Forget the tapes. This is hard to say but just pay for online storage. It’s $9.99 a month for 2TB from Google and Apple. Your data will be safe and accessable by family if something happens to you. You could also get a cheap NAS like device like this https://a.co/d/dgsnQbr and maybe every couple of months you create a offline backup onto another device.

News@lemmy.world•Costco shuts down shareholders demand to ditch DEI hiring practicesEnglish
591·1 year agoThe worst things about DEI is that it has become politicized. What was once another boring HR policy about being fair at work, is now weapon for idiots it get all upset about.

News@lemmy.world•Starbucks is on the cusp of a major barista strikeEnglish
4·1 year agoBecause they love coffee infused hot milkshakes.
Not perfect but a lot of big box stores offer free shipping. I usually will check Walmart, Best Buy, Target B&H and Google shopping. I’m pretty sure they all offer free shipping after $35. Chewy for animal stuff is really good too. Also check the manufacturer, I recently bought a gift that way and it was cheaper and had more selection options than dumb Amazon.
Careful, that almost sounds not boring.

1·1 year agoOpen office floor layouts are horrible for those that need to get “into the zone” and grind through work. Nothing like being forced to hearing about somebody’s “Epic” drunk’n weekend.

1·1 year agoI swear there are less garbage cans in public areas now than 15 years ago. It’s probably my fault for for doing quick car cleans and dumping at every gas station and retail store.
Side note: garbage is expensive these days
