    I remember that Kazaa would BSoD my computer if it was on for a while and somebody would use the computer. I was downloading Ghost in the Shell for half a day and then my sibling used the computer and it crashed. Got so fucking mad. I had to lock the computer everytime I wanted to download a movie. Later I learned that one of the memory modules was busted. Couldn’t do shit about it since the warranty was expired and I was a dead broke teenager who didn’t want to work. Back then bad RAM was way more common than it is today. For almost every new PC I got back then I had to RMA a module.

    Older homes are not build to last. Older homes are just worth preserving. I live in the Netherlands we have a shit ton of old homes, if these homes weren’t repaired or renovated across the centuries most of them would have collapsed. Before modern build codes, like before the 20th century, it wasn’t uncommon for an old home to just collapse with the inhabitants in it.

    In many Dutch cities old homes are literally sinking into the ground, but instead of demolishing them most owners put in a new foundation. If it was an ugly modern glass box it would have been razed to the ground without a second thought.
