I will never forget that teacher's face, his double-take, and how he ripped the VGA cable out of the back of the computer.

@TeaKayB @martinpallmann @ShadSterling @liamvhogan @julie @timrichards it's a sad state of affairs when a person has reached adulthood without developing the ctrl-w close tab muscle memory

@TeaKayB @jackeric @martinpallmann @liamvhogan @julie @timrichards I would always screw in my VGA plugs. I hope that hadn’t been done in this case

I learnt not to do that via a completely different dilemma... When I unscrewed one but it unscrewed on the wrong side, requiring opening up the case to re-attach the plug.

@jackeric thanks for teaching me what ctrl-w does

it took me a while to find this again to respond to it, though

@musiciankate there's so many shortcuts that are so unobvious!

like, I've been using computers pretty much daily for thirty years now. y'know Ctrl-A for "select all", that one comes up in the right-click menu, pretty easy to find. but I only learned Ctrl-D for "select the word the cursor's on" a couple weeks ago

@TeaKayB @liamvhogan @julie @timrichards @ShadSterling but this is how you learn and how the greatest inventions came to life: by accident discovery.
