My sentiments exactly. But I never took a job that required use of personal compute. Fortunately I turned my Last Laptop in May of last year.

Snrk. At one of my jobs, they made us sit through an entire BS Thang on 'Computer Security'. My question was never covered: What happens if I take my work laptop across a border and the TSA/FBI/CIA/who Fsking Knows asks me if it has child porn on it?
I asked but never got a reply. I figured if that happened, I would answer truthfully: I Don't Know. ( they were Windows laptops, and not my property )

Just disconnect your battery for a few seconds. That should wipe **everything**

Oof. Wear someone else's clothes. Or just go old style and dress in gold and shells.

I have fond memories of sex in a lake. No issues there.

Just bought a pair of sandals. But they burn holes in my feet. Still thinking about trying them with socks.

Years ago I added the following lines to my .env file:
#Go one directory over in same subdir system/
g () {
cd ../$1
}
#Go TWO directories up and over
gg () {
cd ../../$1
}Added Bonus: with the "." argument,, these commands just jump up a level or two. They don't save a lot of keystrokes individually, but considering how often I perform those operations, they add up quickly.

Ah, so I take it when you answer a wrong number and they ask for a person, you immediately say, 'They won't talk to you right now. They're very angry.' and then hang up.

Man orders beer, then has to go pee. Spits in his beer, writes a sign saying "I have Spit in this Beer". Comes back, and underneath someone has written "So have I".
