Umm, Lilly makes a good point.

Is it fair to ask where this ‘Lilly’ person lives/shops?

I like cooked chicken cheaper than raw chicken too…

It doesn’t bother me a bit, but it also largely depends on wallet design and pants design. Over the years I’ve figured out an ideal balance for all my pockets…

For reference, I’m now 43 years old.

Around 20 years ago, around age 23, I decided to keep my wallet in my right front pocket, 24/7, save for bathing and clothes changing. Yes I do sleep with my wallet in pocket, it never leaves my vicinity.

I keep my wallet where it can’t easily be stolen, right next to the family jewels ya know…

Interesting, I’ve never heard it called that before, thanks for sharing at least 👍

I can’t stand cantaloupe. It’s simply too rich and sweet for me, even the smell alone makes me gag.

I hear ya, you’re basically right.

My thought process is more like people with a food stamp card will still have the card, but it’ll be useless without being reloaded with benefits funds.

Note that for once the orange shitstain actually did something to help in the meantime, not long after I made that meme, Turnip announced he’s approving the use of emergency funds around $5 billion for SNAP recipients, which is around half of what typically goes out to people, but hey it’s something at least, for now…

He probably only did that because even in his demented cranium, he’s gotta understand that his ratings will plummet through the floor if he doesn’t do something quick so even the poor and low income families can have a decent meal for Thanksgiving.

I dunno, I haven’t had food stamps in over 5 years. It’s hardly worth the waste of my time to only qualify for a lousy $27 a month, it costs more than that in gas to get back and forth to their office to comply with their work program requirements.

Edit: Update, I guess the orange turnip changed his mind… 🤷

It’s pure sarcasm, I might as well have titled it…

“Happy ThanksTaking!”

True, and I’ve seen food banks giving out entire frozen turkeys before, and yeah that’s a good thing.

The point of the meme is, here in the USA, they shut down the government, so the government isn’t here to feed the people on the country’s food day…

Oh phuck, so many ways to go with that one, where to start?..

“Have you subscribed to Black Friday yet?”

Coming from Windows 2003, Vista Ultimate and 7 Ultimate era, Restore Previous Versions was enabled by default, and was a side service of System Restore…

Me while doing error handling?

Well shit, all my functions both take and return memory addresses. When one of those blocks of data happen to fail the data sanity check, the function returns either -1, -2, -3, -4.

See, you’ll never get such numbers as proper memory addresses, they’re assigned as blocks, larger than 4 bytes…

So, if one of my functions returns a -1 through -4, that tells me which argument to the function failed the sanity check…

Windows has some other features hiding behind the scenes and bogging the system down when files get changed, like Restore Previous Versions…

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/backup-and-restore-with-file-history-7bf065bf-f1ea-0a78-c1cf-7dcf51cc8bfc

I do believe that feature is closely tied with System Restore as well…

I didn’t say the Recycle Bin does any data compression, I said System Restore does data compression, and this is indeed a known fact.

I don’t know that song off the top of my head, sorry. One of the tracks from Animals?

I dunno, but I have 12 Pink Floyd albums archived, Seamus is probably in there, I’m just not home to check.

My absolute favorite Pink Floyd album is The Division Bell, which I found in the ditch on a bicycle ride in pristine condition, and now archived…

Pink Floyd - Animals

I love almost everything by Pink Floyd, but their entire album Animals is a dud for me. Regardless, I’m pretty sure I have an MP3 copy of the album backed up anyways.

I take it you don’t filesystem much do you?

Moving a file is literally just changing a pointer in the filesystem table to basically say ‘hey, these file contents are now stored in this other folder’. Moving a file on the same drive literally never requires rewriting the actual file contents.

I’m practically certain that what’s slowing Windows down when sending something to the Recycle Bin is the background processing and data compression being performed by System Restore.

Have you ever actually used Process Explorer before? I mean digging behind the scenes and find out what process threads are eating the CPU and keeping storage access open…

Process Explorer does way more than the default GUI throws at you…

Antivirus, Windows Defender, Bitlocker…

Shall I continue?

Try OpenFilesViewer and Process Explorer, amongst a myriad of other SysInternals utilities…

Can confirm, this was happening to me over 8 years ago. I just ended up disabling the Google Calendar app. I still know how to use pen and paper…
