If Sigmund stood on a banana, would that be a Freudian slip?

No. Sometimes a banana is just a banana.

When he hit the ground and uttered an obsenity if no one was around to hear it would it still be obscene?

Where's the proof anything was uttered?
I mean it's not as if there would be a dead tree lying about to show for it.
So no, would not be obscene, nor even an utterance.
(Unless the cat was watching, I hear they are bringing them out with IoT pretty soon.)

The utterance produced a vibration which is the definition of sound. If a Marine was there to receive the obsenity, it would not be an obsenity.
So the abswer would be a positive maybe.

The banana motif in your question is obviously a manifestaton of a childhood trauma, caused by something or other.
For £200 an hour, a good analyst should be able to discover the cause within a year or two. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I've just decided I'm gonna try my best not to obsessively burn everything I have to DVD anymore.
My internet connection is pretty slow (5mbps DSL is all I can get), so a long time ago, I decided that "if I'm going to take the time to download it, I might as well burn it to disc". At 20 cents per blank DVD-R, why not?
Moving forward...not so much. For years I've been paying $20 for a spindle of 100 blank DVDs, and they're only getting harder and harder to find at that price, thanks I believe to this lovely tax copyright levy on blank media we have here in Canada, that is causing discs to be more and more expensive over time.
Whereas spinning drives are getting larger and cheaper. It's now cheaper, per GB, to buy hard drives than blank DVDs.
How late to this party am I?

I haven't burnt a CD or DVD in ooooh, 5 or more years.
Everything goes on my NAS: 4 off 4TB HDD in RAID 5, giving me about n12TB of "protected" storage.
And I don't have to hunt through a stack of DVDs going "which bloody one is it on?"

That's also part of why I'm making the move.
I'm fairly well organized, and I've been using a cataloging app for probably over a decade, which can show me the exact content of a disc without having to insert it (it retrieves all file properties and can present the content pretty much as if I was looking at the file system in Explorer)...but for reasons I won't get into, that data file got corrupt without me realizing it, and I backed it up over my good backup, and the monthly rotating backup before that... 
I do have a NAS...that didn't keep me from burning stuff to disc however.

For the same reason, I copied all my music CDs to the hard disk.
Over the years, my CD collection grew to a couple thousand albums, and I spent an increasing amount of time searching back and forth for this and that piece of music - especially when I know that I have got another version of the same piece, but I don't remember which artist made it. Nowadays, when I buy a new CD (yes, I still do!) I play it once, ripping it to the hard disk. Thanks to the online CD databases (such as CDDB), accessed by the ripping program, the file name usually reflects the work title, available for ordinary file search.
I am so old fashioned that I want to keep the CD as a backup. Young people don't see why. I even used to burn CD copies of the radio plays etc. that I have recorded. The only reason why I don't do that any more is that my archives are so full of material that I don't do much recording!

Yeah got a couple of external HDD's. Consider that even dirt cheap 1 TB = 250 DVD's and a lot cheaper.
avoid getting too many though, otherwise same thing .... which one is it on again?, which was the last one?
My suggestion: get 2 - 3 in different colors, more than enough.
Also upgraded desktop internal to SSD (also to cheap to ignore), left the 1G HDD in there for automated backups, and finally a recovery bootable thumb drive - what else is needed?
In fact while ago shrunk the desktop box and pulled out the DVD-RW. (Then threw it away, temporarily put it on the floor, along came of the daughters birds and literally shat on it on what looked like a sensitive moving part - ya can't house train birds.)

I'll get as many as needed to hold everything, and they'll be identified with a simple sticker - 01A, 01B, 02A, 02B, 03A, 03B, etc. I'm already into the habit of buying drives in pairs.
The A's are going to be the primary drives, the B's the corresponding backups. I'm really hoping the digit part isn't going to grow to 99...

When you say you buy drives in pairs, you don't mean that you buy two identical drives from the same seller/manufacturer, do you? It's not uncommon to have two drives that fail within a couple weeks of each other if you do this.
|
|
|
|

I keep hearing that, and while I'm sure there's absolutely some truth to that, what options, in terms of manufacturers, exist today?
Most of the drives I buy are WD. I'd rather take a chance and get two of theirs from the same batch than giving Seagate any money.

Yes.
I made a resolution to put more things off about 40 years ago, and I haven't got around to making another since then.

TBH I never make new year solutions either. I just posted the whole thing just to get an idea how many people have stopped burning DVDs altogether.

Is It too early to bring up new year resolutions? I could say the exact same thing about my lunch, although with more sincerity.
