I always loved how every version of The Simpsons Game had its own cover art. Wonder how many versions of the game there really are. I played the PS2 version and from what I understand I think it cut out like a quarter of the levels from the PS3 version.

Ohhh I’d say this Gluttony fan-art is going very, very well… Best chicken I’ve ever drawn. Pretty damn cute. But you’ll see that later :smirk:

For about the past 3 weeks, at least once a week, there have been sonic booms happening. Local FB groups get multiple posts about a ā€œLoud Boomā€, and/or asking if something exploded, or they know what it was and are wondering wtf is going on. Apparently, according to someone that works with a major airport in the region, they’re saying that Boeing and the military are testing a ā€œnew(ish)ā€ F-15EX Strike Eagle.

So… That’s what all that was. The first time I heard it I thought maybe a large limb broke off a tree and fell on my house or one of my neighbors had poured too much gasoline on a pile of limbs or trash and tossed a match on it. :joy: Seriously. It’ll shake my house, rattle the windows… You can go outside and hear dogs barking, or car alarms going off in the distance. :angry: Needless to say it’s a bit annoying.

Forgot to mention I got my first Pfizer shot yesterday. Feeling good but it hurts around the injection site a bit.

You’re lucky it’s ā€œa bitā€ tbh.

Indeed I am, I have been dreading getting symptoms. But Pfizer patients are more likely to be symptomatic on their second dose over the first.

Windows 11 installed!

The top bar on the file explorer has been detail-minimized, but the slick look sounds better to me.

New look to icons, and of course I can’t stand the taskbar in the center. Aligning it to left was the first thing I did.

Start menu hasn’t hasn’t changed that much

A more compact menu for usually manipulated items (brightness, wifi, sound etc)

And it’s 11GBs bigger.
These were the first impressions, will update if anything significant occurred.

Is it free how it’s rumored, or you paid something for it?

Totally free.
You’ll have to join the Windows Insider Program until next week that the official release happens.

Things have slowly been going downhill at my job. In the past two years, people have been gradually leaving with the main reasons being they found better paying jobs, something closer to home or are just fed up and walk out. Just recently a few months ago, one on my longtime co-workers suffered a stroke and is in recovery. The condominium has shifted work schedules around to compensate but that just puts a band-aid over the problem. They seriously need to hire more people but they say that it’s not in the budget right now.

There’s no longer enough maintenance staff to keep up with the daily demands of the buildings and it’s starting to put a strain on everyone. Got one co-worker who’s planning to retire next year, the Head Engineer wants to to do the same in 4 years, and another one who’s already applied to work elsewhere and is waiting to get the greenlight before he leaves.

He also says his new job may possibly have a opening for me. I’ve been here about 12 or 13 years and I’m fairly comfortable in my position so I don’t want to leave. Plus I think this place will start to collapse on itself if I did and I don’t wish for that but never the less, I can’t ignore which way the wind is blowing. It’s ok to hope for the best but you also need to prepare for the worse.

Will I need to reinstall all my files and programs, or is it just treated as a big Windows 10 update and everything will carry over? I dread having to reinstall all of my music stuff.

@Nazareth Know how you feel to some extent. Honestly, at least in the UK but I believe in lots of other countries too, it seems like everyone is moving on in life to different jobs, refusing to take for granted bad working conditions and bad pay. In my job, we’re constantly understaffed, our company is basically refusing to do anything to be competitive. We only offer minimum wage (Ā£8.91), whereas the likes of the nearby Amazon warehouse and other fast food places are willing to pay Ā£10 an hour.

I guess the question is, do you want to be at that job for the rest of your career, or is there some other job or career you aspire to move too? I know what you mean by feeling guilty, I know that when I quit my job eventually, which I hope to do sometime next year, I’ll probably be making things a bit harder for my co-workers, most of whom I get on very well with. But I think you have to be able to move on, and you can’t let guilt hold your back. It’s the company’s responsibility to be well staffed and functional, not yours.

I never had a ā€œDream Jobā€ that I always wanted. Any job to me is just a means to pay bills. If I was rich, I’d glady retire and just focus on investing in the stock market. Well…that part I’m already doing but you get what I mean. So I don’t really want to move but because I’m comfortable and reluctant to start anew. But as time passes, it looks more a more like the wise move to make.

Any of you shave off too much of a mustache, and so you had to shave the whole thing off?
That happened to me tonight. I just wanted to trim a little bit, but then it got lopsided, looked weird, so I had to cut the whole thing off.

…then I got left with just a goatee and that looked really weird (never used that look before) so I shaved that off too! Now I’ve got nothing!

And I’ve got headshots booked for Monday. I wanted that mustache in the picture…
Aughhhh hair regret :sob: :sob:

I quickly made you a headshot with a mustache. No regret then.
