His orange spray tan is obviously concealing gang tattoos, so this seems like an easy ask.

How about trying to entice insects into killing a group of little people so I can steal their valuables and make magical maple syrup

Wow, hilarious. That would certainly explain why he looks the same then, lol. I’m going to have to go look up the episode now.

Wow, he doesn't look that different than I remember him! What is this from?

Very much so. That subreddit is great for getting a pulse on the sorts of common cons people are up to that aren’t tech-driven enough to show up in other media.

Looks like a “muse” scam. Search the subreddit /r/Scams for similar examples

Not sure if we're looking at a shopping list, a list of things to prepare, or something in the middle but I think it's hilarious you're leading with vino in all cases, lol

I'd probably still avoid RAID 5 regardless and go for 6 if at all possible because I hate making a rebuild more complicated than I have to. Much better to just swap a new disk in and let it do its thing and not worry about it failing. Great advice w/ testing the rebuild, I always do that also.

At that point, however, if your plan is to always just rely on restoring from backup whenever a disk fails, you might as well just do a RAID 0 and not take the performance hit. I personally tend to prefer RAID 6 if I'm trying to maximize storage space and RAID 10 if I care about write speeds

With RAID 5, the whole thing will probably hobble along, but when you add the replacement disk and attempt to rebuild, you'll almost always ultimately end up nuking the whole thing and restoring from backup, which is messy but OK if you know what you're signing up for.

Not familiar with SHR, but what you're gaining with using RAID 6 over RAID 5 (assuming the disks in your RAID are over 1 TB) is that you're increasing the likelihood you can rebuild your RAID drive should a single drive fail instead of having to rebuild the whole thing from scratch.

Toaster oven is where it's at. K & I usually stick our reheated pizza on parchment paper and then just "toast" for like ~5 minutes and it comes out perfect.
