I have an older PC running as a file server using an Asus mobo raid controller that I’ve been afraid of updating. It also is the newest PC I have that still has an optical drive. I found some old discs I wanted to recover the data from, but Windows decided it could see the optical drive and assign it a drive letter, was happy with the driver, but did not want to actually read any discs. Fortunately, I too had a Cinnamon Mint USB on my desk, and a very old laptop with an optical drive that had an unbootable Windows 7 install on it. Fired it up and had it on the network and copying files from a DVD-R to my NAS in just a few minutes! Laptop is now running Mint and performs well :)

Since you are likely going to need to create bootable media for any OS install anyway, just use Rufus for Windows 11. Check a few boxes and you don’t have to deal with anything you don’t want. Well, other than Windows that is.
Totally! What kind of monster wears their crocs in sports mode?
1·3 months agoThe smell comes from a person’s saliva which often gets spewed into the air after a sneeze. The droplets hang in the air a long time. Some peoples’ sneezes have a sickly sweet odour that smells the same as honey to me. Other sneezes don’t smell like much of anything to me though. I don’t know if I’m smelling an infection byproduct, a food, or maybe a lack of hydration causing their saliva to have a strong smell, but it always smells the same to me. As for taste? I think I’d rather not explore that. I imagine it might taste like it smells, so like honey.
I can’t stand honey. It smells like when people sneeze, so I have never wanted to even taste it. So I guess bee phlegm and human phlegm smell the same to me?

2·4 months agoOver 600 comments, and among the many recurring mentions of the greatest shows in television history, I didn’t see The Venture Bros. mentioned at all. It is quite possibly the best-written show of all time.
Probably best to just watch the asdf movie he debuted in. If it still doesn’t make much sense, that’s asdf!
Good to see Bluntman has joined forces with Captain Obvious. Ambiguity never stood a chance.
Things got rough for Homer after Marge died.
Ah, those sound like (mostly?) C64 games! We traded out the VIC-20 for a C64 around 1983. Much easier to get software for that. Everyone seemed to have them and a myriad of copy utilities and blank diskettes. I too remember getting a copy of Giana Sisters instead of the alternative for those with the NES. But we had just Mario Bros. where you got to whack turtles coming out of sewer pipes! I wish I had the AD&D games. Would have loved them, I bet. By the time those were released, I was rocking an XT when dad wasn’t using it for work, and using the C64 with a 1200 baud modem in the cartridge slot to play door games on BBSes when he was.
Never thought about it that way, but that’s wild. I was pre-school and already learning BASIC with our VIC-20. One of the earliest we bought was a dual-sided cassette of Math Hurdler and Monster Maze, but my dad spent all night on Christmas Eve typing in Killer Comet from some magazine so we could see it do something when we woke up to it at Christmas. I’d say my favourite of the magazine games was Tank vs UFO, though I still remember the frustration when one of those programs wouldn’t run! How about you? Programmed stuff like Rocket Command or was VIC Avenger more your speed?
You might really like this one then. The show is one of the best ever too.
Yeah, but if it was a gang bang with only one man, it would mostly look like Tom playing four jaw harps.

With taxes, it’s only 4800.
