Ya! They all have these funny-sounding company names that you just know are fake! Like Alembic for example! ? ?

Just get one of these and nobody will be reading anything off of your hard drives! ?

These are the two I use often. Although the video portions are nice, I usually have them playing in the background when I need to work early in the morning or while a client is over and were reviewing things. https://www.youtube.com/@Nocturnes_Art https://www.youtube.com/@enjoylifeandloveyourself

As someone who used to be a third-party seller on Amazon (along with my business partner), I can tell you that all the rumors you hear about Amazon are not completely accurate. They are actually far worse than you hear about! I can give many reasons, but I don't want to make myself angry again. Our final straw was when they basically stole $16,000 worth of inventory from us. Enough said for now! ?

Well, it's hard to think sharp when you be flat, ya? ?

$4 donut?

Oh, crap! I thought there was only four or five!!! ? Explains a lot actually... ?

Usually, paying more attention to the laptop is enough of a birth control method! ?

Now THAT'S some serious medication! dedication! ?

The corner of that chair looks like something out of a fast food commercial! ?

Lately I've been more of an inaction figure... ?

My lawyer has advised me not to disclose that information...

Do either of these count? ?

This is why I only use blood in my printers!

RIP!

Nap time! ? ?

"Subsonar?" Is that a forum here? ?

The last time I worked for a boss I got an "Activation Required on Monday morning!" I ignored the message and now I work for myself. ?

With a few Gold level eggs of course! (Who have also been given an incorrect rap!)

This is the method I use now!

I had to go onto a nuclear sub a couple of times back when I was working at a defense contractor (the subs were in the Point Loma area of San Diego). Claustrophobic AF for someone who's 6'4" tall! The guy who greats you on the gangplank (I forget what they call his position, "Man of the Boat?") gave all of us a badge and the same joke "See that green? If it goes red, you're dead!" meaning the nuclear reactor had leaked. For a brief time I was working on the flight code for the Tomahawk cruise missiles. While that may make me a bit of a rocket scientist (and a younger bitflipper! ?), I look back now at that and what I was originally supposed to do (fly F-14's; until I grew too tall), and realize how far away from my personal views those are! Definitely not a fan of indiscriminate killing! Heck, I even capture the little flying bugs that wind up in the house (I name them all Fred) and release them outdoors. The one thing I do recall about erasing drives is that before using the magnets we would write all low values (zeros), then all high values (ones) on the entire drive and do this about three times. Most people don't realize that deleting a file only removes the entry from the file access table (FAT) and the actual contents will stay there until that area of the disk gets rewritten. This is how recovery utilities (like Glary) can sometimes find recently deleted files for you (or the NSA if you've been bad!?). There's also some residual which reminds me of screen burn-in that can sometimes indicate what the original value used to be. The fun part about disassembling a drive is you can keep the VERY strong magnets that are inside! We would use them to hold things to walls that look like they're only drywall (they were strong enough to stick to the screws underneath you couldn't see!).

No kidding! That was how I met Greg (Hendershott) while trying to get my expensive Turtle Beach sound card's General MIDI to work with Cakewalk v1.0!
