For the purpose of creating graphs of plan-against-done we should report on what we spent our day... Normally I do not do this (the reporting), but for the two days it takes me to restore my productivity I report 'no computer'...Just for fun...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

And yes. At home I do full image backup - weekly...

Wish I would have. Just lost my hard drive and the last backup was a while ago. Have some files from a couple of days ago, but not all.

I think that is what you meant, right?.

But the BSOD is gone, right?

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Probably did you a favor. Quite often I have to reinstall the OS, and intend to do it, but procrastinate. Unfortunately last time this happened, think it was because of a failing disk. Unfortunately the disk did not tell me it was failing, it was just acting funny. Can't complain though. The disk was a 1TB from 2009, and on my desktop had 5 hard drives, including an 8TB and an SSD. Only reason I was still using the 1TB as my system hard drive was that it was easier than forcing the system to boot off the ssd that I already had set up as a System drive. Just had to update and add some apps to the SSD

What's the problem?
You get to spend an entire day on CP while waiting for all kinds of stuff to install.
It's not your fault you can't be productive so you still get paid.
Put slightly different, you get paid to wait and be on CP

You know nothing, Sander Rossel!
I do not care for the payment - I'm just like my job done, and hate when stupid things stand in my way...

I've had mine for donkeys years, and I'm still not dead, which proves it!

I go for the best of both worlds by being clean shaven (so none of the beard-dwelling bacteria) and not shaving often enough (hence much less of the dreaded "micro-trauma" referred to in the article).
This way, I expect I can happily live for centuries without ever being accused of being either a hipster or of being overly groomed. It's a win-win situation.

Now I got it...I have beard half of my life (22 years) and I'm super healthy... except when not...

You started growing a beard at the age of eleven?  
Wow!!!
|
|
|
|
|
No. At 21...(I'm a bit older, but the beard hides it)

Ah, ok then. I was kind of joking, but wasn't totally sure 
|
|

Yeah - I think I've shaved about three times since I became an adult, and one of them was for charity! 
I started growing one basically because I was too lazy to get up early enough to be sufficiently awake to shave, and just never looked back (even though I wake with the sun these days).

That's the word!!!
I shaved only once - for a wedding of a friend remembered me before the beard...
As today I cut it short once in two months (and it is only because of the wife)...

I try to remember to do mine once every two weeks. I originally used barber's scissors but found I get the same result with rechargable clippers and couple of length guides in half the time.

When I shave, I do so in the evening. My wife seems to appreciate it. :wink wink nudge nudge:

I wanted to have a nice looking beard, but I can't grow a beard, unfortunately.
