Yup. “My excel is broken” is nightmare stuff. Fixing a printer can be as easy as unjamming some paper or replacing a toner cartridge.

And when it‘s really bad, you at least know that you for real can‘t do anything and have to wait for replacement parts or a technician. So no procrastination about how to fix it while you should be doing other things.

Yup. It also quickly regenerates from the tiniest root fragment, so not even plowing and shredding the ground destroys it.

My condolences about your yard.

Bamboo is beginner shit, if you really want to cause trouble, try japanese knotweed. They will never be able to get rid of that!
