They're PLANNING on abandoning it, but it's not actually happened yet, and who knows when it will.

I have dozens of CDs and records. You don't run a YouTube channel that has a particular focus on having every single piece of work publicly released by particular artists you like without having to obtain some physical media yourself. Although I'm pretty sure that I'm quite young to be the type to do so, but that doesn't matter! (e): Also, it doesn't matter that I don't upload to that YouTube channel anymore, and haven't for a while. Blame Google and their attempted forced integration of Google+ for that, not me.

Well, one of the two people being a major problem in my family died today, but the hospital was able to resuscitate them after they flat-lined. It's a terrible, horrible thing to say/realize, but when it comes to the lives of small children and the ones who're abusing and neglecting them, and then not having any power (particularly legal) to fix the situation, ya' kinda just wish these people could somehow stay out of the picture entirely. These people are lost causes...their children might not be, if only you could put an end to the madness of their parents. I took care of my niece today. She's a huge pain in the butt, but she's a manageable huge pain in the butt. If only I could say the same for her lunatic parents...and if only, at the end of the day, you didn't have to hand children back to their crazy parents or risk becoming a lunatic yourself (in the eyes of the law, at the very least...). Life's so grand.

It looks appropriately post-apocalyptic, too. (edit): Although I'm having difficulty even finding prices...

I've always wanted a gas mask. Best of luck. (e): And a hazmat suit, while we're at it.

No, I didn't. It SMELLED like I did, but I didn't. Also, I edited my previous post slightly for more context.

I just wanted my garbage top back, man. (e): But on a more serious note, I was wearing long pants, work boots, work gloves, and a sweatshirt - didn't want to take any chances. Only thing that didn't have something covering it was my face/head...which I would've done if I could've, but I didn't really have anything.

Hey, it's what we grow our crops out of: no surprise it similarly sustains lesser(?) lifeforms.

I had to go dumpster diving at 5 in the morning today because I accidentally threw away the top of my garbage can away along with the actual garbage I was trying to throw out. Don't ask how: all I know is that when I came back into my home, the top was nowhere to be seen, and I was mad as hell. Went out there to look, and realized I would have to go back and get a flashlight because apparently it's a little dark at 5 in the morning - who knew? - and trying to peer into a dumpster at that time while also trying not to gag and throw up (I'm a little bit of a germaphobe and the smell of rotting food items is enough to trigger my gag reflex) is actually a little difficult. I'm just fortunate that it was 5AM, so nobody could actually see me jump and disappear into the dumpster itself...and nor my reemergence from it (and with my garbage can top in tow, of course).

https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/3fmrcl/githubs_new_code_of_conduct_explicitly_refuses_to/ I'm beginning to see why people might want to switch from github...and it's funny, people were recommending people switch from SourceForge to github not too long ago...

I used Opera for so long, but when they switched to being a Chrome clone, I had to make the switch to Firefox. oldOpera was just falling apart on most websites after so many years.

I would just like you to know...I tried listening to all of those, and I didn't like any. I think the first one summed it up quite well...

Not my favorite song of Watership Down, but it's still Watership Down, I suppose.

Yes...they do. Been trying to avoid having any myself with the recent difficulty I've been having with some of my own family members and their young children... Hang in there, bud.

That's not funny. And all you guys complained about me...

Holy moly, so either I get Windows Home for free, or I pay $200 for Professional. What silly pricing options.

I'm waiting for a real installer that I can use on any computer, formatted with W7/8 or not, before I bother...

Playing a role or character makes you a schizophrenic? Interesting stance, given the forums we're on...

It's offered by Windows Update KB3035583 (I know this since I've had to remove the update from several systems). If that Windows Update is already installed, then I'm not sure what's up. Weird that the clock speeds wouldn't stick: it did in my case, but my GPU at the time was the 5770, which may be old enough that that kind of mucking about was still functional.

Family crises and alcoholism: avoid both of them at all costs, folks, and absolutely never mix 'em together...particularly when there are children involved. Praying that everything turns out for the best (and that I'm not dead) over the next few days.

Okay, it sounds like they're going to court more over the precedent of suspending a player without solid proof rather than the specifics of the deflating of footballs case itself. That's interesting...I hope the NFL Players Association and Mr. Brady win it, since it does set a terrible precedent for the League in being able to suspend players without solid proof of actual wrongdoing...and over players "not cooperating". If it's not in a player's best interests to cooperate (fully - Mr. Brady and the Patriots mostly DID cooperate except in like one or two specific areas) with the League's pseudo-investigations, then that should be their right, IMO...at least in the case of the League (who do not directly employ Mr. Brady) vs Brady (...as opposed to a theoretical Patriots vs Brady case, where I feel that it would be more the Patriots' prerogative - they are directly employing Brady, after all - for deciding whether they want to punish him or not for this sort of thing).

Maybe if s13ep hadn't changed the font color of the entire post to a searing white for no reason, I would actually bother trying to read the entire thing...I hate it when people change their entire posts to a different size/font/color. There should really be a rule against doing this...for, uh, the sake of the children and everything. (e): Wait a second, aren't I calling myself a child by saying that, since it'd be for me? ...Whatever.

That's only...sort of true. There's no way to do it via the actual control panel, but you can manually edit some text profile...uh, file somewhere or another in your appdata directory: I know this because I messed around with mine a while back trying to unlock lower clock speeds for my 3D clock speed settings, and found the 2D settings as well as the "half speed" settings...and it annoyed me that, for the 2D settings, the memory clock speed was set to 157MHz instead of just 150MHz (making my OCPD flare up a bit, ), so I changed that, too.

Hey, it's not my fault it's not as funny or "ironic" as it initially seemed after a few moments of reflection, . It is my fault for actually bringing it to attention, though, so you got me there.
