I have an odd ratio of lava lamps to lava lamp bottles.
I also found an original XBOX controller; the one that's the size of a VW beetle and has slots for a headset or memory cart in the top.
Oh, there's two -- one is still in the blister pack.
Perhaps it was a mistake to collect 25 kilos of SCART cables. If I get rid of them, I'll have enough space in the crates for all my USB cables, which will make enough space in my desk for the screwdrivers.
Cryptic message in windows event logs categorised as 'drive' with no other human language attached.
I sense that this might mean something important. Possibly about one of the drives.

I’m starting to think that keeping 20,000 emails in one folder isn’t a great idea for performance.
WSL 2 Docs: “The primary goals of this update are to increase file system performance”
Also WSL 2 docs: “the WSL 2 architecture outperforms WSL 1 in several ways, with the exception of performance across OS file systems.”
Computer: There’s a problem. Attempting automatic repair.

Cat with its ears down? ... it's a dog..?

Open your own drawer, take out a pair of scissors, frantically try and fail to cut because they’re stupid and backwards #everydayLeftism
Do people not scroll any more?
If you typo crunchyroll, you might do a search for crunchyrikk, which sounds like a trademark belonging to adultswim.
I don’t know why this list exists, but here it is.

Okay, enough of this.

Restored from a backup, but maybe I need a spare Windows VM or something to avoid downtime.
Yup. All my files are gone. But I can play candy crush or sign up to office 365, which is what’s really important, after all.
