My acquaintances wouldn't know what a healthy middle european forest looks like if their survival depended on it. Good job consumerism. Hint: It's not a near-perfect grid of 5 year-old same-species trees/wood factory. https:

Good to know. I'm most afraid of missing something, it liquifying and shorting the PSU. Guess I'll be extra thorough.

Wasn't in the room when it happened. The cheapo shit shelf (not my buy btw) couldn't hold the sixth bottle. We were lucky it was just the one that broke!

I wish it wasn't true either. Seeing a semi-technical acquaintance use in-browser software for daily productive work hurts my programmer's soul. It's alright for some light things, like vacation planning, but remote desktop o

Perhaps your subconscious doesn't see something to look forward to; something for which it would be worthwhile to be ambitious. And I could't blame it :/
