All my life, while people were pretty shitty to me, mechanical devices, and my body, always functioned pretty well. I was lucky. Then, around 2013, everything went to shit and it’s been one fail after another. But my shine is back, baby! The new AC/split Is humming, my new PC is purring, Dell is relacing my laptop SSD drive under warranty, and now a cheap HDMI adapter replacement saved a very expensive 27” monitor. Life is good again. For now. Fuck Trump.
