  • I might as well go first: Emilia - Big Big World

    I absolutely hated it when it was released and played everywhere, and I recently accidentally stumbled across it, and to the surprise of nobody, I still loathe it.

    • Melody of a lullaby.
    • Least interesting chord progression in existence.
    • Lyrics as if they were written by a 12 year old.
    • Annoying motifs.

    Honorable mention: How you remind me. I'm not just bandwagoning on nicklelback hate here, I actually kinda like them, at least their first album. But that song is so overplayed and overrated I simply cannot stand it.

  • My understanding, Extremely simplified:

    • Iran had US hostages.
    • "But we need guns".
    • US wanted to buy some goodwill
    • CIA wanted something untraceable cash
    • CIA sold guns to Iran for cash they could then funnel into backing the Contras
    • Iran accepted weapons, but took their bloody time releasing any hostages
    • The agreement had basically devolved into selling weapons for no apparent advantage (Unless you're in the CIA)
    • Media learns about the ordeal
    • Oliver North gets thrown under the bus as a scapegoat
    • Hostages are eventually released
    • fast forward a few decades, and Oliver North becomes yet another talking head for Fox News whenever something vaguely familiar to him is in the news cycle (Iran)
  • Some poor sod of a corporal who just wants to finish his contract so he can enroll into college without crippling debt just exhaled a Category 5 sigh once he realized he now has to paint thousands of vehicles tan again.

  • It's way too late at night for me to give an in-depth answer, but I just wanted to let you know that if you plan on adding drives over time, you might want to check out running the disks in JBOD instead of RAID and the use ZFS to create the storage volume. Redundancy supported, and you can add disks whenever you need more space. The disks don't even have to be the same size.

    Source: Around the turn of the millennium, I enjoyed remote snooping on other people's PCs for a short while. It was short because the contents of the PC of the average person turned out to be mindnumbingly boring.
