This shit sounds like when your mom tells you that the Facebook printed out her bank statement on the fax machine. I'm not smart enough to even guess how you did something dumb enough to make that happen.

How bad are you at writing queries? How does your hard drive overheat even under 100% load? Do you have it smothered under a blanket? Did you crack it up and expose it to cheeto dust? What does running a query on your, presumably, remote database even have to do with your harddrive in the first place? Are you trying to copy the entire database locally to a laptop? Do you know how to tie your shoes yet, or are you still on the velcro?

This shit sounds like when you’re mom tells you that the Facebook printed out her bank statement on the tax machine.

My dear sweet mother asked me somewhere around 2005-06 "If we can fax paper, why not groceries, or pizza delivery?"

Apparently she had believed, for decades, that fax machines literally transported physical paper over phone lines. She has a college degree, and my family is wealthy.

Do not underestimate the mind boggling technical and scientific ignorance of old people who should know better.

I remember thinking that when I was a kid and saw a clip on PBS Kids of a kid using their home fax machine to fax their dad a picture they drew at work. I was also like 4 so teleportation was still distinctly possible to my brain

A laptop should easily handle a database of 60,000 rows. I run much bigger databases on my own laptop for development purposes.

Not if it is filled to the brim with 3 TB of porn

Delete Ass Master volume 7 to make room - that one wasn't any good anyways.

Really went downhill after volume 3. You hope that they'll get back on course by volume 6 at least, but alas.

I can personally vouch for that not causing a problem either.
