Ran WinDirStat on my system and found out that literally half of my solid state is taken up by redundant Nvidia files.

It's a little annoying. Do they just not delete old drivers when you install new ones?

The EU stopped import of most Brasiian meat, after the Brasilian food authority raided a few lot of meat producers, and found they had been selling meat past expiration date, and hiding the smell of rot by adding carcinogenic chemicals.
30 Brasilian food inspectors have been suspended, suspected of taking bribes.

So if you ate meat imported from Brasil last year, best go get yourself checked up for cancer. Iirc, McDonalds gets most of it's meat from Brasil (in fact, McDonalds has been one of the main culprits for destruction of rainforests, to make room for hamburger cows.

Meh, I don't eat non-Swedish meat anyway for exactly this reason. Call me a swegetarian.

[ChairmanPoo]

The risk of cancer is probably more long-term so it's dubious that would help :/

Send your teratoma my regards.

Random seemingly-causeless headaches upon waking up in the morning.

Also it took almost 15 minutes for a computer to boot up.

I've kind of had to ditch my social life lately (due to being forced to move back in with family, hopefully temporarily) and all of a sudden I'm getting a bunch of messages from old friends I haven't communicated with in ages. People pretty much wholly unconnected to the social circles I have recently abandoned. Weird.

Probably dehydration, have a drink of water before bed, or keep one handy to chug as soon as you wake up. Works wonders for hangovers too

Could be, I suppose.

Just take care not to give the computer a drink as well.... That could end badly.

Right...

A disintegrating imagined landscape? That's interesting. My imagination tends to conjure static images, usually revolving around a meaningful theme or symbol. (Man with sword against darkness, old person and child both smiling.) Wonder which of our approaches is more strange.

Oh not just landscapes, it's whatever I'm trying to focus on. It's also fairly inconsistent. Just now I was repeatedly trying to imagine a single image of a woman (it's actually a specific image I've seen several times recently). One time I got the whole image, but only for a second. Another time I could only picture the outline of their face, and another time only the eyes were clear to me. Sometimes focusing on something makes it harder to hold steady; whereas images that I don't really think about are more stable, and are even capable of motion, but disintegrate as I focus on them. It can be somewhat unpleasant. Once I was trying to generate faces of girls (not that I could easily generate male faces, but I only attempted to generate female ones for some particular reason) and it went over so poorly I couldn't even remember what female faces looked like at all. Couldn't even remember my mother's face, and she was just in the next room. When I remember things about an image (like a map, say), it's usually logical conclusions, like "Location X is to the right of Y" instead of actually being able to remember what the map looked like.

And yet I have no such problem with sound. Can clearly replicate any sound I can remember (can't remember every sound, but everything I can remember I remember perfectly), modulate it however I wish, and play it back as many times as I want. I can listen to songs in my head that seem just as good as listening to the real deal. It's a little difficult to do something like imagining my mother singing the Anthem of Springfield (from the Simpson's movie, which is to the tune of La Marseillaise), but it's doable, whereas I couldn't hope to imagine something like that visually.

This is on topic because it's pretty WTF on its own. No idea why it's like that at all. No idea if other people have it completely different.

Wow, that's pretty much the opposite of me. I can do sound alright, but static images are very easy for me to visualise. I couldn't tell you where x is in relation to y, but I can picture my mother's face very clearly despite not seeing her for a week. Same with nearly anything. If I can remember it, I can imagine it.

I suppose if someone were to ask me to describe each individual component separately it would fall apart, but as a whole there it is.

Yeah, that was a weird one.

To be fair after a quick google of who that is,  I now want to be trick or treating age again so I can use that costume.  And I don't even know 40k.
