Do you prefer a wingnut or a spanner? Object oriented versus component oriented?

I tend to create components to handle other components ("adapters"); so I'm a COP, and not an OOP.

They're coming to take me away, ha-ha
They're coming to take me away
Ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-ha, to the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats
And they're coming to take me away, ha-ha

I've found that I'm not fond of straight jackets.

I've found that I'm not fond of straight jackets.

Truly? I have a psychiatric history too (including a night in the padded room), but I'm doing a lot better these days. Coping skills help.

Just realized ... "public opinion" is now just how many "blogging" AI bots you can muster ... but all with a slightly different twist to make it seem more "public".

just to set the record straight both sides of the aisle lie like dogs. Both use lies and slander against the other to further an agenda.

to call out one side over something and not recognize the faults of the other, is just silly talk.

You can't blame things you read that you don't like, just on AI bots, that is silly talk too.

Public opinion is a mute point these days as it is 100% relative to a person's political standing and view points. It most certainly is not held by ALL persons.

It's the quantity; not the quality. With AI, you can multiply yourself while passing off as someone else and no one's the wiser.

On my desktop I have two NVMe drives: One for the system and the other for data (called my D: drive). Suddenly when I turned the machine on this morning Windows reported that the D drive was missing - I had no access to any of my data.

Now, I keep my data backed up to an external drive, but my very latest work of the last couple of days was not yet backed up. So I feared my very latest emails and work on Kotlin projects may have been lost. OMG | :OMG:

I restarted the machine in the hope the D drive will become visible again, but no cigar. The D drive appeared stone dead!

As a last resort I restored the system drive to a Macrium image taken just yesterday, with little hope that that will recover access to the D drive. But it worked! Now my D drive is visible again! Unsure | :~

But I have this nagging feeling of impending doom, like there is a bad moon rising! What if the D drive is about to fail permanently? So I immediately hooked up an external empty 1 TB drive and started backing up all data that I cannot afford to lose! I will also order a spare NVMe drive to keep just in case.

Once I have fully backed up ALL data to the external drive, I will be at peace again! Smile | :)
