It's going to be Harris. Only a question of who she picks his running mate.

I don't like this either, that so many people were pressuring him to drop out. I really thought he was going to say f you and stay in and I still think he would be the strongest candidate. Run on his record.

Yeah I really hate that. I two me students all the time that they should not try to sing like her because her technique is very poor with no breath support. It's an affected trend that needs to stop.

Tom Petty is an instant dial change for me. His voice never bothered me; I just find the songs to be incredibly boring. Same for Springsteen.

More recently: Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Imagine Dragons.

Last I heard, Russian ICBM sites still run on COBOL.

All rifles with bayonets mounted + highly proficient with halberds = instantly regret for engaging with this force.

I still have an Intel chip puller somewhere, along with a first-gen Pentium. I didn't keep any 486 chips.

What I wish I had kept was my Pentium Pro. Felt like a badass when I got that one. Double that when I got a Micropolis UW SCSI drive years later.

Backing up only to cloud storage (GDrive, iDrive, etc.) is *not* sufficient because you do not have full control. You need local copies of anything that matters. Also, don't put anything on cloud storage that could be potentially harmful or embarrassing to you or others if it leaked publicly.

Every time there's a major tech-related incident, it's a good reminder to evaluate your backup strategy. Have multiple local and off-site copies of all data. Daily mirrors to cloud and/or local drives, and quarterly to removable media.

Use optical discs for long-term storage because of their greater stability compared to magnetic media. Use HTL BD-R discs - I can recommend specific models.

Store sensitive material in VeraCrypt volumes.

It's also an edited video, so they may have edited out all the actual Kung Fu form components and need a highlight reel of all of the flashy stuff.

@TrueBloodNet
Because you can't fully trust anything that's on a drive or system you do not have direct control over.

ALWAYS have regular backups of ALL your data. And don't ever store anything in the cloud that you wouldn't be comfortable publicly sharing with the whole world.

@TrueBloodNet
Use SmartSwitch to back up a Samsung phone to a PC.

Also make sure you back up all of your Google photos to local storage.

Sadly, I uninstalled. The swiping is just not ready for primetime, even though it's using Google's library. I'm back using Gboard.

@CelluloidBlonde
I'm confused by this. It's absolutely an incredible feat of gymnastics, flexibility, and balance. But there's almost no Kung Fu.

Happy Birthday, @daniel ! 🥳

You're welcome, and thanks for sharing your experience. I have never seen a sun heated roaster before.
