I am not a robot. I promise.
As a one time only event, as a first and a last, I wish I could go back and change the last words I ever spoke with my late father.
In the hospital bed, he was fussing at me because I told him that I was cleaning trash and old food from his house. I didn’t expect him to fuss, I was only doing the right thing ya know.
He passed away the next morning in hospital. I’m still sad to this day that our final conversation wasn’t more positive ☹️😭
Nah, I figured it out, it was a couple accidental drips from using rubbing alcohol to thin out the ink in the marker.
Oh well, I already put the front glass back on, I ain’t about to take it back apart just to clean a couple accidental drips.
It is what it is…
When I looked back at an old photo before I painted it, those black spots weren’t there, so perhaps the marker slipped a couple times 🤷
Oh shit, I think I know what happened, I had to thin the ink in the marker out a few times with rubbing alcohol, those must be accidental drips 🤦
Oh well, I done put the face glass back on, and a few of the screw mounts managed to crack and break in the process, so I ain’t about to take it back apart to clean it.
It is what it is, its way more visible now 👍
To be honest, I’m not sure anymore.
The numbers were white when I found it…
Sure you can go wrong with white, this is how I found the clock, on the side of the road…

The clock works great, I just figured it needed some contrast.
I don’t know what the current tech scene is like, but I prefer military grade approved laptops. My old Dell B130 is one such laptop.
Sure it’s old and came out in 2006 I think, but their military grade line is meant to be easy to repair even in the field, better RF shielding, underclocked a bit for CPU longevity, and runs cooler than consumer grade laptops…
Awesome!
About 5 minutes of blank screen first though? What was it doing behind the scenes, contacting the Dell Mothership to void your warranty? 🤔
Oh man, you would remind me, my more modern laptop is an HP 15 DW0083WM, and my F10 key is so messed up that it would probably fly off if I sneezed on it.
I’ve already been inside the laptop before, but only to cut a service panel to easily remove/exchange the SSD module. I quickly realized that if I ever do have to replace the keyboard, I’ll have to gut all the boards and parts to get to it, not much different than OP’s journey…
If you wanna get real fancy keeping up with screws, get one of those magnetic mats like we used in our computer shop.
That’s a Dell? Damn, they’ve strayed quite far away from their old B130 design, my old potato Dell only requires unclipping one plastic cover above the keyboard to access two screws to remove the keyboard.
I feel your pain homie. Was the surgery completed successfully?
They used to Tweet.
Now they sXhit.
I reported a spamming bot account the other day, apparently trying to hock AI based business/realty ideas and other AI slop across multiple communities.
When the cats community (yes little kitty cats) has a post that obviously doesn’t belong, plus the user only started their account a couple or few hours ago, report that shit!
Brushing before going to the dentist is like shitting and wiping before going to the proctologist. 💩
That seems like a form of sex daily dyslexia, where the letters get jumbled up in your head. Although Nepotism and Poseidon don’t have all exactly the same letters, they are kinda close to being anagrams of each other.
This statement should be observed as a form of basic set theory.
“Wealthy people of color should help minorities but they choose not to”
Within the context of the wording from OP, this restricts the focus to people of color. The same concept should apply to all though, tax the rich and help those in struggle.
Yes, you can say what you want, that’s fine.
I’m still not wrong, the rich should pay their taxes…
The original post suggests that only a certain category (minorities) wealthy people should help people of their own race. That statement itself is biased towards certain races…
All wealthy people should be at least partly helping struggling people in some way, shape or form, regardless of color. They should just straight up tax the rich a wealth tax to help people in need.
To make it about race and/or skin color is itself … racist …
Tax the rich yo, what’s any of this got to do with color?
Okay. And your problem with that is what exactly?

Skip to 11:43, this is one of the most beautiful audio tracks I’ve ever stumbled across, super underrated…
