I wanted a clip for our cat's wet food so it would stay fresh longer after opening since he doesn't eat a whole pack every time we feed him. I went to order something but then realized "I have a 3d printer" so.. here we are. It works well.

I think I am going to change the time for my time-lapse though. It goes by a little too fast.

Lol! I think a backup or two at the bank will be good enough for what I need. The most valuable data I have are scanned hi-res images from all of the family negatives and prints going back to when early cameras were available and my family had one. I have a few tin types too but no idea who is in those pictures.

Fascinating stuff. I've seen some of these b/w pictures all of my life, but when you clean and scan the negatives, Photoshop them to improve detail, contrast, lighting ... what a difference! So many details the old printed photos did not contain. I really got a kick out of that effort. My scanner is a Canon 9000F with 9600x9600 dpi. I bought it especially for this task.

Yeah, to me data like that is not replicable so I would want it anywhere I could put it with documentation on how to get to it if I am not around anymore.

Some things can be lost to time just because you forgot where you put it. Who knows when a great, great, great grandchild might want to see what you looked like or where you lived and know a bit more about you?

Assuming you have kids, I don't but want them.

I don't have any kids (that I know of lol!) I'm the end of the line, I was too focused on my career and not enough on the ltr's I've had. Kicking myself now. I could have been married to a real sweetheart 40 years ago. And another about 32 years ago. And a couple of others as potential runners up. Pretty tough finding someone I''d be crazy over now.

It is what it is. These pictures are mostly for my own enjoyment, I share the pictures with cousins from my mom's side when they or their ancestors/relatives are in the picture. I don't think anyone is interested in my Dad's side except me.

It might be hard as fuck to find someone willing but men can have kids even into their 70's. Just putting that out there.
