I now have over 10,000 videos on my primary Favorites playlists on #YouTube. When you exceed 5000 videos on a playlist, YouTube unhelpfully just says "Something went wrong." At which point a few minutes ago I created 0-Favorites 3 (many of you will already know why I have the "0-" on there). If you think 10,000 videos is a lot, keep in mind those are just my main Favorites. My YouTube History of all videos watched is, uh, somewhat longer. Yeah.

@lauren Wow! I've been thinking about signing up for YouTube music or premium, whatever is the best value for the money.

Man who kept his boat beside his house was ordered by the city to put up a fence to hide the boat from view.

So he built the fence and hired someone to paint it.

@Mrfunkedude I did today's laundry yesterday. Yeah, I'm a time traveler.

Long ago in DEC PDP-11/70 days there were disk drives the size of washing machines to provide 80 or 100MB or so of storage. These all had removable disk packs, some had clear glass covers over the disks.

I used to like staring into the top of those while the disks were spinning so rapidly. I occasionally had the uncomfortable thought of what would happen if one of those disks broke loose at that speed. I also was haunted by the concept that one day I'd be removing one of those disks with the work of dozens of people on it and it would break loose from the cover (much like a big cake cover) and shatter on the floor.

Bizarrely, I now get much the same morbid thrill from staring through the top glass cover of my direct drive washing machine, which in spin cycle spins VERY fast and so looks very much like those old disk drives in action.

@lauren
Funny enough just yesterday we had an unbalanced load in the washer. The lid locks during operation so we were flummoxed as how to proceed. I figured out a procedure to unlock the lid. After much fiddling around with the load (towels) distribution we restarted the spin cycle. It took a while for the spin cycle to reach maximum speed. We dared not walk away until we were convinced the load was now balanced.

@kflanagan @lauren That was an expensive mistake. When the techs had to replace a drive platter we programmers would fight over who got to take it home as a trophy. Those platters were big and beautiful. Quite the conversation piece hanging on a wall.

#quote #UmbertoEco

“Social media gives legions of idiots the right to speak when they once only spoke at a bar after a glass of wine, without harming the community ... but now they have the same right to speak as a Nobel Prize winner. It's the invasion of the idiots.”
