I picked up this parallel to IDE CD-ROM thing off of the free table at VCFSW. I got it to work!! Let's talk about it in a quick 🧵
So, first of all, the drive in it is completely toast. Let's swap it out for another IDE drive. Ahh, that's better! 
So, let's identify this. First, looks like at least one is available for sale on FleaBay. This looks to be a H45 Technology QuickCD 24x. Can we find drivers for it? I did grab a picture of the controller board in case we needed it.

Here is the truth about cholesterol and what reduces risk of heart disease:🧵
Cholesterol is in every cell in your body.
You NEED it for testosterone, vitamin D, estrogen, and brain function.
Yet the hypothesis that LDL cholesterol causes heart disease has been shown FALSE by numerous experiments.
No cause-effect link exists.
Only a weak association.

What actually predicts cardiovascular risk is your TC-to-HDL ratio.
Not your raw LDL number.
A high TC-to-HDL ratio is a surrogate marker for insulin resistance.
The real root of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.
Heart disease is a chronic INFLAMMATORY condition.

Day one of GitHub Copilot token-based billing and the customers LOVE IT! They're all celebrating the power and value of generative AI!
If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all
token-based billing? not a problem. everybody knows the power of AI
Judaism is “hard magic” social engineering rooted in quantum physics rather than alleged spell casting. Its structure and purpose is the practical framework for fabricating “Jewish people” —rituals and laws derived from the Torah and centuries of Talmudic interpretation.
Our mass consciousness shifted. The larger sacred geometry now active in the cosmos, the Star of David pattern intact this week, receives recognition, in one way or another, activating what had previously existed as a Jewish secret, inviting everybody into a direct experience.
In the twelfth century, Moses Maimonides wrote the most important of all codes of Jewish law, the Mishneh Torah. He made a conscious political decision and eliminated the debates and recorded only the final law. The Mishneh Torah is thus the Talmud with the arguments edited out.
1/Having trouble remembering how to differentiate dementias on imaging?
Is looking at dementia PET scans one of your PET peeves?
Here’s a thread to show you how to remember the imaging findings in dementia & never forget!

2/The most common functional imaging used in dementia is FDG PET. And the most common dementia is Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
On PET, AD demonstrates a typical Nike swoosh pattern—with decreased metabolism in the parietal & temporal regions

3/The swoosh rapidly tapers anteriorly—& so does hypometabolism in AD in the temporal lobe. It usually spares the anterior temporal poles.
So in AD look for a rapidly tapering Nike swoosh, w/hypometabolism in the parietal/temporal regions—sparing the anterior temporal pole

Evil is not new. At some point in the ageless past where perfect harmony once existed — Lucifer rebelled against God.
It wasn’t enough for him that he dwelt in heaven with the LORD God as the anointed cherub.

Greg Ip has a good track record of zeroing in on the key point. The profit share of GDP is rising, he notes, but the wage share is declining. This is a problem, because, as Marriner Eccles explained in the 1930s, it is overall wage growth that sustains production growth.

If the US were running a trade surplus, it would be net foreign demand that balances the gap between the two. The fact that it is instead running a trade deficit suggests that domestic demand is being propped up by rising fiscal and household debt.

I was reading an article in Hindustan Times about the Thane Ring Metro project, and it unintentionally highlighted how weak and underprepared much of the opposition to the project actually is. Many of the arguments being put forward reveal a limited understanding of urban planning, transit capacity, and the long-term mobility needs of a rapidly growing city.
A recurring claim is that the Thane Ring Metro is a colossal waste of public money. Yet very little attention is paid to what Thane is expected to look like over the next 50–70 years.
The city is already witnessing significant residential and commercial growth, and its transport infrastructure must be planned not just for present demand but for future demand as well. Judging a metro project solely on today's travel patterns ignores the realities of urban expansion.
One of the most common alternatives suggested by critics is a larger bus network. However, buses and metros are not interchangeable. Even a substantial increase in bus fleet size cannot match the capacity, speed, reliability, and efficiency of a grade-separated metro system.
Buses remain an important part of urban mobility, but in high-density cities they function best as feeders to a larger rapid transit network rather than as its replacement.
Some opponents also argue that roads, freeways, and projects such as the Coastal Road can adequately serve future travel demand. This raises a fundamental question: should Thane aspire to become a car-dependent suburb, or should it evolve into a transit-oriented city?
Mumbai's success as a major urban centre is deeply linked to its extensive public transport network. Building Thane around private vehicle usage would create a mismatch with the broader metropolitan region and ultimately weaken connectivity rather than strengthen it.

Protestors often point out that the Ring Metro passes through dense neighbourhoods. In reality, that is precisely the point of the whole project.
High-capacity transit is most effective when it serves areas where people actually live and work. High-density development without high-capacity mass rapid transit systems inevitably leads to higher car ownership, more congestion, increased road expansion costs, and greater safety risks.
One question to by asked to these protestors is:-
"What is the solid plan that you have for the city, the growing needs of people, the under-capacity bus systems, and for the diginified transport for people of Thane?"

There is also criticism regarding transparency and public consultation. Constructive public engagement is important and should always be encouraged. However, some demands being made are for information that is already publicly available through project documentation and official project resources.
Consultation should focus on improving implementation, station access, environmental mitigation, and multimodal integration rather than attempting to derail a project altogether.
The argument that the project overlaps with Metro Lines 4 and 5 also misunderstands how metro systems function. Interchanges are not redundancies; they are essential features of successful transit networks. Every major metro system in the world relies on overlapping corridors and transfer points to expand the reach of the network. The Ring Metro's intersections with Lines 4 and 5 are intended to create seamless connectivity, strengthen feeder relationships, and improve access to railway stations, bus depots, and key destinations across the city.
The Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar line when forming an essential interchange at Central Railways Ghatkopar, Mumbai Metro Aqua Line at Marol Naka, Western Railways at Andheri, Mumbai Metro Red Line at Western Express Highway, Mumbai Metro Yellow Line at DN Nagar doesn't create redundancies for some reason. But metro protestors expect the opposite in Thane for some reason, as if Thanekars are not used-to travelling via these modes of transport.
Another criticism quoted in the article is that the project resembles a "roller coaster" and fails to address connectivity gaps. However, the very purpose of the Ring Metro is to address Thane's internal connectivity gaps, the same which the protestors absolutely ignore to see because it does not serve their agenda to derail the project.
Thane is not a small town that can be adequately served by a single metro corridor. It is a large and growing urban centre with multiple residential and employment hubs. A circular route connecting different parts of the city provides mobility options that a single radial line never could.

This morning in Khallet al Hummus:
Soldiers arrived on privately owned Palestinian land following a settler incursion, then confiscated sacks of wheat harvested by the landowners, tore them open, scattered the grain, and threatened the residents.

Less than a year has passed since the prosecution filed an indictment against Shem Tov Luski, who was suspected of trespassing, assault causing bodily harm, and aggravated injury. The incident described took place very close to Khallet al Hummus
yet this does not prevent soldiers from assisting him as he trespasses. The soldiers even borrowed a knife he carries while trespassing and used it to destroy Palestinian grain sacks.
has anyone done a detailed analysis of Quantum Zionism as an overall PR strategy? Israel is both an abstract moral ideal and a state in urgent need of F-35s. It's a democracy but an explicit ethnosupremacist state, it's interchangeable with Jewish identity, then it isn't.
this march had a who's who of genocidal freaks and open racists leading the pack, self-ID'd fascists who are PRESENTLY IN THE GOVT. If you are marching along side them you are not marching along side an abstract ideal, you are marching along side war criminals.
If pro-Israel liberals oppose these open racists and reactionaries then why not boycott the march until they are purged form it? Why just shrug and quibble afterwards with No True Scots Man handwaving? Between chauvinist solidarity and liberalism they repeatedly choose the former
America wants a weak China AND a weak India.
