You'd think we were in idaho will all of this riviting potato talk. :ROFLMAO:
my son-in-law loves potatoes, so much so he usually sets up a couple hundred bags to grow every year. he grows them in bags as they have excellent drainage...it does rain an awfully lot in PR. anyhow, last year's harvest I think he said he pulled out somewhere between 400 - 600lbs. he also grows a lot of different varieties, especially if he's not had them before. he built a big wood box out of lumber (rat proof!) that's probably a bit more than 1m cubed and it's got so many potatoes left and I curse most of them as they're smaller than fingerlings. doesn't take long to peel one, but they're bloody fiddly and it does take a lot longer to peel enough to eat. :p

My brother married the daughter of a Potato Farmer. They live on the farm in Westham Island in Delta. If you bring up potatos to his father in law you will not be able to end that conversation.

Picked up a Corsair RM750x to replace a PSU I had to give my oldest when his died Monday. I was pleasantly surprised to see individually sleeved cables, but the 12-pin HPWR cable is obviously an afterthought as the sleeving is visibly different than the rest of the cables. It's not visible in this build fortunately but might be an issue later.
