Science has gone too far.

It's weird that I'm sitting here in the street, basking in the sun, beautiful fluffy clouds overhead, listening to live rock music being played from someone's porch, and all I can think about is the new carbon brushes coming in tomorrow that let me finish fixing a high velocity dog blower/dryer.

Typing this from my megachonker Lenovo T510 from 2010. Running Windows 7 Pro, Chrome version 109.0.5414.120. I only break it out for legacy software stuff and photoshop (CS3! Adobe can eat it). Everything works just fine. Don't let tech dorks bully you into upgrading if you don't have to.
