I built my PC like 8 years ago or something, and kept all the boxes for the spare parts for like 7 years and never needed them, so eventually during spring cleaning I just chucked them out. I was like “this big box of boxes does not spark joy.”
And then… that’s when I finally need a spare part. Today I go to install a second M.2 drive and realize I have no spare motherboard screws on hand.
Lol, I just got rid of a bunch of old hardware.
At this point I thank that this is a physical law of the universe…
You can buy a bad ass mini computer for like $400 bucks. I'm a cheapskate, and I used to fix old computers, but time is more scarce than bitcoin and I just can't do it anymore.
Eh, this was a ten minute change that’ll extend the computer’s life another 2 years. 8 years ago it was a super powerful computer so today it’s still solid. Built it myself and kind of attached to it. Once it needs a bigger fix I’ll replace it.
You don't need a box of boxes. You need one of these bad boys
Yeah I literally have to buy one of these now.
The best time for spare parts is now, the second best time is 20 years from now. - Chinese Proverb
I've been called a hoarder, but I have the spares!
Call it a lesson.
It's starts with motherboard screws. Slippery slope 😜😂
Marie Kondo, fucking us all over since 2016 with her spark joy meme
The payoff of actually executing a tidying festival far outweighs the inconvenience of little issues like a missing screw every 8 years
Take away is chuck the boxes right away instead of waiting 7years. 🫠😂
nevar throw dem away milady
Something stopped that train :)
Such is life
Still need one? I'm sure I have some laying around
Just use bubblegum to stick it there 😄
Remember how she completely abandoned her spark-joy mantra once she had kids? Nobody got time to consider napkin joy when you have a toddler.
I believe that is the natural law now. As soon as I've gotten rid of something I've been keeping for ages for a rainy day, sure as shit I need it 🤦♂️

C’mon Lyn… you had to know this would happen. This is why every one of us nerds has that box of cables that still has RJ-11s, a parallel printer cable and about 382 other random cables and power cords of yesteryear.
I literally had this and got rid of it. :/
This is the way.
Classic! Happens every time I get rid of something I was holding on to. Some form of Murphy’s law I reckon
