Hard drive recovery
Yesterday I noticed that one of my drives was acting up, it responded very slowly. It isn't my main drive and there was very little data on there, so I wasn't immediately worried, but I did copy some of the most important data to a different drive, just in case. I saved 2 folders and was copying a third, and that was when it stopped responding entirely.
I ran lsblk and it listed the device (/dev/sda), but no partitions (used to be sda1) and also no available space on the drive. That was when I figured I was in trouble and shut off the pc. I haven't turned it back on yet, will probably disconnect it physically first.
There is still some data on there that I would like to recover, but it's not really worth paying for professional recovery. Is there anything I can do? Even if it's a single-shot rescue mission and I trash the drive afterwards.
Please help, haven't slept in three days
This fat bastard is haunting my dreams and the witch in the woods told me the only way to ever sleep soundly again is by taking her out of my dreams and into my arms. Where do I find this little shit? Any legit sites selling cute (knock-off) baguette-eating demons?

Lemmy.zip is down and probably took DailyGameBot down with it, so here is a fleshy human doing a machine's work.
Edit: Argh, this community is on lemmy.zip, so you'll probably only see this when the bot is back up (^_^')
Anime with alternate orders
I'm interested to hear about anime that give a different experience when putting the episodes in a different order. They can be official orders (broadcast vs dvd) or fan orders (moving arcs around, putting seasons in chronological vs release order). Maybe you can even think of examples where a companion movie is inserted in the middle of a season? Two separate projects by the same author or studio that can be weaved together to form a consistent whole?
Who put this guy in charge
Have to add that we work exclusively in strongly-typed languages. Kinda want to see how it plays out, but I can't help but argue with him, so I think I'll just go.
You fool! I'm holding back because I pity you!
Getting +18 mult from Ride the Bus, +24 mult from Blueprint (looking at Erosion), +24 mult from Erosion, x1.5 mult from holographic Scholar and another x1.5 mult from a copied holographic Scholar for a total of nearly 19000 points. If I play an ace, it's not even that much more, only 8 mult from the Scholars? Trying to whittle my deck down to only aces so I can play four of a kind, but even then most of the mult will be Erosion.
