Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD (Part 6)

[CMD-Ky]

I installed ssd's in my dual boot beast yesterday . Unbelievable the difference it makes . Manjaro KDE boots completely ready to go from pressing enter in 5-7 seconds . Loading an app is instantaneous , it runs at the speed of memory . Winbloze 10 boots completely ready to go in 20 seconds . Loading an app takes 1-2 seconds . No spinning blue circle anymore . Apparently I ordered the correct parts , wonders never cease .

There is an SSD in the Win 10 Surface Pro that was retired due to inadequate cooling and a Win 10 update that caused it to run around 25% CPU with only MS services and processes running. I never could find a fix in any forums; some experienced it, some did not.
That SSD was lightening. I never measured load times; I was just amazed at it speed. I'd like to get one for this refurbished Dell that I run Linux/Win 7 on. Once you use and SSD it is angonizing to wait and wait on 5400 rpm drive. I am spoiled with a real first world problem.

Slant - Opera vs Vivaldi detailed comparison as of 2018

For those who are wondering how the two browsers compare...
So far I like Vivaldi. I don't like the part of going to the Chrome store to get extensions though. That is the main negative right now for me.

Got some work done on the Honda, it’s running like a dream. I really need to remember to drive it every couple of days. It was dusty, battery had drained, tires were low. Anyway, she’s up and I do miss that little car. 2004, 195k.

@Desert Dweller can you check in? Hope you’re feeling ok and all healed up.

They all sound yummy! You can’t go wrong.

It’s a nutcase night for me, well after my hike it will be.

I actually have fun plans for a Friday.. wow! Hiking with my friends then dinner and back to their house for desserts.

Heya army,
First week of work after surgery went ok-just limited to 25 pounds max lifting.
Next couple of weeks involves a few doctor visits for followup checkups

 

[PapawBrett]

OK, Apple Rum Butter Cake it is.
Now, Ready Player One or Annihilation for the evening's entertainment ?

Thank you! Hope everything continues to go smoothly.

Don't think I could stay up that long. I usually am thinking 'bedtime' about now, but it is Friday Night !

Is there a reason why you can't replace Winbloze 10 with 7 on the Surface Pro ?

I would have voted for GBC in honor of Chak. He liked that one. Think I’ll order a small bottle of that next time.

Wow! Impressive that you are back to work already. I’m so glad you are healing so well.

Two small incisions were made-one for scope the other for the graft to be attached,used to be they had to really "open" you up for this kind of thing.

I read Ready Player One - twice. If you choose that one, let us know what you thought of it.

I found the idea of humans living inside a virtual reality chilling. They were weak, pale, etc. and it brought out their worst impulses. It could happen. It almost has with our device attachments.

Gooey Butter Cake is yummy. Chak liked GPT too. I tried that based on his love for it. And CAT on Bronze’s love for that. All good.
