It is certainly going to be difficult to figure out fact from conspiracy theory. I don't live a lifestyle where I am at much risk at getting infected - my life didn't change at all during lockdowns - so I am okay with waiting a long time.

I feel bad for the people who really need it and might - hopefully not - suffer for it.

Please get help, you clearly need it. No one on here told you to kill yourself. No one implied it and no one said it was right that someone might have said it on FB.

This is not a joke, please get help.

Is all this drama and angst worth a meaningless FB post about Game of Thrones?

It has now spilled over into at least one other website, I am sure others. Is it worth it?

Please get help.

What is awesome about Qwickster is that is that their stock price was around $300 when they announced they were splitting off the business that was bringing in the most revenue and had the highest profit margin and it crashed to around $50.

They haven't recovered much since, yet somehow Hastings never got fired for sheer arrogance and stupidity. This newest round of idiocy dropped their stock over 12% today, yet the moron remains.

Why exactly would you need to reference something sketched on a whiteboard years later?

Notes aren't meant to be a historical record. If it is something that needs to be documented for posterity, there are better things than notepads and whiteboards.

What do you think project documentation is?

Hint: it is not notes and not pictures of whiteboards

I just set up a new Dell laptop for a friend.

It required a ton of work for a new laptop. Sound was miserable and required that I search Dell's website for a proper driver and then mess with settings to get it acceptable.

Same with graphics drivers to get the screen to auto-rotate in tablet mode.

Of course, I had to install anti-beacon + anti-virus since it was Windows 10.

Most Linux distros work without extra effort once the install is done.

Windows is significantly harder to install and setup, even if an OEM installs it.
