Clearly, Jack Benny was lacking in wisdom.

He thought himself to be wise, so he was at least a great thinker.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Cellar Darling - Freeze[^]
A friend of mine saw them live at Graspop and told me about them.
They're quite alright, but this track is awesome.
Definitely the best on the album.
I'm especially fond of the vocals, which are beautiful.
Apparently, they use a hurdy-gurdy, but that's not really prevalent on the album.
I'm going to follow this band nonetheless

How prepared are you with disaster recovery & business continuity- Personally?
Okay I'm using these big terms for the sake of message beautification.
In other words, how well prepared are you, if you are notebooks dies off, all of a sudden?
You have all your data synced to cloud or to an external drive?
Do you have a secondary machine to pick up from where the primary one ceased, with all the tools & environments setup?
Few days back I had a real bad issue with my notebook it kept crashing during boot & landing into a BSD. I'm glad I have all the docs stored right no cloud. Like, maybe 90% of the docs - we manage online. It's such a relief. I could just drop off my primary notebook and continue with my secondary one, as I had all environment set up,readily.

There are no ladders around my house I could walk under. There are no banana peels. I have small piles of salt in each room, ready to throw over my shoulder. I have shoulder-mounted mirrors where I can look both ways for oncoming traffic without moving my head.
Before I reboot after a Windows update, I draw a pentagram, and put a drop of my blood in the center while cursing Microsoft and Google.

You should add this to the list - "I dont own newer Thinkpad models".
I think, Thinkpads are no more thinkpads.

Wouldn't a real witch/wizard prefer a hexagram (AKA a "star of David")?

Never curse others; bad karma is only too likely to rebound on to you. My preferred option is to wish them all the success possible - in a parallel Universe.
(It could, of course, be that we inhabit that parallel Universe )
