I am SO glad I was not infantry when I was in.
I was a POG (Person Other then Grunt),
subcategory 31E Field Radio Repair.
Yes, we did some infantry training, but nothing
like what the Drill is proclaiming in panel 7.
Ouch!
Ah, playing with the big guns, I like.
I hate the idea of killing people souly
because someone told me to, but
to those deserving it…
I have fired a 12 gauge more than a few,
an AR .223, and my son’s M1 once.
Took me a bit to get my shoulder joint
back in place, that rifle has KICK! Worse
than a 12 gauge…
Reminds me more of Rocket, most wild raccoons are fluffy,
like if they tucked in their faces and tail they look like a
fuzzy kick-ball, sorry to those who like them, they have
been a major pain to the chickens and us.
Wth is it doing? Adding to the kill count?
Scaring the crap out of a pilot? Or giving
us a funny scene where someone jumps
out of the craft with the ‘coon hanging
onto them? HA!
You know, I’ve got a feeling that the “gift” is about to get destroyed.
What would be both sad alone a twist of the knife, is, if the “gift”
was a genuine gift with no ulterior motives. I know its a bit of a reach,
but sometimes, people have been known to give a gift because they
feel it fills a need, and won’t really profit from the gesture.
For example; the Georgia Stones. Someone anonymously had them
made, set up and donated to the public, as whoever did it, felt that
they would be of value to future generations. So, of course, some
moron goes and blows them up in the middle of the night if for no
other reason than that they could.
In short, sometimes people really DO, do things because they feel
it’s the right thing to do.
If it does get destroyed, and the reason for the gift was pure
altruism, it would show that the Empire isn’t perfect and people
DO make mistakes some times.
(Of course, I do get why they would HAVE to get rid of it, as the
appearance of an inappropriate gift, would damage the
reputation of the Empire and Empress. Catch 22…)
I think you’re right, and tactically it’s useless for anything
but a show piece. And what does the military do with an
asset that’s lived out it’s purpose? BOOM! That frenchie
might start crying without knowing why… 😛
Well crap, I installed the new drive, hooked it up, started
my computer, nothing…
It didn’t see the drive at all!
So I thought I’d take a break to calm down before cracking
open the case again, never a good idea to touch expensive
and delicate electronic devices while in a murderous rage….
Is it SSD drive or a HDD? First check all the connections.
If it’s HDD touch it while turning the power on and check
if it starts spinning. You should feel the slight vibrations.
Then get into the BIOS and check if the BIOS sees it.
If no, you have problem with your hardware.
If yes, it’s probably a matter of simply partitioning and
formatting the drive, although Windows 10/11 should
recognize the drive and offer you to format it right away…
It’s a SSD, so no noise or anything, SSD is totally
new to me so I’m basically working in the dark here.
I’m no spring chicken but my main talent was figuring
things out, I was completely self-taught in both computer
tech and coding, I’m sure I just got to get the wheels
turning again… Don’t retire gang, the brain gets squishy
and weak 😛
Don’t forget your other resource – WD Customer Service.
Of course, your computer was built before most of them were born.
I have a Bionix motherboard with both SATA and IDE connectors,
it still works.
It’s screwed to my wall for decoration.
There was several power plugs, some might just
be like an extension cord and I don’t have the
other end plugged in or something like that. I did
try the Acronis and it doesn’t see it either, so in
the morning I’ll break open the case and go
through the wires and see where I went wrong.
I used to be the “computer guy” in my
neighborhood 20 years ago…
But that’s a very long time in the tech world, so
learning curve?
ok it’s all done, the mobo sata slot was dusty,
a quick blow out and the cloner found it, setup
the file system, and everything went good.
Only thing left is to whipe the 240 gb and use it.
It has both the SATA and the SATA 3 plugs,
I just didn’t see the dust bunny in the sata
data slot. Was just enough to stop the
connection, I had hoped it was something
simple and I was too tired and pissed to
see it.
Ahhhh…..now we come back to the bribe……errrrr…….
grift……I mean, “gift”. More waiting (sigh).

Loved the way the Catman snuck a cat into P6. He’s good at that.
Is that a cat? It has rings on its tail
and a sharp nose.
Racoon, panels 6, 7, and 8.

Why would a coon be climbing
around on a locust like that?
Oops. I was looking at it on a little 10″ tablet.
It looked like a cat to me. Oh well.
Ain’t the first time I’ve been wrong.
Won’t be the last.

Did you go into This PC/Manage/Disk management?
You might need to partition it so your computer
will see it.

if it starts spinning. You should feel the slight vibrations.

I suspect that the only way you’re going to get power to your SSD
is with a 4-pin to SATA power connector.
Does your power supply even have SATA power connectors?

long day I just want to play Fallout 4
kill some raiders and ghouls, and relax…
I swear I’m going full-auto with my son’s
.50 on the bull yet!!!!
