When we bought our house, all the appliances were new. The roof was “recently” re-shingled and the HVAC wasn’t new, but was in good condition. I said to my wife that is was great but everything was going to fail at the same time.

In the past 3 years we’ve replaced:

1. Roof
2. Fence
3. Garage door opener
4. Dishwasher
5. Clothes washer
6. HVAC
7. Plumbing drain to sewer

The answer will be that these assholes are part of our club, so we’ll be happy to throw money at them. Rich people have class solidarity that would make a Marxist blush.

Used to be me. I ran Debian Unstable for years. Got tired of it breaking. I installed Stable probably 7 or 8 years ago and never looked back.

I’ve literally done rm -rf / while root. I thought I was elsewhere and did rm -rf . and I was in the top level directory. When it took way longer than I expected, I hit CTRL+C about 10 times and looked at the damage. Oops.

Luckily it didn’t get to /home, but it did wipe out /bin and /etc. I had to rebuild the OS. I learned.

That was my number in high school football.

Lacock loves beavers.

I told my psychiatrist that the most depressing thing in the world is that I’ll never be done with laundry. She lingered for a beat and then said…“yeah…”

And Slackware is no clothes at all.
