Not vying for the contest, but the Ouija story brought back my own Oujia memories...

It’s the moooooooost wonderful tiiiiiiiiiime of the year! Thanks for your stories everyone. I’m spooked! 

Yeah, I’m with you. I personally just buy $1 corded earbuds at the dollar store and while there’s definitely a tradeoff in comfort, sound quality, durability, aesthetics, and customer support, I can confirm that they absolutely cost less money than these Beats ones do.

“We’ve traced the call, it’s coming from inside the dealership!”

Ok, but Humbolt is full of weirdos. Maybe he was just trying to get to Ashland for the Shakespeare festival? That would explain the sword. 

15 years ago: This cell phone has a built in camera!

That assumes that they want better for themselves and not just worse for others. That sort of pathology is usually present in all forms of bigotry and prejudice. You don’t want to end the oppression you’re in, just escape it.

They use USB-C? Lol so you’re still carrying around multiple cables if you have a lightning iphone. And let’s be honest you still have a battery or something that charges via micro-usb. This is not the future we were promised. 

Reading this a day late because I spent all yesterday on the highway...

Now that Andrew is leaving I’m 1 Torchinsky and 1 Tracy away from never visiting this site again

Nope.

Can you upgrade the RAM yourself? Because 8GB just is not enough for modern computers, no matter how much manufacturers want to pretend. Going from 8 to 24 on my wife’s laptop was like night and day.

They’re pricey, but check out HP’s Pagewide printers. Some have better cost per page than lasers and can print insanely fast (source: I sell printers and supplies for a living). https://store.hp.com/us/en/mdp/printers/hp-pagewide-pro?jumpid=cp_r163_us/en/ips/iito/pagewidepromfp/img#!&Tab=features

I have gotten to the point where I won’t buy HP printers anymore because of their software. The hardware is fine, but the software keeps trying to “help” you.
If you are just printing 8.5x11 plain paper you are fine, but if you actually try to use the extra feeder on the front to print an envelope or an 8.5x14 sheet it…

Also keep in mind that the Brother laser printers work great with ~$20 off-brand toner cartridges.  

Friends don’t let friends use inkjet printers.

Aww! That’s a lovely story! I have a dog story too. When I was a kid, we had a spaniel. He was called sparky, and he was very protective of me, I guess because I am disabled and and only child. It was just him and me for most of my childhood. He died when I was 20, he had cancer so had to be pts. I was heartbroken...…

Our pet dog passed away unexpectedly late last year. We grieved and were despondent for months. It literally felt like there was a gray pall over us.
