So that's what they mean when they constantly complain about not kicking only the pragmatic Orcs into Mt. Doom!
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Nah. Mordor got Patriots[^]. They call that 'Blazing Skies'.

Yeah, atoms make up stuff, newspapers make stuff up, project managers stuff up.

Where do you get these from? If you make even a reasonable fraction of them up, you've missed your calling.

Years ago I whitelisted CodeProject in my ad blocker.
However, I just got so fed up of the flashing ads distracting me while I was trying to read an article that I enabled ad blocking again.
I now feel a little bit dirty and guilty ... but I also feel calmer and more able to relax and simply read stuff. That's what I come here for.
@chris-maunder, if you undertake to make sure that ads are not flashy and distracting then let us know and I will chain up the ad blocking rottweiler again.

We have a policy in place that doesn't allow anything overly annoying. Our tolerance level may be different than yours, so your mileage may vary.
In any case, we appreciate the gesture. These servers don't pay for themselves.

Thunderbird (my RSS reader of choice, even though it's a full email client reader and complete overkill for managing RSS feeds) decided on its own to update itself. I really wish, in hindsight, I had taken a screenshot of the message, but after it had updated itself silently, it came up with a prompt saying it needed to restart.
I don't have the exact wording (and thus the reason I wish I had taken a screenshot), but based on my decades of using PCs, it seemed pretty clear it wanted to restart the computer as it pretty much used the standard verbiage we've all seen and perhaps used ourselves. I'm not sure why it would need to restart the whole OS (it's just a self-contained client and should certainly not be replacing shared components), maybe because it couldn't cleanly replace some of its own files while it's running, which is why I usually download and install updates myself rather than let it handle updates on its own...
Anyway. I made sure I had saved everything, shut down a few apps, then went back to Thunderbird to tell it to go ahead. So it restarted itself. And only itself. And was done. No need to restart the whole computer, so...great? But in hindsight, that was a really poorly worded, misleading message.
Not having to restart a computer after an application update should be pretty much taken for granted, so good on them for not making it a requirement. But it's a sad state of affairs when you've been trained to expect full reboots so if a message has any amount of ambiguity, you take for granted your system will be rebooted once again...
Please, if you're going to prompt the user for anything, make sure your messages are clear...
[/rant]
[Edit]
I suppose the opposite situation is even worse...I've seen apps restart the whole system after approving a vague prompt that I didn't realize was about to shut everything down...
