It's great to be tall! You always know when it's raining before everyone else.

A friend posted about an accident on Facebook, and there was a news video about it. When I clicked on Play, I got an entire screen of red with this message. I didn't not continue to the site. Looking further, I see that lots of other people have looked at the post, but I don't know if the clicked on the video. I figure better safe than sorry.

Whenever I get a screen like this, I always just stop immediately, and do a system restart...it's the safest course of action. If you click on either "Go Back" or "Continue to site," there is always the possibility that the bad actor may have programmed both of those buttons to go to the same evil website, which may have a virus or other nefarious things associated!

I use Google Drive. Easy to use...my data on Google Drive looks like any other directory to the Windows system...thus I can drag & drop from or to Google Drive. I can authorize any specific (or all) directories/files to one person, a group of persons, or to anyone with the link. The link is the URL given to whomever you choose.
Here's an example: I have made my SKYS directory available to anyone with this URL link:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Bm8HQ1ZBM_yj9ygQ76sfg4MP-Z5HEpeM?usp=sharing

Pricing is pretty good too. I have the basic plan of 100 GB which gets $19.99/yr. Upgrades are: 200 GB for $29.99/yr, or 2 TB for $99.99/yr.

kvanhook: you only say 2k Images, but didn't specify how much storage is consumed.

True story ... recently a man in Texas had his name changed legally to "Literally Anybody Else" since he is running for president of the USA. So on the ballot you can vote for Biden, Trump, RFK Jr., or Anybody Else.

Not all malls are suffering. Wife and I today went to a restaurant in Frisco, TX. After the meal, we decided to stop in the nearby Stonebriar Mall to do a comparison to what we saw at the Music City mall in Lewisville, TX. Well, gotta tell you, the Stonebriar mall was hopping, much like we remember all malls in the past. Stonebriar has more than 160 stores and restaurants, and in our walking the entire mall, top and bottom floors, we saw only 3 storefronts boarded up...but each with a sign announcing the "opening soon" of a specific new store coming to that spot. Doing the math, that means 98% current occupancy.

On my first job with a tech company in NYC in 1978, I worked with a guy named John Fuchs.

Would like to hear from you regarding your choices of portable SSD storage. Looking to add both a travel unit and a back up unit for my laptop. Not looking for a RAID drive or anything super expensive. See lots of nice looking options from Seagate but found lots of negative stuff regarding failures. That however was dated back in 2023. Have their issues been solved yet?
Thanks,

I have a Samsung 2TB SSD M.2 which I installed in a Sabrent enclosure.

Note that for ANY external SSD, when writing to it for long backups, it gets hot...and something to monitor. If only writing to it for brief periods like 5-10 minutes, that shouldn't be a problem. Suggest you use some program like Crystal Disk Info, which shows the temperature. I think that 60°C is when you should start worrying about over-heating. My full backups typically get to 55°C after writing continuously for up to an hour...and then after completion, goes back to normal temperature, like the 25°C shown.

I know, but we've been through this before. Rongnongno made it pretty clear, but apparently never spelled it out in the rules. He should.

As recently as yesterday, the owner changed the "Please read" document (his rules) to include his disallowing of religious content.

That does seem to be an unreasonable restriction; there's nothing anti-religious about the pictures that I can see, but maybe the AI section admin guy might just want to avoid prickly commentary by simply not having such imagery displayed at all. Also, I'd always thought that the letters INRI stood for "Ipsit Nazarenus Rex Iudeorum" (Here is the Nazarene King of the Jews). I took 2 years of Latin in high school, but that was 59 years ago so my spelling & grammar could be totally off.
That does seem to be an unreasonable restriction; ... (show quote)

The INRI is close to what you have shown...only the first word is not Ipsit, but Iesus...ie..."Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews." Somewhere in the distant past, along the lines of languages, what we know today as the "J" used to be "I" ... thus, you have the last word correct "Iudeorum" (of the Jews).

This is the OP. Rather strange that I posted a Nativity Scene to the "AI Artistry & Creation" section about 7 weeks ago, and the owner of that AI section had no problem with that one...but he does have a problem with a Crucifixion scene.

I wonder how Jerry finds the time

Ah....yes! How indeed does Jerry find the time? Going to Jerry's profile numbers (which changes daily), it shows:

Registration date: Sep 5, 2011
Number of topics created: 17720
Number of messages posted: 152652

So, doing the math:
2024-2011 = 13 years on UHH x 365 = 4,745 days
Topics + messages = 170,372 postings
170,372 / 4,745 days = 35.9 postings/day

.... My gosh! When, over the last 13 years, does Jerry find time to sleep?
.... Or how does he find new topics (or brain venting) to keep us all entertained?
