I'm raging at Bodum. How do you take a perfectly good 1 liter beaker with a plunger and screw it up? Add useless plastic! WTF!?! GARBAGE!
Is the actual plunger plastic or just the outside?
Just the knob on top, the lid/pour spout filter

Been on calls all morning.

About to head home, pollen is making it feel like someone is driving a large spike into my head.

Nothing says "Wake up! Wake up!" like thousands of tiny droplets of water that feel like they are just barely out of the freezer pelting you from the shoulders down.

Uhm - that is a curious image... What would cause that?

How did that happen?
-
Using Excel to look at past storage needs and trying to make some reasonable projections for future needs.

It was raining faster than my umbrella could deflect the water, lol. We're under flash flood watches at the moment too.

As long as he can change the rain to gone, or make it wait until about 10pm, lol.

Realizing trying to make "reasonable" forecasts of how much storage will be needed for our office server will not be an exercise in precision.
-
And right after typing the above and reading a ML post about upgrading a domain , the prudent solution smacks me in the face after saying "duh." Spend $180, turn the RAID 5 into a RAID 10, then look for a real solution for storage.

$0.02
Been pretty happy with our synology units - there's a lot of options depending on your needs.

Yeah. We have two. The one in the local office will now be used for backups, rather than for storage for VHDs that our local VMs use. The one at the data center will be sold to recover a little of the cost from when it was bought before I was hired, as that data was moved to local storage with enterprise-class hard drives. The local office Synology will still be using WD-Reds, but I'm not as concerned since the role of that device is changing.

Not sure I'd host a VM on them but I have to say for file storage and all our backup requirements + the cloud software - they are good value and work pretty darn well
-
@MattSpeller VHDs for the VMs were on the Raid 5. What was on the Synology was originally a pass-through disk (iSCSI) acting as a storage drive for one of the VMs. Forgive me if I was unclear.

Doing some much needed reading about storage.
