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.

Hi Daniel,
With great respect, may I draw your attention to the fact that the "Star of David," as palladial icon for Judaism, is recently adopted (19th. century), in the context of Zionism: of course there are a few ancient instances, ornamental, Kabbalistic:[^] The sign's use in Islam, associated with magic (Seal of Solomon) may be as ancient. And, note that Hasmonean Judaism was fervently aniconic, and condemned any form of magic.
The pentagram has much more ancient ritual use, although it also occurs in the Christian tradition: [^].
Of course, the most pluripotent magical sign is the capital letter "I," and its associated phoneme.Quote: “The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”
― W.B. Yeats

I'm well aware that the "star of David" has nothing to do with the biblical king of that name. I was trying to pun on the word "hex", but it fell flat.

Looks like my obtuseness and your acuity met at the junction of opacity and transparency
Quote: The word “hex” is both a noun and a verb which can either be transitive or intransitive. It can refer to the act of practicing witchcraft or the process of putting an evil spell over someone or something. It is also sometimes referred to as a jinx.
It is likewise synonymous with the words “charm” (to chant or recite a magic spell), “enchant” (to influence through incantations and charms), “bewitch” (to cast a spell over), or “strike” (to affect someone or something with a magic spell).
A hex is expected to bring bad luck to the one who is put under it. It is considered as an evil spell because it wishes bad things to happen to whom it is cast. The infliction and removal of hexes are often done by those who practice witchcraft, and they can be found in every society in most parts of the world.
The word “hex” has been used in Pennsylvania since the early 1800s where there were a number of German and Swiss immigrants. It came from the Pennsylvania Dutch/German word “hexe” which means “to practice sorcery or witchcraft.” cheers, Bill

The only way for the curser to avoid living in the same interesting times as the cursee is by dying.

All my code is in the cloud, so at least it'll be business as usual professionally.
