Tonight I finally got my PC working, for some reason I have not figured out both the power supply AND the power switch had to be replaced. Luckily my fiancee had a old unused computer that had the parts I needed.

But I managed to break the SATA connector on my main hard drive that had Win7 on it. The plastic from the drive itself was broken off in the SATA connector. It looked terrible.

I managed to pry out the plastic from the cable, flatten out the connectors on the drive, and using my model building magnification glasses, some modeling tools, superglue and masking tape, reattached the plastic guide piece to the drive, bent the connectors just enough to stay in their tracks, and managed to get the thing working again.

SATA connectors are smaller and cheaper that IDE but they sure are not meant for the real world.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      Nobody on the huddle is saying we have an elite group offensively across the board. They aren't great. They're young. If you are expecting someone to agree with your position of blaming everyone around Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career you are going to be left holding the bag save for a handful of people who act like they are paid to defend his honor. Bryce Young is not a guy who has had to claw and fight his way into starting jobs in football. He's had the best to work with and been gifted roles since he was a teenager. The Panthers have one of the youngest rosters in the league and with us needing an infusion of young defensive talent in the upcoming draft we're only going to get younger. We need a QB who possesses the ability to elevate those around him. If you can't agree with me on that then there's nothing further to discuss.

      All Bryce and the Panthers had to do was split with the Saints and a rookie QB. The bar was so low. They even had a whole bye week to prepare. The time for singing kumbaya was before that game. Anyone still talking about Bryce earning a second contract 43 games into his career is living a fantasy. He might get one from the Tepper owned Panthers but he's damn sure not earned it.
