    Latest update to Windows 10. It has slowed my laptop to a crawl.

      They don't teach the joys of Linux at CCT, do they? I guess Clarkson still sucks.

        Linux was a misspelled Peanuts character back in the mid 70s. I did Fortran and BASIC with some Assembler thrown in.

          You should play this. You would really enjoy it.

              Got some help from a third shift person this morning. However, the help was short lived. She got upset that the tank she cleaned was dirty. She took her ball and went home, claiming we were picking on her. No, if a tank isn't clean, we send it back and fix it. Cross contamination is a legitimate threat where I work...

                  I'm more worried about having to tell grown-arse people to not eat laundry detergent.
                  Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                      Now they've instituted a new program. You have to register online, and then track your activities/moods/every ****ing thing, and put it all on some website, every single day. When you do this, you are rewarded with points that convert to discounts on your health insurance. You can take challenges with your team! Share your activities! It's fun!
                      I found out last week you get ZERO credit for any workouts, steps or activities, unless you have a digital activity tracker, like a Fitbit.

                      So even if I do every single thing on their list (and believe me, not one person on the planet is going to do THAT), I STILL wouldn't get the premium discount, because I don't own a digital device.

                          I've never had a problem with Win10, but plenty of other people complain about it. Weird.

                          Every OS Sucks - still relevant.

                                Exhibit A They don't really want to motivate you. They want to say they do and then put up multiple barriers for you to achieve that have nothing to do with a goal. I hate insurance companies.
