A lot of data can be reacquired through other channels if lost – inquiring with your bank over past financial records as an example. Pictures and home videos I hold with the utmost value and create multiple backups for if lost, it’s almost impossible to get them back. Something to keep in mind when looking for storage solutions. Perhaps multiple hard drives for multiple backs ups or even an additional cloud storage to compliment your home storage. Food for thought

I go through and put them in a disc and a flash drive every once in a while, as well as the back up. I know all these technologies could become obsolete, but when that happens I’ll just have to transfer them to whatever the new improved thingy is.

Delivery/postal people make questionable decisions all the time.

My friend just had a coffee table delivered yesterday ... she's handicapped and by the time she got to the door, the postal delivery guy had left the long, heavy box propped directly against the outside door so she couldn't even open it to yell at him as he jumped in his truck and drove off. Took her about half an hour to work the door open enough to lower the upper end of the box to the ground, push it to the side to open the door all the way, and eventually drag the box inside ... just in time for an exhausted cab ride to her doctor's appointment. Boy, was she .......
This is why I decided to have my door open inward when I had it replaced a couple of years ago.

Well, this, and snow.

Try downloading and running CrystalDiskInfo. It's a hard drive testing program...it uses various different tests which then can point to drive failure and other problems. It'll certainlt tell you if your drive is on its last legs :)

Download
There are three editions. Which to choose?

I am at 65 now. I should be at 300 in two weeks.
I started with 6 flavors, oh so sure that is ALL I would ever need :lol:. I’m at @250 now.... I’m pretty sure this is endless. There’s still flavors I probably need.

That's how it started for me. I am afraid to even look at new recipes and the ordering spree they might bring.

No matter how many you have, you’ll inevitably be missing one, and it can’t be subbed.

Then stay away from here....Random DIY mixing and More. Too many good recipes! I have about a dozen I regularly mix (mostly from the thread), but I get lured in by new recipes. My to-try stack looks like an IRS agents desk on April 16th. I vaped the same 3 flavors for 10+ years. Perfectly happy. Then I got infected with diy. It is, by the way, incurable.

Eggggzactly. Oh look, I have two marshmallows but the recipe calls for FA marshmallow which I don't have.... Then I read the part by the recipe maker that states, "No other marshmallow can be substituted for FA marshmallow because it gives a certain mouthfeel and makes the banana cream pop".
Just lovely.... so I end up making it anyway with the wrong one all the while wondering, "I bet that other marshmallow tastes so much better".

I have substituted a lot of holy holy ry4 recipes for TPA double ry4 until finally ordering the real deal yesterday.

Some fresh Ni80 quad core fused claptons for my Kali RDA.

And some of my all time favorite ADV. I wonder what it would cost to install a pipeline from NY to my vape lair for this stuff.

I plowed through my bottle of Frosty Science Banana in four days on the same build. I just recently got into Ni80 claptons, the ramp up time is so much better than the kanthal claptons I've tried in the past. Those kanthal ones had me thinking claptons were overrated... so glad Ni80 came into my life.

I do think my bad experience with the kanthal ones were due to poor wire choice. I'm still going to use Ni80 solely going forward though..
