Pondering an infinite number of galaxies over a bowl of fortified Cheerios realizing that several of them had faster than light travel since lost to time. The plot that launched a thousand novels.

Wait, McAfee emptied the hard drive?

No, McAfee wasn't doing anything abnormal.
Task Manager showed the hard drive at 100% utilization, at least when it was updating.

I ran into a computer today that was running extremely erratically. Hard drive at 100%. System totally unresponsive for minutes at a time.

Panasonic Toughbook only used for connecting to car computers. Its original OS was Vista and it was running 10.

Used only to connect to a cars computer, get the codes and turned off.

It never has a chance to do any maintenance or updates.

It was trying to install a McAfee update.
I uninstalled McAfee as soon as it was chilled out which took about an hour, restarted the computer and in about 10 minutes it was down to 0%'ish CPU and hard drive usage.

I told them that they just need to leave it on and restart it once a week.
That way it will always be ready to go.

If the code can execute, the hardware should constrain any power or thermal loads so that nothing fails.

Amazon is in the right here.

The list is mind numbing.

0-60 in under 2 seconds. That would embarrass pretty much 99.99% of sportbikes. Can't imagine that kind of acceleration.

But for $129,990 you can get a couple sport bikes that almost go as fast.
And no Tesla sounds this ludicrous https://youtu.be/MBbskqcgs_o

I think you got it reversed, only .01% of the sport biker owners will stick around for the 5 minutes while the Tesla battery warms up enough to enable this mode.

Now that’s funny.

You would think someone on his staff, or his wife, would have told him the suit didn't look good on him, but then again I assume NO ONE tells him anything he doesn't want to hear.

No one told him he was trailing toilet paper either. He's surrounded by people that detest him.

HaHaHa
The ignore feature does not change the number of posts of the ignored. Nor does it change the correctness of said posts.
GQP logic, or lack thereof, never ceases to amaze.

Twitter is sueing the Texas AG.

Ted Cruz has already solved the winter storm problem...

He solved it the only way he could:
As 3 million Texans shivered in the dark, Sen. Ted Cruz jetted off to Cancun with his family, outed instantly by fellow vacationers and berated by normal human beings for abandoning constituents during an epic statewide power crisis.

Not having seen any of the Mandalorian yet, I'm curious if her character's absence is going to cause any story issues?

It won't change a thing.
They could replace her and have someone else play the part and no one would care.

In Feb 2019 it released to bad reviews.

I see our knuckle dragging mouth breathers are still around bleating their favorite code words for anything anti-Nazi/white supremist.

Your comment managed to stir up another one.
Bravo good sir.

They can restrict all of his tweets from now on.

They had better pay full bonuses for as much money as this game will make them.

I feel no sorrow for anyone who pre-ordered this game or those that purchased it thinking it would work well on old consoles/hardware.

Caveat Emptor.
What is so difficult about waiting for reviews and patches.

You know what someone really needs to investigate?

Living people who voted for Donald Trump for president.

How is that possible?

Time to invoke the 25th on 45.
He has proven time and time again that he's not up to the task.

He didn't do much with jobs. The trend line was the same as Obama.

That's something that people just don't seem to get. They see Trump as some kind of big job creator, when in reality he did nothing to improve job growth over Obama. Nothing at all. A third Obama term would have been better for jobs, or at least the same as under Trump. Certainly not any worse.

Who do you think you are coming into this thread with facts, logic and critical thinking. That stuff is not allowed here, consider this your third warning.
