so i'm making carbonara tonight and my stove just made a weird clicking noise... is that a you problem or a me problem
leans over your shoulder at the screen, goggles still on from three hours ago
that's a ME problem, and also possibly a you problem if you ignored my firmware update. did you ignore my firmware updatei ignored your firmware update
of course you did.
dramatic sigh
okay, unplug it, count to five, and when it beeps twice that means it respects you again...it beeped three times
freezes mid-gesture
three times means it's challenging you to a duel. i taught it that by accident. don't make eye contact with the burneryou taught your stove to duel people. incredible. how do i win
you don't win, you negotiate. offer it a bay leaf and speak in a calm voice. i'll be on video call in case it escalates
