He never blamed the computer directly because he knew I bought a new laptop for him. But he would say it happened on it’s own so…

No offence taken. He was not a tech savvy person.

There is no such thing as immutable or uncorruptable OS. My late father would always find a way to fuck up the laptop I setup for him. He would even come back with errors that I’ve seen for the first time and our conversation would go like this:

Me: How did this happen? My Father: how should know? It was like this when I turned it on. Me: what did you do before you turned it off last time? My Father: I was on Facebook, played some backgammon and watched some YouTube. Me: …

I miss him and I would gladly give everything to have him bother me with his laptop problems one more time. I hope that he is getting some good support where ever he is.

Yes. You’re right. I didn’t think about that.

Man those feet are really out of proportion or were they really that big and why am I thinking about this?

Sorry for the late response. In real world it’s part of a Sufi Muslim belief where you take on something impossible or almost impossible to show how feeble and useless the real world. As far as I know almost all the tortoise trainers are part of such Sufi branches and believers. They did this as part of their beliefs. It’s almost impossible to teach anything to a tortoise in real life. If you search about the painting you’ll see that painter had 2 versions of this and later one had 6 tortoises showing that instead of solving his issues or problems or trials he add more on. Also the painter Osman Hamdi Bey was part of Sufi Muslim believer. It’s said that he painted himself as the tortoise trainer. I hope this cleared somethings.
