What I have identified as a ca. 2007 iPod Shuffle 2nd gen has emerged. I presume it was my wife's, as it is not something I would have purchased, but she denies all memory of it. It appears to work, as my PC recognises it as a mountable Apple device.

The Japanese government is considering raising the fee for permanent residency to as high as ¥300,000 and that for changing or extending one’s residential status to ¥100,000. 👉 ebx.sh/n6tS24

I am opposed to having the A*sop brand in my home because the staff hands you a menu and follows you around, making unrequested recommendations.
Buddy, this isn’t a Michelin restaurant. It’s a bunch of expensive soap that smells like it came from a farmer’s market.

The photograph of mine that's made me the most money (not counting gigs), been downloaded and seen the most, is by far this one. It frequently gets sold as stock as data centers, technology, etc.
It's a photo I took on my phone of an elevator shaft.
