Damn way to read the assignment and go above and beyond.

the bleakness and sanitized feel of most American protestant churches really is an underused medium.

Reminder that puffins are extremely social and like to fit in with their friends, so they will adopt mannerisms and interests of the group. So there is a good chance this little guy is trying to be friends with the photographer by showing his interest in the camera.

willow-wanderings

TIL photographers are a lot like puffins, cuz we also make friends by showing interest in your camera XD

Reminds me of the time researchers were trying to get puffins to land in a specific area so the put decoys up to draw them in but the decoys only had 1 leg and

I dropped my ten-year-old laptop down the stairs (and spilled the cup of tea I also dropped down the stairs all over it) and now the touchpad is more laggy than usual and there are two Mysteriously Rattling Loose Bits inside it instead of the previous one. A few more drops and I might have to actually buy a new laptop.

#It's probably cheaper to buy a new laptop#but pretty much every device that isn't apple can be opened disassembled and reassembled easily if you know what you're doing#you can fix pretty much anything that isn't actual mold or plants growing in the hardware

In my experience there's rarely any point in refurbishing these cheap skinny laptops because they're built to save as much space as possible and even if you can source the right size and shape parts the integrity of the whole device is never quite the same. This is one of those purely plastic-cased cheap thingies that are barely wide enough to accommodate their own USB ports. I've sent laptops to professionals and they still come back physically more fragile. I drop this thing too often to go opening it up and permanently weakening the structural integrity.

If this was my desktop I would've taken the Mysterious Rattling Broken Part out 2 years ago. And replaced whatever it is too I guess. But my inexpert gorilla hands should not stray within laptops.

It's also, to be honest, not worth saving. It cost me a couple of hundred bucks a decade ago and has been running Linux for years because about 6 years ago a Windows update made Windows too large to fit on the hard drive any more.

an update made Windows too large to fit on the hard drive??

holy fuck that's hilarious. Frankly, congrats on keeping it alive for so long!

My astounding levels of cheapness when it comes to tech know no bounds

six years ago a windows update broke the hard drive?! Derin how small is the hard drive on this poor old man

Computers used to boot from floppy disks. Modern storage requirements are ridiculous.

He's doing his best ok.

#I bet it’s a hp pavilion laptop

Just looked those up and boy I do not have that kind of money.

I have a HP Stream notebook.

I recommend going on iFixit and looking through some of the tutorials then? Sometimes laptops just have to finally give up the ghost man. Also if it's an HDD and not SDD, one of these days a drop could literally shatter all of your data irrevocably so like-

derinthescarletpescatarian

Oh I only use this thing to write my web novels and fuck around on social media. My web novels are saved to flash drives so there's no data worth preserving. There's no space on this hard drive to save anything fancy.

Believe me, if this thing breaks it's not worth fixing. I'll open it up for the speakers and the cool glowy film thing behind the screen and make something weird.

"Rail only works over short distances" one of the most detached from reality carbrain statements I've ever read. Rail is objectively, demonstrably better to cover long distances than it is to cover short distances. Car culture legitimately gives you some kind of brain fungus.

headspace-hotel

did other Americans not get taught extensively in history about the Transcontinental Railroad and why it was such a huge deal

derinthescarletpescatarian

The entire POINT of rail is that it's good at long distances

how old must we be before we are allowed to think about sex, i can never remember, they keep moving the goal posts.

craycraybluejay

We're never allowed to think ab sex sorry. Teen years are hormonal but being horny before 18 is a sin. When you're horny and 18-25 its cringe. When you're horny 25-35 "you should get a partner and stop being openly horny." When you're horny 35-45 that's weird because you're "kinda old." When you're horny 45-55 you're a creep. And when you're horny 55+ you're an old person who can't and shouldn't be horny. This is how they think. Sex bad, basically. Thinking about sex is bad. Wanting sex is bad. Anything even mildly related to sex or sexuality is bad.
