Now, if any of you know me here, there is one issue that just burns me. Microsoft forced updates rebooting **** for seriously stupid reasons. I think that decision deserves a baseball bat to the knees of the person who made that decision. But wait, maybe it was made by committee. Fine, more baseball bats and I'll start a lottery of who wants to whack a knee.
Why do I bring this up now? Well, I'm trying to stage a virtual machine for my customer before I disappear into the retirement cloud. I'm clicking on Windows Update. It will not install. It won't download. I've been at this for 4 hours. Grrrr.
Elephanting clowns.

I wish, but the Pentagon, in an infinite amount of stupidity has pushed their stuff to the cloud being assured it was secure.

No worries. The cloud operators were undoubtedly certified for compliance with a 1000-page manual of DoD HW, SW, and operational requirements that guarantee the security of any system.

Possibly from the past though.
I posted on Thursday about the Royal Mail and it's tracking systems, but I've just had an SMS from the company that sent the delivery that arrived on Thursday to say they just sent it ... so either it's going to willan-have been on-delivered before it willan-dispatch was on-sent, or I'm getting at least one more to be delivered at some unknown point in myfuture mynow.
I hate time machines.

where are you generally? I'm baking north of Atlanta. We're so dry here, I refused to do fireworks.

In north western washington state. We missed the heat dome, but I'm whiner when it's anywhere near 70F and I'm trying to sleep. Also comedic license.

lol. You are in a section of the country where you need a/c 5, maybe 10 days a year. So most places don't have it. I have friends in the northeast who have the same predicament. Here in the South, we embrace ac systems. Happen to have 2 4 ton units - which are LARGE units. When I want ac, Sauron bends his knee

Hey neighbour
I am just north of you, just a bit east of Vancouver. Also enjoying our mini ‘heat’ wave.
