| | So that book mentioned in the title text is real. I had to Google it because I'm a horribly cluttered person and have never been interested in actually being organized. https://www.amazon.com/Life-Changing-Magic-Tidying-Decluttering-Organizing/dp/1607747308 ... Just in case anyone else was also curious. From the product description on Amazon, the main concept of the book is that you should only retain items in your home that "spark joy" - thus there is a joke implied that Randall is already doing the main concept from the book without having ever read it.

| − | Or it could be that he read the book to the part where it tells him to only retain items in your home that spark joy, realizes that the book is not one such item, and throws it out. [[User:Herobrine|Herobrine]] ([[User talk:Herobrine|talk]]) 00:45, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

| − | I've always also seen spring cleaning as a time to go into storage and pull out the warm weather clothes and pack away the snow clothes until the next year. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.22.200|172.69.22.200]] 20:55, 20 April 2018 (UTC)Rowan

| − | : My hard drive is more organized because there can be symbolic links on hard drive and some stuff can be organized automatically by software. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 00:52, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

| − | The idea to throw away everything which doesn't spark joy is similar to the idea of never have employment which doesn't spark joy. It's helping a lot if it works, but if you can't find such job, what are you supposed to do? (Wait. It's japanese book. Committing seppuku may be considered an option.) I think that the tidying book not sparking joy is not about irony in getting rid of item which would help him, but a practical example how such idea doesn't work for everyone. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 00:52, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

| − | My old computers need a new home. I have all but one I've ever used, & several I haven't. My trusty Kaypro II was my first PC. Then (in addition to a few terminals) I got a used, already old 8088XT (ran around 12Mhz, ''IIRC''). At some point around then I also got my first Apple PC: A Lisa. Beautiful beast; needs a power supply rebuild (don't they all). Later I upgraded my DOS collection to a genuine IBM Personal System 2 286. By this time Pentiums were already out... A few years later I was building Core 2 machines for my friends but was using a used $50 486 laptop myself. ("It's pre-Pentium, but it'll get you through the night." - internet cafe user on Caroline & The City) Eventually I got around to building a Core 2 Duo machine in a ridiculously tall full-tower case "Designed for Windows" circa '95. That board & many others have gone into sleeves & boxes over the years, while the full-tower case remains my primary build (ease of access); You can't have it. Somehow, without even having ever used them, I have also picked up an Epson 386 & a NeXT Station. It seems the only computer I've ever gotten rid of was the 486 laptop, which I sold back to the guy who I bought it from, several years later, for $50.
