[[A person is sitting at a desk, typing on a laptop.]]
Person: What I'm trying to do is really simple. It shouldn't be hard.
[[Someone off-screen speaks.]]
Off-screen: All computers are just carefully organized sand.
Everything
is hard until someone makes it easy.
[[The person leans back in their chair.]]
[[The person lifts the laptop off the desk, examining it like a book.]]
Person: Maybe I should turn this one
back
into sand.
Off-screen: I'll find a blowtorch.
{{Title text: (six hours later) ARGH. How are these stupid microchips so durable?! All I want is to undo a massive industrial process with household tools!}}
