Nope.
It's not "Scrotum" either, just in case ...

I was out to dinner so I haven't had much time (my excuse and I'm sticking to it).
I was working off antipodeans being "diametrically opposed" rather than a group of islands or a group of modern artists.
I want to say academy, but I can't get the link. So I'm guessing I'm way off again.
Edit:
other than academy is contained in diametrically.

You are a long way away - see the "Solution" post above.

My SO just stopped and said, "You weren't even listening, were you?"
I thought to myself, what a strange way to start a conversation.

Seems you, ZurdoDev[^], and OriginalGriff[^] are all married to the same person.

Well, I wanted to award you a 'bandaid" icon but, since it is lacking, the next best things was a 'beer' icon, not only because it can also relieves the impending injuries to some extent but also because it, too, begins with 'b' .

In short: The manufacture of coasters.
Some months ago I bought an Asus external BlueRay / DVD / CD burner certified to burn M-Discs of all varieties. So I bought a 25 stack of BlueRay M-disk DVDs.
With my hopes high, I tried a few times to use the Windows internal DVD burner to do 25GB M-discs. Every single one turned out to be a useless coaster! Windows would take 20+ minutes to burn the disc, only to report "there was a problem. The disc may be unusable!" or words to that effect.
So I tried to burn the BlueRay M-discs with a 12 year old version of Roxio, that came out in the days of XP! No sweat, Roxio burnt the discs without any errors.
Considering the millions of coasters MS Windows must have produced over the years, MS should consider entering the coaster business!
And don't tell me I should rather backup to flash drives! I'm a DVD man! 
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

I read that CDs degrade over a few decades, which surprised me, so DVDs might be the same. The best medium for truly long-term storage might be stone or papyrus!
Eventually, it will be almost impossible to buy DVDs or a DVD drive. But a decade later, a retro movement will bring them back into fashion.

I'm for stone, pyramids been around forever. Only problem is trades people, stone work is a lost art.
I wonder if you could teach monkeys to do it...just a thought.

Whatever happened to pencil and paper?
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

True, but pyramids don't say anything. Mayan hieroglyphics! The history of their decipherment is interesting and comparatively recent.

No Egyptian hieroglyphics do tell stories and some very interesting. Mayan hieroglyphics are also very interesting.
