Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

oh dear - I really am a bit overworked.
atm I am frustrated, though: my library pc crashed (I use it to store my audiobooks etc). I managed to repair all damage to HDD1 which carries the OS (Debian Linux 8) However, HDD2 with all my files on it got dismounted and the computer stubbornly refuses to find it - it doesn't even show uo in the boot menu. It can't have been damaged too badly in the crash so that at least its physical presence should register and it does start - I can feel the vibration. I could repair it if I could mount it but how can I mount an invisible drive? It's utterly frustrating!
Good luck with the repair.
 
Thanks - I've given up for today and since the rest of the wek will be extremely busy the next remounting attempt will have to wait till Saturday.
 
My shift at work starts at 6 AM, so I have to get up at 5.

When I have the day off, my body often wakes up that early even when I don't want to. I have a bastard of a time sleeping in... :scream:

At least it means that when I fly, and have an early flight, I have no problem getting up. (although during said flight, I can't sleep on the plane, because ouch :sigh: )
 
I joined Twitter to promote my writing, but some twitter users just want to send me pictures of their genitals.

It’s a funny old world.
 
The graphic novel that I purchased off ebay arrived today.

There's nothing unusual about buying items online. (Unless you're randomly buying stuff while drunk.) The store page was owned by a charity selling second hand items. Although, I never expected the 'package' to arrive in the form that it did. I did a double take and genuinely thought that it was a joke at first. Wouldn't blame anyone for thinking that alcohol was involved somewhere along the line.

Basically, it didn't come in a bubble wrapped envelope. The delivery woman handed over a jigsaw puzzle box for Disney's Alladin. It was sealed with brown tape and had my name and address printed on a sheet of paper stuck on the front. When I opened up the box, the book was wrapped inside a shopping bag.

That's definitely a fun memory to keep.
 
A friend is being bothered by someone who really knows how to push my friend's buttons. I can see it start to happen and I don't know what to do to help. I'm afraid to say anything because it might make things worse.
 
Anybody convicted of having anything to do with Juul should get the beating of a lifetime.

They are perpetuating the absolutely false notion that vaping is somehow safer than smoking cigarettes, and are deliberately trying to get kids hooked by releasing their putrid stinking slime in flavors like mint, strawberry, etc.

Fucking heartless bastards, all of them. :mad:
 
I was just looking for Looney Tunes shirts, and one of the results was a shirt showing Bugs spanking Lola Bunny's bare bottom. Rule 34 has invaded eBay. Aside from the fact that this is obviously unlicenced, who the fuck would even wear a shirt like this?

Edit: Fuck. Just three minutes, and I've caught myself considering buying that shirt, just because it's so fucked up. I guess I could wear it at work. But no, I'm certainly not gonna buy it.

Seriously not.

No way.

Highly unlikely.

Probably not.

Shit, I'm considering it again. Curse me and the appeal of fucked up shit!

I would insert soul-less as well as insidious before heartless but that after all, is the human-condition and one of the lessons of history. Greed before humanity. Which rule of acquisition is that again btw?

And as a disclosure I started smoking when I was 16.
