Coraline is pretty intense.

A quote from Neil Gaiman about his editor's daughter, who served as the book's first audience

I told her, "You know, we kind of have you to thank for all this, because you weren’t scared by it." And she said, "Actually, I was terrified. But I wanted to know what happened next. I knew if I let anybody know I was scared, I wouldn’t find out."

If that's "no" to the first part, you're simply not a leftist. If that's "no" to the second part, welcome to team violence.

Do you wish to stop capitalism? Do you think the bourgeoisie will willingly give up their cushy lives and positions of power?

Because propaganda works

No?

TO COMMUNISTS, ANARCHISTS, OR ANYONE ELSE CALLING FOR THE OVERTHROW OF SOCIETY

Ok boomer.

Aww, dang, scrubbles was gonna be one of my internet friends. I get it though, protecting yourself is important. Good luck, comrade.

-163C is still pretty cold, but at least it is superconducting

Oh fuck that's so bad.

Mechanical adept here too. I am very good at holding and manipulating 3d objects in my brain, so I can kinda always just tell how something goes together to work.

Makerspaces? Maybe just hang around at bars near your local conference/convention center?

Holy shit

It's brutal. It also just kind of becomes normal, eventually. Do what you can to protect your hearing going forward to prevent it from getting worse. Good luck.

Personally, if the NAS is up and running, I'd migrate the home directory and anything else important from the desktop to that, and intend to network host those folders; set aside the 1TB, install the 2 TB, and do a fresh install and see if I can still get to everything happily.

Alternatively--if you want to preserve stuff locally--new drive in an enclosure, attach to desktop, boot from an install USB, fresh install to 2TB, reboot from 2TB, mount 1TB, migrate data, install 2TB. I don't think there should be a UUID problem doing that, but even if there was you could still boot from the install stick and try manually fix it

This song gets stuck in my head fairly regularly.
