Installing on the second drive (your Western Digital nvme drive) should leave Windows intact on the first drive. You’ll have to go into Bios setup when you restart, then pick the WD drive to be prior to the drive with Windows on it in the boot order.

I would choose the Erase Disk option using your WD nvme drive. That should fully reformat the drive for use. I installed Kubuntu on an external ssd just over a week ago. Using it to run my desktop system, and liking it for the most part. Want to make a full switch if I can resolve a couple issues. Hope it goes well for you!

Put in for a replacement power pack on Friday. Just had to enter the order number from Amazon, and upload two pictures of the power pack including the model and serial number. Bought the recalled one in 2018, and it was still working fine when I charged and used it last month. Oh well, I’ll drop it off for recycle next trip to the county waste facility.

Flogging Molly. Was dating my wife when we first got to see them play, along with Gogol Bordello. Our first show together, she loved it. Decided I should keep her at that point. :) We’ve seen them 7 more times over the years.

Detergent, used in a lot of cleaning products.

I usually use epoxy or 3M double sided adhesive tabs. This time the holes in the model I downloaded ended up being undersized, so heat setting seemed like a good plan. Guess not.

He’s a hoopy frood who knows where his towel is.

Are your oven’s thermometer and kitchen scale within their calibration due dates? Is that timer NIST traceable? The measuring cups ARE Class A glassware, aren’t they? Please, at least tell me you’re getting your ingredients from certified suppliers… No, the spices from the dollar store down the road are most definitely NOT on the approved list, no matter how cheap they were! Dear Lord, how are you going to blame the recipies when your kitchen is still operating in the Dark Ages?

Definitely stressful, my dad had been a controller in the USAF. It’s where he learned to drink heavily when off duty. Of course, they were stationed in Greenland, so there wasn’t anything else to do.

Danger Mouse, international spy and crime fighting white rodent with an eye patch. Old British cartoon from the early 80’s.

Estwing 22oz smooth faced ripping/framing hammer. Bought one about 30 years ago when I was doing roofing and framing work. Still use it all the time. Comfortable and durable, great for construction and demolition work. Does a nice job digging out stubborn nails. If I could only have one hammer in my tool bag, that’s what it would be.

Worked for a while at a company that created natural flavor extracts. A couple people worked with a client coming up with new flavored alcohols. On Friday afternoons they would make up small mixed drinks for people to try out and get opinions.

Looks like he’s laying next to a giant Tollhouse cookie.

Campfire, and the smell of woodsmoke on clothing the day after.

Farts aren’t supposed to be chunky.

Used to use Vent playing Eve Online 19 years ago. Worked great back then. Apparently it’s still around, but still no Linux support after all these years.

All the pressure built up from the escalating screams echoing inside my skull will make my head explode in a spectacular and messy fashion.

If you have an enclosure, I would say try out ASA. Similar to ABS, I’ve found it makes some really nice parts that are tough and UV resistant. Great for things you want to leave outdoors. Otherwise TPU is useful stuff too, and no heated chamber required. I was using it this weekend to print up seals and grommets for a trailer I’m rewiring. It’s nice being able to print up some parts I need rather than making a drive to the hardware store and hoping they’ll have something I can use.

I agree that it’s probably a speed issue. When I first started printing, I was seeing just how fast I could go with PLA and tuning for that. Decided to try out PETG a few months later, and it was a disaster. Layers weren’t bonding properly, and the filament would bridge across points on the print. Once I backed print speed down to 50, I started to get much better results.

They probably won’t include all the federal employees being kicked to the curb in the unemployment numbers either.
