Slightly related video, but TLDR people dislike Nickleback in particular because the band is a prime example of so-so musical talent and by-the-nunbers record companies conspiring to push generic music to popularity and stack fat stacks in the process. Plenty of bland bands exist for sure, though this is more a case of people going "I bet you this slop will make bank" and customers falling for it hook line sinker. Not that I'm any better; I owned Silver Side Up back when it was contemporary and even today I still gladly sometimes listen to generic stuff (hell, see some of the stuff I post here). Personally as far as this sort of rock goes, while I unironcially like Photograph, I like Puddle of Mudd a bit more but even then mainly because of that one song in Ace Combat 5.

Sure, and a kid can illicitly drink booze from their parents' fridge. Doesn't make it right nor does it mean age checking for booze is inappropriate.

It's pretty simple: some materials are age restricted. Kids can't buy booze or smokes either, offline or online.

Black Friday hardware haul. We managed to get two of the Lowes bucket giveaways which had a fair bit of tools, batteries, etc. Since we didn't have tools for said battery system, I went ahead and picked up a 4-tool combo that came with another 2 free. Also picked up a ladder at Home Depot, some poinsettias, and some paint supplies.

Funny enough, most of my failures have been Seagates. Granted, these are SMR Barracudas pulled out of external enclosures to save a few bucks. But overall Backblaze data generally doesn't point out any meaningful difference in drives anymore usually, so I just go by what's available / what's the price per TB.

x2 Toshiba X300 Pro 8TB hard drives. Have one drive in the NAS reporting SMART errors and another that simply will not spin anymore.

I've finally got around to joining the DIY club

Personally I've used rubbing alcohol first, then window cleaner, all with microfiber cloth. Works pretty well. Have done some car stuff on my own too, just filters, but looking forward to doing my own oil change soon-ish.

DEAR - Reol (Giga)

Finished my last home project (repainting the porch) and now having to think about replacing my car's cabin air filter. What a massive PITA: https://youtu.be/eNyvQYGgb6I?si=inavqfMoRGUypRcc

Picked up a bunch of stuff from Harbor Freight during this week's sale, but mainly the big items included a mechanic's cart (sadly not in purple), 10in miter saw, rolling stand for said saw, and a 6in grinding wheel.

OP for a VN I'm playing. Catchy beat.
