I’ve extracted this ssd from a dell pc that has become ill. According to the original invoice it is "M.2 1TB PCIe NVMe Class 40 Solid State Drive"
what connector is it? how to connect to another PC? the internet seems to think that this is just a little caddy and can unscrew it to get the real ssd?

approximately 22 years ago I put “bring back the shilling” as a livejournal interest, to take the piss out of a certain sort of bell-end. (!)
Dan wasn't even born before decimalisation (nor was he anywhere near the UK when he was born) but still he yearns for Britain's pre-decimal times 55 years later.

The only route to accepting Mandelson or Andrew's "silly me!" version of events, is to believe that they only ever exhanged sensitive information or access in exhange for cash or favours or sex to one man, and by sheer dint of bad luck it was the one man on Earth whose emails everyone gets to read.

I'm not being facetious. Epstein was apparently giving talking points to the people pushing anti trans rhetoric in the UK.

this. “no I was just in the bath naked with my new nanny hire but it’s ok I swear!” - which appears to have been the line taken last time round - is not actually ok.
Past that, to my mind there's very little refutation to be done here. Even if you disbelieve the more salacious details, you've still got a long term pattern of Gaiman adding a BDSM dynamic with poor to nonexistent safety measures to relationships that already have massive power imbalances.

I have scrolled through and read the Substack and it’s a sad little pitiful insubstantial ramble of a post. It’s been a year and that’s really the best link you can make? Fuck back off to where we’d fucked you off to before.

very very easy to get rid of him from the privy council toot sweet, as I understand it. king, with advice, just needs to send out a memo (or a proclamation or whatever the fancy word is)

old American joke. man goes to sports bar every day at opening. sits down, has some water & watches a minute of sport. leaves. eventually bar manger asks him why he’s doing this. “I want to see a breaking news piece.” “But they don’t show breaking news on this sports channel.” “This one they will.”

I was recently on a train opposite a man and he started a call on his phone, just at about the same time as I got one.
Much to my surprise he started telling one of my anecdotes. So I started telling my anecdote to my friend.
One by one, sentence by sentence, we repeated the story about eating…

In April 1976, in a café at Cambridge railway station, Douglas Adams bought some biscuits. We know this because he told the story so many times that it somehow opened up a wormhole in the space-time continuum, travelling both forwards and backwards and, intriguingly, sideways in time. (1/some...)

remember this guy went with “I didn’t know everyone I’m in a photo with at a party”
So if I’m understanding this sequence correctly, from Thanksgiving to Christmas 2012, Elon Musk was essentially pestering registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to throw him a wild party on the island.

Shock as bar added then removed from Ilkeston's 'NatWest hole'
Mock reviews had seen the hole ranked as a town's top attraction before the bar was added.

I also get the impression that every Road to Damascus op-ed is less about "turns out the leftists were correct after all" and more "here is why you should continue to listen to me even though I was wrong, and continue not listening to them even though they were correct"

just starting F1, and I don't understand why they've put the Top of the Pops theme tune over the opening scene rather then Grand Prix theme tune. confusing.
