You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

I butter the bread.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Nobody here butters the bread, right? You just put butter in the pan!

It depends on whether or not the butter is soft enough to spread. Room temperature butter directly on the bread makes a more evenly browned sandwich.

I butter the bread. When I just butter the pan, it doesn't brown as nicely and evenly.

Oh my God, I've been doing it wrong!

No, wait, you people are all crazy. Plus my butter is always frigid.

Because books.

I butter the inside of the bread, but I let the butter in the pan brown the outside.

If someone got into my Gmail account they'd basically have everything because I store all the "Welcome to Extremely Secure Internet Thingy That Will Never Be Hacked! Here is your username!" emails there.

2-factor authentication, y'all.

Jessica,

but that's why I said he needed to turn on 2-factor auth with gmail. Regardless, he had the perfect storm: no backup, easy access to gmail and that his amazon and apple accounts were hacked.

Others,

he has a cool twitter handle, but they did more than hack his twitter account. They tried to (did?) decimate all of his online files.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thank you, Jessica and ita ! and tommyrot. I am elucidated.

I butter the bread, on the rare and glorious occasions I make a grilled cheese sandwich. I also keep a stick of butter in a butterdish on the counter, so it's always spreadable.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I put butter in the pan. And I back up to my NAS and have bunches of stuff I'm not paying attention to in the cloud. I should probably organize, huh?

Anyway, back on the road. Had a good time with the SO on break, now super ready to be home. Wish me mellow dog passenger and no burning semis.

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

Sometimes it's really frustrating waiting for other people to catch up in a conversation--especially when they don't trust your word, and so you have to wait until someone else wearing an outsider hat tells them what you'd already told them...

And who knows if they'll remember this time anyway?

If someone wants my "welcome to so and so web site" emails, they will have to physically acquire them, because my primary email addresses are not free webmail services, and what's on that server only goes back a month. They'll need to get into my network at home, or find the right backup CD.

Only reliable solution is to hack my password vault. That's in the cloud. Though I don't think you can log onto it from the web...I should check.
