That’s a great analogy. Both of which boil down to the fundamental fact that we are flawed in the sense that we can’t perfectly turn our intentions into action.

(sorry for the off topic reply)

Hi pjmorris! I'm the person from this thread > https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34400463

But now I'm throwayayes_2 due to losing lots of my personal data during house flooding last month.

I wonder if you still have any spare laptop for me! Sorry to disturb this thread & thank you!

Hi, throwayayes_2. I still don't have a spare laptop. Even if I did, shipping from the US to Indonesia would be a challenge. I am hoping someone reading here who's closer to you and who has a spare laptop can help you.
