Las Quatro Milpas, located in Barrio Logan in San Diego, CA, US has the best rice and beans (w/chorizo) in addition to homemade tortillas. Always a line, and it is cash only.

So I am backing up my giiinnnaaa-(thanks orange blight) made Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 1** **laptop photos folder onto an T7Shield external SSD drive and the backup is going dead slow (22MB/sec or so) given an SSD and USB3 (or so I thought) connection.

I switched the USB cable to the other USB port and reran the backup and got >113MB average throughput. Neither laptop USB port is marked blue.

This really pisses me off. How much fucking time have I been wasting routing USB traffic through what appears a USB2 port?

First one that recommends switching to a Mac gets shot the death glare. Yes, I am thinking about that now but really don't want to go that route with a new laptop given my desire for next laptop to have a least a basic series 4 GPU so I can run Fallout '76 (if people are still playing that)

OK, I'm done grousing. At least I have a faster alternative now.

I had to crop this down quite a bit which made me sad, but I do like the contrast between the gravel and the sky.
