    You don't have automatic backup to a drive on your network?

    Also, backing up scripts is a few MBs at most.

    I fostered this carolina dog who apparently loved eating odd things from the trash can but we didn't realize for awhile. She was stealth. One day, standing at the airport, just chatting up some old dudes who donate $$$, and Izzie runs up and pops a squat. No biggie, it's dog friendly, I have dog poop baggies in my dress pockets. Except then I realize she is not pooping per se, she is popping out condom after condom after condom, that she apparently stole from the trash can and ate.

    I'm trying to get Matt to notice so that I can clean it up before anyone else notices, and he's just getting annoyed that I keep poking him in the side. Finally, he realizes, immediately gags, and then starts shuffling the people away to go check something out in the hangar.

    We got a different trash can after that. Not to be outmanuevered, she figures out how to open it, because nobody was keeping her from those sweet sweet rubbery treats. And it's not like we never took out the trash, she was just obsessed.

    So, pretty much smash cut to the day it gets stuck on the way out, and I'm chasing around a dog, in an apartment complex, who is easily 70 pounds and much faster than me, trying to pull a used item out of her butt because dude, it's not coming out on its own at this point, while yelling, "I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU! JUST LET ME HELP YOUUUUUU!"

    We uh, we had to just dispose of things outside of the apartment after that.

    Dogs are weird.

    Could not be further from the truth.

    But I learned how to fluff the crap out of papers because of minimum length requirements and, for better or worse, that kind of writing style doesn't go away.

    Constant network activity is one of the major offenders when it comes to real-time DPC latency tho.

    Having taken your previous statement into consideration, I have come to the conclusion that you are right. When we examine all of the facts available to us, we find that fluffing a paper with generic terms does indeed bloat the character and word count. For example, giving examples is a great way to extend the length of a paper. You can see in this case, I have given an example of an example, and therefore minimized the amount of original thought that my brain must generate by itself.

    In conclusion, when the original author of the preceding post made the statement, "I learned how to fluff the crap out of papers", he is indeed speaking from a place of experience, and therefore should be considered a reliable source in the matter.

    Anyone who was in medicine, science or engineering and had to get through their basic liberal classes in college can fluff.
    Reminded me of Mostly Garbage Dog Food.

    You don't have to back up your main computer. You can backup to another computer and have that backup to backblaze.


    Also backblaze can be set to only run during certain hours or only a certain amount of gigs per a day ect

    That was me. We were poor and people didn't really go to college in our family at the time. The only way I was going to college and getting out of that shitty cycle of alcoholism, jail, and child abandonment was by being annoyingly over achieving. I have a super smart dad, but he couldn't go to college because he had been suspended 8 times in 2 years during high school for real fun stuff like knife fights. He drank all the time like his parents before him, and hated his life.
