Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Thomas Shey]

A little bit of that, and a lot of bits of compulsive overworkers we sometimes had to chase out of the office so they would sleep. Particularly important if you are a big believer - as I am - in the diminishing returns of time expended for knowledge workers ( IME, it eventually goes negative )...

Not like there haven't been studies proving that, but apparently nobody believes them.

Mine died Saturday night. It just collapsed and became unable to boot again without a new disk.

Why did I have a new disk at hand? Because I was preparing to upgrade to a new OS. In fact, it died in the middle of creating the boot usb.

I updated both laptops yesterday, and so far mine seems okay, but if its a timebomb problem, it might well.

I habitually donate half of the leave (vacation days) I earn every year, because I never take it otherwise. (My wife can no longer travel so we never go anywhere; I usually take one week off a year when my granddaughter comes to visit, and that's about it, other than taking a day of leave on a "military down day" when the military folks are off on a wraparound holiday so there'd hardly be anyone in the building anyway.) I think it's kind of stupid that I'm not allowed to donate more than half - it's my leave, so why can't I give it to someone in need if I'm not planning on using it myself? But those are the rules.

Again, here is the solution to the thing. It is tried and true.

THIS IS AN INTRACTABLE PROBLEM. NO ONE COULD POSSIBLY SOLVE THIS THING.

Right here, I assure you, if you just take a look ...

THE GREATEST MINDS OF OUR GENERATION HAVE TRIED AND FAILED, DASHED UPON THE ROCKS OF THIS IMPOSSIBLE ISSUE.
