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.

Having done exactly 0 research, I going to assume it’s one of those “DO NOT PRESS OKAY UNLESS YOU ARE EXPERIENCED AND KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING” and someone went “pffft I know what I’m doing. click now what does this option do…”

It would have cost you nothing to not post this.

nothing!

Haven’t I suffered enough?

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.

The difference between “cooking” and “hobby cooking” :

It kind of reads like the thought process of someone who just woke up, too.

The patriot act says hi.

Along with like… Half the shift from 2001-2005.

And if we keep going we will be here all day.

I’m thinking of River Tam, from Firefly.

Whether she can or can’t do that is still debatable, but she did tell Jayne she could. And she can read minds, so it’s not entirely out of the question…

And she can kill you with her brain.

Can confirm, am man, have shaved legs and stubble sucks ass and pops up too often to bother.

Does feel nice when smooth though.

Weird, because historically gun control happens when white people get scared a black man has the same rights as them.

Just ask Dredd Scott v Sanford , or Ronald Reagan.

1: Riker has a “rub one out” policy before he makes big decisions now, it took 3 interventions just to get him to that point.

B- I just lost the game…

so I thought it was a real instrument

… It is a real instrument. Like over 5,000 years old.

It’s the “Burning other magic rocks” party.
