Completely agree! I didn't mention this, but I keep the back-up hard drive in another apartment.
This reminds me of a story that happened in some university in England: they had two backups of some server in two different locations. One day one back-up drive failed, and the second failed the day after. Apparently they were the same brand & model. The moral was: use also different back-up hardware brands or means!
Thank you for confirming that! I was very unsure.
+1 rsync, to an external harddrive. Superfast. Useful also in case I need a backup of a single file that I changed or deleted by mistake. Work files are also backed up to the cloud on mega.nz, which is very useful also for cross-computer sync. But I don't trust personal files to the cloud.
Inviting her for dinner at a nice restaurant, and there subtly steering the conversation to your albums and how important they are to you, maybe can make her more attentive?

I partly agree with your comment about the books. But there's a curious historical element to consider: at that time telepathy was really discussed in the mainstream scientific literature as a scientific possibility. Not in a crackpot way, but in a scientific way: theories were developed, tests and experiments made, and then it was concluded that it doesn't exist, with explanations about why.
Since it was a scientific possibility at that time, or at least it wasn't seen as crackpottery, it was obviously used in science-based sci-fi books (not only Asimov's).
It's a little like they do in today's sci-fi with "parallel universes" or "quantum theory & consciousness" and similar stuff, which is discussed in today's scientific literature. Maybe (or very probably, in my opinion) in 50 or 100 years they'll laugh their arses off looking at our "science-based" sci-fi of today.
Well the screenshot I took looks really exactly like the original above. So I think browser is giving the most faithful output?

Works via browser too! Very expensive apples though โ they better be really juicy.
Thank you. The problem with "the 100th widget" is that it would refer to the 100th since the sequence started, but I'd like to refer the the 100th if I were to start counting now. "100 widgets later" is an adverb rather than an adjective, but maybe I can build a sentence around it.
Thank you. My problem is differentiating the "coming" 100th from the "past" 100th. But I realize my post in unclear about that, I'll edit it now!
I was also wondering: where will this person find the time to moderate all these communities โ also seeing the huge variety of hobbies? ๐
