Tuned into a live streaming video which will come out as a podcast. It's cold & I have the electric throw rug over my shoulders & am toasty warm.
@streakmachine And still quite viable with 6 GiB of RAM & a 240 GiB SSD instead of the old 5400 rpm HD. That was a real bottleneck to performance.

@sumudu My first response is to ask if there is/was a backup strategy. Then, if not, why not?
@matigo No. Envious, perhaps, not jealous. Here's a list of what's currently in my collection:

@hazardwarning I was visiting a car museum in a location 5 towns east of the one my mother lives in. There's an ALDI store in the next one along from Mum's. My dear mother always feels the cold terribly & when I visited today she was in her armchair with a thin blanket over her & the room heating up high.
I'd bought another heated throw rug for her & she really appreciated it.
@streakmachine Looking like I'll have another Pismo G3 PowerBook in a couple of days.
Earlier today I was thinking it’d be nice if I could get a heated throw rug somewhere. Then I checked the Aldi app on the phone to see what specials were available today.
Gotta be a fluke.
On sale today was just that, an electrically heated throw rug.
Normally take NSAID meds as part of pain management but I’ve been told to avoid that while the sutures are still in. So it’s plain paracetamol for pain relief, I can’t metabolise codeine into anything useful.
Part of yesterday’s pipe repair operation had me making space by knocking down long grass with a line trimmer. And it’s not done my back any good at all. Much pain in the left lumbar region. That plus sciatica meant tonight’s ? game was difficult. Didn’t do any good at all.
