Yep. I can probably find a bunch, but I made a lot of them myself.

Gonna miss you, custom-made exasperated alfred pennyworth.

Guys, guys, get Google Drive and back things up there regularly. It's free. 15 GB of storage per account.

The HD is what bricked it. Unrecoverable.

I had a HDD brick awhile back and I was able to recover my stuff using the SATA to USB cable to connect it to a different computer and started defraging the crap out of it, also used one of those recovery discs to repair the thing and rebuild the boot sector, and after all that crap I managed to get it going long enough to save my stuff, so there might be hope for your stuff.

...were you a secret bot all along?

Really the name should have been a giveaway

edit: bot, not not

Mega.nz is like...50GB or something and also free. Highly recommend.

Dunamisdeos, at least you still have the llama react.

In just two days time, I will no longer be the answer to life, the universe and everything.

[Frumple]

Only if you let yourself be. If you want to tell everyone you're the answer to the universal question, don't let silly things like physical reality or the passing of time stop you.

... alternatively, look on the bright side: Only a couple more decades before you're the nicest age (and probably too decrepit for it to be anything but an idle joke, ho ho ho)!

You'd be surprised how much sexual harassment the nursing staff in assisted living and nursing facilities have to endure. Gramps a horn bastard and no longer cares about concepts like boundaries and acceptable adult behavior. The dementia doesn't help I'm sure.

Anyway, I have almost no internet connection this weekend because all the partiers by the lake are sucking up all the bandwidth. Labor day is the worst when you live where the tourists show up.

[Frumple]

Oh, not surprised at all about the poor behavior on that front. One I have to deal with at least limits themselves with insisting they have multiple wives and claiming every child they see is their own.

It's just the popsicle probably no longer pops (without potentially fatal pharmaceutical assistance, anyway), so to speak.

My wife is a nurse who had a resident like that, an old guy with that mentality. Never really took it as far as harassment though. Was seen as the facility prankster.

He did go streaking in the hallways once. Kept his socks on and slipped on his ass right in front of the main nurses' station. When they came running to check on him he was naturally laughing, but also apologized and said he definitely deserved it. There was another guy who DID take it too far and started getting nasty, and one of the other residents gave him a black eye over it.

[Eric Blank]

Hah, as long as it was another resident that hit him the facility won't necessarily get sued. Probably have to send the other resident to a different facility or ward, though!

[Bumber]

Had dental work done the other day and my jaw was numbed. Discovered it's possible to feel itchy in an area that's numb, and scratching does absolutely nothing to relieve it.

[Vector]

Bleh, I need a hug. I had to re-up my medication because at 50mg the black dog of depression amid a collapsed healthcare system was too much to handle. And I missed morning class. I'm trying not to beat myself up too much for that but I'm having a hard time.

Here are some happy things:
- Fed chimkins a snack out of my hand this morning.
- Cat came multiple times for a little snüz on my lap. Now he and his brother cat are snüzzing together.
- Figured out how to handle my tithing behemoth -- whenever I lose health in Habitica from not completing necessary tasks, I pay out that amount in USD to one of the orgs/go-fund-mes that I have bookmarked [until tithing is over for the year]. It's the only way I've found so far that doesn't result in me giving away either nothing or just, like, hilarious chunks of change to get the giving over with.
- I am going to eat a sandwich for lunch if I can ever make myself leave the house. Which hopefully I will very soon.

[Gentlefish]

I'm right there with you, Vector. Missed my morning class because I haven't showered for a couple days and I feel gross and bad being in public but glorious executive dysfunction rears its ugly head again.

So instead I'm working on project-assignments while I wait for my next class via zoom. Sucks cuz I like my morning course. It's geology.

[None]

Ah, hang in there, Vec! Those are some good happy things and I'm glad you're taking steps to secure your mental health.

Staying on top of everything all the time is tough. Having second options for when you slip a little like that sounds very measured. Nothing rocks about missing geology, though.
