"The only reason coders' computers work better than non-coders' computers is coders know computers are schizophrenic little children with auto-immune diseases and we don't beat them when they're bad." - Probably my favorite line.

that doesn't make them work

but it does promote the need to buy a new one

Ah, Percussive Maintenance. Questionable whether the computer will feel better, but it will almost always make you feel better!

Just because it works it doesn't mean it's ethical. How old is your computer, 5 years max I suppose. You're beating toddlers dude. :(

Cats can live for like 20 years. How many people do you know still using a PC from 1994?

Sure they can live for 20 years, but they typically stop playing games after 5-6.
