Fell for the gtx 970 meme 3 years ago, installed ubuntu twice on accident. Fire at will.

Stupidest shit I've done is spilling solder flux on my brand new keyboard. It's corrosive (I think it's hydrochloric acid) and fucked some of my keycaps, one of them jams when I press it. I still need to get replacement keycaps for it. The switches were unscathed, thankfully.

I still don't know how to fucking use git correctly. Every time we work with branches with our teammates in assignments I ask them to put on me on my branch and then to push my stuff to master because I eventually fuck everything up. >inb4 choose another career.
Dominic Gomez
Wtf why would you use acid flux?
