That doesn't seem so bad....
uninstall skype myself
#FUCK YOU MICROSOFT
Fucking skype. They're already on my shitlist for auto-installing Skype hidden in a Windows Update.
-
and of course hitting change in programs and features allows me to "repair" my install or "online repair" my instalation, neither of which let me uninstall any of the bundled apps!
- Explorer
- c:\program files\Microsoft
- select Skype
- shift-del

Run Windows Update
Skype magically returnsSkype is built in to Windows now. You'd have to uninstall it the Windows way, and even that might not work.
Edit: nope, maybe try removing it in your app list in Store?

- create file called c:\program files\Microsoft\Skype.
- create ACL denying write/delete access to file

nope, gas.i think the part that broke it's the thermocouple( i don't know if it's the correct english translation. the little copper filament that closes the vale if the fire is extinguished)
I've had that go. Sometimes it's just build-up, so it can't sense something, and it shuts off the flame.

Give it time, they'll it into your computer eventually.

-
I'm not particularly Skype-phobic, and since others I know use it, it won't bother me to install it.

- Breakfast: Honey Bunches of Oats from work snack rack

Lunch: Work-sponsored seafood (mahi mahi tacos)
Maybe it's just from living further East but-- mahi mahi? That isn't cheap at all. Nice score for "no pay for food".

So you put salt on top of your salt? :kidney_stone:

Man, I don't think I've SEEN mahi mahi on the east coast. Which is odd, because they do live in the Caribbean. Maybe it's just that my grocery stores around here just suck severe balls.
Had some as sashimi in SoCal once.

$15.95.
Is that what you consider expensive? Or maybe Seattle's just utopia OH WAIT IT IS.

How much is it where you live (in American dollars, I don't understand your silly Canadian Pesos)? Around here, it is not what I would consider to be expensive.

Salt has fuck-all to do with kidney stones. Why do you hate salt? What did it ever do to you? Was your grandfather killed in a salt mine collapse?

$15.95 USD is on the very upper range of what I'd pay for a casual lunch. Then again, I'm almost always eating home-made meals (call it $2 ), so if I DID go out for lunch, I wouldn't mind spending $16 on something special.

A Mexican place I love does 3 mahi-mahi fish tacos for $11.95 CAD which as of right now is $8.34 USD.
Going from memory, "fresh" previously frozen is, I dunno, $20/lb-- so $14 USD / lb?

So you wouldn't pay it.

Why not make up your fucking mind, then come back, ok?

Status: debit card update!!!
I just got an email from my bank that says that the card I was told over the phone was mailed on Saturday wasn't actually mailed until today. Ugh. They say 5-7 business days, but US Mail usually is 2-3 days from my experience unless they REALLY cheaped out on the postage. If I have to go a weekend with no plastic, I'll need to hit a bank on Friday probably.
But the new card will have that fancy microchip we were talking about in that other thread a few weeks ago. So whee I guess. It didn't mention RFID or tap-to-pay, so I assume it's the chip where you have to slide the card into the reader.

Status: Why am I being asked to create a "List all users" form, and a "List all users, but filtered via textbox" form? Is there any reason I shouldn't have the two combined?!

I finally found the one good thing about Discourse.
So, normally I have an internet connection with 20Mb/s down and 2Mb/s up and 4ms ping. But when I upload at all (e.g. video to YouTube), my ping goes over 2000ms and my download drops to 5Mb/s.
This forum is the only website that is not affected by my high ping and low download speed while uploading. It's the same experience no matter how fast my internet is! How consistent!

I'd be willing to bet that it has some potentially-minisicule influence on their formation or composition.

On the list of causes and people which need supporting with your money, "assholes who think putting speakers on your headphones is a good idea" are somewhere between "Donald Trump's presidential campaign" and "The Holocaust".

The cat ear parts aren't just 'cat ear' parts. The wording 'share with your friends' on the box didn't give it away? The little speaker-looking things on the ears themselves didn't give it away either?

I honestly saw cat ears and that was it.
