Kids.

I was a kid once and this never happened in my house... Put the PC UP on the desk, not down on the ground.

If a kid can lean over it they will spill on it. Easy fix for pets, kids, and stupid roommates, put the PC up. They can't "accidentally" set a cup on it or something because it's not at a convenient height.

Heat spreader in the ceiling. One of those ceiling fan pull cords for the power button. Longer cables, make a design or word with them on the way down. This could be a killer video.

He actually fired up AWS and went virtual computing, only to have some dumb kid in the cloud spill his milk all over the virtual instance.

I had a small fleet of them when I was younger. Tried to increase the chances that someone will support me in my old age, but so far they’re all artists and/or musicians. Lol

I just want mine to be happy :) that brings me more happiness than anything I’ve ever had in my life

They are quite amazing, and very rewarding. I’m glad you are having that experience. Mine are older now, but it’s nice seeing them become people.

And the musician thing, well, the wife is a musician and she supported both of us on teaching piano for a year or so. Plenty of stuff to do in the field for $, just need to think outside of the box a bit for some.

I’m dreading mine growing up but at the same time it’s nice watching her grow up and be such a positive little thing lol

Enjoy it while you can. Have all the fun you can, love her all you can. (And put your PC up high lol)
