Stupid, Cheap Piece Of Crap

If you’ll remember, right before last Christmas, I tripped on the cord (rushing to stop the cat from puking on the rug of course) and the connector bent, rendering it unusable. And now this, with no outside cause.
Panel 1, I’m at my laptop saying, “It’s so nice to be writing again! Huh, why is the power cable not plugged in?” Panel 2, close up of the power cord with the connector prong missing, offscreen I say, “Wait, where’s the connector?” Panel 3, close up of the port showing the connector is still in it, and I say, “…I see, stuck in the laptop. So now all I have is four hours of battery power.” Panel 4, me staring, frozen, Panel 5, me going completely grayscale in horrified shock, Panel 6, me collapsing on the ground.
The new one finally came in. It better last more than six months.

    Assuming you're still with me (as that might have flagged this as spam), that's where you order your new laptop. They have the best prices as far as what I've found. (I know, there's no reason to replace your laptop. Something will break on a new one. Yours works fine. Cool.)

    Isn't it always the way?

    The world conspires against us, I'm sure.
