I lived 5 years in Berlin, and 15 in Kaiserslautern, and have never been this cold.
The weather apps all say it's 35 degrees or so, but my fingers beg to differ. It can't be more than 10.
(1.6 and -12 for you Celsius people)

Probably the damp. I always found the UK hovering around freezing colder than I did Hungary at ten below. They are both cold compared to winter time Africa (North).

Sorry for this blatant sterotyping, but I've been told that's actually kind of how you Americans view our fireworks

I'm Canadian, not American, but I do live in the Deep South.
People here love their fireworks; we love them in Canada, too.
It isn't the volume of fireworks, it is the safe use of them.
I've seen fireworks displays tip over and start shooting horizontally - not fun.
I was at a commercially executed event; a spark hit the fireworks storage area and they all went off. One of the workers had one leave a nice hole through his lower legs, but it cauterized itself on the way out...
We decided to leave when the big supply went off before the emergency services could arrive and egress would be... difficult.

How cold is cold?
Colder than Fargo, North Dakota? Colder than Fairbanks, Alaska?
Is it windy, in addition to being cold? Like in Chicago, where they actually have ropes along the sidewalks for people to hold on to, so that they won't be swept away on te icy sidewalks?
Snowy like Buffalo, NY?
Texans are a bunch of spoiled brats!

You're out of time anyway - and I am still none the wiser.
Best I came up with all morning was "DIPPER" and I'm damn sure that isn't right!

You're not wrong, it's not right!
The answer is DERIDE
Roller-coaster ride = jumble of ride = DERI
on (+) wings of desire = DesirE = DE
giving us DERIDE which is synonymous with Slight
I didn't realise there was an official time-limit on these, by the way - maybe I should read the rules at some point!

Yeah - four hours. If you go to my profile page the rules are the only post there.
If there wasn't a limit, a really silly one could sit there for weeks
Better luck tomorrow!

That's the right cattitude.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Last night my wife was on her Win10 laptop and she said she didn't have internet access.
I looked at the laptop and noticed that in the bottom right corner of task bar it said, "Activate Now" or something.
Here's what happened when we upgraded her laptop to win10.
It has a smaller SSD so I had to wipe it and install. That meant I lost the original Win7 registration.
So her laptop has been running along un-activated on win10.
Is this something others are seeing? Are others seeing that their unactivated win10 laptops are no longer able to connect to network and / or have lost other capabilities?
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,

Disclaimer: I use 7, not 10, so you may want to wait for responses from 10 users
I remember Windows screwed up in an update for 10 and corrupted the TCP/IP stack or something but if this just happened I doubt that's the problem. I mean... I'm assuming Windows pulled that update but who knows?
Have you tried doing a reset?
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh int ip reset C:\iplog.txt
netsh winsock reset C:\winsocklog.txt
It's helped me in the past when randomly losing network connectivity due to TCP/IP stack corruption.

I had a similar issue in that my motherboard died, so I had to replace it. Then when I upgraded to 10, it refused to activate thinking that my Win 7 registration was on a different machine. I got onto Microsoft support, it took about an hour, but they did get it all sorted for me, so I am all legal again.
Cheers,
Mick
