    Nick is Linus’ nemesis, I have never seen Linus so triggered by someone to this point, he felt helpless and he looked hopeless.
    Linus tried several different tactics, pointed everything that was wrong, Nick gave *_ZERO F%$#_* which drove Linus even crazier!
    Then Linus gave up and went for immature warfare but what really kills Linus is the fact that deep inside he knows that Nick might not even undo the mess he created on purpose.
