I watched the entire thing waiting for the punchline that would remind you of me. It was a long wait.

Then I realized I was the punchline.

It made me think of you because you're the kind of guy that I believe appreciates a good laugh at things like this.








Also because you are an excellent subsistence asshole farmer.

Well, went to fire up the Asus laptop this morning…. straight to BIOS it went. And then no sign of the SSD to boot from, BIOS doesn’t see it. On the surface it would seem the SSD turned into a paperweight, but I know that’s not for sure, and damn, the thing is only 3 years old and I’d had no problems with it recently. I tried disabling Secure Boot and Fast Boot, but without the drive showing up in BIOS it didn’t make a difference.

Any ideas from you computer wizards out there?

Figured I’d order a USB adaptaer for the m.2 SSD and connect it to an old laptop to see if anything shows up at least.

I've decided to take up golf at 34 because I believe it's a good career move.

I'm left-handed. It's damned near impossible to find left handed clubs.

First step would be to unseat it and reseat it. Just make sure it’s not something real dumb like it just jarred a bit loose.

Then your step is a good next one. It shouldn’t just go poof, but you can’t rule it out. Test it in a known good machine.

Chiclets branded beer is rolling out in MI. Untapped has hits in Battle Creek, Manistee and Westland. It is just Labatt in a different can but I will buy it in December.

Forgot to mention, yeah, I did open 'er up, remove and reseat the drive. No visible issues there, and no change to the problem after re-seating. On to getting the adapter....
 
Anyone know if ESPN+ still wont let us start a game from the beginning? It gets annoying rewinding trying to find the beginning of the game.

You can start from the beginning in ESPN+

Can't check on my work computer, but I think it's 3 dots when you select a feed.
 
Hey guys, with the new season kicking off we've brought in @Lil Sebastian Cossa to help the mod team.

So if you have any issues or complaints, it's probably his fault so just send them straight to him.

But seriously, can't wait for this season and to goof around with you guys in the GDTs. Let's do that hockey!

It's on me. Everything that is wrong with the board is like being in a tunnel with no light.

You have the same faith when you expect no light. You have the same belief in what you're doing when you expect no light. ... It's dark and I'm going to dig through. My shovel is sharp and my pick is sharp and my will is outstanding.

Man, I must've tumbled down the mod depth chart further than I thought. What's the message board equivalent to Toledo? It's like I'm still skating on the Wikipedia Editors over here. Nicknamed me grandpa and gave me a pitty "A" to wear on my polo shirt :cry:

So let me make sure I understand this correctly.

If I have questions about Jesper Wallstedt... I can now ask @Lil Sebastian Cossa ?

Or if it's been far too long since the last rousing version of, "Will Zach Werenski ever follow his heart and return to Detroit?"... @Lil Sebastian Cossa is the newest resident expert?

Or if, despite my best efforts, the recipe for the perfect appletini has been just out of my tormented grasp, to the point of maddening obsession... @Lil Sebastian Cossa might very well have the elusive knowledge I seek?


Oh wait. You probably just meant he could help with message board issues. That's fairly underwhelming by comparison. Carry on.

Hey, I was molded by Rod Marinelli, Steve Mariucci, Marty Mornhinweg…I am full on Carlo Colaiacovo over here

I can do all of that and more. Parcheesi alternate rulesets? I’m your man.

How to eat tacos like Catherine Tate from the Office? I gotchu

Which Pokémon best represents our top scorers on the team?

For what it's worth, @Lil Sebastian Cossa really wants to see your complaints about Franzen vs. Hossa in his inbox.

Or Cleary vs. Nyquist.
