Likewise. We moved in to new apartment a month and half ago and stopped going to supermarket. There are people from nearby village who come every morning with fresh vegetables. Yes the produce is not as shiny as it is in supermarket but somehow look, well, real. This adds one chore to wash away the soil in the leafs and roots but it is worth it. Plus, we feel we are doing something good for these farmers.

And like every other 'innovative' real food company (read anyone and anything but soylent's sludge) that's cropped up on the internet, they only offer family of 4 sized portions. Got a bigger family, well I hope it's 8 or 12 people at your table, smaller and you'd better learn to love left overs. I don't have a problem with cooking 2 meals worth of food for myself; but things I want to eat 4x within a week are few and far between.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That sounds like a bug. I mean, a bog.

That's a load of crap, John. Everyone knows the upgrade takes days.

Coincidentally, the other week, an attempt was made to "upgrade" my laptop to a cr@p OS.

Two nights ago my spare Win7 laptop was on while I was working with the primary laptop. I look up and it has started the Win10 upgrade by itself. Bah, Humbug. Let it finish (as there's no cancel button.)
Tried to get some old programs running -- a couple of hours later said to myself, why should I fight to get old reliable programs running? So started the "return to Win7 OS". After it was back to Win7, I installed the "GWX Control Panel." Kind of like using a plunger on the toilet to push out a blockage and throwing in some "Lime Away."

Partial text of a recent question:
Quote: I just concluded my Qbasic programming and next semester we are going into Java.
|
|
|
|

I saw a question about QBasic a few weeks and I was curious to see how QBasic works for me...and realized that I can't even install it...it was part of Windows in Me last time...So where they still use it as a learning tool?

Everywhere Win10 won't install itself...

That is...nowhere? This morning even my sink asked for OS upgrade (and I though it runs on Linux)...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Nah...sinks are TAP devices[^] so they run on Android.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

That explains why after the upgrade it leaks...

So what else is new?
My problem with this bugware is a totally different one: I don't want it and I don't want Windows Update to use up a month's bandwith to download it, just in case I change my mind or forget to insist on not wanting it.
Slowly I'm getting really tired of them and if they are 'successful', then I will get rid of their bugware altogether and have some fun with Linux.
