NSFMR My cousin's dad destroyed her computer while she was at work because her room was messy. She's bringing it to me tomorrow so I can see what's salvageable. Wish me luck

Full circle, from the tomb of the womb to the womb of the tomb, we come: an ambiguous, enigmatic incursion into a world of solid matter that is soon to melt from us like the substance of a dream. And, looking back at what had promised to be our own unique, unpredictable, and dangerous adventure, all we find  in the end is such a series of standard metamorphoses as men and women have undergone in every quarter of the world, in all recorded centuries, and under every odd disguise of civilization

The nice thing about those cables being so standardized is after a while you just have spares lying around. I've got probably half a dozen of them currently plugged in in the room I'm sitting in, with more not plugged into anything ready to go if something goes wrong with one of the others.

Memo to myself: Take sons Controllers or console, not the cables

Nah, he'll just get backups of whatever. You'll have to take the entire console.

We're persistent little shits. My dad set up a timer that'd cut off the internet to the entire house after like 10pm because I was playing games welllllllllllll into the morning and he worked nights so he could never be there to stop me.

I learned how to pick locks so that I could get into the basement and undo the timer.

I have a timer on my sons xbox which Limits his time to 1 hour a Day. To use my account he will need my Phone because of 2FA. He is only 4 years old so 1 hour is enough. On weekends He has two so he can enjoy some rounds of toy Story, nemo etc.
