    Why does it need to be a "complaint" thread?

    I mean...with all the people crying in the corner, shouldn't we rethink the complaint thread?  Seems a bit "Debbie Downer" to me.  Apologies to people named Debbie and people named Downer.

    I propose we rename it "The Swirl", because that's what it is.  A swirl of thoughts, humor, experiences, cooking tips, music selections, computer building advice, and all the other stuff that makes up LIFE.

    Life is a gift, and I ain't complainin' 'bout that!

    It has historically always been the "complaint Thread"  and has run for almost as long as Daz has had forums.   It was actually posted originally as the antithesis of a complaint, taking the micky out of all the bad tempered, whingy, complaining, threads that were around in the forums.

    Imbibing alcohol before or after surgery probably not high on the doctor's recommendations list.

    Personally, I am partial to apricot or peach brandy.  Not fussy about brand, but more $$$ is probably smoother but I wouldn't know, I just spend $$.indecision

    Recently I discovered Amaretto, an almond flavored liqueur from a base of whisky.  Smoooth. yes  One shot is all I ever do.  Then it's nap time.

    Hmmm... Amaretto, almond flavor and smell, possibly a good thing to hide cyanide in.surprise  Be sure you trust your bartender.

    Especially not if you're the surgeon.

    Non-complaint: the battery life on my Surface is actually pretty decent when I’m not doing any rendering or simulations. I won’t even need to recharge it before my shift is up.

    i spent 30 minutes trying to help my dad setup a new spreadsheet because he didn't remember what formula to use and I didn't want to use the wrong one.  we ended up opening a backup spreadsheet and dug around 50 pages looking for the correct forumula.

    It's these new-fangled smaller electrons they're using now.  They can get more into a smaller package.wink

    Thank you for the explanation.  But I still feel a change should be considered. 

    I submit to all of you that doing something for no other reason than "it's what we've always done" is the WORST reason to do it, because it gives permission to never (ever) change or improve one's self.

    Yes, I'm trying to shake up the established norms here, there, and everywhere.  It's what I do, and it's what I've become good at.  And in fact, it's partly why somebody is willing to pay me a salary.

    P.S., if it MUST be a complaint thread, then I would vote for the "Why can't we rethink complaint" thread.  But that seems pessimistic and I'm not at all that way.

    But, but, but..., the thread has always ended with "complaint thread".  It's what gives it its heritage, its lineage.

    But the following would work with or without the "complaint" adjective.

    The "Kvetch & Wheee" <complaint> thread.

    Wheee.., a friend called me on the phone (how quaint), and offered to take me uptown on Thursday.  Yay, laundry, drugstore & special groceries, here I come.  AND she also indicated she was going WAY up town.  That means I can finally get to OfficeMax to recycle my dead UPS batteries and get them out of the way.  Life is good.smiley

    Yeah, yeah, I know.  Risky riding with other people, but she and her husband are as isolated as I am and with particular health reasons to avoid infection BUT they have a car, I don't.  So, it's probably her that's taking the risk.  And besides, it's way better than using the local "bus" system.frown  And WAY cheaper and safer than using Uber or taxi.surprise

    Complaint:  Arghhh..., again my CPU fan stopped and the heat zoomed up enough to cause the case fan to rev up to full blast to try to compensate and bringing my attention to the failure.frown  I've been leaving the side off of the computer for the last week or so.  That made it easy to just flick the fan with my finger to restart it.yes  But, now I guess I'll have to finally replace the CPU fan/heatsink assembly with the new one that I bought recently.indecision  I was hoping that the problem would just go away, but no such luck. 

    I like tinkering inside my computers but only when motivated by having to fix complete failures, to be able to get back on-line as quickly as possible.  This fan issue is like a leaky roof, only a problem when it rains.  Fan flicking works but I really should fix the problem properly.

    Well it's good to replace the thermal paste regularly anyway, I've planned to do it on all my PCs soon as CPU temperatures have slowly gone up over time.
