What are the odds of all of your primary AND backup options failing all at once?...

So today was the 1st day of classes at Sac State, and since I refuse to pay $153 per semester for a parking permit, I have decided to commute using my bike and by bus on foul weather days. Fortunately I decided to leave an hour early since it was the 1st day, and unexpected things do go wrong (and boy was I right...). So I went out to my bike, and the front tire was flat. Since my tires like to go flat a lot, I just so happened to have a bottle of tire sealant handy. Even though the puncture was created by a very tiny thorn through the tread, the sealant did not work. So I went to my computer to look up bus schedules. However, Windows was being temperamental and did not want to start up correctly. So I booted Ubuntu, my backup OS, and although it started ok, for some unknown reason, Firefox would not open. I ended up having to call one of my roommates for help, and he picked me up. So much for \"green\" commuting...

Lmao.

That sortof happened to me earlier today, actually. First day going to college on a bus, but my bike tire was randomly flat (it wasn't a few days ago), so I decided to run and just bareeely missed my bus.

if Ubuntu and Windows were both on the same drive, the odds of them both dying at the same time go way up. HardDrive failure is an equal opportunity pain in the behind.

One time in the middle of class some guy's bike was sitting in the corner and his valve stem suddenly blew up, making everyone jump. Of course, since it was a engineering class, it started a great debate as to what kind of stress caused the failure.

Although it is true that both are on the same drive, the problem in both cases was software. The hard drive's smart data says that it is in good condition, and it's a Seagate, not a cheapie. Windows is being temperamental because I install too many programs and it needs to be reinstalled. As for Ubuntu, last time I booted it downloaded and update for FF, and that's probably why it suddenly stopped working.

Well then, Murphy strikes again!
