    You might be able to find out why I don't use mountain bikes.
    Please think before opening.
    * No rack for shopping bags
    * Police doesn't like bikes without reflectors, head+rear lights, bell, reflective tires (and neither do I)
    * I really don't feel like getting dirt all over myself including the face (though the latter might improve my look)

    The soldering iron won't help here, sadly.
    I'll cycle to the workshop (don't have the parts anyway) and I couldn't for my life correctly adjust the derailleur gears stuff correctly (which needs to be done as well for some time now)

    Pretty obvious answer for the question why things fail, yes.

    The more important part is: Why now? I'm busy with moving!
    As if dead things were possessed by an evil spirit always choosing the worst moment.

    Copying those CDs and writing a short unsystematic analysis was supposed to be a relaxation exercise, not the beginning of exhausting work.

    "always choosing the worst moment."
    Why? Will there ever be a better time? It's an illusion: the disappointment will always be the same, today or tomorrow. This is a lesson (of course, for me too): don't get attached to anything! Accept the inevitable! Be ready for anything!

    Disappointment? More like fury!

    D*mn! I just wanted to have some fun with this PC. It was often the source of entertainment the last 1½ years. More than gaming (since I could not even really play)

    The secondary HDD could be the failing one… Five minutes of work. Finger exercise.
    No, it has to be the primary HDD → Concentrated migration of the OS.

    I get your point, but there is no way I'm going to take any more risks regarding real social contacts. Cutting the losses.

    After moving there will be not a single contact left, not even a superficial one. The world has seen me and will finally leave me alone for good. Sitting in the freshly renovated house I will sit silently observing the country burning to ashes (←metaphor!)

    But it is not enough for one to report that she has been raped; it takes clear objective evidence (signs of violence, bruises, drugs or tranquilizers in the blood, psychological trauma established by psychologists etc.) Cases of false rape, here in our country, are very rare, and often unmasked.

    Okay, let's admit that she reads out of pure curiosity, to inform herself about the subject, to understand it: it is still a misleading reading (and author), representing sex as violence, overpowering, humiliation, and abuse of power while completely neglecting the positive characteristics: consent, physical union, trusting surrender, mutual satisfaction, respect for partner, and symbiosis through pleasure.
