Had bought biz class Lenovos for the family for years for this reason. Very easy to replace keyboard, touchpad, etc or to upgrade memory and ssd
It seems the quest for thinness (which I absolutely could not care less about) has pushed them into soldering everything to the motherboard. Like Apple. #sigh
Sigh. Work up to eyeballs. Wouldn't have heard about the "drama" were it not for Joe. I've been asked by some who also didn't know. And what happens at the next one if this happens. Should we all just run our own instances. I hate bigots X-phobes etc, but also cancelling everyone on an instance doesn't seem particularly great either, again, who may not even be aware. But yeah I can't even begin to look into this for a couple of weeks so there we go. #sigh #ironicGifChoiceGivenWhoGlinnerIs
@aroundthehills I would if I had an internet connection #StillWaiting #GhostOrders #Sigh
#OurHouseIsOnFire but there’s a Kickstarter campaign for a cute plastic cat that can blow on the flames to stop it, so we’re gonna be alright!

So nice to have someone in the waiting room coughing right in your face. Coughing into your elbow never really caught on here #sigh
Andy, that's not true.
Not click bait. Just wait for the ending.
Always nice to call and get an answering machine that tells you that opening hours are until <now+10 minutes>… #sigh
The biggest issue is that my uploader looks OK, and literally the only thing it doesn't do so far is the upload.
I feel that I can not stop at this point. #sigh
What would my American literary heroes of the 70s and 80s make of their country now? I imagine they’d at least be making some noise, in one form or another. But there are no more authors like that and there’s no literary public.
If a Republican claims to be a Christian and, in my presence, proceeds to denigrate a Trans person (i.e., all Trans people), I will call you out for being the bigoted Christian Nationalist you are! I'm sick of this shit! Trans people are NOT a "problem" nor are their lives any of your fucking business! All human beings are the children of God and should be treated with dignity and respect. That's what I learned growing up in the church...sort of. I was in the Deep South during the 60s & 70s, so at least I learned the truth at home, but I digress. All people just want to live their lives, but Trans people, I guess, aren't people in the small minds of bigots. I will NOT stay silent when so-called Christians or anyone denigrates and says negative and unkind things about the Trans community. I will call your ass out no matter where we are because I have HAD IT!! STFU, leave Trans people alone, and get a life, preferably outside of MAGA. End rant. #Rant #FuckMaga #Sigh #SickOfBigotry #StandUpSpeakOut
Pete "Oh i'm not really a serious gamer. I just game casually...."
the same Pete who just spent 2 hours writing a custom python script integrated into the windows shell that will backup then update all the mods in his custom Minecraft modpack, run said pack, intercept any version errors, parse the error log for offending files, roll back said mods and repeat until it gets to the stage where the modpack is stable with the latest possible selection of interacting mods...
#Sigh I need help.
Welp, 2nd night in rehab: MIL wouldn't stay in bed, so they brought her out in wheelchair to keep an eye on her. Attendant was away for a bit, so MIL got up, and of course she fell again. Says she's not hurt, but I guess we'll know tomorrow when dr. comes by.
#sigh
Call from the past: This week I was contacted about k-delayed tree-local MCTAGs, a formalism I proposed with David Chiang in 2008 
Sadly, both I and the field at large have moved on, but it is so nice to see that someone still gets value out of this

Sometimes I'm sad about what passes for banana pudding these days.
<old person> In MY day, the pudding was cooked, it actually had bananas in it, there was real meringue on top! </old person>
These days we're lucky to get banana flavored pudding (no actual bananas) and some anemic whipped topping. #sigh

Was looking at real estate, and saw this cute little cubby built-in under a staircase, clearly intended for a child and all I could think was "man, is that perfect for a dog!"
Sorry I'm Nasty
