A joke that doesn't get repeated virally isn't a meme.

For which there is some evidence [1] that you are less likely to be involved in an accident doe to external causes when not wearing a helmet than when wearing one - in essence the same effect that helmet wearing has on the cyclist (taking greater risks) it also has on drivers passing cyclists.

Ignoring the joke that you were replying to, no it isn't.
"A small portion of the hypogea was opened to the public in 2016."
I've visited twice, and on the more recent occasion we found one of the few tours that offered this as part of the tour.

Also in the immediate vicinity. Who knew there were so many of us! (And only those who have seen this on a Sunday & bothered to comment.)
Perhaps a mini meet-up is in order? :)

You might consider checking whether what you have fills any gaps in the Internet Archive's collection. You would still be able to keep / sell the disks – they only need a copy of the bits.

Because he works as a rigger / repairer in the entertainment lighting industry, he has an unfortunate fixation with simple lighting devices. There are so many other interesting simple electronic devices he could explore. I used to subscribe, but got bored after too many Poundland LED lights.
His format is great, and he can certainly break it down well, but the content needs more variety.

Let's not confuse Personally Identifiable Information (PII) the US definition, with Personal Data, the EU definition. From the UK ICO [1] "Personal data is information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. (Emphasis mine.)
So, if it is possible to correlate the personal data with other records that identify an individual (whether by you or a third party with whom the data is shared) it is personal data.
Full disclosure: I work for Veritas Technologies, which, among many other things, provides technologies that help companies find, filter and take action on PII and personal data. Opinions shared here are my own, and do not necessarily represent the views of my employer.

You mention comic-like - for charts (as opposed to diagrams), XKCD has been a source of inspiration for a more casual style.
Here's one example: http://xkcdgraphs.com/ (there are plenty of others if you search for them).

Consider yourself fortunate that they were covered at all. In some schools those are taboo subjects, as they conflict with the religious ethos.

When development of v1 started, JSS was the only solution that (with some tweaking) met all the needs of component library (as opposed to say, an application), as well as being one of the most performant.
The thread that this comment[1] is in is where it all starts, but the repo and presentation linked from that comment should give the answers. At least as a snapshot at that point in time).
