Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They never offered a Saturday visit, and most of Saturday (up through 5, I realise) is already eaten.

Nutty--that sounds like the problem this unit was having.

Now I have to find (on Sunday, looks like) a laptop in meatspace with similar specs.

Man, this is too complicated.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

a) Replacing a motherboard in a computer less than six months old sounds like a Really Big Problem.

That sounds like what I had, too.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I think Mr. Faulkner has needs that haven't been properly attended to.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think Mr. Faulkner has needs that haven't been properly attended to.

I bet he eventually settled down and founded that town that Footloose takes place in....

I think I want to go to the parties that Mr. Faulkner's been attending...

Up for hivemind consideration: is it acceptable to throw one's own birthday party?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

In sum: don't buy a laptop from Dell, unless you enjoy replacnig motherboards.

Wow, I hope somebody at Dell got fired over that particular flaw. Not exactly a thriving business plan, irritating your customers. You know?

Yes, as long as it's not a ploy to get presents.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In my world it's more than acceptable--no one else is going to throw it for me.

How you can distinguish that from a ploy for presents--I'm not sure. I guess you could put something on the invite to not get you anything, but it's kinda weird that if someone else goes to the trouble of having a party for you it may be more acceptable to get gifts than if you'd done it yourself.

What is even happening?

Oh, they never mentioned tools, except to say you'd need a scribe. I am stunned at what they had me doing, and at every step thought of my mother faced with all that.

My mind went where Jesse's did. I'm picturing a guy with a papyrus scroll.
