Today [15]

[Arc]

I had cataract done on both eyes - years ago. That was not a big deal.

It matches with my experience. My mother had Phacoemulsification a few years ago and everything became normal extremely quickly.

I know I was there as well but then I made one weird joke and everybody looked at me like vermin.

You can't "look at someone like a vermin" on an online forum.

From Wikipedia:

An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages. They differ from chat rooms in that messages are often longer than one line of text, and are at least temporarily archived. Also, depending on the access level of a user or the forum set-up, a posted message might need to be approved by a moderator before it becomes visible.

Even if in the above quote mentioned "posted message" of yours at the Ten Forums included a photo of you, it would be impossible for you to tell how other members "looked at you", in this case the photo of you.

Conclusion: that's only in your head . Keep posting at Ten Forums.

Dude, it's not meant literally.

But after I had written the "joke", everybody in that thread got really upset and I do understand because it was a really dark one. I don't remember the like real joke, my answer could be looked upon as a follow up to the original joke and well it seems I deleted my response because of the reaction I got.

I could keep up on posting but nuhmuhduh...

Translations can be a interesting sometimes innocent comments get way out of hand for little more than a misunderstanding
Everyone has one of those too

Sometimes people get their panties in a bunch sometimes. Best just let it rest and move on. It only becomes a real issue when dredged up again. No use worrying over a moment. A Guy

Well that is the thing, the joke wasn't translated, original joke was made by I think Gabriel Iglesias(FLUFFY!) so I was really surprised about the reactions.

Well I wasn't the one with a problem, everybody else got how to say it oh yes I'll quote ya "get their panties in a bunch"..

RMA'ed a Crucial MX100 256gb ssd using for linux this morning
Although it has had win-7 32 bit/ win-10tp for months and finally linux killed it

Mini tool showed Bad disk/ diskpart produced I/O error pretty much the same in live cd
Shipping back 10.us might find out a week or two if I get a free replacement
I do know I won't be buying another Crucial and only vm's for me

 

[whs]

Crucial or other makes - you can get a bad one from all the makes. I just got a replacement for an OCZ SSD. Last year I also had to RMA a Mushkin. Fortunately most of them have a 5 year warranty.

 

[ThrashZone]

The MX100 is a 3 year but I'm well into that time
I have another actually 3 other MX series ssd's
Another 256gb I'm actually using now in my Acer and 128gb in my laptop another 128gb unused :/

Are you suggesting that there was someting specific about a linux install that killed the SSD. If so what do you think that may be - massive amounts of R/Ws or something?

 

[ThrashZone]

Most Crucial's bad firmware or linux's blacklisting take your pick ?

Saw a news story about Seagate that will release I think it was a 2tb ssd for laptops but might have been a hdd, I'm not sure.

 

[ThrashZone]

2tb I can already tell it's too rich for my blood line
Seagate not after this one

I don't believe even Samsung ssd's are compatible with linux ?
Looks like hdd's and VMWare :/

Today, I broke my LG G2. It's dead after falling from 6.5m. That was also my last "expensive phone".

 

[whs]

That's too bad. I am sure that was a nice phone. Next time drop it on a feather bed.

Which reminds me of all the stuff I have lying around which is not used - a few laptops, a Windows phone, an Android tablet and a couple of SSDs for which I have no use. All this is interesting when it is new, but over time it gathers dust. At least I never pay much for the bits. I am a bargain hunter like this:

 

[thelma]

Well, makes me feel a bit better not to be the only idiot some how. My one and only pc was kiĺled by a dog and a tennis ball situation , you can imagine the picture. The laptop only made a fall of about 1.50 meter but was smashed. Ever seen a broken screen? Sad, I have nothing laying around but luckily Good Friends how are sending me an idle laptop. It will be a supprise to find out what it is when the package arrives. Beggars can't be choosers , hope it will have Windows 7.

Well, if its just the screen thats broken thats mighty easy to fix. Relatively inexpensive too. Takes about 30/45 minutes depending on model. LAPTOP & TABLET LCD SCREEN FROM $34.99. Screen Replacement Theres even video tutorials by make/model if you're worried.

My salute to 21st February.

 

[RoasterMen]

Went on an inter-island trip today, there's something wrong with the date on my camera :\

San Juanico Bridge - Connects Samar and Leyte Provinces, starts from Santa Rita to Tacloban.
