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.

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.

You don't need a box of boxes. You need one of these bad boys https://www.ebay.com/itm/145795916337?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=vnzov6wfrki&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&var=444887746198&widget_ver=artemis&media=SMS

I've been called a hoarder, but I have the spares! Call it a lesson.

Still need one? I'm sure I have some laying around

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.

Classic! Happens every time I get rid of something I was holding on to. Some form of Murphy’s law I reckon

Hahaha, that's why I'm a borderline hoarder.
