"I value this gesture. (Note, that i didn't specify *how much*.)"

It has been raining all week. From a refreshing drizzle, to a most beautiful downpour... Oh, Mother, why must you spoil me so.

When rainfall comes, the wise driver assumes every other driver blind.

Bleh! This medicine tastes like medicine!

Booting an unattended office computer into a recovery shell from a live USB to modify a LUKS container to allow decryption on lower-end hardware. If anyone saw me right now, they would (rightfully) conclude i was "hacking".

In retrospect, naming my workstation after the AI from Doom was tempting fate. At least, that's what i would have said if i was superstitious; Thankfully, i'm not.

"Good morning. If it is, indeed, either of those."

An intellectual's version of getting hammered to drown your sorrows is binge gaming on someone else's console.

"When am i going to get better?... I'm tired of being sick. Being unable to sing sucks."

Third week of Barely Anything Useful Done, courtesy of a fried motherboard on an uncommonly-found laptop, which used to serve as my primary workstation. The only consolation is that i have the Hard Disk Where All the Data is (HDWAD) and can, therefore, start over as soon as the repair shop finishes soldering, whenever (if ever) that may be.

"That's easy for you to say; And that is, indeed, exactly what you are doing."

That frightening moment when you realize that your home partition, set to remount read-only on error, did, in fact, remount read-only.

The good part about having a strong preference towards text-based interfaces, is being able to access your data even if all you have at hand is a recovery shell on a USB stick.

"This toothbrush is way overpriced. Just how much can one toothbrush possibly- (sees dental bill) ...I'll take the whole box."

The most troubling thing about the tech company whose business model is built around making its users angry, is its uncanny ability to make people angry whether or not they have an account with it, and even if they are actively avoiding it.

One day, i'm going to figure out the tendency of my computers to break down on Friday, maximizing the time i'm forced to spend without access to what is effectively my exocortex.

That money corrupts sounds like it would be a very convenient narrative to push by those, who have all the money and intend to keep it that way.
