Specifically the renewed drives sold by Amazon. They are the returned/refurbished drives. I've probably bought 10 or so in the last few years and that's how they've all come. I haven't had a failed drive out of them yet. (Seagate 22tb and WD reds 18tb)

Amazons renewed drives usually come well packaged. Antistatic bag, suspended inside very thick air pocket thing that completely encases the drive, inside a good cardboard box.
This is why scraping LinkedIn works so well. Using the consistent email format gets you to your target easily. I've used it to get the contact info of the CTO of American Airlines before (his auto-reply included his cell number.)
A good 5 years ago or so I was getting a breakfast burrito when an older couple came in asking for directions. They had an old school mapbook. It took a minute to orient myself, but I found they were on the wrong page.
Its one of my bucket list items, but an old school road trip with nothing but a mapbook and a compass. No real destination, no time frame. Just the open road and exploring. And no GPS to make it efficient or optimized where I'll soar right past everything.
Weird that my mind just read that as MKUltra.
Maybe appropriate for AI.
Because gun control is often written by people who don't understand guns and by people who don't like guns. They also often are written and proposed without much input from gun owners. I'm not against gun control necessarily, but many attempts are just stupid legislation that would be ineffective in meeting it's goal of decreasing gun crimes.
So many gun control laws proposed are unenforceable such as storage laws.
Assault weapon bans use arbitrary features to distinguish them. And many of these are features that make them easier to control when shooting, which inherently means they are more dangerous now.
I really think there is a huge cultural issue around guns that needs to be addressed. Guns are thought of and treated as a solution to disagreements rather than something to protect life and liberty. A solution that is as equally valid is running away or compromising. These are made worse with rhetoric like "fuck around and find out" or " come try that here."
We also have media that has been purposely trying to divide the populace and make them afraid. Afraid when they leave their house all the time and afraid that someone is going to come into their house.
We have a lot of issues surrounding guns. And while gun control will be a feature of tackling it, so much more needs to be done to address it.
Totally reasonable. I don't shuck anymore, so I don't have the concern of getting the wrong disk.
I've personally never had a problem with their returns before. But I haven't had a doa disk out of their "renewed" internal disks yet.
