Hi Folks!
According to a recent article by ZDNet a (current) Windows computer
needs to be powered on *and* connected to the Internet for a minimum for
two hours to do its updates properly.

Yeah, that's what I've noticed... when Win8 or 10 decides to do
an update, it just flat out stalls for a couple hours, while it
downloads and installs a whole new monkey. Good thing I didn't
actually NEED to use it. Just let it crank, tho it'll look hung
the whole time... and will also totally monopolize your internet connection (since Win8, it no longer shares gracefully with other devices).
Just wait til it tries to install Win11 on the sly... weeks
later......
Tho this time when the update finished, I found myself the proud
new owner of Microsoft Office Online Edition. Where'd THAT come
from?? (Normally it has a monthly charge. This'un is completely
free, including the 5GB of storage. I was like... wtf. Well, at
least it's nicer than Office 2016, which is total suck.)
Of course, this is the same PC where Win10 magically
self-activated, apparently finding adequate Lenovo's embedded
Win7 license (which Win7 refused to have anything to do with).

... Error: Blue Screen Of Death. Would you like a better OS??
.. Oh! Blue screen of death
Fatal error has occurred
I move palm to face.
As for the Blue Screen of Death, maybe all it needs is a little
cheering up! <rs!>

Even better would be to have it in hexadecimal: people look up the BSOD
code and also this code! At least provide a litle cheer to the guy experiencing the problem!

What, you're not happy with the long strings of machine code it
used to spit up? :D

Or like the guy who was at the fancy restaurant...the maitre'd
came up to the table, and asked "Wine, sir??".
The man starts sobbing and bawling "Well, if you insist!!". <G>

I've got a file with haikus on computer crashes...it gets
posted into the comedy echoes on the BBS every so often.
Heck I didn't even know pizzas had livers! Wonder if they have
spleens, and appendixes, and.....
Suppose better than tapping together two slices of browned bread:
toast!
How about a 1 cent royalty, in perpetuity.... I've been watching _Shark Tank_ too long!

Or like the slimmed down book...it had its appendix removed.
Actually, while I'm classed as Obese Class 2, I identify with
slim folks...so, I'm trans-slender. <G>

About a month ago, I started eating wheat bread...it's rare
I'll eat white bread anymore.
Send me an email, and I'll send you those computer haikus.
If you can vermiform spaghetti you should be able to have a vermiform appendix! (Wonder how fish like?)

Barry,
There was a story where a guy ate leftover noodles and Chinese food. He got sick as a dog (violently ill), and apparently became a double amputee.

You're just trying to butter things up, aren't you?? <G>

Some haiku express
Insights of truth and beauty
But this one does not.
Roomie brought home Chinese chicken-noodle stuff.
Victim found it in the fridge ate what was left.
Victim became violently sick.
Went to ER then ICU. Tissue necrosis => amputations.
Diagnosed as bacterial meningitis, and soaked with antibiotics.
Why did he get sick but roomie didn't?
Roomie did; was nauseus. BUT... roomie had both his vaccinations.
Victim had the first one but not the booster.
Ooops.
If you can still see the food, there's not enough butter!!
Got 'em - thanks!
Say good night, Gracie!
Are you trying to warn me if I keep it up I'm toast?!

A bad deal all around. I'm very careful with leftovers...meat and eggs
can be very funky that way.

Ooops.
I've had both shots and the booster. I keep wondering if they're going
to make a yearly shot like the flu.

I prefer my popcorn with extra butter, but light on the salt.

I rememeber in high school English class, we did a unit on both poetry
and haiku's.
The one that comes back to me is the difference between prose and poetry. Poetry rhymes, but prose doesn't.
Men are from Mars. Women are from Venus.
Men like cars. Women like...............
Well, what do you want?? Prose or poetry?? <G>

Ky,
If you are referring to the Covid-19 vaccination and booster I don't
think that is the vaccination they were referring to that he didn't
have. Doctors discovered that he had only received one of three doses of
a meningococcal conjugate vaccine without a booster and had only
received one dose of a serogroup B meningococcal vaccine out of two or
three recommended by the CDC.
Got 'em - thanks!
Thankfully, I kept power from this winter storm, but many folks
to the east of Little Rock are still in the dark.
Say good night, Gracie!
Good night, Gracie...but, I thought your name was Barry. <G>

A birthday toast...
Today's your birthday, and it is great...with friends here to
celebrate.
With wine pouring in the glass, and on this day...you can.... <G>
... Spank Hers...Protect Yours...Kiss Mine!!

Friend got hit with the intestinal bug that was carried on ...fresh
bagged salad? spinach? Something like that, back some years... he was already in a wheelchair and despite months in hospital it gave him explosive diarrhea for the rest of his life, and eventually killed him.
I've had both shots. Will not get a booster. Corona is 1) not that
deadly, 2) it's starting to look like repeated boosters of the mRNA
type can predispose one to an autoimmune reaction when challenged by actual virus. Some is good, more is not better.
I speak from a background in biochemistry, and some specific
experience. I'm still annoyed that NO ONE looked at the very good
canine corona vaccine, which has been around for 30 years, is almost ubiquitous, and is pretty clearly WHY dogs don't get symptoms from
COVID. (Unvaccinated dogs DO.)
Well, see? you've properly hidden the popcorn. <g>
I wonder if my atrial fibrillation was caused by the Pfizer shot...or
from drinking a half gallon of diet green tea citrus a day?? But, since
I quit drinking carbonated beverages, I haven't had a kidney stone in
the last 3 years.
