I dunno, Vance seems more like the sorta guy that would take the raw chicken into the restroom and pull the couch maneuver…
I usually just pay fair price for the person I wanna bang. $1.25, plus tax of course…
I have my own variation of this general concept…
“I have the right to wipe my ass with a pinecone, but that doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do.”
As true as that may be, what’s the deal with all the times I’ve read stories of people setting up and configuring everything the way they want, and then after installing whatever particular updates manually, then MS reverts a bunch of settings back the way they want?
I dunno, but when I got my HP laptop that shipped with Windows 10, I got to an initial setup screen that asked me something like what’s my mother’s middle name or maiden name or something like that, for sake of password recovery I believe.
Even though I’m sure I could have entered in any random nonsense that I’d remember, I was like what effing business is it of the OS to ask such private details?
I didn’t even finish the setup and first boot, I shut it down right then and formatted and installer Linux Mint MATE 20, and I couldn’t be happier.
Isn’t it just wonderful how M$ can just screw you without your consent? To hell with Windows!
Welcome fellow penguin 🐧
We rode out Katrina near the Mississippi Gulf Coast back in 2005, in a run down trailer made in 1979. We didn’t board up the windows, matter of fact we did exactly the opposite.
We opened all the windows and doors, to allow the air pressure changes easier to try to equalize. We sat in the living room, no power, just a battery powered radio, watching the walls ‘breathe’, if you will…
Scary shit yo, but our beater trailer survived. About 45 minutes after the strong winds started to settle down, suddenly the water level raised about a foot and a half, only a couple inches from coming in our front door. Luckily we were on high enough ground that we didn’t get water in the trailer. Luckily.
We were two weeks without power, but at least my dad was smart enough to be prepared with a 400 gallon tank of chlorinated ground water. People though he was crazy for having that much treated water prepared, until Katrina hit, then he was sharing the water with all the neighbors.
TL;DR - Stay safe out there, and prepare early.
Thank you for sharing an update on this storm. There are a couple of tropical weather communities in the fediverse, but they don’t seem to get much attention…

This was a significant era of computing history, and in the modern digital era, I think everyone should at least get a sense of the early days of digital technology.
I do not have an answer for you, but if I may ask…
Why?
I wasn’t suggesting that I’d expect newer DirectX to work on older versions of Windows. I was suggesting that I would have expected newer DirectX standards to still be backwards compatible with older DirectX standards.
Sigh, I guess Satya Nadella decided to scrap backwards compatibility. Oh well, I switched to Linux after Windows 8 came out anyways. 🤷♂️
Guess not, but as far as I ever knew, M$ has been known to try to maintain backwards compatibility for longer than most users would even consider necessary.
XP supported DirectX 7/8/9
I would have figured that would have continued on with future versions of Windows, but I guess Satya Nadella decided to scrap backwards compatibility.
Oh well, all the more reason I switched to Linux as my main daily runner after Windows 8 came out. 🤷♂️
Why would someone expect DirectX12 to not also support 11/10/9/8/7?
Make sure they’re not your own tampons, don’t want them tracking your DNA pregnancy status…

Interesting combo, 100% recommend for other puzzle enthusiasts!
It’s 2024, we’ve upgraded to the Plumbus X…
I think I’d go insane trying to properly solve the black and white version…
