35000 Days Alive
Here it is!
This is the 13,000 post on this blog and I'm going to use it to complain. Big surprise!
- My laptop updated Firefox (my preferred choice for a web browser) and now when I attempt to upload an image to my blog, as I have done for the duration of using blogger.com to create the 12,999 other posts on this blog.
- However, today, when I selected Upload from computer, I see the following:
The only way I could add graphics to this post was to take a screenshot in SnagIt, edit in SnagIt, and then copying the screenshot and then pasting the graphic in the Blogger editor.
This is going to impact the way I approach writing my blog posts as I have stored JPG files since the beginning of this blog in a folder structure. I am unsure what I'll do if I no longer have the requirement to save the screenshot in order to be uploaded.
Teams Conversation to Word or PDF is Impossible
From this link https://regroove.ca/stellark/2019/07/02/how-to-export-ms-teams-chat-history/
- How to Export Teams Chat History, I was optimistic that I could export a 2 times a week meeting chat to Word (1st choice) or PDF (2nd choice). However, per the comments, I have crashed into a brick wall.

35 Years Ago
The Metallica album And Justice for All is the album I require to always be within my grasp. This article - How ...And Justice For All changed Metallica forever - is from 2018 but it is really a great in-depth analysis of what was happening with the band.

Alive for 20000 Days & 30000 Days
What will life be like when I have been alive for 20000 days? It's only 1051 days (2 years, 10 months, 2 weeks, 2 days) from today so not that far off in the future. My hope is that I am alive and working at the University of Iowa. As of today,
I truly doubt "Blogger.com" will exist when I have been alive for 30000 days (82 years, 1 month, 2 weeks, 5 days) so I'm including when I will be alive for 30000 days, which is (God-willing) when I will be 82
Alive for 20000 Days!
As a reminder, I was 27 years, 4 months, 2 weeks, 3 days old when I reached being alive 10,000 days.
Today, I've been alive for 20,000 days.
If I am lucky enough to live yet another 10,000 days, I will be 82 years, 1 month, 2 weeks, 5 days old, if I am alive on my 30,000th day on Earth.

Pass Common Sense Reforms
I always ask the same question, which is, "What law would have prevented the event?" If the law, which are words on paper, would have prevented it, GREAT! Otherwise, I think passing Common Sense Reforms doesn't make sense.

Generating a Count of Word Occurrences
I reached the end of my knowledge of how to read macro code. In the comments section of the following post, the question was "how do I use the "case" of the word to be included when creating a list of unique words. There are two macros on the post below. I figured out how to edit the first macro to do that, but you have to enter each word individually whereas the 2nd macro automatically scans the entire document and generates a list of unique words. In looking at the macro code for the 2nd macro, I don't know where to specify that the case of the word is a parameter. I hope someone with more knowledge of MS Word macro code reads the post below and takes the time to provide an answer.

10 Rare Metallica Songs Played LIVE - 05:24:35
I looked at this playlist and wanted to know how long would it take for me to watch all 5 videos:
Lucky for me, I discovered a website that allows you to enter the "times" for multiple videos and to then calculate the sum of those times! How Long to watch the 5 Videos in this Playlist Results
The only other thing I want to say about these videos is that Vol I includes "Escape" and despite "Metallica" only playing this tune once, back in 2012, I think it's a great tune! These are the lyrics:
Feel no pain, but my life ain’t easy
I know I’m my best friend
No one cares, but I’m so much stronger
I’ll fight until the end
To escape from the true false world
Undamaged destiny
Can’t get caught in the endless circle
Ring of stupidity
Out for my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can’t see
No need to hear things that they say
Life’s for my own, to live my own way
Rape my mind and destroy my feelings
Don’t tell me what to do
I don’t care now ‘cause I’m on my side
And I can see through you
Feed my brain with your so-called standards
Who says that I ain’t right?
Break away from your common fashion
See through your blurry sight
Out for my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can’t see
No need to hear things that they say
Life’s for my own, to live my own way
See them try to bring the hammer down
No damn chains can hold me to the ground
Life’s for my own, to live my own way
Poor Clock Management
I created this clip from a longer video because it shows the Iowa Hawkeyes losing to the Wisconsin Badgers in Kinnick Stadium due to poor clock management:

Cody Rhodes grants Kevin Owens a match at WWE Bash in Berlin: SmackDown highlights, Aug. 9, 2024
The video sets up the article below. Frankly speaking, I am just not a fan of the friend v friend match, especially when it's Rhodes and Owens. I understand why it makes sense to go there but unless KO is going to turn heel, there's no progression in the storytelling - all it does is make the good guys distrust each other when they are already not in a named alliance.
And here's the article on the match:
