I didn't say that. If I made that impression I didn't intend to. I
removed it by hand about 2 hours back but that u-sd has not been
inserted in the pi yet as I'm also the chief cook and bottle washer here
and it was time I played chef with a bag of beef stir fry to feed the

recycle the dishwasher. :(
