Always a challenge for those of us that aren't able to be here all day. It's hard to follow everything going on. I feel so far behind.

Laura's Grandma is on her last leg. It doesn't seem like she has much time left. We visited with her tonight after receiving the news.

Always sad, even if someone is elderly. At least the family has some time to prepare.

What do you need it to do?
Backup'd some VM's off a host before I started moving hosts around and want to do a test restore but one is near 1tb is size so was going to make a "test ESXi host" from a PC and store to but need a raid card to raid 2-3 1tb drives to have a big enough datastore to recover all the VM in one go.
I've got a few cards but none have a bios to present the raid to ESXi only cards that need installing on windows/linux

On way to hospital with the wife for her injections in her back hopefully help with her pain.

So you need a RAID card

Can't decide if I want to keep working or need to stop and playing a video game or just give up and go to bed.

Planning on doing a system update here in just a few.

Going down for the update.

Damnit, I just updated to 1.5.1 on two systems yesterday.

Well they were way behind, because I was lazy after having errors when I first tried 1.5.0.

Common pattern, but I'm never clear how to explain what this is. It's "asking a crazy question" and being upset that no one has an answer. But it's because the question is so crazy and unpredictable.
Imagine if I asked "does this fridge support bananas? I looked it up on their website and it doesn't list bananas as getting cold in here anywhere, how am I supposed to know if this fridge is compatible with bananas." How dumb would that be? But so many IT questions are like that - demanding answers to nonsensical questions or wanting information in a form or from a person that isn't applicable.
I see this on SW all the time, but I need a term or something for it. I'm very clear how to describe or tackle this problem. But like in this case, this person is all frustrated yet it never occurs to them that no vendor has ever provided this kind of info. They are looking for info that no one else has ever needed, yet feel it is important. They never realize that the reason no answer exists might be because the question makes no sense.

They realized immediately that the question was nutty once I pointed it out, though. Which is good. Everyone has those moments. But what are those moments called?

Overthinking it is not quite what it is. But may be related.
