    2. What Does based Mean? | Slang by Dictionary.com
      from Everything After Z by Dictionary.com
      Based is a slang term that originally meant to be addicted to crack cocaine (or acting like you were), but was reclaimed by rapper Lil B for being yourself and not caring what others think of you—to carry yourself with swagger.

    1. Monte Cristo Sandwich
      from Allrecipes
      A quick and easy sandwich with ham, turkey and swiss slices, dipped in an egg/milk mixture and fried to a golden brown. A hot alternative to the usual lunch or snack. Try it with berry jam on the side.

    Interesting conversation about Western Digital "Red" HDDs for #NAS devices https://freeradical.zone/@tek/104037571132363249 ... he links to [1] in the OP.

    "Western Digital, Seagate and Toshiba have begun selling SMR drives without labeling them as such, thus revealing a large controversy, as SMR drives are much slower in some circumstances than PMR drives.[9] These practices were used to be in both data storage-dedicated (for servers, NASes and cold storage) and consumer-centric HDDs." [2]

    Also, #TIL: SMR (Shingled magnetic recording) [3], PMR (Perpendicular magnetic recording) .

    The OP explains why this is an issue in [4] and [5] and [9].

    Also, #TIL (Today I learned) the terms: LMR (longitudinal magnetic recording [6], and PMR (Perpendicular magnetic recording) [7] ... I already knew generally about both processes, but did not have specialized terminology for them. (CMR [8] is a rename of PMR.)

    All the NAS units I've purchased (possibly excepting #sonOne's, since I did not buy drives for him) also got WD Red NAS drives. Possibly they were older PMR/CMR drives, but since WD did not properly label their products, I do not know.

    #TIL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphonophorae and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planaria

    "Although a siphonophore may appear to be a single organism, each specimen is in fact a colonial organism composed of small individual animals called zooids that have their own special function for survival. Most colonies are long, thin, transparent floaters living in the pelagic zone. Some siphonophores, such as the venomous Portuguese man o' war and the Indo-Pacific man o' war, superficially resemble jellyfish."

    And

    "Planaria is a genus of planarians in the family Planariidae. It is currently represented by a single species, Planaria torva,[1] which is found in Europe.[2] When an individual is cut into pieces, each piece has the ability to regenerate into a fully formed individual.[3]"
