I cut my elbow on the metal shielding of an external hard drive once. I was watching a movie on my laptop in bed (lockdown times) and forgot my hard drive disconnected. My stupid "she'll be right, nobody's ever died from a hard drive" logic prevailed and I didn't clean it properly and it got infected (just minor, luckily)
Silicon-based lifeforms are fun to think about, but if we find extraterrestrial life I guarantee it'll be carbon-based. The bonds between silicon are so weak, so easily broken, while carbon is insanely stable. It's bonds are strong in comparison.
Though, with how fast the Universe, spacetime, is expanding, it is likely we will only find other life within our solar system. Or we make a generation starship. But if we did that, then I imagine tech would progress to the point that by the time the first generation starship arrives at it's destination, newer ships will have already arrived.

I'm clearly not watching enough sci-fi/ not sciency enough, but my mental image of 'silicon-based life' is a silicon spatula with googly eyes.
The Andromeda Strain movie was about silicon life forms

Time to make lists of stuff to do and spend the next few weeks doing them. Got so much catching up to do from when I was ill. :)
Shit neighbours are having a loud bluey outside.
Time to go out there and glare at them.
Yes, I've done it before.
Yes, they're scared of me.
My neighbour had been doing tons of loud renos at all hours for months . He seems to have stopped the past week or so. Thankfully.
Other neighbours were starting to shout at him ๐ฌ
Oi! Knock it off ya feral cunts!
More like 'Shut the fuck up, or I'll fuck you both up'
They got the message.
Ooooo let me translate that for you into bogan.
Garn which one of you cunts wants a knuckle sammich? Who wants to smell the cheese?
I'm okay with boganese.
They're very brave until they get close enough to judge the size difference.
Got a 'Sorry mate, we're alright' from it.
The dude looked genuinely worried that his arse was mine.
Methinks we're friends now.
