Well, that sucks. Use two seperate drives for each? Bench partition only needs a crappy 60GB SSD surely?

my longest relationship was 4 or 5years, possibly bordering even close to 6years i think... more than a decade on and im still a little bitter about it though I dont care even half as much about it anymore.

The worst part was it was a massive weight off m shoulders.
She came and said to me "im uposet and you're practically looking happy" all I could do was s,ile and hold in my elation

Either way, game of thrones holds far too many truthful words than id care to admit.

Well, i would have put an end to it sooner if i felt that things werent going the right way they should - have a talk about it with her and both agree to call it a day rather then sit and wait for an excuse or one of you to make a move first - thats just me though. I hate dragging on relationships that really dont seem to be getting anywhere.

Fortunately I have shit all luck with women so i dont have to give many fucks at all about it. There hasnt been many girls that I clicked with apart from the one of 5years but then again i dont exactly go out looking for company.

Im a solitary beast at best. I wouldnt say no to a little company though but its not a necessity.

As for Crossfaith - those guys have some pretty heavy breakdowns. They have a new album coming out very soon but from the few samples ive managed to hear, it seems they might have changed their sound and im not such a fan of it which is sad as Im completely obsessed with their first album and EPs

Me too,, i enjoy my own time far too much, i like no company personally, but my family believes the total opposite is REQUIRED for me to live like a human.

Yeah, those guys are insanely good for asians, randomly decided to listen to them. Also bought 3 albums from dubmood yesterday, they're pretty awesome.

Theres a band called 'ARTEMA' who are very similar to Crossfaith - they use a little autotune with some trance and dubstep samples here and there. Sing with mixed english and japanese vocals and incorporate clean vocals to go with the heavy so it adds a little more flavor dynamically

I dont care too much for the lyrics but music is a universal language that I understand (look at me going all hipster!)

Using GParted or whatever you can expand an existing partition with an empty unpartitioned space, its pretty easy.

Oh we still do plenty of that, it's the other shit in between I don't much care for :twitch: :laugh:

Fraid not, though it was depressing enough for two grown men to go into an entirely empty unfurnished flat (even the water mains werent turned on) and drink two bottles of wine while reminiscing about the past and complaining about the damn kids outside the window on their scooters.

thanks guys!

54th said id get the case at the latest next friday, so im preparing everything. A few bits have slowly arrived, got some thicker tubing, need to get some distilled water and biocide though.

Its easy to talk about "stuff" just reply with magnolia, or if you feel ballsy, tell her the dress doesnt make her look fat, the fact shes fat makes her look fat.

*****

In other more exciting news, I have to go through all of these old HDD's and secure erase them individually using the Parted Magic Secure erase firmware command. Some of them are inevitably locked by security BIOS services, so sometimes i even have to put in some effort. Shouldnt take me too long, should it?
