Don’t mess around with partitions on your disk when it’s past midnight, you’re extremely stressed, and you don’t have (easily accessible) backups.

Yeah, all I did do right was have Windows on a USB. That’s important because I don’t have another Windows machine. Manjaro can be downloaded as a .iso and burned onto a flash drive from any OS, but not so with Windows.

I was doing phyical maintenance on a old laptop of mine where I fried a cable because I plugged the battery in and forgot to plug that cable in but I forgot to unplug the battery before plugging that cable in and ended up frying a cable when plugging it back in

Luckily it was only the cable that got fried

But that’s in the past now

I had to extend the boot drive on a VM that also happened to run the application our entire company used to make products. This was back in the day when extending VM drives took forever because of the way the hypervisor worked. I only had a small window to do this between our Europe plants going offline and the US plants starting up.

So I used a community tool that would extend the drive in seconds. Turn the VM back on and queue “NTLDR is missing”. I also discovered that the backups for that server hadn’t completed successfully in so long there was nothing to restore from. In my effort to save 30-45 minutes, cost me 8 hours completely rebuilding the server and a day of lost production in the US plants.

I never liked taking pictures of friends and family when traveling, cos I could see them anytime I wanted, but the places I was visiting I didn’t plan on going back to.

Comically sad when I found out it was the other way around.

My brother passed away in November - it hit me worse than many losses I’ve experienced. The calm and waves of sadness is so accurate, but nothing can prepare you for it; I spent years preparing for my brother’s death, but it did nothing when it actually happened.

I found out that I could disassemble my vacuum’s dirt container further so I can clear it out easier. The container has a big plastic tube that runs through it and I’ve been squeezing my hand around it to grab clumps of pet hair that get stuck. The other day while I was trying to clear the container, the plastic tube fell out. Turns out I just needed to twist and pull the tube. I’ve had this vacuum for 8 years.

Lmao nice. Here’s a similarly embarrassing story: my refrigerator light was burned out and I was too lazy to replace it for a few years. When I finally got around to it, it turned out I had the exact replacement bulb in my possession the entire time 🤦. Ofc replacing it also only took ~30 seconds.

If you are a dude sit down to pee when you are home… feels weird for like a day but it is fantastic. No more trying to aim on the middle of the night while trying to close your eyes, no more rouge pee stream, just a like moment to sit and relax.

Rogue: deviant from the norm.

Rouge: a shade of red.

If your pee is rouge when you stand, you need to see your doctor.

I do notice though that when trying to pee sitting, I don’t get everything out. A lot of times, I stand up afterwards and still get some more out

Some men feel emasculated by the idea of sitting to pee. Really guys? I wonder what goes on in the privacy of their bathrooms, when they’re pinching the proverbial loaf. Do they stand up to pee and sit to pass? Of course not. :: Sitting to pee is what you do if you want to keep the toilet area clean. You can be a big strong man and still be a sitzpinkler.

I will play devil’s advocate and argue that it’s just more convenient the same way a urinal is convenient. Not sitting down saves time. That’s all.
