At least you did post an excellent meme because of the painful, terrible event.

Let's hope it's a framework laptop and you can just buy replacement parts.

That's why you buy a thinkpad - mine dropped several times down. Just a bit clippedy dew and a restart and everything is fine, again.

Or in my case, my Thinkpad T490 is absolutely brain dead and shuts itself down / crashes during idle sleep mode every time.

Similarly, my Yoga C930 battery drained in 2 days while powered off and fingerprint scanner stops working after waking from sleep.

Lenovo used to be good..

What's the context of the original picture? That guy seems like he isn't having a great time.

"Ivan the Terrible and his son Ivan"

"It depicts the grief-stricken Russian tsar Ivan the Terrible cradling his dying son, the Tsarevich Ivan Ivanovich, shortly after the elder Ivan had dealt a fatal blow to his son's head in a fit of anger. The painting portrays the anguish and remorse on the face of the elder Ivan and the gentleness of the dying Tsarevich, forgiving his father with his tears."

It's one of my favorite paintings

Many thanks. That being said, "forgiving his father with his tears" big ole X on that one

It's really hard to see in this image, but they're definitely there in higher definition pictures

Enigma@sh.itjust.works · 13 pts · 3y

I think they were referring to the younger Ivan crying because he’s in pain, not because he’s forgiving his father.

It's just a flesh wound

A lot of higher end credit cards also include protection against this kind of thing as well.

Don't you have to pay a deductible with renters insurance?

Interesting! I'm only familiar with home owners insurance and car insurance, and those are typically between $500-1000. Thanks for sharing your experience.

That's the reason why my laptop has a big dent by the hinge. I do plan on getting that fixed eventually.

Yes I am sure you have never made any mistakes in your life before

praeceptorem666@relyma.club · -2 pts · 3y

Absolutely. Unlike you, your mother made a massive one giving birth to you. I can only begin to imagine her devastation when she sees the nasty goblin she produced
