"I carried my equipment out to the car"

Vs

"I schlepped all my brothers' crap out to the car again"

THIS! RIGHT HERE!

When I was young and naive about digital things, I had NO BACKUP

One day I got a new laptop. Yay me. Transfer all the data from my old hard drive using some jank-ass local network setup because young and dumb about tech still.

Six months go by, and my new laptop shit itself. Still no idea what happened, but it BSODd and a factory reset got it working again.

I still had my old laptop, so after about a week of searching on forums and reading everything I could find about how to build a pc, how laptop internals compare, data transfers, and literally anything I could so I could pull the old hard drive out without damaging anything and get at least some of my data without issue...

I lost 6 months of new stuff on a much more capable laptop, but it's better than losing EVERYTHING.

It’s the eternal pointless chase for a meaning that was never there and never will.

So.... Life.

I legitimately thought she had died on my first watch, and that the crew were basically raising Naomi as a village.

Star Trek didn't do recurring characters very well... Except Q and Lwaxana.

It would have cost you nothing to not post this.

nothing!

Haven't I suffered enough?

because he’s gonna be set for life.

Lolololololol no

He will sue, the state will settle for 20mil and then quietly cancel the settlement payment after people move on from the story.

That's what they always do.

"meet me in the middle", says the Unjust Man.

If I die without saving someone else in the process I lose a bet.

And ma didn't raise a loser.

I can hate both.

The CEO just lets me add a face to the ire.

Jokes on you, my knife cost me $40 in steel, wood, brass, and sanding belts because I make my OWN knives for my cooking.

You know, I think I might just have two hobbies and one saved me money on the other....

In my experience most adults can boil pasta.

... And boil it.... And boil it..... And DEAR GOD TAKE IT OFF THE STOVE AND DRAIN IT BEFORE IT BECOMES MUSH!

"throwing together a quick meal" should have it's own word.

"cooking" to me implies you're working on something worth the time it takes, something you want to put effort into.

But when I just got home, nothing is easy to make and I have to throw something quick together, it doesn't feel like really cooking to me. Like im half assing it, it should have a half-assed name.
