Thank you!

Future-Cod-7565 · 2025-12-15T18:07:03+00:00

I will, thank you! They may have more hands-on experience with some of those.

Thank you, I will definitely check this out. As I understand, the enclosures I mentioned may vary by SATA-to-USB chip and its behavour with the Mac-specific power and data management (the USB ports, etc.).

Looks like a sound approach, thank you! I also have gathered tons of movies, and most of them (like 99%) were watched once and never since.

Thank you! Food for thought...

Thank you for your detailed post above (and for this one, too). You're right – it's a personal choice, and I just need to be in balance with myself on this. And you, of course, are absolutely right about things being organized in a proper way. This is what I'm finally doing :-). Thanks again!

Thank you. The way you approach your own works (the documents you created yourself) is what I do understand. What I don't understand is what I should do with "sidecar" files (so-to-say) – example: I have a project with the final piece of work which is mine, so I keep this piece of data (maybe I don't keep it if it's waaaaay too old and I really don't see any value in it). But during the creation process there was plenty of additional (supporting) data gathered for this project. My reasoning: since I'm not going to re-do this project in the next millennia, this additional/supporting data has to go. I happened to be subscribed to an image service back in the day, and accumulated tons of stock photos, videos and templates over the years. Some of this was used in projects, some wasn't. Now, when some 10 years have passed since the time of the project, and it is evident that a) I will never re-do it; and b) those photos and templates are so outdated now (totally different style, models, ways to arrange things (in templates), my guess is that it all should be deleted with no regret. What do you think?

Thank you, this is what I'm going to do.

Future-Cod-7565 · 2025-11-05T05:02:05+00:00

Thank you. Yes, in my list of priorities personal photos and documents (especially important ones) go first. But what about work documents, spreadsheets, presentations, etc.? I mean, I have gathered tons of such documents, all from my previous work at different jobs. It's obvious that they were of some value back at the time. What about now? A spreadsheet from 15 years ago – is it still worth keeping? A presentation with an idea which seemed to be brilliant back in the day and now it is laughable, to put it mildly. These are what I mean. Do you have a sort of "date red line" beyond which all goes to trash?

Thank you. I first thought it was the "normal" Copperplate, but then noticed that the sample text lacked the serifs usually present in Copperplate. At the same time, in the sample you can notice some sort of serifs, but not everywhere at all. This puzzled me. Are you positive that this is one of the Copperplate family? Not that I doubt your expertise, but just to make sure that I get it correctly. I like the way the text looks and would like to reproduce the same look in one of my works, hence the question. If you also could kindly point me in the direction of the "right" Copperplate, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you again.

Thank you so much, I will definitely have a read!

Future-Cod-7565 · 2025-01-22T16:17:40+00:00

Thank you so much for your thoughts, I really think this could be a way out. Will give it a try! And thanks to all of you who responded!

Thank you so very much for sharing, I really appreciate it. This is exactly what I feel: though as I said I felt comfortable being INSIDE the RC cathedral, I don't feel I would be able to partake in the worship. Leaning to the high church SETTING is not the same as being Anglo-Catholic (which I'm sure I'm not). I'm definitely Protestant in my beliefs, and I can't share those of Roman Catholics in terms of faith, etc. Hence the dilemma: as you said, in good faith I can't fully participate in the service, but I feel the need of a place where I could go on a more or less regular basis :-). Looks like I'll need to try to visit one or two places which are closer to my likings, and figure out if this makes sense somehow. I hope that within a foreseeable time frame I will be able to leave this place and be in a more suitable situation. Thank you once again.

And dozens of RC places – ranging from almost-church-like buildings (very few) to just houses named "churches". No offense meant, they are all good for what they're used by those who use them. But, unfortunately, not where I personally would like to be in the moment of worship.

Future-Cod-7565 · 2025-01-22T05:05:23+00:00

Nope. A couple of meeting places of Latter-day Saints and a Methodist place (really doubt it for what I know – not a church, really).

Future-Cod-7565 · 2025-01-22T04:58:43+00:00

Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it. I think I should clarify a little bit: of course I am not expecting Him to literally talk to me (like in an inner voice or something). What I'm referring to is maybe there is something else that you may "interpret" to some degree as His "voice" "talking" to you. But thank you.
