Once you set up your office machine with those pile of IDEs, Tools & utilities, do you immediately create a recovery checkpoint?
I've always missed to do that. Now my freaking Windows notebook back to business with nonsensical disk & CPU usage. I've been trying to troubleshoot them myself, but the motivation gets dropped once the diagnostic tools start pointing Svchost.exe & other standard windows background services. 
Do you really create recovery checkpoints in your machines for quick restoration of law & order?

No, but I do take images. One when I finish a fresh install and the OS is all up to date, then another with all my normal apps installed and working.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Not recovery checkpoints handled by the OS.
Checkpoints handled by a VM host.

Depends: some apps, and Win updates, auto crearte a restore point.
I consider backing up the boot hard drive about once a week, and making a boot-disc, essential.

Come on, you are from America. There you have exactly one sort of ham, one sort of baloney, two sorts of bread and two sorts of beer. Not to mention some fake food[^] which is probably made out of petrochemicals.
And now you faint because of some unflavored gelatine? Be a man and live with this[^] for a while, bonus man points if the package is older than you.

Very much the same. Looks like I must get stealthy and fire up Tor.

If they can stomach (or their nose can stand) lutefisk  as my folks can, I suspect you are right.

When? Before the prohibition? I have heard that they are finally recovering from having to drink only Coors or Bud (both: YUCK!), but not when I lived there. Back then most of the drinkable stuff was brought by planes from this organisation: Airplane[^]
The price for the flights was ok, but the stewardesses were kindof unattractive.

I agree that both are irredeemably awful.
However they've got lots of awesome craft breweries now: Anchor, Sierra Nevada, Hopping Frog, Hill Farmstead, Dogfish Head, Lagunitas and Stone (which may have taken that plane in the opposite direction for their new bar in Berlin).
A couple of years ago I was at the Great British Beer Festival and I just camped out by the American bar because it was amazing.

What did put down as your email address? obnoxious.oaf@punchedstupid.com? That would be great if you did.
