It’s Wednesday, and today higher temperatures and rain come to Chicago and wash the traces of winter away for good—I hope. My squirrels are ravenous, and I hope to see babies soon.
Meanwhile in Dobrzyn, Hili has done something bad:
A: And what are you going to tell me, my darling?
Hili: You have to buy a new keyboard for yourself.
A: Why?
Hili: The old one is full of coffee.
Ja: No i co mi powiesz, kochanie?
Hili: Musisz sobie kupić nową klawiaturę.
Ja: Dlaczego?
Hili: W starej jest pełno kawy.
Bonus: Today’s xkcd (h/t Michael):
It may well be rescuable – the keyboard… the worse thing is sugar…
I would rinse it, shake it outside, then put it in a bage with rice to absorb the remaining moisture… You could unscrew the back & do the same. Better to try that & save having to get a new one!http://www.explainthatstuff.com/computerkeyboards.html
I am sure that Hili is not the first or the last to have an accident! 😉
Yeah, sugar is bad and dairy tends to leave a nasty residue. Hot chocolate pretty much kills electronics as it contains both. The worst I saw when I was in IT support was a pint of milk over a laptop. We couldn’t get a warranty repair on that one.
Keyboards can usually be rinsed & dried as mentioned above!
Doesn’t the rice get into places you don’t want it to?
I wish there was an inexpensive way to send keyboards to Poland – I have several. Let’s get that teleportation technology happening! 🙂
Recycle or upcycle –

How can it be something “bad” if Hili did it?

Very funny!
The xkcd cartoon is subtle and subversive.
Republican squirrels.
If that’s the case they might be Second Amendment extremists: watch your nuts!
We have an entire Web site devoted to exactly that.

…and, sorry, Jerry, for emailing you the XKCD cartoon earlier today! I obviously need to learn to not put off the Hili dialogue this late in the day….

You weren’t the only one to send in xkcd a tad late, further cluttering Jer’s mailbox.
The important thing is, when we think of squirrels, we think of Jerry.
Poor Hili, mis-gauging her girth perhaps?
I’m so glad Cyrus didn’t do this.
The squirrel makes a lot of sense…
Well, it’s up in the sky, it’s round, and this is support by analogy for the acorn theory:

Better evidence than most religious theories have, actually.
Damn, I should have scrolled down before sending that link to Jerry! Great minds…
😀
Theo wants in, Hili!! 🐈
Since the subject is carts behaving badly, then this link is perfect:

Here a spare keyboard is always at hand. Such problems can be solved in 30 seconds.
Shouldn’t Hili be blaming the d*g?
I think she’s blaming the coffee.
