      camelcamelcamel is a shining example of why you never use raid alone in a mission critical deployment.

        I would have just assumed that all of CCC just ran somewhere cloudy anyway, AWS would have been particularly fitting.

        Would love to see him perform live. His latest album "re:member" is excellent (as is pretty much all his stuff tbh).

        Yes, I too have remember, the entire concert was that plus more. The live performance was way more engaging for me, but I have the cd to "re-member"

      Jackfruit Tacos, what a sick vegan joke. Not even close to pork even with tons of sauce, just give me beans already!

        Yeah, true enough. Dunno if it's retail, but find some Impossible ground "meat" or at a burger place. Amazing that it tastes like meat, purely vegan though.

        Recently discovered it myself. impossiblefoods.com (no affiliation)

        yes, beans are vegan, why play with plants to make it look and "taste" like meat. Tried "beyond meat", and heard "impossible" is even better, but what is the point when these burgs have as much sat fat as cow, just eat cow! I am doing this for health, fyi.

        The 2019 Impossible (limited release now, wide in March) has 30% less saturated fat that the old recipe.

        Our whole family went pescatarian 1.5 years ago for health reasons (and American food distribution reasons). 9yo's migraines disappeared. 14yo's autistic behaviors improved. And the wife & I feel so much better.

      Hey Drummers? Are Vinnie Colaiuta cymbals on Jeff Beck Live at Ronnie Scots supposed to be rather splashy sounding rather than more brassy?

        When was it recorded? Vinnie was a die hard zildjian A guy if I remember correctly, but recently moved to Paiste and plays the 602 modern essentials line. If he was playing brilliant A's, they could be a bit splashy, but if it was the modern essentials, they would be a bit darker.

        Sears Canada went under last year. Retirees and those near retirement got screwed out of their pensions while execs and board members made millions. Sickening.

        I remember the time when NCR changed its name (because it hadn't made cash registers in a while) to something nobody was going to remember. It changed back, but... nobody remembers them at all now. Maybe they became a burger company?
