I have been using my pine book pro for surfacing the web in bed and randomly yesterday it stopped booting and says root partition not found. IDK what happened.

This is pretty mild:
I was adding a wooden fence gate and needed a diagonal cross brace, which I needed to go buy as I was entirely out of spare 2x4s. This gate in particular is also narrower than usual because of its location.
As I was putting stuff up, I happened to see one hidden behind a shelf. I grab it to see if its too short but it lined up to the gate perfectly.
The weird part: It was already cut exactly as it needed to be.
I have no memory of buying this specific 2x4 let alone cutting it. It was also pressure treated wood so this is the perfect use case for it.

Not me personally, but at mu uni, a small gate which lead to nearest subway station and saved about 2-3 mins as opposed to going the longer route receently started requiring a entry at exit. A record entry at arrival kinda makes sense, because uni premises are generally treated as a "safe space" and I am not currently speaking of surveillance nature of this, that is a separate discussion. they require a entry at exit. Which does not make sense for many reasons - almost everyone inside is there for some reason, so what is the point of asking for this. students/staff have a pass to get in without entry just by showing pass from afar, but they are not even accpeting that. Their reason - apparently admin wants to close that door (because it is a door, someone needs to keep watch of it), so they want a record of how many people use it. and instead of doing a simple counting, or using the already nearby cctv cams to get rough headcount, they want people to register themselves going out - defeating the main point of that door - it was quicker. Now it takes just as long (there is a queue now as people have to wait for others to finish registering themselves. I timed myself going the longer route, and if i would have stood there, i would have taken longer. It to me is absurd.

That seems like something you need to raise with the students union, the admin are trying to rob you of an entrance to the premises and they're doing so with very underhanded means. I can't believe they're being so sneaky and evil over such a small thing!

in some sense, it is not small, the gate requires 1 or 2 people to look over, they are looking at cost of paying 2 people. Not saying it is good, and evil is too hard for me, but they certainly want to push us to not use the gate.
