I'm surprised I've never had one cause me any issues considering how bad my kidneys are.
I imagine I have a lot and just don't know it yet.
Hey, as long as they're just floating in your kidneys.
It's when they decide they've had enough and want to leave that they become a problem!

Turned my desktop on finally and updated everything... and then windows wanted to restart. If windows 10 installed I will throw this *** at Candlebob.

So the ticket was just a stupid pop-up with a fake tech support number. She had like 15 coupon blah blah extensions though, I deleted that crap without even asking her about it.
I already dislike plain coke, and asparagus blended sounds like a terrible idea... but honestly I just want this crap gone, so I will give it a shot.

Seriously remove KB3035583 it's the GWX update utility that has decided to start scheduling updates for people. After you remove, recheck for updates and unlick and hide it.
You will need to obviously turn your updates to "notify but don't install" or one of the similar options.
Don't need any extra software or anything, it's really easy, just may take a few minutes because Windows Updates is slow.
On another note recently they've announced that they're basically released a cumulative patch for Win7 updates, basically a SP2 but without the name, so that will be cool.

New Teacher: How do I get my personal iPad on the wifi network?
Me: Right now, due to network limitations, the superintendent is not allowing us to put personal devices on the network.
New Teacher: Okay... So how to I request to get an iPad for a student?
Me: A single iPad? For a single 'student' to use?
New Teacher: Yes, for a student to use.

yes....yes it is....
Gross Stories From OldWorld!!!
<echo trails off>
when I was young, dumb and full of...coke-a-cola. I used to drink dark cola from dawn until dusk and then switch to beer....many years passed and the cola slowly leeched enough calcium out of my bones to form a small attack squad of oddly shaped alien orb beings...
the gross part is they give you a small sieve to catch the stone so they can analyze it...
then they say... yup...another tragic case of too much cola...you should probably never drink it again...
I had many questions
why is cola still legal? why does it have so much goddamend acid in it? why didn't anyone tell me before?
Never drink dark cola. it's evil and evil is bad and it makes kidney stones and kidney stones are like vlad the impaler running up in your guts with a pike and then you slowly slide down forever or until the stone passes...

I don't drink a LOT of dark cola, only really when special kinds come out like the "real sugar" pepsi or the cherry vanilla pepsi.
Mine I am PRETTY SURE are from drinking 2-3 energy drinks a day on average for about 6 years.

Also for any poor soul who has 10 forced on them now, you can usually revert within 30 days.

iirc it's the citric acid in cola and energy drinks that leeches calcium from your bones

PARKER's fun facts about Citric acid
Citric acid is an excellent chelating agent, binding metals. It is used to remove limescale from boilers and evaporators.[9] It can be used to soften water, which makes it useful in soaps and laundry detergents. By chelating the metals in hard water, it lets these cleaners produce foam and work better without need for water softening. Citric acid is the active ingredient in some bathroom and kitchen cleaning solutions. A solution with a 6% concentration of citric acid will remove hard water stains from glass without scrubbing. In the industry, it is used to dissolve rust from steel. Citric acid can be used in shampoo to wash out wax and coloring from the hair.

I like 10 on my desktop.
My laptop is a different story, but my laptop is just temperamental no matter what OS it has, it seems.

Also it appears naturally in citrus fruits, and in more or less anything that has fruit-based citrus flavoring*, hence the name.
*as opposed to "natural flavors," which may or may not be actual citrus. Though oddly, citric acid is probably still present.
There's a whole list of delicious things you shouldn't go near if you're worried about kidney stones.
Bottom line is that ***is delicious.

old age is simply defined as one diet restriction at a time until you either starve to death or die of bored tastebud syndrome

Sorry, I just don't have problems with 10. It runs well for me and the only problems I've encountered deal with trying to use 8+-year-old software on it and even then there's workarounds most of the time, I just have to, you know, try.
I get that new OS's tend to be headaches for networking people, but that's just not a problem for me.

Changed nothing for me other than having a less annoying start menu.
I didn't even get a warning about the installation though, no "I'm about to install something" or even "hey I'm about to reboot" the damn thing just upped and shut itself down starting the installation.
It's not like I wanted to give you my opinion or anything pc.

I love 10.
Only, we call it X. Well, OS X to be precise.
Well, if you wanna be really accurate, it's OS X Mavericks. Does a fine job, though.

60 million downloads celebration on Dokkan Battle.
Quote: 1: A Dragon stone a day for nearly 3 weeks (plus an assortment of similar novelties)
2: Hero Extermination Event.
3: 30% off baba store points.
4: 2X quest experience
5: Probability of training success multipliers doubled (eg "Big Success 1.2X xp" when training)
6: The levels for all 5 awakening medals are up for the entire event.
7: Dokkan fest summon featuring only the TUR villains, and each of their dokkan events.
8: Two special discounted summons featuring either Surpreme super attacks (Starting on the 2nd) or strong leader skills (Starting on the 7th). So that's around 20 or so stones from logins and... maybe 30 or so from Hero Extermination Plan. Definitely gonna have enough to do 3 pulls on Gogeta. :3

I think I already did before I packed my stuff up. I guess its not a huge deal since like you said I can just revert or if worse case happens I have a win 7 disk.

Well, if you wanna be really accurate, it's OS X Mavericks. Does a fine job, though. I might get some crap for this but I liked what little interaction I've had with Mac OS. I still think they are way over priced but I don't mind the OS.

Coka cola (or just coke) is ok in small amounts, its a drink for kids at parties. Or at roast dinners if too cheap for alchomahlols.

I still think they are way over priced but I don't mind the OS. I look at the price as paying for quality. I've had this laptop for 3 years now and it's still ticking like I bought it yesterday. Hell, I've even had water damage and it's still running like brand new.
I liken it to food. Sure, you can feed yourself with cheap food, but it won't taste that great and it's probably going to make you sick at one point or another. But if you buy quality ingredients, sure it's more expensive, but you get so much more out of them. I don't mind paying a little more for something that will last me a number of years without falling apart.

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
