[MBZ] super size shoo goo

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

I got 2 tubes of Henry #212  "super clear all purpose sealant" in 
caulking tubes after I watched roofer use something similar in place of 
chimney flashing.   The stuff looks and smells like shoo goo!  If you 
need lots, it is much cheaper in the caulking tube than the little bit 
sold as shoo goo.   However, if you only need a little, then the small 
tubes of shoo goo may be more economical.  I would guess the big tube 
may become unusable in a month or two as the solvent evaporates, despite 
your best efforts.

Never had one fall apart before, but the two parts are actually completely 
separate filters -- the high density (gin trash or string wound) fine filter 
bleeds back into the oil pan, the full flow paper filter feeds the engine oil 
passages.  There is a seal between them that the "post" goes through.

Unless the seal between the two halves was damaged, no harm done, they are just 
rolled together so you don't have two separate pieces to deal with.

After I got a couple pair of Jefferson seconds ($495 shoes) for $150/pr after 
all discounts (they were in the shoe bank tent sale for $199 and I had some 
American Express $50 off on $200 purchase offers), I wondered just how I was

[MBZ] Heads up OK listers!

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

Okla. blaze burns 120,000 acres, destroys homesPublished: Friday, April 13,
2018

An Oklahoma wildfire has burned over 120,000 acres, forcing hundreds of
people to leave their homes.

The fire has destroyed multiple homes near Woodward, but no injuries have
been reported, said Woodward County Emergency Management Director Matt
Lehenbauer.

Another fire has burned over 21,000 acres near Leedey, about 40 miles from
Woodward, according to the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management.

Low humidity and strong winds will create dangerous fire conditions in the
state through Saturday, the National Weather Service reports (Associated

For everything, or just the occasional cherry-picked item?

Keep an eye on eBay. We sell it to a recycler who probably then sells it there. 
You see lots of old corporate machines on there.
Time was I could haul stuff home from work pretty easily. They've really 
cracked down on that which is weird, we get very little for stuff from the 
recyclers, it'd be easier to have a process to decomission stuff and have it go 
home with people...

I do have it doing server like duties, with multiple remote sessions.

Re: [MBZ] OT - desktop hard disks

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Jim,
Your note about wear leveling and full drives helped me to realize a point. 
I've noted that SSDs suffer worse than spinning disks for slowing down when 
they get really full. Somebody had told me that it was due to wear leveling, 
now I better understand, thanks for that.
We sell an SSD array for video storage that pulls an astounding 3,000MB/s out 
of 10 drives to deliver to up to 10 simultaneous client connections. Those 
numbers may not seem that impressive but the same system with spinning disk 
drives is only 600MB/s.
Side note, we currently support up to 6.4PB total storage. The numbers have 
gotten goofy. When I started teaching back in 2006 we supported up to 192TB...

I scraped up an analysis of flash memory that I had written awhile ago,
sanitized it, and put it on my web site.
Feel free to point out where I am wrong!  (If you can...  :-)

Windows 10: Hit the Windows button or click on the Window Icon on the task
bar, Just above the Power Icon there should be a gear icon. That is the new
Settings interface. Click that and you will bring up "Settings" however I
don't have 10 on a laptop, so not sure which control panel will have the
setting you are looking for.
