@pvonhellermannn One is reminded of the premise of Robert Louis Stevenson's short story "The Bottle Imp":
"The protagonist buys a bottle with an imp inside that grants wishes. However, the bottle is cursed; if the holder dies bearing it, his or her soul is forfeit to hell. ... The bottle must be sold, for cash, at a loss."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bottle_Imp
The story is the inspiration for a solid card game by the same name:

“In a drastic attempt to protect their beachfront homes, residents in Salisbury, Massachusetts, invested $500,000 in a sand dune to defend against encroaching tides. After being completed last week, the barrier made from 14,000 tons of sand lasted just 72 hours before it was completely washed away”

@Aviva_Gary Ah, but there's the twist -- she's actually a Corgi mix and much smaller than you think!

#Framework's expansion cards give so much flexibility, sometimes in unexpected ways:
I worked in a family member's office this weekend. Their laptop has the HDMI port on the right side, so the monitor cable sits on the right ready to be plugged in. On my @frameworkcomputer laptop I happen to have the HDMI port on the left.
Instead of trying to snake the stiff short HDMI cable to the left side, I swapped the expansion cards so the HDMI was on the right and plugged in without a fight.

People often ask me, how do I feel about working in the Bene Gesserit pain box factory, designing devices whose only purpose is to synthesise excruciating pain? Well I say I get to work on a product with best-in-field UX and an extraordinary recognition factor
Nitrogen fertilizer, fossil fuels, plastic, asbestos ... we seem to have a bad habit of solving current or imminent problems by borrowing from the future.
"The only way to prevent catastrophic climate change is to move the Earth out of its orbit!"
"But ... won't that cause us to collide with Mars?"
"Yes, but not for several thousand years -- we can worry about that later!"
Why we all need subtitles now.
