Ouch! I didn't realize there was a big problem with going from 7 to 10. Did it not give you a choice to update or something?
No and when I went on line to find out how to stop it, it was some complicated directions that I didn't understand so I called HP and apparently they aren't too good at it either.

Me!

Well, I can make the dough and have (and make my own bread often). But I do buy the dough to make it easier for us and faster to make.

Huh. Now that think about it...I'm stuck home with a sick kid for a second day...maybe it's time to see if my yeast is still good and make some bread.
You could just make it, put it in freezer bags, and pop it in the freezer :)

damn bro, that's great news. She'll have a blast in Japan
My eldest daughter is ticked off because she thinks that her sister is just copying her and will think that they have similar experiences even though she didn't have a whole university system looking out after her. :) siblings

I've held out on the update despite having a pretty solid mid-range desktop (FX-8350, 8GB RAM, GTX970) and at this point I've only been able to stop it from updating by using a third-party program called GWX Control Panel.

I'm not holding out as a matter of principle or anything, but I"ve been really cautious since I don't want it to fuck up any of my turk utilities.

I have a very small aquaponics rig set up.... and I'm only marginally ashamed to admit over half the planting space is devoted to pizza ingredients. >.>

I guess now I need to find some grand kids.
I been looking into aquaponics for some time now, just haven't committed myself to the process yet, biggest worry is the time away from home. I don't trust my freaking kids to monitor it

My daughter has gotten her official notification of her acceptance into the study abroad program next year. She will be in Japan for a whole year . I'm so proud of her and her adventurous spirit
That is awesome! What a fabulous opportunity for her.

I saw that and didn't understand how to use it. And that's what I'm afraid of. messing up everything.

LOL. I could. My freezers (both of them) are chock full of all the other stuff I've cooked up and frozen. with it being just to of us, I cook for a family of four or six and freeze the extra in single serving portions. I'd probably lose the dough amid all the plastic storage containers :)

My experience has been that its a very needy baby for a long time... mine took more than 8 months to mature enough to stop being so fragile and reactive. Once your little ecosystem finds it's balance and things settle down you have a good deal more leeway and it becomes somewhat robust.... I should add that I also set up a Raspberry Pi as a microcontroller for the environment after it stabilized, which takes a LOT of the work off me (plus I can check various stats right on my phone from anywhere I am.)

Edit: That first time you decide you want fish for dinner tho... and you can simply walk in the other room, pluck a big ol' lovely meal fish and get started with the fileting in a matter of moments then garnish it with stuff grown in the same ecosystem.... totally worth.

Without X8+bonuses, I'd be out on the street begging for money.
