Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 22, 2019

I don’t see what could’ve gone wrong. He’s using the best cloud computing server.

Fat fingers on a small keyboard.

Make one of the canine species dominant. After all, “dog” spelled backwards is….

The biggest snafu since black holes.

If only dolphins had thumbs and could make fire….

This is why not even God has faith in tech support.

I hate calling tech support. Often they will tell you something that is so stupid you wonder if they know anymore than you do about a problem. I have even had them ask me to call them back and tell them if I found an answer to a problem.

Then mr. Almighty struck the wrong target .

In the real worst-case scenario, a serpent winds up giving some woman bad advice.

I used to say that 70% of my tech support’s interactions with me was a learning experience for them

Thought provoking. Could be the reason.

I once called tech support, and the technician admitted he’d been trained, but hadn’t really worked on the system I was using before. When I suggested maybe I should call back and try to get someone who was more familiar with my system, he said something to the effect of, “No, I need to get experience with this.” Needless to say, I hung up, tried again, and, thankfully, got someone who knew what they were doing.

Buttercup is the extreme example of data corruption. It will take more than a superior virus solution to erase the after effects.

So all our problems can be traced to a data migration error?

I like the Gary Larson explanation: it shows them smoking cigarettes.

Anybody ever read/remember The Gandalara Cycle by Randall Garrett? or The Gentle Giants of Ganymede by James Hogan? Both had GREAT explanations for the beginnings of the human race. . .

So everything was left up to chance. Not much for the big guy in the clouds to do then.

If the dinosaurs hadn’t disappeared, we wouldn’t be here.

I would not be surprised if there was some actual truth behind today’s non sequitur.

The only reason we’ve gotten this far is because the dinos got wiped out by a meteor. Otherwise they would’ve kicked out collective butts in due course.

Knock, knock …

The problem is a basic incompatibility in protocols between cold-blooded data and warm-blooded data. The interface looks the same but the capacity for infinite looping and runaway geometric replication has a viral element. We probably should not have started with a complete reboot.

Many dinosaurs and related had physiologies like mammals their counterparts. Both did similar functions but only the bird ones had hollow bones and air sacs which allowed them to grow to far larger sizes than any mammal ever could.

He forgot to dial down the aggression factor.

Sure, upload everything to the cloud they said… what could go wrong?!

You’re wrong! It’s all Donald Trump’s fault!

There was an episode of “Futurama” where the Earth was described as a “mudball inhabited by psychotic apes.” Depressingly accurate, I’d say.

He was trying to install the Latest Release of HeavenOS, but the 2.0 release was corrupted when one of the Angels tried to cut corners and copied some code from Windoze 98.

He should know better than to try out the Beta Release.

Every time I think about what a totally unlikely set of circumstances has to be maintained or I’ll just stop breathing, I’m astounded that anybody ever makes it out of babyhood. And don’t even get me started on societal structures.
