I know I need to be careful with the old 78's. Every time they are played, there is a degradation so I make sure I rotate which ones I play. The player as well will not go on for ever.
Every time we play one, I say to Mrs Wife that we should digitise them 'one day'.

Wow, that's deep for a Tuesday. Did you come up with that?
By the I certainly do agree that we have to keep remolding ourselves to stay current.

Just remember that it doesn't matter what language you use or what project you are on, you only do three things in programming:
1) Set a value
2) Check a value
3) Jump to a location in a program where you set or check values
Everything else is fluff.
As long as you remember this, you will never be behind the technology.

The folks there appear to be a very pro-gun group of folks - it seems like a good number of people brings guns to work (leaving them in their cars of course). The work looks real interesting, too.

Of the nine people in our section, me and one other guy had guns. At the new job, I'd say it's closer to 50% have guns.

That few, in Texas? You mean have guns or bring them in their car? My old office probably had a 50% gun ownership rate, but they were headquartered in Iowa, my office before that had a few very animate gun owners (my boss's boss kept a stack of blank FOID applications on his desk, FOIDS are required to buy guns or ammo in IL).

In his previous job, the employer had the guns.
Remember he was working at an Army base.

That should make code reviews rather politer than normal.

We have the upper hand on the Indian contingent because none of them have guns.

Cheap Indian-made whiskey.
Or, IMFL (India Made Foreign Liquor) as it is designated by the Government regulators in India.
India's MF Liquor is a good description for it.

I't can't be as bad as some wine we bought in Bangkok - every bottle in the case was identical, but the contents varied from drinkable white through to paintstripper via gawd-knows-what-it-is-but-I'm-not-drinking-that.

I admit my prejudice, that was my first thought.
I blame watching too many western films in childhood for that.
And some contemporary YouTube videos.

Texas isn't even the most gun-friendly state.

Probably Nevada or Montana if I were to guess. I know the state I am in is pretty gun friendly. The problem is convincing the girlfriend to let me drop $5k for a 0.50 rifle.
