how a shingled WD Red is benchmarking

The dips in read speed seem to indicate the disk-managed shingle management kicking in

Although 128MB/sec isn't stellar for write speed, it's way faster than the 40MB/sec I'm allegedly supposed to be topping out at with these drives.

(it's a single disk in a USB 3.0 external SATA hookup)

And oh... the resolution is ass when you need it most. I got tricked into buying FAKE painting, so I set up fake art gallery on another god-forsaken rock

DONE

Filbert is on my island and now my island is complete!

Maxell "Gold" MiniDisc.

I really should have (re)discovered MD when I could start affording it (i.e., by about 1998).

In 1992 when I first saw it, it was way out of my budget.

I only got this Aiwa AM-F80 a few years ago, and that's cause a working Sony got expensive again.

When even the election office in a stubbornly conservative county sends out pre-filled applications for mail-in ballots, you know shit is real

>have the game kick Sprocket to make room for Chrissy, cause that's not totally passive-aggressive

OBJECTIVE COMPLETE

Also: I absolutely love how Francine has Chrissy's pic in her house.

CHIPS.EXE

Island map I enhanced, which is now out of date. I have to wait until tomorrow to update it.

The official Apple installer should be like this

Meanwhile, at Microsoft:

DIE

My green laser turns ORANGE

After one fail in surround sound in the living room, I replaced all that junk with a sound bar, and suddenly had some speakers and a sub available.

I also had a head unit from my old car, so I combined it all to make office tunes

Fortunately, it sounds way better than it looks.

This is what "black" currently looks like
