Free up space by moving data such as videos, photos, and documents to external hard drives or USB sticks. Ensure you regularly back up important data to avoid loss.

10. Using Cloud Storage Solutions

Cloud storage services like OneDrive, Google Drive, and Dropbox offer substantial space. Move infrequently accessed files to the cloud to save local disk space.

11. Conclusion

Dalish Inquisitor who never had a proper place to set up roots, always on the move. Yes the Clan is their family, their home, but they yearn for a place to call home, like Arlathan used to be, like the Dales used to be.

Dalish Inquisitor who is slowly making a home out of Haven, slowly feeling like this is a place they can set up some roots. One of the old Magisters of Tevinter takes this home away. As his people have done before. The Mages of Tevinter or the Templars who destroy any magic, and the Blight, destroying their home, like all of those destroyed their home in the past.

Dalish Inquisitor who feels at home in Skyhold. Who finally is putting down roots. "it's their fortress". Corypheus attacks again but this time it resists. It stands.

Dalish Inquisitor who walks all over Orlais and in Halamshiral where their people used to have roots. All of it belongs to pompous nobles now. This home can never be a home again.

Dalish Inquisitor who is asked to conform with the Chantry either by disbanding or by joining it: but either way, by giving up Skyhold.

There is never a home for the Dalish Inquisitor. Only the same people as ever stealing their home. They move from one place to the next, like their clan used to do when things became dangerous.

In hatred and in worship it is always the same: there is no place to call home. Only its people. But the roots, they yearn.

You ever think about the fact that the Michael we'd had this whole time, the Michael that Base broke out of the Compound, is and was most likely just one of the various iterations and not technically the "real" Michael That the Original Michael, that one made the deal with Ty, that walked into the Compound willing to be experimented on to try to keep everyone safe, most likely never left and probably died there?

I think it would be awesome if BTS and SKZ did a collaboration with both groups in full. It'd be fun to see. But the *process* ...

Picture this:

RM and Chan finally emerge from the studio after 48 hours of non-stop working, no food, no sleep. They have created the most perfect song ever produced; the gods themselves are gonna come down to dance to it. But they want second opinions on the lyrics so, they head for the practice room to look for their other members.

As soon as the door opens...

Lee Know, Felix and Jimin are working hard on a choreography, but Felix and Jimin keep fangirling at each other and LK looks one giggle away from making them both eat tissue paper.

Behind them, Jin and Hyunjin got into a catfight. For what reason? Not even they know. They're not even hitting each other hard, they're mostly flailing smacks, but both of them are screaming like they're being stabbed.

On the opposite wall, Changbin and Hobi are attempting some Chinese Acrobat- type stunt where Binnie launches Hobi in the air and he does a triple flip or something, while Seungmin and V loudly cheer them on. A few feet behind, I.N. is eating lunch and recording everything for posterity. He tried to be mature and get everyone in order but gave up immediately.

Finally, the leaders' incredulous stares come back around to the small circle near the door. At least those three are in peace, right?

More or less. Upon closer inspection, they find out JK, Han, and Yoongi are completely dissociated, in a circle. Han even has a note taped to his back: "Do not disturb the Zone-Out Zone. We'll be back in 6-8 business hours".

RM and Chan sigh the loudest sigh ever and start rolling up their sleeves. This is going to be a four ibuprofens type of afternoon.
