The forced obsolescence scheme microsoft is running now is fucking disgusting, they don't just want people to rush to the next operating system way before its time but they want them to junk their perfectly good machines and buy entirely new PCs just to upgrade to it.
how lethal is a diabetic coma, how prompt a response is required
think I just failed to save the life of an old alcoholic killer because his junkie bint wouldn't call the ambulance after I told her to do so repeatedly, reason being she was scared of him getting angry at needlessly getting the police coming in and he was "probably just sleeping deeply".
didn't have my own phone at the time so couldn't just call the medics myself.
fell in my room and busted both knees, one of my wrists, and my head. not a fun start for the weekend. put ice packs on them, but after 1 hour of not moving my legs they new feel like they are on fire. nothing seems to be broken and there's no swelling, I can move them fine, they just hurt a lot. ironically, hitting my head felt the worst, I seriously thought I split it open, but there's no pain whatsoever there now. I always had a hard head...
Don't think a disease has ever left my lungs as fucked up as the bout I just sufferred, I'm still having regular bursts of involuntary coughing even now. Is there anything you can do in such circumstances?
Part of it might also because I've been exposed to a bunch of second-hand smoke from people I've been around recently, that's certainly not been a thing for me since childhood.
>>426126 Prices have gone up for my drink as well around here (everything getting a bit more expensive), but I buy multipacks. A 24 case of cans is still cheaper than the same amount of beer
I drank a cold carbonated drink in the morning just now and it was the most painful thing ever, not sure how to describe it. Was like something got trapped just below my upper torso and it took awhile for things to work their way out. (I've also been sick at the moment with some sort of bad winter thing the past few days, presumably a factor)
>>436860 Can't help but feel that Captain Planet would be the guy who'd side with the nazis on account that they tried to keep everything clean and orderly.
>>436861 Have you never actually watched the show? He met Hitler in one episode, and Hitler was able to cripple him with just his stare since along with pollution "the power of hate" is one of his weaknesses and Hitler is just so full of it was overwhelming him.
Would it be that controversial if museums and airlines introduced free, mandatory gags to put over your babies mouth when they start crying? Or even a bloody plastic bag?
>>419399 The problem isn't the deinterlacing but that the low-res polygon graphics look really really blurry when stretched out to a HD panel. A good scaler helps, but those have their own downsides: Framemeister is extremely expensive and EOL, and has huge problems when a game switches resolutions mid-game, while the OSSC is good for 240p and switches resolutions fast but it is absolutely trash for interlaced games (it makes them look WORSE).
the Crt scanlines and shadow mask / aperture grille layouts do end up making the graphics much sharper, since each pixel is more defined, as opposed to a blurry soup on a hd panel.
>>400923 Isn't the idea of two straight guys getting married to each other something done for the purposes of benefit fraud instead?
How plausible is that even, like its not as if the government comes in and forces you to consummate the marriage in front of them to prove you're gay. If you weren't planning on getting married to anyone in the first place then...
Would offering voluntary euthanasia be a drain or a saving on a nation? As in quick and painless method for anyone who wants it performed by the state.
Presumably anyone who wants it isn't contributing much to the country as it is, depending on the welfare of the state they are possibly draining from it throughout their life. Or would the loss in population have a negative effect instead (plus whatever costs are involved in the process itself).

POST YOUR DREAMS!
My last one was something that could make a decent fanfiction. It was a mashup of Prometheus, Avengers, and Pacific Rim. Basically, it is the future, and anti-gravity vehicles are the norm. The dream starts somewhere far away, where an Architect was revived from deep sleep. He vows to destroy mankind, his creation, because we are not perfect. He says all that telepathically, due to his vocal chords being cut. He calls his fellow architects, and they get together a fleet of spaceships to fly to Earth and destroy it. I am one of the few humans who learn of this first (forgot how), and I learn hat while at a picnic with a larger group of people, in a forest. After seeing the ships approach and leveling the forest, I grab the nearest speeder bike (junk, but operational and defies gravity!) and ride to my home. After I get there, I tell everyone the news (they are my friends in the dream, despite being complete strangers now that I look back). So, from the windows of the apartment, we see the Architect ships (different than the ones from Prometheus) slowly destroy the city. The human race then decides to quickly go through with a defense program. To fight monsters, we will create monsters. Very quickly. But instead of giants robots, we use magical bullshit science to make superheroes out of people. Those superheroes would make a defense team strong enough to defeat all the asshole creator aliens. The plan is successful, and my dream ends with the first batch of superheroes testing their new powers before going to fight the Architects. I also remember there being one lizard girl testing her freeze powers and looking happy after seeing they worked.
Anything you seen in your sleep worthy of talking about?
odd dream last night. basically me, a couple of other young kids, and a girl were watching TV during the night. possibly a school trip because it felt like we were in a bigger group but not all were there. we were all cramped on.. I don't remember what exactly, but it was large enough that I could lie on there completely. possibly two beds pushed together to form a large sofa. the girl was to my left and on the leftmost edge, so I kept trying to move around so she has enough space (so she doesn't fall off). the girl is known for having a reputation as a slut, probably already had the other guys before. also she is someone who went to the same class as me in real life (yvette, I think), though I don't even remember her face today and we were never any close. everyone was dressed very lightly. like, panties and a light shirt on the girl, guys are mostly in just boxers and some with a t-shirt. it was most likely some school trip or a sleepover during late spring or early summer, given that this is at night and we are still not cold, and we are all pretty young. after that we are in the kitchen. nobody was seen drinking but everyone was in a light, fun mood. it even goes as far as the girl pulling her unbuttoned shirt aside so i can glimpse her bare breasts. other guys notice and woo her at doing so, some even cop a feel. she just laughs at this at first. I don't remember how but it goes too far and she gets mad at one of the guys, even holding a plastic toy knife (I had one like that) to their face while they are on the ground, clearly threatening them. after that, I bring her out of the kitchen in an attempt to calm things down. she is not mad, probably just had to put some guys in place, because she's back smiling immediately. the other guys are clearly in a good mood even after this. feels like it was all just playing around. we are back in the previous TV room. her shirt is still open, loosely hiding half of each side of her breasts.

I like Japanese cartoons and tea. Also I'm in the market for some first flush Darjeeling. If anyone has a legit connection please let me know. First flush is kind of hard to come by where I live so any info would be much appreciated. *sip*
