  1. Still wondering why Bill stays in that neighborhood... Summer season: Hot with lots of falling rain and flooding water! Winter season: Freezing with lots of snow and frozen water! Is the only reason you're still there due to the fact that the roads are never "dry" enough to drive??! Yikes! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
  2. A LONG time ago, there was a poster available...
  3. Whatever floats your boat! (Or goat.) ๐Ÿ˜ I wonder, do you think she flits and flutters too?
  4. Still, that's no excuse for not stopping by and saying "Hi!" ๐Ÿ˜•
  5. My main song writing motivation died a few decades ago when I saved all of my work on a new media that was supposed to be "Safe for 30 years!" It was Panasonic's Phase Digitals (PD's). Ever heard of them? Yeah... Exactly. They were one of the new type of optical storage media that was just coming out (think CD on steroids, closer to DVD's which weren't out yet). Unfortunately, my main hard drive died and, when I went to get everything off of my PD backup, I found that the drive was unreadable. I tried to find a service that could salvage anything, but nobody else had a Phase Digital drive and the hard drive was a complete loss too... ๐Ÿ˜ข As mentioned in another thread, my main computer now has over 22 TB's between SSD's and spinners, plus I have Carbonite's top subscription along with a Dropbox (Business) subscription. Add to this an almost-full Google Drive and a rarely used One Drive, and I've got a lot of stuff saved everywhere!
  6. I'll definitely check this out later! Sounds like it's right up Andy's (Synkrotron's) alley too. Hey... Where IS Andy anyway??! ๐Ÿค”
  7. Well, my main computer already has 22 TB's between SSD's and spinner hard drives, plus I have the top-level Carbonite plan with the following cloud storage: Dropbox, Google Drive and One Drive (rarely used). Almost enough, ya? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
  8. And a bonus that should be very appropriate for this forum! My friends and I have named our band โ€˜Duvetโ€™. Itโ€™s a cover band. ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘
  9. Found some fresh ones (just don't step in 'em!). ๐Ÿ˜ Dad, are we pyromaniacs? Yes, we arson. What do you call a pig with laryngitis? Disgruntled. Writing my name in cursive is my signature move. Why do bees stay in their hives during winter? Swarm. If youโ€™re bad at haggling, youโ€™ll end up paying the price. Just so everyoneโ€™s clear, Iโ€™m going to put my glasses on. A commander walks into a bar and orders everyone around. I lost my job as a stage designer. I left without making a scene. Never buy flowers from a monk. Only you can prevent florist friars. How much did the pirate pay to get his ears pierced? A buccaneer. I once worked at a cheap pizza shop to get by. I kneaded the dough. How can you tell if someone is a pirate? They just arrrr. I lost my girlfriendโ€™s audiobook, and now Iโ€™ll never hear the end of it. Why is โ€˜darkโ€™ spelled with a k and not c? Because you canโ€™t see in the dark. Why is it unwise to share your secrets with a clock? Well, time will tell. When I told my contractor I didnโ€™t want carpeted steps, they gave me a blank stare. Bono and The Edge walk into a Dublin bar and the bartender says, โ€œOh no, not U2 again.โ€ Prison is just one word to you, but for some people, itโ€™s a whole sentence. Scientists got together to study the effects of alcohol on a personโ€™s walk, and the result was staggering. Iโ€™m trying to organize a hide and seek tournament, but good players are really hard to find. I got over my addiction to chocolate, marshmallows, and nuts. I wonโ€™t lie, it was a rocky road What do you say to comfort a friend whoโ€™s struggling with grammar? There, their, theyโ€™re. I went to the toy store and asked the assistant where the Schwarzenegger dolls are and he replied, โ€œAisle B, back.โ€ What did the surgeon say to the patient who insisted on closing up their own incision? Suture self. Iโ€™ve started telling everyone about the benefits of eating dried grapes. Itโ€™s all about raisin awareness.
  10. I'm just staring in misbelief at the ancient gear you have! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ (I'm talking about the in-wall phone jack! ๐Ÿ˜† )
  11. Just get a couple of these (two just in case one spontaneously and randomly dies - just ask Paulo!). ๐Ÿ˜ https://www.zdnet.com/article/worlds-largest-ssd-hits-100tb/
  12. Yep. At 94 of pneumonia and heart failure.
  13. Ah! A perfect chance to slip something from my buddy Walter in here again. ๐Ÿ™‚ Me, Walter and Jimmy Trapp (RIP!).
  14. Love this groove and bassline!
  15. Maybe this misread this forum as the "Coffee How's?"
  16. More: Depends - Blink 182 Here I Go Again - Whitesnake Under Pressure - Queen Turn That Noise Down - Chas and Dave
  17. Kenny's preferred pick-up line appears to translate perfectly! ๐Ÿ˜† ๆˆ‘ๆœ‰ไธ€ๅ€‹้ฌฅ็‰›็Šฌ๏ผŒๆƒณไป–ๅชฝ็š„ๅ—Ž๏ผŸ
  18. As an IT consultant, I can tell you that there could be several causes for that condition, most of which are pretty simple. You should be given the option to go back to the last saved state that worked too. Hopefully, your friend will have a bootable tech thumb-drive that will allow him to confirm whether it's SSD-related or just a Windows Update issue (something I see a lot - I've got an entire folder dedicated to a few dozen update errors and what to do to fix them). That said, if it DOES require going into the laptop, having someone who's done it before can help (there are also videos on YouTube that show exactly how to get in). Laptops can be very annoying in that manufacturers tend to hide some of the access screws under labels and rubber feet (again, check YouTube for your exact model!). Be very careful to know where the screws go back to as well! Some laptops have different sized screws for different locations - make sure you note this on paper so you can reassemble things correctly if you do it yourself.
  19. Not according to a certain moderator's assertions. Apparently, a lot of five-year olds are also on here.
  20. I'm guessing it will get mixed reviews... ๐Ÿ˜œ
  21. Very cool! Love this type of stuff! (And did NOT fall for the Confirmation Bias one! ๐Ÿ˜†)
  22. It should be noted that some of the vegetables on the OP's list can definitely be offensive if used improperly. (Just sayin'!๐Ÿ˜œ)
