The clue should have been, "Plant the woman after work". The way you wrote it I was trying to fit "her" into the name of some plant to produce a word that means work.

Yes, it might have been better that way round - but that's no excuse  If you can't get things to fit one way, you try others...

Isn't the first law of thermodynamics something to do with the amount of energy in a system being constant?

The link I provided explains it all very succinctly. (Like I said, never mind actual science - what's that got to do with anything these days?)

So... you are working and a bunch of updates get downloaded...
Then you can see a popup telling you that you can decide when to do the updates.
You decide to do it tonight and select that option.
You uninstall a software and need to restart the computer...
I thought... nah... now it will update it and I'll have to wait... but...
Oh my surprise, I've been able to select "restart" and not "restart and update".
Now is restarting...
AND updating...
At least is lunch time...

debatable.
98% of so called "updates" have no bearing on what people do with their computers. Why cant microsoft call a spade a spade?
doing sh*t just because we fell like it, and maybe, just maybe if you're lucky we may actually fix some other sh*t we got wrong.

I've been on Windows 10 with a work laptop for almost 2 months; I get the updates when they push them which is seldom.
Do personal users have to update? Can you choose to NOT update?

You have to use the Local Group Policy Editor, which gives you similar functionality that was (more readily) available in the control panel in Win7.

JSOP's on the right track.
I have enough VMs here at home that I can justify running my own WSUS server (so what updates find their way in is totally under my control), but I suppose you could run the local group policy editor, and configure it to use a non-existent WSUS server. So...no update would ever show up.
Then if there's something you think you absolutely need, you can go to catalog.update.microsoft.com and download whatever you want.

With all this bad weather we're having all I'm hearing is "what about the homeless people?"
You don't hear them worrying about us in the Summer. While we're all sweating our arses off in our offices they're all sunbathing in the parks whilst swigging cider.

One of the many reasons why I've always refused to work in an office. It's just one step up from prison.
|
|
|
|
|
Somehow, I beg to differ. Prison (rape, murder, fear, suicide, etc.) vs. Office (annoying people perhaps?).

There is an "open prison" in Holland of which the BBC was interviewing its governor. "Aren't you worried that prisoners will just walk out?" they asked. "Well," the governor replied, "if they do that too often we tell them they can't come back!" 
The whole world isn't like the USA. Some parts of it are actually reasonably civilised.

What a stupid comeback. Pick a country that is closing prisons at record rates because it doesn't have enough criminals as your argument piece. Holland, is not the rest of the world. Some of the world's worst prisons are in Europe as well.
Try again.

So, the prisons in Holland are so nice that the prisoners want to come back? Sounds like they are more of a pleasure resort than even American prisons. I thought punishment was the whole idea. I must be too old, or too conservative.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

No, punishment is half the idea - the other half being reform. Obviously these are only ever low-risk category prisoners, and the idea is to release them after their sentence with as low a chance that they will re-offend as possible - something most other prisons fail miserably at, where prisoners as often than not come out worse people than when they went in.
