Bluto : Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

Otter : Germans?

Boon : Forget it, he's rolling.

Bluto : And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough... The tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!

America's Billionaire Class chose the Psychopath, and generated the needed amount (ie, Too much is never enough..) of Propaganda to get the overworked and underinformed American Public to 'somewhat, kinda' get him the barest majority in order to prevail... for the moment.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Kissing the butt of someone with THAT diet.. it's just physics.

Relax, you're soaking in it!

When referring to our Secretary of Defense, I think it would be respectful to address him as "Private" .

Like Billy Joel said..
"Well now you tell me you love somebody. And you'll love 'em forever. You may love 'em forever. But you won't like 'em all of the time.. "

Same goes for art

FWIW, I have been Two Weeks (ish) Facebook-sober, and I do have some reticence about getting as obsessive ANYWHERE as I have been on Social Media in the past. Still..

Rick, Why did you come to Blue Sky?

I came for the waters.

But Surely, Blue Sky is in a desert?

I was misinformed..

All that said.. I don't know about best tape disposal practices. I do think there are recyclers who will reuse tape.. you may want to bulk erase them with a degausser. (I have one if you need one)

I did a video for a customer where the DVD master was called a Glass Master.. and was literally pitted glass. I would love to learn if that is a long term archival storage mechanism.

Hi Steve!
Eager to hear if there are any replies. I'm also wondering what, if any, deeper archival formats exist. For some time, Tape DATA Storage was the gold standard for longest durable .. but I wonder if it's still possible to get them and the drives.(Not That I've looked!!)

Interesting what you regard as weak and strong. Solar put in 33 Gigawatts of generating capacity last year, and will break 40 THIS year.

Nuclear: 2 GW
