Yeah, lots of steps back with UI with this.

Amusingly it was offered to my $200 Dell refurb laptop that is several generations old, but my gaming desktop was flagged as ineligible for upgrade. :lol:

I just got a random pop-up from the system tray one day saying I wasn't eligible. Which was rich, because I didn't ask. :lol:

Out of curiosity I just downloaded the system checker to answer your question:
The processor isn't currently supported for Windows 11.
Processor: Intel Core i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz
It links to this support article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/win ... 74389a7ba3

All of the remaining performances of Hamilton at the Pantages Theater were cancelled. We had tix to see the final show of the run (hoping for special guests or something). Then a week after getting my refund, they were all rescheduled, just pushed back a month. New end date is 3/20, so Mrs Tif and i talked about it, and we splurged for some decent seats. Much money later, tickets secured.

72 hours later I got a notice that my work was doing a deal to offer discounted tickets to Employees for the end of the run.

I know the trash has to be picked up from the hotel sometime but if there are guest rooms in the vicinity maybe arrange pickup at like noon instead of 3 FREAKING 30 AM!!!!

Didn’t get back to sleep.

Heh, we have a snow day - well, e-learning day - and my neighbor decides to have his dead tree taken down this morning. So there's a wood chipper planted in front of our house grinding up a 40 ft scrub oak tree. My kids are not amused. :lol:

With Encanto, I like the songs more than the singers in some instances.

I don't know what's up with Facebook lately, or how their algorithms work, but in the last few months they have really leaned hard into recommending my friends' daughters as "someone you may know". I don't get the sons. I get the barely legal daughters....... actually, in a couple cases I don't even know if that's accurate. Wtf is Facebook doing 'recommending' a teenage girl to a nearly 50-year old dude?

Come on man. What is wrong with you? Certainly not to send them friend requests and be creepy.

FB does that do you can check out their public photos for good ones. Just be careful not to accidentally like or (God forbid) share.

Dude, I don't initiate contact with them or seek them as friends wtf. Facebook is suggesting them to me for some reason, and it kinda creeps me out.

One that was suggested today is like a friend's 14-year old niece, whose actual mom (the friend's sister) I don't think I've ever even met. Why would Facebook deem that matchup appropriate?

I did that a few years ago and am better for it. I'm in contact with people that I want to be in contact with.

they should just push that date back every year from December 1 to March 1. plenty of people give those things as gifts for the holidays.
This was spot on. They stopped pushing the date back by a week each time, and now it just say's the results will be ready soon.

So you know that you did it rather than brushing it with your cheek and nobody being able to hear you while you ramble on unaware of being muted.

I contend that even if they are shrugged off as ridiculous, my takes ignite the most interesting conversations on this board

iPhones are garbage. Can you install android on them?
