  1. Regarding the bottom story: Oops!

  2. Clearly these people were thinking clearly and knew where
    to go and what to do when they got there! Miral is right, they
    are a perfect fit to the Empire.

    Ah yeah… Some entiled beyatch is getting a HARD lesson from
    Teresa AND the King and Queen when this major goes home!
    Sounds to me like someone misses being a lieutenant! It makes
    me wonder if this was a set up from the start, to give a certain
    royal pain her lesson for the year.

  3. PC, when I told my son about the 2TB SSD HD he wanted
    the link as well, so bless his heart there’s 2 of them
    due next week! It’s been ages since I last replaced a
    C: drive, so if I’m gone a bit I’m not ghosting everyone,
    I’m just having issues with it.

    • Western Digital has free downloadable Acronis disk clone software,
      it works as long as one of the disks is a WD.
      It’s really simple, you connect your new drive to your computer,
      install the Acronis software to your C:drive,
      start it and follow the directions.
      You can connect the new drive with a USB adapter or with SATA
      power and data cables, it doesn’t matter.

      • Once you’re done, swap drives and power your computer up. It
        shouldn’t be down for more than half an hour. When I upgrade
        a computer like this, I usually leave the old drive in place,
        but unconnected, just in case I need to swap back for some
        reason. Or use it for additional storage.
        https://crystalmark.info/en/download/
        Crystal Disk Mark and Crystal Disk Info. They’re both free,
        CDM will tell you how fast your drives are, and CDI will
        tell you what shape they’re in, so you can get an idea of
        how much longer they’ll last.
        I would run both on your old drive just to see, and to
        compare the speeds with the new one. You’ll really see a
        difference in boot up times and load times for your
        programs! Adding an SSD is the #1 way to breathe new life
        into an old computer.

        • I used an old generic drive swapper, it took a “snap shot”
          of the old drive and pasted it onto the new drive. But that
          was for Windows ’98, so I doubt it would work for 10.
          When I started to use XP, I didn’t run into the situation
          like this. So I never upgraded from the FAT32 file system.
          I have a Sandisk SSD in my system now, but it’s only a 240gb.
          So I doubt it’ll be a faster HD, just more space for things.
          The real concern is while it’s a 240, there’s only 225
          available, meaning the reinstall for the OS is on a partion
          on the C: drive, I’ve never dealt with that before.

          • Sounds like you might have to do a fresh install of Win10
            on the new drive and transfer the other files over.
            Or just keep your old files on your current SSD and add
            any new stuff to the new one as you go along.
            Or some combination of the two.

            • President Elect Toxic Deplorable Racist SAH Neanderthal B Woodman Domestic Violent Extremist SuperStraight

              “Fresh install of Win 10″…..riiiiight.
              Only if you can get/find/buy a copy (from MS?).
              MS is pushing the Win11 hard & heavy now.
              I keep getting these silly little popups/messages,
              “It’s time to update to Win 11. Let’s update and check your
              current computer. Oops! Sorry. Can’t do that with your
              current computer. Maybe time to buy a new computer?
              Click here for our easy rates and terms.”

              Windows. The worst virus to ever infect a computer.
              And I thought AOL was bad.
              Maybe it’s time for me to learn and install Linux.

              • My wife and I both got the “we’re going to stop supporting
                Windows 10 in October of 2025.” Yeah, both our computers
                are fairily old and could probably stand replacing. I hate to do
                it. Who knows? At my age, a year and a half from now isn’t
                all that assured. I wonder what kind of arm twisting Windows
                will do between now and then. An update that crashes the
                system, maybe?

                • President Elect Toxic Deplorable Racist SAH Neanderthal B Woodman Domestic Violent Extremist SuperStraight

                  “Stop supporting” only means that they’ll no longer do updates,
                  or additional virus protections, etc.
                  It doesn’t mean that it will disappear, crash-and-burn, or stop working.
                  If you don’t want to update to Win11, you can continue to enjoy your
                  Win10 for many more years.
                  I have an old laptop with Win7 on it, it works just fine.
                  BUT….I’m thinking of retiring it, some websites are no longer
                  backwards compatible.

              • The Win10 ISO is still available from Microsquiff for free.
                https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO
                Reinstall should be easy as long as you have your original product key.
                Belarc Advisor will tell you every product key on your computer,
                I would make a hard copy of every one first.

                • I just downloaded a copy, for future use if needed.
                  I already have one on a different USB stick,
                  but you never know…

                • I kept all the documents in the box that the tower
                  came in, but I don’t remember seeing a P-code,
                  cross fingers gang! They aren’t here yet, I’m just
                  getting ready.

        • I have already checked, I have 2 SSD and HD power cables
          included, so that’s not an issue, Ill just have to reassign the
          drive letters once the transfer is done, I just hope it’s much
          faster process than the last time I did this! But that was from
          a 8 gig to a 16 in FAT32.

          • Just check Acronis and see if it works for you.

            • I d/l it and the instruction PDF,
              i’ll study it completely before attempting.

              • What do you use your computer for?

                • Other than annoying you guys? Cad and slicing.
                  and taking a break on YouTube or Paramount+.

                • And I play games as well, just not as much as I once did 😛

    Regarding the top comc;
    I think we just found our Special Forces Academy.

    As to the bottom comic;
    Yeah, I ran I to my share of officers who thought that just
    because of their rank, they were above the rules and everyone
    should bow down to them. Mostly, Academy pukes on their first
    cruise, who had less authority than the lowest enlisted.
    Yeah, the division officers took them down a few pegs…

  5. Petercat –

    Will that process work with the new SPX Dell 8690 with Windows11 I now have –
    Status post-crash and partial recovery – and took my Acronis 2015 with it.
    My w10Pro apparently self-corrupted during serial update(s) . . .

    Is there a way to create an additional drive partition without a reformatting?
    thnx

    • I’m not PC but if I remember right, yes, IF there is NO
      data in the area that you want to part out. That’s very tricky
      to do, you might want to go to a site like http://www.filehippo.com
      or cnet.com and look for a hard drive partitioning tool.
      A decent one will take care of that issue for you. Keep in
      mind, when your computer writes to a hard drive, it doesn’t
      care where on the drive it puts data, that’s why you have to
      defrag them from time to time.

  6. English dubbed and it seems complete, the live action
    version. I knew it existed, by dumb luck I found it:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9OP96UxilA
    The only decent one I remember…

    • President Elect Toxic Deplorable Racist SAH Neanderthal B Woodman Domestic Violent Extremist SuperStraight

      Shows how much I haven’t been paying attention.
      I never knew there was a live action version.
      The only one I was aware of was the (70s?) anime series.
      Thx for the link. I’ll watch it later.

    • https://animension.to/search?search_text=yamato
      Heh. Two pages. There were sequels, and they are dubbed.
      Animension is a good place to be get lost.

      • I never looked into sequels, I thought the ship was destroyed at the end.
        I remember the Captain ordering everyone off and he died in the final fight
        when the ship went down. But that was 30 years ago and I’ve slept since
        then 😛
