Comment Re:Normal women... (Score 2) 765

No one minds the calendar of hunks the women hang up. People who hang posters of things don't usually do it because they hate what's on the poster. Therefore, the argument about 'misogyny' is bullshit. We're so busy teaching everyone to 'check their privilege' all the time that people are starting to see 'misogyny' everywhere. If it was named 'CCUNTS' it would be laughed at by men, secure ones anyway. If women are equals then they should be equally secure not to take offense to 'DICCS' or some poster of a female model.

We've turned the workplace into an oppressive hellhole over this shit.

Guess it depends what actually benefits the middle class at this point. Increasing the debt and then tax to cover the increased inflation hurts the dollar saved from both ends. This harms the middle and lower class more than the few bones they're thrown by the left. Which party is always clamoring to increase spending? Which party carves out exemptions and exceptions for those increases for the wealthy/ruling class? Hint: Voting for either just enables this for another round.

You defend one side or the other as the lesser of two evils when they are both part of the problem. Voting democrat or republican is voting for status quo. Obama and the democrats had 8 years to undo some of the damage. What did he do? He signed the patriot renewal. He could've vetoed it. He could've issued the same kind of 'executive orders' that bush abused to undo a lot of that damage too. He didn't. Instead he enabled it for another round, or even enhanced it. You can hate on bush and co all you want, but obama and hillary are just as much to blame.

Some suggestions:

1. the crawlspace needs to be moderate in temperature and relatively dry. Deserts, tundras and saunas are best avoided.

2. You'll want a UPS if this thing's going to have a RAID storage setup. A RAID is not a backup. If it is very large, you'll want some way of storing at least one backup offsite that doesn't involve your internet connection. A safety deposit box works well. I know someone who just duplicates his array to a second set of disks once a month. If he's not doing the backup the disks are in the safety deposit box.

3. Hi res media? You'll want wired gigabit connectivity (or better for the backbone) if you plan on a lot of simultaneous HD. Some here will state that wireless 11ac/ad is good enough for everything but that really depends on the area you live and how your home is constructed. Firmware,driver and hardware combinations can also be issues. Plan for both, but a wire provides much more consistent performance which is important when viewing is the primary activity (ie the big screens).

4. You might consider two separate boxes, one for the system and one for the drives depending on the size of your space. This would make the backup plan a lot easier. Typical connectivity is done with e-sata. I suppose usb3 would work alright too.

I didn't cover every detail but this is how I'd approach it generally.
