Listening isn't so hard, but it's vastly underappreciated as a skill.
I guess psych major learn it - oh wait, it's a practical skill, that's only for 2-year degrees.  Dumb.

It's like the old Dilbert strip about Elbonia:  "Writing is easy.  Someday we hope to read."

That's odd. I believe 7 ultimate has a ridiculous upper limit on RAM, like around 200Gb or some such.

Perhaps a conflict with the existing RAM?

Windows and CPU-Z both register it as being there, just Windows not wanting to use it. I'll attempt to reinstall it just in case I am dumb.

Edit: Was very slightly off. Working like a charm now.

I can't locate the difference between this image and the first one. Where should I be looking?

[Yoink]

Not all of the installed memory was listed as "usable", before.   

[scriver]

Oh. Yeah, I see it now. Damn.

It was right where I looked too.

I know a guy who came back from an enforced hunger exercise in the military. For his first meal back at base, he went for a slice of bread with cheese on it.

Made it about halfway through the slice before his stomach balked at having food in it again and he had to run out of the mess to puke.


Alternatively, haleem is a traditional end-of-fast dish. I mean, sure, it takes 7-8 hours of cooking with intermittent stirring, but that just adds to your fasting high score!

Do you get 3 characters to sign your name with if you get a high score in fasting?

Yes, but you'd have to beat one of the ridiculously high scores by "RIP".

Sure is an ordeal getting ready for work when you have to do everything as quietly (and thus, slowly) as possible to avoid waking people up. Also, it's cold. And I could barely sleep, either due to cold or excess energy or a combination of both, and when I did sleep I had vaguely dramatic, un-restful dreams involving medieval scheming and ruthless skullduggery amongst the nobility or something along those lines.
I mean, not complaining about the dreams, y'know, but I feel like I barely slept.

Also it's bloody cold and the realisation that it's going to keep getting colder and I'm going to keep being expected to go to work is hitting me pretty hard... I need to get a real job, or start studying or something. There was something else I wanted to complain about, too... oh yeah! My Rimworld addiction always seems to kick back into high gear at the worst possible moments.
I had so many things I was supposed to do yesterday/last night - head to the supermarket and buy supplies for today's sandwiches, exercise, cook and eat a decent meal... I mean, I did make it to the supermarket and got some stuff including bread for sandwiches, but did said sandwiches end up getting made? No sir! All the other stuff on my progressively-shorter to-do list went by the wayside as well.
So now I have to make my lunch this morning, before work, as well as trying to get some exercise done and have time for breakfast, all without making too much noise since it's fuckingfukken early and I think one of my housemates have family visiting and that makes me somewhat more anxious than usual. Alright I think that about sums it up-- why am I even typing this when I should be getting my arse into gear? Good question, it is annoyingly cold and I am procrastinating. Sad days.   
Life feels like a job but I make negative money from it.

I got an appointment with my old therapist.

I'm not at all happy about it.

Some idiot locked a door that has a note glued to it saying to never lock it. Because of this, I'm missing a D&D session and can't even get to work tomorrow before the person with the key to that door arrives.

Caffeine is a stimulant that stimulates smooth muscle. (smooth muscle includes the kind in your GI tract that moves food and waste along.)

Chronic use of caffeine will cause the body to down-regulate these muscle's responses. Sudden cessation will then result in.. constipation... until the body re-adjusts.

Compare with opioid induced constipation. (normal bowel, with depressed smooth muscle stimulation from opioid pain relievers.)
Caffeine can also impact the ratios of bacteria in your intestinal flora, as it is also a metabolic stimulant. (not just for you, but for them as well.)

Caffeine in moderation is OK, and possibly even healthy. Excessive, chronic use is not.

I FORGOT THE BUTTER FOR MY LUNCH POTATO AND THE DRINK MACHINE WONT TAKE MY CARD.

Got some pretty bad windburn and I just realised I'm all out of ointment. Blergh. Guess I'll have another day at work with my face feeling like sandpaper.

I FORGOT THE BUTTER FOR MY LUNCH POTATO AND THE DRINK MACHINE WONT TAKE MY CARD.

Are you...trying to get a bottle of molten butter out of a drinks machine? I'm confused.

NO BOTH OF THESE THINGS HAPPENED SEPARATELY. I DON'T HAVE POTATO BUTTER AND I CAN'T GET A DRINK FROM THE DRINK MACHINE. WHY EVEN EAT.

[TamerVirus]

Insert the potato into the drink machine to receive butter
