I wonder if perhaps repeated COVID infections contribute to people's mental decline that is similar to age-related mental issues.

Most of you will instantly recognize the 10-second slide whistle loop Steven Stapleton sampled from “The Oimels” for a Nurse With Wound song, but this album isn’t goofy like that.

Looks like the Nintendo Switch limits you to 10,000 screenshots stored on the micro SD card, regardless of how much free storage space is available. That sounds like a lot, and I suppose it is a lot, but somehow my daughter and I hit that limit in the span of just a little over 21 months.
In the 3.5 years before that, we'd done about 7,800 screenshots, moved to an alternative subdirectory.
