  • I believe i have them in a RAID right now. At least I still meet 3-2-1 for important stuff since I have those drives in my computer, various flash drives, an external hard drive, and a cloud spot.

  • I just replaced a Note 9 a couple months ago. Before that was a Note 3. I despise setting up new phones.

  • Do mirrored drives in a computer count as 1 or 2 locations? It's physically 2 locations, but kinda act as one for most software type issues.

  • I probably should have worded that better. I found the flash drive they were on. They are now on two mirrored hard drives in my tower, the flash drive, and a cloud service.

  • I have two drives in my tower that are just for my data. They are just folders of files. And there are two because I lost a chunk of data when the single drive it used to be died. Luckily most of it was also elsewhere, but I did think I had lost half of my wedding photos since I couldnt find the flash drive.

  • how's your week going, Beehaw

  • Just got the guy out who put the roof on my house out to see if he could find where a small leak had developed and reattach a piece of flashing. Flashing was easy, he popped a new nail in, I just dont have a ladder that would raeach that area. He couldn't find anything obvious for the leak though so he just hit all the likely places.

  • Found that there is probably a small leak in my roof somewhere, so that's fun. Not sure what else would be causing a wet spot on the exterior wall after last night's rain.

    On the bright side, the bit of rain over the weekend basically filled my 2 rain barrels so at least I know that works and collects a good amount of water. Somewhere around 80 to 90 gallons would be my guesstimate.

    Edit: Rained a bit more, definitely some sort of leak, but also rain barrels are nearly full now (I'd guess north of 100 gallons, 100% full should be 110 gallons)

  • Also make sure you are well covered to avoid burns from weld spatter.

    And sunburn. First time I played around with welding I didn't get any weld splatter, but just about 30 seconds to a minute of welding in short sleeves was enough to sunburn (er, I guess weldburn?) my arms. That light's intense.

  • Self-Driving Tesla Fails School Bus Test, Hitting Child-Size Dummies… Meanwhile, Robo-Taxis Hit the Road in 2 Weeks.

    Jump

  • My last employer was trying to get autonomous busses going. As far as I knew, when I left a few years ago the only place the busses were allowed to be autonomous was around the bus depot to hit all the maintenance, fueling, and cleaning stations on closed roads before parking itself (and I'm actually not 100% sure they would park themselves) at the end of the day. There was no timeline for on-route autonomy that I was aware of, but I was also not really involved so my info was 2nd hand.

  • You know, the truck I had at the time somehow never had it's Sirius radio shut off. Although, I never got billed for it either....

  • Ordered dirt, company delivered landscaping rocks, they apologized, we laughed, they laughed, the rocks didn't laugh. Our garden beds are now filled with a compost/topsoil blend, just need to plant stuff.

    Whole family got together for mothers day up in Michigan and had a great time. We had an extra person to give gifts to which is exciting.

  • Well, this weekend went way better than the week started. My sister-in-law had an awesome time at her prom from what she told us. And my wife somehow found an MSR 4-person tent for $10 at Goodwill. We did a test set up yesterday and the thing looks like it's unused.

  • Slate Truck is a $20,000 American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreen

  • They might be doing some sort of glass chop in areas (actually, i wouldnt be surprised if this is what they mean by "composit body panels", open molds would be cheap as hell, and parts are cheap too), but I used to use that more for body panels or exterior details than anything super structural. I guess they could do fiberglass frame rails, but that still feels like it would be a strange choice at what just doing basic ladder frame in steel would cost.

  • It's also 20ish" shorter, seats 5 with a 5 foot bed, can carry 4x8 sheets flat between the wheel wells (and tailgate closed if the midgate is open), tows a bit over 3 tons, has an AWD option, and the base range beats the maxed out range on the Slate. They aren't really competitors beyond "small truck." Telo is absolutely maxed out for it's size, Slate is as cheap as cheap can go.

  • At the cost of the mold to do something like that (and the machine to even run it), I'm reasonably sure that stamped or brake pressed frame rails make more sense cost wise. I'm not sure that volume will ever drive the cost of that low enough to be worth it within the life of a mold like that. Like, I can picture the design to make it a basic two plate mold (I think, I'm more used to parts that top out a bit over a foot in the largest dimension), but then the gate size and shot volume I'm picturing to fill the thing is just bonkers, although apparently there are a few machines in the world that could theoretically do it if I'm reading their specs right from a quick search.

    Unless your thinking a carbon fiber layup, which is feasible, but I believe metal becomes more cost effective again at that point.
