The Roundtable / Re: Success cloning SATA to NVME
« Last post by lee n. field on Today at 11:12:16 AM »
I need to do this for any solid state drive regardless of form factor, or does it only apply to M.2 drives?

Brad

does not apply to SATA SSDs

Judge Instructs Jurors They Need Not Believe Trump Is Guilty To Convict Him

I mean, that's pretty much what the judge said.

On the Hollywood front (not that we should care, but I found this interesting for Hollywood, in contrast to Robert DeNero, I just saw an interview with Dennis Quaid who said he's voting for Trump specifically because of what they're doing to Trump. He said that Trump is the most investigated person in the history of the US, and I'm not even sure that's hyperbole at this point.

I saw an interview with Butigeig discussing this, and the host was giving him a little bit of a hard time over the lack of progress.  I would have paid good money to see someone ask the SECTRANS if they had consulted with Tesla, as Elon seems to be able to build chargers pretty quick.

Elon thinks men can't breast feed babies and this admin doesn't like dealing with extreme far right wing crazies. Wish I was making a joke.

The aggressively "up-to-date" building i worked in until 2010 had charging stations in the basement parking area.  Also, I recently noticed the "7-11" (not sure of the company) nearby had charging stations behind the gas and diesel pumps.

They were set apart a little, but there they were.  Did not check on costs due to lack of real interest, but I would assume the pricing would be more than one's household electric costs.

Of possible interest and value:

It's been a while (1950s-1960s) since I've even seen any salt water, but I seem to recall that individual salt water fishing in the Atlantic was unregulated unless it was commercial.  But that was California, where I would expect just breathing the air would require licensing and regulation.

Terry, 230RN

Correction:  I went back to NY for my mother's funeral in 1982 and two of my nieces and I took a walk along Jones Beach on the south shore of Long Island.

I think that is no longer the case pretty much anywhere on the Atlantic Seaboard.  I know FL Requires a Saltwater License for fishing.  From a quick Google it looks like NY requires you to register (for free at least) for fish in saltwater, but you need a license for other marine life.  State Waters extend out to 9 NM from Mean Low Water, and past that you are in the Federal Exclusive Economic Zone.  I have no idea if there are recreational fishing regs for that zone, but there definitely are commercial ones.
