No, I'm asking why it's another source of unnecessary complexity in my life.
I mean, I could simplify my life so much if I just didn't have any electronic (note: not necessarily no electric) devices except my mobile phone, but, what point would that prove?

Oh so you are a crazy irrational person whose hobby is probably standing outside a deli and handing out poorly-xeroxed religious propaganda.
And how would that affect you? Besides, I don't use Xerox to photocopy my religious propaganda.

Yes, but this was in response to an hour long debate on buying gift cards with gift cards.
So, I just had to try it and see what's what.

Well, start by not reinstalling Windows until you (a) have a serious problem and (b) know that only reinstalling Windows will fix it.

Run it as

@tsaukpaetra I assume that's how you run an admin program from a non-elevated shell? I just hit +X, I to open it elevated already.

@accalia I liked the third game slightly more than Dawn and Dusk, but it was never translated :(

That seems to just open Powershell, unelevated.
This computer has an odd issue where it won't elevate programs automatically, despite UAC being set to "ELEVATET ALL TTA THINGS WAH!", so I have to resort to trickery to get it to prompt me.

@tsaukpaetra Oh, my bad, I typed the wrong thing. +X, A, not I.

Status: my last day before Christmas leave and my effective last day at $governmentDepartment and the Fast Disappearing Mothership. Finished my in-progress work already so I'm at a bit of a loose end and I don't want to go o.O
I have no objection to leaving the Mothership - without them I'd probably be an accountant, and hating it, so I am glad I signed up with them, and I'd recommend them to other people in the same situation. I'm even glad I stayed with them an additional two years (give or take) after my indentured servitude, as I've got a lot out of this last placement. But I never wanted to stay with them long-term, and I'm really glad to have got a permanent job in the city I want to be in.
But I am sad to be leaving the placement I'm on now, and the team I'm working with and this project, and I'm currently getting all soppy and emotional with nothing to distract me.

Also, that has absolutely nothing to do with Spanish culture. Or even Mexican, really. AIUI, it is celebrated in the one village where the battle occurred, and by gringos as an excuse to drink cerveza.

- sidles away slowlyI often felt that most Baltic holidays were of this nature. They seemed to have an official holiday (involving copious amounts of alcoholic beverages) every other Friday (and conspicuously on Fridays). Of course beer is just a starting point for them.
As I heard it explained (by a Belorussian, but speaking for all russian-ethnics):
Russians drink beer like others drink water. We drink vodka like others drink beer. And we drink moonshine like others drink vodka.

@pie_flavor I'm hoping that it'll stick around in the back of your mind, then when you least expect it the realization will hit you, like a palm to the face. Which I expect will follow immediately after.

@timebandit I acquired distractions after lunch. It was the end of a sprint today so we had our show and tell, and then I got ambushed by the other team with which we are affiliated and presented with a card and some stuff (including the world's nerdiest teapot) and shortly after that we went off to the pub.

Status: Good news! The index changes resulted in >99.9% reduction in CPU time and >99.99% reduction in I/O for the support procedures for the printing process!
Bad news! The performance improvement was so momentous that the print process is now failing because the SSRS server exploded under the volume.
At least it was only Stage...
