  • I learned this a long time ago.

    From poindexter FORTRAN@21:4/122 to All on Tue Mar 4 07:59:00 2025
    Two is One and One is None.

    Whenever I buy one thing for work, I buy a spare. Whenever I'm down to
    my last widget, I buy another before using it.

    Yesterday I was setting up for an important all-hands video meeting. At
    the last minute they decided they wanted a camera facing the room and
    another facing a local speaker. Originally, I was assured there wouldn't
    be a local speaker.

    Luckily, I had 2 webcams and 2 powered USB extension cables, and wired
    it up quickly.

    There's one exception - the office has 3 coffee makers - a Bunn office
    drip maker, Keurig and a Nespresso. I had nothing to do with that...

    Two is One and One is None.

    The same is true of basic computing.

    Nice! Spares are always great! Went to see Million Dollar Quartet in Memphis
    a few years ago. Each actor was playing and singing the stuff themsleves,
    but I noticed that there were TWO guitars on stage for each one. They never touched the spare, but being a broadway production I assume if something
    went wrong they would just grab the other one and never miss a beat.

    LOL - if you did, it would be TWO of each? ;-)

    I've liked those little Nespresso makers, I would put one in my office in a heartbeat.

    I love the SMELL of coffee, but not the taste.

    I have had some coffees I could drink, like the local 'dirty snowman' as
    long as it's heavy in cream. :-)
