What's that black stuff on the left?

 

[SlinkyMike]

Good grief the size of that chemtrail you guys! I'm sure vaccinated folks under that flight path are all wigging the fuck out.

 

[Nicholas]

For the fantastic 5G service we get, it's worth it.

At the bottom of the pic? The top of our swing chair.

Out the back door, yes. Everyone has these wooden fences it seems. Madness, as they won't last in the wet climate imho.

Don't worry, you'll soon find out the fence and deck requires staining often or it starts turning grey and old.

It's likely pressure treated wood, it is good for around 15 years before it needs treating again.

Have any of you had some of your Windows 10 taskbar icons go AWOL? My Start button isn't working either.

Restart?

 

[Nicholas]

Tried that already. It may have something to do with my computer abruptly switching off after we went to stage 4 loadshedding. I did not see the change in time.

There is a Windows repair option somewhere. Can't recall where or if it works.

sfc /scannow? I tried that.

Used to be able to press F8 for safe boot, etc in earlier versions of Windows.

Have you asked it nicely to come back?

Sounds like it's joined a union...

Luckily not termites in England yet.

I snoozed until 10am (due to loadshedding), had breakfast at 07h30 and now I am exhausted.

I can speak only English, whereas Windows PowerShell or programming code, so my pleas are wasted on it.

Probably passive aggressive behaviour because I'm not upgrading it.

It's hexed.

You woke up and had brekkie at 07H30, then went back to bed until 10H00.

I felt woozy yesterday. Probably lack of sleep.

 

[Nicholas]

I think I'm going to have to do a Windows reset
