  • This is true, though I figured I'd mention it. ^^

  • When he told her that, she began crying, and appologizing. She didn’t remember saying that, but he never stopped thinking about it for 30+ years.

    The axe forgets; the tree remembers.

  • I definitely have backups. And this explains it very well. Thank you. :)

  • Speaking as someone who doesn't encrypt their desktop but is thinking about it:

    you can't share (readable) data over one's home network if the sending PC is disk-encrypted?

    For example, are you saying that if I send a video file from my PC, which is disk-encrypted, over LAN to my NAS, then the NAS would not be able to read said file?

  • That is a good reason to backup

    This is true.

    but has nothing to do with encryption.

    I disagree with this. If you forget the password for decrypting your drive, then you will have lost "anything on the drive that's important". I know because it happened to me long ago, and so now I too have been wary of disk encryption ever since then.

  • but my Googlefuu isn’t good enough.

    To be fair, with how shit Google has become, it's likely none of our Googlefuu would be enough.

  • That actually depends entirely on where you're at. That would be positively tropical to someone in Minnesota, but to someone in Arizona I almost can guarantee you that would be freezing.

  • Good idea, though sadly I cannot afford that at the moment.

  • Nah, I like the original way more.

    "I'm not planning on fighting a pelican" comes off as "well, I'm not planning on it, but it could happen",

    while "I'm not planning on fighting a pelican" comes off as almost a political statement: "Statement: I do not have plans to fight a pelican." like a politician at a press release.

    I feel the latter would confuse people more. Lol.

  • DISCLAIMER - I am not planning on fighting a pelican.

    I need this on a T-shirt.

    Seriously, this is the best thing I have seen on the Internet in a long time. It's like I'm in 2013 all over again. Lol.

  • Every kid from the 80s & 90s was taught* to believe that, so I don't blame you.

    &nsbp;

    *By movies & books & games and shit, not by teachers. Well, maybe some teachers...

  • That bonzai was Japanese for "fire", and therefore you should never shout "Bonzai!" in a theater.

    Yeah, I'm not sure what I was smoking either.
