News reports a few days ago said that at least one fire was intentional. Given 100+ days with no rain there was a burn ban in place with a hefty fine ($2500 in places) this one guy they've arrested is in deep trouble.

Usually, its very hard to get the appraisal of correct papers. I remember my unemployment forms getting checked back then like I was kidding them, somewhere must be something missing or wrong....

:lol: Not like that, but the fact that an experienced software developer registered for unemployment was some sort of an anomaly in the system.

I know it was unusual and I was not in a dire need... but it had strategic reasons. :lol: This way I was happily able to look for a job in the whole of Europe without having to worry that my little rest of savings gets burned in a month.

I hear ya.
But why the whole Europe? Isn't Germany the best place for software devs to be?

Not necessarily. Its great. But there is also Ireland, for example.
 
I was thinking about the Islands before, rather than Germany, due to poor german skills. But that was before Poles started having bad reputation on the Islands. And I met my wife who was anchored in Germany already.

It's a few weeks before Christmas, and two slightly grumpy alpacas are on guard duty at a farm in south-east England.
The animals are part of a herd of 10 that have a very important job - protecting 24,000 free-range turkeys from being attacked by foxes.
The introduction of the alpacas - called Blitzen, Comet, Cupid, Dasher, Dancer, Donner, Onion, Prancer, Sage and Vixen - was the brainchild of Tom Copas, the owner of family business Copas Turkeys.

Windows 10 killed my notebook last night.

Now it fails to boot, automatic and manual recovery options fail. The system SSD is now drive F: instead of C:, but seems to be intact according to chkdsk.

Did anybody here get the same issues?
 
I had some issues with win10 updates, but nothing this severe. Win7 tended to be worse in this regard.

Never heard of anything like this happening. I'd try to use the notebook with some sort of live-USB system to see if there's an obvious hardware fault, and then proceed to clean-install 10.

Haven't had this with Win10, but saw it several times over the years as a desktop tech with XP and 7. Sounds to me like it's possibly a corrupted Master Boot Record. In the XP days I'd boot with the installation CD, launch the system recovery tools and do a FIXBOOT or FIXMBR from the command line. Not sure what the equivalent would be for Win10.

By what i can tell, it should be about the same in Windows 10 command line. Found some procedures to try, I hope it works out.

You know, for all of Grand Moff Tarkin's faults, he DID reduce unemployment on Alderaan to zero...
 
Status ... crazy

Windows 10 system was killed by its update with many system libraries lost, neither sfc nor dism work ... now I managed to repair my old surface RT for downloading a windows 10 ISO from Microsoft maybe I can repair it that way.
 
I just realized how badass we all are :)
Flying around our solar system, landing on moons, handling our space ships, reentry on earth, landing on a specific spot - and not crashing.

My wife always says: "I can't understand why you like this game. Staring at a black screen, watching numbers - the most boring game ever."

... I stopped trying to explain it to her... :)
