'Tis why I either block 'em or set a rule. My domain host got hacked a few years back and my emails got out so I still get well over 200 emails a day... ?

Pixies - Where Is My Mind

I can relate to the cover... ?

I remember watching this about six years ago, right after Tom died (which was about a year after Gary had passed if I remember correctly).

Confession time... Since my apartment complex had a nice court, I used to play practice tennis with the receptionist from work who was pretty stacked and I used to intentionally do drop shots just to watch her run towards the net, bend over and try to reach the ball... I'm not proud. ? (Plus I was dating her sister who was a hot AAA beach volleyball player, i.e., Pro level. I only made it to AA...)

This is obviously why we shouldn't talk to percussionists! ?

And, for even more perspective, that $8,499 is equivalent to $21,290.52 today! ? (Well, as of April, 2023, the most current month of data available using the inflation calculator.) I still remember paying $510 the year before (1988) for a 20 MB hard drive (yes, MEGABYTE!). That's $1,337.21 in today's dollars! [Edit: Just noticed that the monitor and mouse were not included in that computer for that price! ?]

I'm still using this one... ? *Wonders what happened to the X-Ray specs I bought back in the 70's...* ?

Like I said, I want to replace a 10 TB spinner, so it's just acting as mass storage for mostly training/learning videos. However, since I've got a nice i9 built by Jim Roseberry, I might have an extra M.2 slot... Hmm... ?

This is the one I'm considering: https://www.newegg.com/samsung-8tb-870-qvo-series/p/N82E16820147784?Description=internal ssd 8TB&cm_re=internal_ssd 8TB-_-20-147-784-_-Product Only $408. Not bad!

I'm saving up for another 8TB... I've got a 10TB spinner I want to replace.

So you fell for the ImReallyFunny plugin special, ya? ?

Anyone else remember when Bapu used to actually post once in a while? ?

Large SSD's are getting cheaper! Just sayin'... ?

That face! LOL! ?

Paul Allen's Octopus yacht.

What Kenny probably thinks this thread is about! ?

?

Tesla > AC/DC? ? (Yes, I actually DO know all about Tesla and that he's only the AC part of this and while his employer, Edison, was the DC part. Whatever.) AC/DC - Girl's Got Rhythm

Doesn't quite fit laying down? Looks like it could get a bit hot in there though... ? I went with rolling racks in one of my bedroom studio instead of trying to cram things into tight spaces. More air flow!

CJ stole them. ?

One ended up with a pretty cool studio on his yacht!

Oh yeah... I'd tell my past self to NOT sell stock to go on a 39-day Europe trip back in 1981, but to use it to buy Microsoft stock instead! Then I would advise myself to NOT buy anything on credit and to just pay for it in full.

Is that something you inhairetted Ed? ?
