if you dont want to throw them away or otherwise destroy them, you use them. for storage. in or otherwise attached to another computer

i dont understand what you dont understand. do we need to enumerate the things that can be stored on hard drives?

what do you typically do with your old hard drives when you replace them in your NAS with newer, bigger ones
it seems like a waste to just have them sitting in anti-static bags for all eternity

would buying one of those external hard drive docks and sticking them in that also be a viable solution?

Alright then, I will say one last thing on the subject and let it drop so the nerds can go back to their delightful discussion of figgies and "MEETINGS! MEETINGS! MEETINGS! AACK!"

When I say it's not your call, it isn't to say that you lack the capacity to form cogent opinions or lack insight or whatever. However, it does mean that as far as I am able to determine with the information I have on hand you are likely to be escape any impact or effect of what you are judging; my experience has led me to believe that it is, for you, an ephemeral moment with insufficient emotional impact or personal relevance to bear noticing its repetition—passively or, just as commonly, as the active choice of some poo poo-for-brains who doesn't care if attack helicopters are still clever as long as he can get a laugh from other poo poo-for-brains.

As I said just now, which bears repeating, an ephemeral moment, quickly half-forgotten, and not just another thread in a tapestry of bullshit cruelty that is woven day by day and hour by hour in the lives of those to whom you consider your experiences comparable enough to weigh in over their varyingly strident objections.

It's what I call a Ladybug's Dick: they know where it is, you probably don't. It is outside your area of direct experience. You don't get to tell the ladybug that their dick isn't a dick. I mean it's perfectly understandable and in no way blameworthy to not know which ladybug has or has not a dick. It's even not that bad to think "well that there particular ladybug doesn't seem like it has a dick," because, again, unless you're a ladybug or very specific and possibly pervy sort of entomologist, you simply lack the proper context, but when the ladybug says "um, actually I do," or "that's an ovipositor, weirdo" it is simply the best course of action to listen. And maybe apologize (a lady can be quite self-conscious about the size of her ovipositor after all).

All that said, things also don't have to rise to the level of hateful to be unacceptable. There are a great many things that have been said without using a handful of words that can be easily flagged but are still drenched in venom and a sneering contempt that cuts through you in a way that—even though at this point you're not my favorite person in the world—I hope you never experience.

And while I enjoy a sensible chuckle as much as the next bitch, there are certain subjects I have to take seriously as well as some I choose to, a lot of which falls into Chappelle's ouvre now that he's in the "have you ever seen a lobster fork... ON WEED?!?!'"/"it's not safe to perform at colleges any more 🥵" phase of his career, which I put onto being so long safely ensconced from the everyday existence of his audience that the only common ground remaining is "being lovely about things"

Anywho, none of this is strictly my fault. I was once bitten on the moors by a creature half-human, half-chihuaha and the trembling moon approaches...

oh come on i didn’t even break the skin :rolleyes:

I had a noble goal for a few days of making a list of every bathroom on campus and rating how it was for pooping in, but gave up after only a couple because most of them are pretty cramped and awful. Now I just poop in my own toilet because 1) bidet and 2) lol @ ever going back to campus

i have identified the best bathroom on my campus for pooping in, but i'm never telling anyone about it.
