Flogging Molly. Was dating my wife when we first got to see them play, along with Gogol Bordello. Our first show together, she loved it. Decided I should keep her at that point. :) We’ve seen them 7 more times over the years.

He’s a hoopy frood who knows where his towel is.

Danger Mouse, international spy and crime fighting white rodent with an eye patch. Old British cartoon from the early 80’s.

Used to use Vent playing Eve Online 19 years ago. Worked great back then. Apparently it’s still around, but still no Linux support after all these years.

All the pressure built up from the escalating screams echoing inside my skull will make my head explode in a spectacular and messy fashion.

“Mr. Bradshaw, will you stand up please?”

This is all of the drawers in our kitchen.

I’m running Newpipe through Proton VPN, working as of today.

Reservoir Dogs (1992)

I’ve seen elderly folks do that a few times. Not on the shoulder, but still in their lane, backing up into oncoming traffic. (Yes, I did spend some time living in Florida.)

Quality control chemist testing pharmaceuticals. Most of what we do is for clinical trial use and research purposes. It’s been a good job.

Not a laptop, but I had an old motherboard from over 20 years ago not doing anything. Screwed it to a board on the wall of my shop. Added an old hard drive and some components out of the same old box it was in, and now have it running Mint. Found an old wifi card that works too, so I can look up parts and repair videos while I’m working on projects. Works great.

Starblazers episodes used to air randomly on one of the local UHF channels when I was around 11 years old. For some reason I remembered it recently, and some quick online searching found that it was an edited and English dubbed version of Space Battleship Yamato. Binge watched the original subtitled episodes. It was nostalgic seeing the characters that I remembered from decades ago, but good to see the entire uncut story all the way to its end.

Josta soda. A guarana cola drink Pepsi put out in the 90’s before energy drinks became a big thing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Josta_drink.jpeg

Always look on the bright side of life - Monty Python

Came across one in a consignment bin a few weeks ago. Aww, nope, not even for $2.

It’s a dual drive redundant setup. Unless something catastrophic happens, I doubt both drives will go out at the same time. I could do an offsite backup as well, but just haven’t.

Been using a Synology NAS for the past year for automatic photo backups. Take a photo, it gets copied to my drive at home so long as there’s internet access available. No issues so far. Turned off my backups to Google.

I remember back in grade school (early 80’s) we had lessons about how to use a phone book. Now I’m surprised if I ever see a new one dropped off at the front door.
