When I grew up, we were "free range kids".

They've recovered half a billion in the first year.

I have the same question, mainly because it seems like the Plex interface is trying too hard to show stuff that's not on my local server.

My dad was in WWII in the Pacific and drew Kilroy for me when I was wee lad.

I think it'd be personal preference.

Reminds me of the quote:

"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years."

In MSSQL, you can do a BEGIN TRAN before your UPDATE statement.

Then if the number of affected rows is not about what you'd expect, doing a ROLLBACK would undo the changes.

If the number of affected rows did look about right, doing a COMMIT would make the changes permanent.

That post title brings back memories:

It was 1981 and my mom was having a hard time getting over the passing of my dad. So for a while, I occasionally took her to the movies.

One Saturday, I took her to see "Heavy Metal".

She watched attentively with nary a comment.

Afterwards, I expected her to say something about it, given its mature content.

And, as we were passing through the lobby, she did:

"That was a cartoon."

This was my first non-OS Microsoft purchase.

The most fun thing I did with it was to write a "war dialer" inspired by the 1983 movie "War Games".

It had a "graphical" screen where one could enter a telephone area code, an exchange, and starting and ending numbers, then it would command the modem to dial each number in sequence.

It would log the call results as "no answer", "busy", "voice", or "data".

Good memories...

I'm curious about how that roller conveyor factors into the scene

In the mid 80's, a friend that worked in a hospital was telling about unusual names. My favorite:

Syphilis (SUH-fill-ess) - the word was on the mother's chart, she liked it as a variant of "Phyllis", and thusly named her baby.

I've seen that before. Developer not reaching the film was the culprit. Likely the film was "dented in" on the developing reel letting adjacent layers touch each other.

I carried a small evergreen Christmas tree home on my bike once. Once.
