Yeah. “My boy from the bar, the one with the anime girl car…” or whatever is how my stories to my wife would go. If told to a general audience the pii would be removed.

Has to be forced perspective from leaning forward

Oh shit I love that song. I might go through his hits and see if there are more I like. My parents didn’t listen to that kind of music and by the mid to late 90s that style seemed old to my kid/preteen ears. I found one Springsteen song I liked over the years, The Ghost of Tom Joad, but never connected with the wider body of work.

Apropos of nothing my thoughts on Mellencamp were always perfectly encapsulated by The Hold Steady’s lyric in Stevie Nix “…you remind me of Rod Stewart when he was young You’ve got passion and you think that you’re sexy and all the punks think that you’re dumb” but that’s just because I was an obnoxious young punk once upon a time. Thanks for the recommendation.

Oh yeah. He’s the one that sang that Diddy about jack and Diane. In my mind they are from the same generation but that may not even be the case.

Can’t you export your library / media settings and only have to change file paths or mnt points?

I’m adding debian to the drive on a ten plus year old laptop as we speak. It’s taking forever because I have to do part of it manually but usually it takes less than an hour and is mostly idiot proof (my current project is on its 3rd week so I am just a special kind of idiot) but a small lightweight distro alongside the windows partition is an easy way to give old hardware new life without migrating data.

Impressive but disgusting
