What about Unicron, but pre-destruction? He’s basically planet sized.

Would I know everything I know now? Cause if not, then what’s the point? I might as well be a completely different person (because I would be).

If I do know everything I know now, then would I retain that intelligence if I was another creature? Like could I come back as a chimpanzee with my full current intellect? What about an octopus?

Could I come back as a 90 year old billionaire’s only heir, and be born with my complete current knowledge? Then I can just use the cash to help people?

Since this is fantasy anyway, could I come back as a Viltrumite? What about a Kryptonian?

Could I be Cthulhu?

Could I just be me, but reborn with my current information?

WHAT ARE THE RULES???

Nice try, NYPD

There are websites that buy this stuff, this is just one example, and there are others. You can get a bit of cash without a ton of effort, just pack it up nicely and send it in.

Well, if LTT is involved, then I probably want nothing to do with it.

It’s based off a very real Logitech statement.

Just get them an old timey ahooga horn for their handlebars.

As someone who trains dogs professionally, you are 100% correct.

If you have a beard and don’t trim anything, it looks bad anyway. You should be trimming the neck or other stray hairs to make it look clean.

Some people’s beards don’t grow in well everywhere, so it looks better than a scraggly mess at the cheeks.

It’s also just a style, so it doesn’t have to make sense.

Yup, sometime in the next year or two I’ll get laid off, then I’ll just mooch off my spouse.

FYI, in case anyone is running 7.2.1, just be aware that you have to MANUALLY update because you need to agree to new terms that removes local hardware processing of some media types.

https://www.synology.com/en-global/releaseNote/DSM

7.2.2-72806 Update 1 is the update with the new patches.

If you’re running Plex locally (i.e. - not in docker) you’ll need to manually install the updated 7.2.2 patch. You need to download it locally, then push it back up to your NAS bypassing the normal process. You can’t use the plex client to prompt the update, and you can’t use the synology package manager to update.

The package links on Reddit and some other sites are older versions that may not install

If you’re running home assistant, you can put some inline power monitoring plugs in. I like the thirdreality ones, cause you can set them to “default on” or “default off” after power failure and run it as a zigbee local network without requiring internet access.

Oof, that’s a lot of juice.

I’m running a UPS, Syno720+, old gaming laptop as a portainer host, my wifi, router, cable modem, and switches, and that’s only using about 50w for everything. Pretty sure the Synology is using the bulk of that power, but I don’t have data to back that up.

I’d like to upgrade a few things, but I’m really trying to keep it below 75w. Ideally below 50w if I can. I think my old laptop is good for now, just want more flexibility in my NAS if I can do it without bumping up the power budget.

Any idea what your power consumption is for the 1618? I currently have a 720, but with only two drives it’s kind of limiting for HDD upgrades.

There’s a saying you might want to get familiar with

“If everywhere you look, all you see is assholes, maybe you’re the asshole.”

That’s half the plot of Armageddon (1998)

The mechanical iris was a later addition, before that there was a stone cover. Without either anyone can come through from the other side.

A little irresponsible leaving it unguarded with the iris open.

To be fair, what if the entire skeleton drastically changes once you die? You can’t prove it’s NOT the case without an MRI.

Tho… What if an MRI causes the same changes as death…
