Today, I accompanied my wife and daughter to the ballet.
Yes... willingly... we watched "The Wizard of Oz"; the evil witch was well done, the costume helped to build the character.
My wife's favorite scene was "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" as the dancers moved about in pastel dresses with matching kerchiefs.
I enjoyed the scenes with the flying monkeys; artistic (not flying, but well danced) and I was wondering how they would accomplish that.
My daughter enjoyed it much more than "The Nutcracker"... and I think we've filled out ballet quota for the year!
How many man points did I earn/lose for spending the day with my family on an activity my wife picked?

Another thing you should do since wife/daughter like this stuff - catch Les Misérables if you can. In fact, I'd put that on my bucket list.

Why would you think you would lose any points doing something like that? Showed love to your wife and child and sounds like you actually enjoyed yourself. Real man stuff there and your daughter will always remember.
We went a couple of weeks ago because my 20 year old's girlfriend was in the chorus singing for Carmina Burana. I found out where Sean Hannity (political pundit on the radio and Fox News channel here in America) gets his music from.

Ooohhh, I had to pass this message through moderation as it got flagged by the spam filter. Could you please edit out some of the text so it doesn't read like an ad?
Yes, I know @OriginalGriff started this by linking to the item on Amazon, but he didn't include the seller's name or anything.

I took out the middle man's name, but I still think it is interesting that the price is higher, even though it doesn't even come from A___zon.

Not the first - we had one guy here a year or so ago got ransomed. He paid, they sent a key, which didn't work. He complains, they want more money ...
Take backups. Regularly. Remove the media from the PC when it's done, and don't use that one for the next backup.
If you get ransomware, reformat, and reload from backups. Do not pay anything - if people stop paying, they will stop ransoming. As long as some do, they will continue. It really is that simple!

Yes! And I know you include systems drive images in "backups".
I also keep critical data files backed up to DVDs, where they can never get encrypted.

Oh yes - it takes days to get all the apps installed and configured the way I like 'em!
Or an hour to restore a whole disk image. No contest!

I keep all data on a separate, dedicated drive. My systems drive only has the system and all applications. This makes a systems drive image nice and tight - only filled to about 40 GB. Restoring an image for a drive filled to this capacity, takes me all of 12 minutes!

But what happens when it hits and encrypts the OTHER drive.
Your system may be clean, but your data might be toast.

I keep my data on a separate drive installed in the machine. I work on the assumption that the internal drive will be encrypted and will have to be reformatted in case of an attack. I therefore keep all data fully backed up to two external air-gapped drives. Air-gapped: I mean these drives are not normally switched on, or connected to the network or machine. They are never connected at the same time - in fact they are not even connected on the same day! In addition I will from time to time backup really important files to DVDs.
Yes, I know I am paranoid about my little system's security, but believe me, this paranoia has saved my bacon on more than one occasion in the past.
