dd: disk destroyer

Always lsblk before dd. The order of /sdX might change from boot to boot. Only /nvme doesn't change.
- Why is this?
  
  It's a design thing. BIOS can know NVMe disks' location because they're directly mounted to PCIe. SATA isn't like this. Similar logic with the RAM slots.
- First thing I do after loading the liveusb is write the "mylsblk" which does the much more sane thing of:
  bash
  
  lsblk -o NAME,LABEL,PARTLABEL,UUID,SIZE,MOUNTPOINTS
