No, Amazon.
They both have an 'i' and a 'k'...

Am I odd for having zero interest in doing Zoom calls with friends and family? I've only done it the once and hated the experience of it. Think it might be the needless video bit, I know what they all look like. Maybe I'm just antisocial :-k
I don't like it but for a fairly shit reason. I spend all day on Teams calls and Zoom calls and my relatives seem to get some novelty kick out of it, and that annoys me. I get that you're retired or have jobs that don't require them but the calls aren't funny just through virtue of happening, so stop laughing like gurning morons.

To install the Oculus app on a different system drive:

Press the Windows key> + R to open the Run command
Enter the following path: [drive]:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\OculusSetup.exe /drive=[new system drive]
- Replace [drive] with the letter of the drive where Oculus was downloaded to
- Replace [new system drive] with the letter of the new drive you'd like to install Oculus to

E.g. C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\OculusSetup.exe /drive=D or C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\OculusSetup.exe /drive:D
Click OK.
The Oculus app will then open and attempt to install the app on the new drive you've chosen.

Good grief. :lol:

I know there have been predictions of a baby boom due to so many people being stuck indoors together, but that might be a tad too literal.

An 80lb bomb, made using explosive sold over the counter for firearms target practice, for a gender reveal party may be the most American thing I've heard all week.

It cracked the foundations of someone's house for fucks sake! Fuck wits should not be allowed to have children or access to explosives for that matter.

Divorcing an individual on the psychopathy spectrum / kids involved.

Gentlemen, I cannot even.

Good luck mate. No winners there (in the short term anyway).

Cheers!

It has been a painful few months, but thus far I have acted in a manner beyond reproach. TL;DR - my solicitor is very experienced in these cases (with such individuals as my soon to be ex). I have an extremely strong case, though I'd honestly rather just be amicable and sort things that way. Alas, no chance with her. She wants to destroy me :/ had the audacity to finally walk away y'see.

Meh. These things happen!

Takes a toll though doesn't it. Sounds like you did the right thing but making sure you look after yourself is just as important.

Not much to say really is there except you'll look back at this time in 2022 and marvel at yourself, and undoubtedly be happier for it.

In an ideal world I want full custody of the kids, on account of her being devoid of empathy (as in - she really doesn't have any) but this ain't an ideal world. So long as we can 50/50 it, fine.

It's all good. Turns out 'the one that got away' felt the same about me, and she's just been through a divorce and blah. Slow burn but lots to be excited about.

Sounds promising mate. Very valid Room 101 entry though.

So mine was going to be the lack of 'undo sheet delete' feature in Excel. But yeah. I'll manage.

I think anything Excel related qualifies just fine.

Swollen gums.
Pain in the mouth in general.
Wisdom teeth.

And that's the story of why I'm not allowed near pregnant women for the next few weeks.
