Heh, I was considering asking you if you were getting enough supply. I've started researching computer components so I'll have an idea what I'll eventually need (as if I can afford it during this weird time!). I'm definitely past due for a new computer... *Sigh...* 🙄

*Pfft!* That's so page 19 Bob! 😜

Yeah, my PC is picking a bad time to be having video card issues! (An NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050.) It's old, getting streaks and going blank sometimes. Time for a new card, but there's about as much inventory as I have extra cash to buy something with! 😕

On those I tend to right-click, get the URL, paste it into a new tab and it tells me what it was trying to play. Then, when I'm feeling really nice, I'll find a playable version and post it here. 😆 Like this:

We'll give you eight, but 7 and 10 split! 😁 (Of course, I could just be a turkey and throw you in the gutter! 😜)

1 - We're in a known part of an astronomical cycle (part of the 25,800 year Grand Cycle) that naturally causes temperatures to temporarily increase. 2 - Within the Grand Cycle are four smaller cycles which mark the times that entire civilizations typically get wiped out (every 6,450 years). 3 - When the water temperatures in the ocean rise to a certain degree, the flow between the Atlantic and Artic oceans stop. 4 - When the flow between the Atlantic and Artic oceans stop, we enter the next ice age (NOT some extended hot green-house!). 5 - Excessive CO2 happens at the end of the warming cycle, it does not cause the warming.

So, if a cow doesn't produce milk, is it a milk dud or an udder failure? 🤔

That's your first strike... 😜

It's but a flesh wound!!!

Well, I suppose one could always have the extra cut off, but why? 🤔 😜

Nope! I made my own:

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! 😮

A LONG time ago, there was a poster available...

Whatever floats your boat! (Or goat.) 😁 I wonder, do you think she flits and flutters too?

Still, that's no excuse for not stopping by and saying "Hi!" 😕

😜

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... 😢 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!

I'll definitely check this out later! Sounds like it's right up Andy's (Synkrotron's) alley too. Hey... Where IS Andy anyway??! 🤔

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? 🤷‍♂️

And a bonus that should be very appropriate for this forum! My friends and I have named our band ‘Duvet’. It’s a cover band. 😉👍

Found some fresh ones (just don't step in 'em!). 😁 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 you’re bad at haggling, you’ll end up paying the price. Just so everyone’s clear, I’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 girlfriend’s audiobook, and now I’ll never hear the end of it. Why is ‘dark’ spelled with a k and not c? Because you can’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 didn’t want carpeted steps, they gave me a blank stare. Bono and The Edge walk into a Dublin bar and the bartender says, “Oh no, not U2 again.” Prison is just one word to you, but for some people, it’s a whole sentence. Scientists got together to study the effects of alcohol on a person’s walk, and the result was staggering. I’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 won’t lie, it was a rocky road What do you say to comfort a friend who’s struggling with grammar? There, their, they’re. I went to the toy store and asked the assistant where the Schwarzenegger dolls are and he replied, “Aisle B, back.” What did the surgeon say to the patient who insisted on closing up their own incision? Suture self. I’ve started telling everyone about the benefits of eating dried grapes. It’s all about raisin awareness.

I'm just staring in misbelief at the ancient gear you have! 😮 (I'm talking about the in-wall phone jack! 😆 )

Just get a couple of these (two just in case one spontaneously and randomly dies - just ask Paulo!). 😁 https://www.zdnet.com/article/worlds-largest-ssd-hits-100tb/

Yep. At 94 of pneumonia and heart failure.

Ah! A perfect chance to slip something from my buddy Walter in here again. 🙂 Me, Walter and Jimmy Trapp (RIP!).
