Yuuuup. If anything is going to make me bite the bullet and learn Linux, it’s this shit.

FYI every time windows updates, it will reinstall itself and must be uninstalled again.

Do you know if this prevents it from being reinstalled with every update?

Thank you for clarifying !

I did not know this!

I don’t know for sure but I think this is part of why it was originally hypothesized they were wading animals? Because just too damn big. But elephants are fine if they lay down and can get up again - it’s just the inability to move that becomes dangerous over time.

There is! As far as I’m aware, the issue is tissue death from lack of buoyancy, because out of water they’re too heavy to not crush their own bodies. So I believe they’re looking for cellular waste and impacts on organ function (this also is true for elephants, btw, when they get stuck laying down)

Yeah this is what I don’t get - the WA site shows the credits still, too.

The color gradient looks like the “gold” option in old school WordArt.

Cubed spam on the stove until crispy + fried egg + microwave rice with garlic powder + ketchup is one of my favorite cheap and easy meals. Runny egg yolks are great if you’re comfortable eating that.

Creamed spinach (frozen or canned) simmered into canned beans + chopped ham makes some pretty good goulashy stew, dose liberally with onion and garlic powder. Dairy free works great with spinach & non diary alfredo sauce.

This! It’s also useful for planning trips to multiple stores so you can determine ahead of time who carries what.

Spent a bunch of time watching rescued baby bobcats play. Here’s a well deserved post-play nap.
