At least you did post an excellent meme because of the painful, terrible event.
That’s why you buy a thinkpad - mine dropped several times down. Just a bit clippedy dew and a restart and everything is fine, again.
The stairs after I dropped my Thinkpad down them
What’s the context of the original picture? That guy seems like he isn’t having a great time.
“Ivan the Terrible and his son Ivan”
“It depicts the grief-stricken Russian tsar Ivan the Terrible cradling his dying son, the Tsarevich Ivan Ivanovich, shortly after the elder Ivan had dealt a fatal blow to his son’s head in a fit of anger. The painting portrays the anguish and remorse on the face of the elder Ivan and the gentleness of the dying Tsarevich, forgiving his father with his tears.”

It’s one of my favorite paintings
Many thanks. That being said, “forgiving his father with his tears” big ole X on that one
It’s really hard to see in this image, but they’re definitely there in higher definition pictures
I think they were referring to the younger Ivan crying because he’s in pain, not because he’s forgiving his father.
It’s just a flesh wound
Let’s hope it’s a framework laptop and you can just buy replacement parts.
A lot of higher end credit cards also include protection against this kind of thing as well.
Renters insurance is your friend. Might be a good idea to look into, it’s cheap af and covers things like this.
Don’t you have to pay a deductible with renters insurance?
You do, but its generally a lot less than repairs or a new laptop. I’ll give you my example… My laptop is a 2021 Razer 14 The power port had a broken connector on the inside, and since the way it was made the port was part of the motherboard, the repairs for that power port were going to be over $1700 on a $2300 laptop.
Renters insurance was definitely the less painful option. Just one of those things that may only be useful on rare occasions, but when it is, it really is.
That’s the reason why my laptop has a big dent by the hinge. I do plan on getting that fixed eventually.

Oh no! OP, I’m so sorry for your loss!
Imagine being so mentally handicapped you drop expensive shit down the stairs 💀
Yes I am sure you have never made any mistakes in your life before
Absolutely. Unlike you, your mother made a massive one giving birth to you. I can only begin to imagine her devastation when she sees the nasty goblin she produced
