It's somewhat infuriating that all of my datacenter adventures have ended up with lacerations on my hands at a minimum, and yet he did not have a single object fall on him. It's almost enough to make me believe in a hateful sadistic deity who protects billionaires.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
