gollark: It is weird and annoying that houses seem to get *more* expensive over time instead of less.

gollark: Apparently the disk has "Accumulated power on time, hours:minutes 69233:52" and was "Manufactured in week 18 of year 2012", making it in fact 9 years old and not 11.

gollark: I have no idea how the disk hasn't failed yet.

gollark: My server is verging on something like 11 years old now.

gollark: It works surprisingly well, apart from the viewing angles on the screen being awful, but it's always on my desk anyway.
