Did encounter these. And Zip drive disks (and their frequent failure rate with The Click of Death on read retries), etc. And then CDRs and a rapidly plummeting cost-per-mb rate for portable media.

Having been through it all "in the moment", I'm immensely grateful for USB thumb drives.

Blew out my L5/S1, full cauda equina syndrome with persistent neurogenic bowel & bladder, etc.

Neurosurgeon put a lot of it back together but the rest is still missing, and the next two disks up are both desiccated, bulging, and protruding. Had to have the intravertebral nerves ablated, too.

For sure, and to support each other.

I'm slowly losing my ability to walk due to degenerative disc disease, and am in the middle of yet another round of spinal injections to try and manage the pain.

Every day is a different and unreliable level of capacity and dysfunction. Connecting helps.

Don’t worry, all Cons eventually evolve into CrabCon.

On a planet that nobody can find, but which is nevertheless filled with cultists and… an entire military industrial complex, fuel depot, and supporting logistics infrastructure.

I think they were all pulled out of the same hole.

It's a thing you can't relate to unless you've been there. You don't "get used" to chronic pain; you're just not surprised by it anymore.

Still hurts. Every time. While external demands and expectations don't go anywhere (if anything, compounding).

Best of luck with this flare up. ❤️‍🩹

Yes, it's gorgeous and technically impressive, but I can't NOT hear lightsaber noises watching that.

And likely reduces pest distribution; even a slight reduction would be beneficial in the long run.

From the audiophile community on Reddit: If you've ever felt useless, remember gold plated toslink cables exist. Explore this post and more from the audiophile community

Reminds me of the first time I saw some fiber optic cables: touting "gold plated connectors".

Still relatively easy to find, apparently.

Hey man, we cool? I just noticed that when I look at you the reticle turns red.

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

"Grit it out." Sipping cold water (very small sips) and maybe keep some ice cream in hand to soothe.

Nothing to be done about the hiccups themselves, since they're neurological in origin.

I get to do it all again in a week and a half for the next set of injections. Wheee!

Gesundheit.

lol - I posted the same video before seeing your reply. Fantastic performance!

The Best of Dr. Poole | OSCAR (1991) YouTube video by Chief Scheider

And Dr. Thornton Poole, in "Oscar" (not for everybody, but theater geeks tend to quite enjoy that one).

I am one of those "fortunate" rare individuals for whom an epidural steroid injection (transforaminal L3 bilateral this time, DDD treatment) causes hiccups.

A shot in my low back. 24 hours of frequent hiccups which respond to no interventions.

Guess I'm not doing any voiceover stuff today.

They say that, @chocolatefire.bsky.social, but it's obviously the fae lands abandoned when they all sailed to the undying lands with the rest of their kin.

Quick, check the EXIF data and see if you can figure out what day of the year/phase of the moon/etc. it was taken, so the bridge will reappear.

Those hoodoos have struck an important and/or strategic agreement, by the looks of it.

It's called "sword" Congresswoman . . .

A short, gnarled desert pine tree with an exposed root system sits on the rim of a dramatic red canyon of steep walls and hoodoos, half covered in snow.

And for being stationary, it gets around!

By totally random chance I encountered it again in January, in this random office calendar in Maine.

Hey had a better camera, composition, and lighting, and probably upped the saturation a bit. But unmistakable!

A canyon overlook into reddish sandy slopes and steep hoodoos, speckled with short desert pine trees. A hard horizon line separates a clear blue sky, and a stout pine tree sits in the right of the foreground on an elevated root system, the sand having eroded away between the individual stems.

One of my favorite places in the world; been a few years.

Right; still use for monospace typefaces, I've learned to move past it for proportional stuff.

But I also 1) remove angled or fancy quotes, and 2) will not give up my Oxford commas for anybody.

Unless it's Microsoft Word and there are images or tables or other embedded objects in there, then… well, there's no way to know.

Right? Tax relief on tips is nothing next to affordable healthcare and enjoying a well-earned retirement.

That is a real job she has. In Arkansas.

They imported her for this stunt, just like they've used her for other endorsements of this one very narrow policy, but she is a real person and her husband does have cancer.

And they (her or GOP) don't want reasonable healthcare, just lower taxes. On tips.

It's outlandish enough I had to verify it.

Verification is the only reason I'll touch that site anymore.

Sadly: this is 100% real.

Lousy Smarch weather.
