My impression is that the WD Black has better rounded performance and firmware, but it also would likely cost a little more, and I'm just not sure that's worth it.
Some of my SSDs are WD Black. No failures, great performance. Also good are the Samsung EVOs.

I was looking up Mormon underwear for a response to a thread and I typed in moron underwear by mistake. Mormon underwear still came up at the top of the list in the search results though. Seems about right

Sitting here at my desk at work in a mildly stunned state, because things are actually working out. About to go live with one project that's been on hold since late July, I figured out a simpler way to classify things, and my inbox count is going down instead of up.

Just paid a plumber to snake out the main drain. There are some jobs I'm just not going to do any more, and that is one of them.

Dinking around on the forum on my phone. I didn't do anything productive this morning or yesterday, so the afternoon I'll have to get busy.

Ugh. My neighbor is forever doing something to his yard LOUDLY. Using power tools all day long, tearing down his fence, putting up a new one, working on pieces of the fence, which requires him to peer into my backyard for several hours. Anyway, it's been worse with Covid, since he now has shitloads of free time on his hands. I have a lemon tree in my backyard and I feel like sitting out there in a lawn chair and pelting him with lemons Also, guess what, your yard still looks like shit.

Having a beer. Schell's Deer Brand. It's nice. Straight-up pilsner, without as much harshness as a lot of American pilsners.

I did some meatloaf in the crockpot, because I had extra BBQ sauce from earlier crockpotting some boneless pork ribs. The meatloaf was composed otherwise of ground turkey, Worcs. sauce, soy sauce, the last of my garam masala, cajun seasoning, egg white, Ritz crackers and panko bread crumbs. This'll be good tomorrow as a meatloaf sub, but it is completely loose. Last time I crockpot meatloaf. I like doing meatloaf right.

Bought a new shop vac with nifty crevice attachments. I'm finding all kinds of places to suck that I've never sucked before.

Hanging out in haystacks looking for tiny needles yet again. I saw Irrational Man recently on the web, perhaps thinking it was another movie. The movie I was thinking of starred some guy that looked vaguely like Seth Rogen but was definitely not him. He was a college professor in Illinois (maybe U of I or ISU). Wore glasses and a bandana in the hair, I think. This movie I could swear was based closely on a real guy, and he eventually retired east of LA and died.
I really need to stay away from hay.

I did the same thing right after I had a central vacuum cleaning system installed. I spent most of that week cleaning the cellar. I even sucked all the yellowjackets out of a nest they had made under the siding on my house.
