How to find/format second hard drive after install?
I recently made the jump on installing Linux/Pop OS on my main streaming and gaming laptop for the first time. The laptop has two hard drives, with linux being installed on the smaller SSD. I’ve backed up all of my data before the install, so that’s not a worry. I’m just interested in having access to the 1TB HD. Thank you in advance!
YSK Tips for a Winter Storm
A lot of people are about to be hit with a big winter storm who are not used to this kind of weather. Here are some tips from a Minnesotan: Keeping warm: * avoid cotton fabrics. * Use layers, take them off if you start to sweat. * I like tight gloves with thick mittens, which allows use of your hands sometimes without skin exposure. * A face mask works as a scarf or another layer in a pinch * Warm up your home in case you lose power. Power outages may happen after the snow/freezing rain stops Snow removal: * Lift with your legs, not your back. * Don’t save all of the shoveling for the very end of the storm, it’ll be more difficult and will start to create an ice layer (especially where walked on) * if you have a car, lift up the windshield wipers before it starts snowing/freezing rain * Completely clean your car soon after the storm. In most places, it’s illegal to drive with a lot of snow/ice on your car and super dangerous. * If you’re parked on a street, move the car to a plowed area when possible so they can plow where you were parked * If you have a driveway, clear off part of the street in the direction the plow will come from, so that doesn’t end up blocking your driveway Driving * stay home until streets are plowed if possible (thank you healthcare workers and emergency responders!) * Turn on ABS brake and traction control settings, if available * accelerate and take turns slowly * Have more time/distance to brake * Speed up before going up an incline, getting stuck and sliding back down is not fun Sliding on ice: * If walking, keep your feet underneath your center of gravity * If driving, switch to neutral and steer in the direction that the back of the car is sliding, but don’t overreact on steering. Slamming brakes will make sliding worse. Car stuck in snow: * turn off traction control * don’t just let the tires spin out * try shoveling, sand/kitty litter, and rocking back and forth * Once you get moving again, don’t stop
YSK tricks for one of the cheapest meals: beans and rice
I’m sad that this is worth mentioning. But if you are dealing with hunger amid threats to SNAP benefits, rice and beans are very cheap per meal and can be bought in bulk. Here’s some tricks I’ve learned: If you get dried beans, make sure you follow the directions to pre-soak them. Canned beans are easier to prepare, just dump in near the end of cooking to heat them up. Dried lentils don’t need to be pre-soaked, but I prefer to cook them separately and drain the water they boil in. Brown rice, barley, or other whole grains have much more protein than white rice and I find them more filling. Whole grains take longer to cook than white grains. Frying diced onions in the pot before adding the grains and water is an easy way to kick the flavor up a notch. Use a generous amount of cooking oil (light olive oil is healthiest) for cost effective calories and help making the meal more filling. Big carrots or celery in bulk are pretty cheap too. I like to dice carrots by partially cutting length wise into quarters, but leave the small end intact to keep the carrot together to make it easier to dice down the side. Add them to the same pot as the grains after the grains start to soften. Get some bulk garlic powder, paprika, cumin, crushed red pepper, black pepper, etc. Season and salt the pot to taste. You’ll only need 1-2 pots and a cutting knife/board for veggies.
