Zombie: “Rawrrr” munch munch nom nom

Will: “Get my wife’s arm out of your fucking mouth!”

</low hanging fruit>

Please tell me part of the prompt was “hands out of frame”. It’s a whole new world.

Groovy meme, man.

The movie Lifeforce enters the chat.

Granted it’s barely SF, the vampires are barely (see what I did there?) vampires, and it’s objectively not a very good movie. But vampires from space sucked the life from people, and it totally rocked.

WRT 3-2-1 I’m only part way there for my personal stuff, I haven’t been willing to invest in anything offsite yet but gained some peace of mind anyway. Offsite backup for the most important stuff is in my future for sure. FWIW here’s what I have, and what I did:

In order of size: 1000+ movies, a couple dozen TV series I may want to revisit, something like 10000 songs (mostly in albums), and a slew of scanned family photos and genealogy documents as well as offline ancestry databases.

In order of importance: family photos and genealogy stuff, music, movies, TV shows.

I ended up with a primary NAS, Synology 4 disk with one disk redundancy, and a second older Synology set up the same way that serves as backup. Each with battery powered UPS. The older NAS has degraded twice over about 12 years, and each time I popped another disk in and a couple of days later all was good. They do scheduled data scrubbing and I subscribe to an inexpensive SMS service that texts me when that gets done or if anything else happens.

I don’t use any backup or replication software. Anything on there started on either my desktop or my wife’s laptop, and we just copy it twice. Except the TV shows and the one-and-done Netflix movies, they just go to the primary and I assess later if they are in need of backup.

Hope that’s useful in some way.

Web 3.1 for Workgroups?

I grudgingly admire the way the 3D wraparound tile was done. I mean it’s horrible, but it’s perhaps the best possible way to accomplish this particular version of horrible.

Yeah I’m sure there are plenty of people who have the sense to think it through like you did, it’s just that I encounter the other type a couple times a week and felt like bitching about it.

Back-in-only spaces with the arrows pointed accordingly is sounding more and more like a superior solution.

Lots of people with sound, logical explanations of why it’s better and easier but nobody talking about, with the common angled parking lots these days, how you then end up pulling out the opposite direction of everyone else and going the wrong way down a one way lane or doing a u-turn and basically fucking everything up for anyone else.

I haven’t seen it, but apparently it all takes place on the planet where they live or something. So yeah they experience stuff and comment in the same way, but it’s maybe not quite the same.

Word on the street (well, the IMDB reviews which I admit hardly passes for the street) is they screwed up by not having these dudes on Earth like in the comic, experiencing things that are mundane to us but strange to them and giving their uniquely literal blue perspective on it all.

Yo

Twin Peaks GLaDOS test with me.

I want to say Clare Torrey regarding what she did with Pink Floyd in Great Gig in the Sky but she does have a career of her own. Just not terribly well known as far as I can tell.
