Redundant network storage is cheap and available. If you're a little tech savvy, one of those and a cheap hosting plan accomplishes two copies local, and one remote.

I tell people that once you make your own mayo with quality ingredients you'll not want to buy the mass produced stuff. I started making it because everything in the stores uses the cheapest fucking ingredients possible. To your point, it's eggs, oil, acid, and spices. Not a lot to hate there.

I'm a fan of both. I don't hear it. Different key, different progression. What are you hearing that I'm not? Also, IMO it's absolutely impossible to not be influenced by Stevie if you play this type of music, so there's that.

Modern PHP is better because it's modern. Which early version of a programming language was good? I've used a lot of them, and by modern standards, I think dog shit is a somewhat appropriate description for most of them.

Women earned the right in the 60s, but it wasn't until the Equal Credit Opportunity Act passed in '74 until banks were forbidden from requiring a husband's signature.

The Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits financial institutions from discriminating against applicants based on their sex, age, marital status, religion, race or national origin.

I worked for a Credit Union as a developer. I can attest that at least where I worked, there was a host of yearly modules you had to complete to ensure you were up to speed on how to not be an asshole and they took it quite seriously.

I like to go bottom up. If chocolate and coffee are off the menu, I'm not sure this life is worth continuing.
