Now I see one second a panda butt and the next second a snoring panda and then the butt again… help.

Thank you for your explanation. Google gave me a lot of insight into a lot of things and none had to do with this problem. :D

so if a feature sucks, they can just remove it

Unfortunately if you liked that feature, it is gone now.

I like the GOG approach to EA:

“Rollback in GOG GALAXY — Keep playing your game if the newest update is not doing it for you, or revisit historical version snapshots.”

A shutdown and a fresh start also deletes files that aren’t used anymore and the PC does check itself for hardware problems. Starting a PC could take a long time in the past, but my current 7 year old system starts in about 10 seconds, a newer system could start faster. I also turn off all peripherals like monitors and printer etc. with one switch after the computer is off, to make sure there is not a single light still wasting electricity. Standby devices in a common houshold use so much electricity, that it amounts to a lot of money over a year. But I guess we are still in the phase of convinience over climate and people have money to waste too.

From your link:

but the option to choose a new time was greyed out

Which only ever happened for me if I had already pushed back an update multiple times. Which then means they had all the time in the world to make sure they do the update before they start such a critical, multiple days long process. These are people without forced update they would never make updates and they are the reason forced updates have to happen now.

German here. A woman was starting to play loud music on her phone while I was sitting at a bakery having a cup of coffee, trying to relax from a bad morning. I opened Spotify, checked for this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDBDtIOxUsI Every Maaaaaamaaaa I was singing loudly along. She lasted half of the song then fled the scene, even left her coffee on the table. My ears were bleeding, but it was worth it.

Fight them with the most terrible old people song you know in your country, be aware that it might hurt you too.

Do Pee!

That’s where the gun culture comes in. America has none, they just have guns and no protective, strict culture of do’s and don’ts around them. Not everything has to be restricted by law if a society decides that there are still rules. We have a social rule that when we sneeze or cough we put something in front of our mouth. It is not a law, but it is a healthy social rule that is helpful; everyone accepts that they are not free to sneeze in other people’s faces. You need either gun laws or gun culture, Switzerland chose more culture, Germany more law, both work. America chose … more guns and the “freedom” to shoot them in other people’s faces. That’s stupid and dangerous.

and I didn’t keep vaping afterwards.

That’s the important part and glad you found a way to quit that worked for you!

The thiefs new about your rich text format I guess.

These are ge many countries without an “r”, Sir!

If there are any rules

As far as I know the only rule is, that I (German) pronounce it always wrong.

Thank you for making this dark and cold day all pink and sunny for me! Also I hate you for giving me an earworm … actually, no it’s fine! happily sings along

It’s one of the few places in the world where wood is the dominant material used in new-home construction—90% of homes built in 2019 were wood-framed, according to the National Association of Home Builders.
