Hormel Foods introduced SPAM on July 5, 1937, as an affordable, shelf-stable way to use surplus pork shoulder. Invention and Origins (1937). The Problem: Pork shoulder was an underperforming and poorly selling cut of meat for butchers during the Great Depression.The Solution: Jay Hormel, president of George A. Hormel & Co. in Austin, Minnesota, developed a canned pork luncheon meat that required no refrigeration and had a long shelf life.The Name: Ken Daigneau won a $100 contest at a New Year's party in 1936 to name the product. The name is widely believed to be a contraction of "spiced ham," though Hormel has kept the exact origin within a tight circle of executives. Original Ingredients: The classic recipe combined pork shoulder, ham, salt, water, sugar, and sodium nitrate.World War II and Global Spread: Ration Staple: During World War II, the U.S. military purchased over 100 million pounds of SPAM to feed Allied troops because fresh meat was heavily rationed or hard to transport.International Impact: Troops shared the canned meat with locals in operational areas, including Great Britain and the Soviet Union (where leaders noted it helped feed the Red Army).Cultural Integration: Military supply lines introduced SPAM to areas like Hawaii, Guam, Okinawa, the Philippines, and South Korea, where it permanently embedded itself into local culinary traditions (such as SPAM musubi).Post-War Legacy and Cultural Impact Milestones: By 1959, the one-billionth can of SPAM was produced, and it passed eight billion cans sold globally by the 2010s.The Monty Python Connection: The famous 1970 Monty Python sketch featuring a restaurant menu where nearly every dish includes SPAM gave birth to the modern term "spam" for unwanted digital messages.Modern Status: Today, Hormel produces dozens of varieties worldwide, making the once-humble depression-era survival food a global cultural icon.

The HP Baker motherboard (SSID: 8767) features a customized proprietary form factor equipped with an Intel H470 chipset and an LGA1200 socket, typically found in HP Pavilion Gaming (TG01) and Pavilion Desktop (TP01) prebuilt PCs. [1, 2, 3, 4] If you are looking to upgrade or add a solid-state drive (SSD) to this specific board, here are the key storage expansion details and options: Supported SSD Formats M.2 NVMe SSD (Recommended): The board features exactly one M.2 Socket 3 (Key M) slot which supports both 2242 and 2280 size form factors. [1] Interface Generation: This M.2 slot operates at PCIe Gen 3 speeds. You can safely buy and install a newer PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD (like a WD Black SN770 or Samsung 970/980 series), but the motherboard will cap its throughput at Gen 3 speeds. [1] SATA SSDs: You can also expand your storage using traditional 2.5-inch SATA SSDs connected via the onboard standard SATA data ports and powered by the HP proprietary power supply cables. [1] Crucial Installation Tips Partition Style: Ensure you install Windows in UEFI mode so the system automatically formats your drive with a GPT partition table. This is critical if you are upgrading to a high-capacity drive (such as 4 TB) so the full volume is recognized. [1, 2] Drive Physical Profile: Stick to a single-notch M.2 NVMe drive. Avoid M.2 drives with large, chunky aftermarket heatsinks as space inside the compact HP Pavilion chassis is highly restricted. [1, 2]

To those that know Johanna her mom passed away today. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Suck it up buttercups for -40 degrees F here in Minnesota.

Did you watch the video by chance?

I am profoundly sad to hear the passing of your Dad. Your family and your father will be in my thoughts and prayers.

XI is an adult clan with no prohibitions on the use of language except for two primary rules: no racist remarks and no personal attacks. You need to check your sensitive feelings at the door when you come here: if you don't like it, don't look at it or don't comment on it. If you believe someone has broken one of our rules, let an admin know, and we will take action as needed. We also do not tolerate cheating or disrespect by members or guests and insist on good sportsmanship. Violations can lead to permanent bans. We play for fun, we play with honor, and we strive to treat each other with respect and consideration. No one, member or guest, is above our Code. We have walked away from this code too many times. I have dealt with the disrespect of many players when I play, and I'm going to state this to you all. You don't want to play on my team, fine. Don't want to hear me, mute me. There is no need to broadcast it through the server. That is considered a personal attack. Second, you are bringing negative feelings into the server. I know that Biggie did say something one time. So, in short, you hate me, fine, but you have a personal issue with me, then pm me and let's resolve it. Stop broadcasting it on the server. I support this clan from day one and will continue to do so. I host a free movie server for the clan with over 5600 movies and shows. Donate like everyone else and do background support to help the admins. We play for fun, we play with honor, and we strive to treat each other with respect and consideration. You need to check your sensitive feelings at the door when you come here, and I have done so for more than 16 years. I do not need to name names, but the players should know who they are. Play on and enjoy the servers.

Thank you for doing this.
