If you ever accidentally delete a disk partition and need to quickly undo, "testdisk" is a very powerful utility that works on multiple operating systems.

Ironically, I deleted a partition while using "ntfsfix" to try to unset the "dirty bit" on an NTFS partition that Linux refused to mount. Turns out if you give the root device as a parameter rather than the specific device partition, "ntfsfix" will just wipe all of the partitions without warning! ⚠️⚠️⚠️

The entire situation is tragic and easily avoidable, but I can confidently predict that the State will deem this to be a justifiable homicide.

Not saying I agree with it, but the State heavily weighs the system in favor of protecting the safety of its agents over that of non-agent citizens.

An overlooked benefit of sticking to free weights is that, unlike with machines, when you travel 1 kilogram always equals 1 kilogram.
