I don’t know how it is with Windows 10, but when installing Windows 7 in analogous fashion I ran into this confusing scenario which may also apply here:

Irony alert: referring to “Swiss cheese” is itself a form of ignorance. Only Americans (and maybe the British?) use the term, generally to refer to supermarket Emmental. People who “try some real cheeses” will know that there are many different kinds of Swiss cheese, and thinking that “Swiss cheese” is a thing makes…

And monetary considerations are not the only criteria for the purchase of a vehicle.

This movie lost me at “Adam Sandler and Kevin James”, but it’s nice to know I didn’t prejudge it unfairly.

Sure, it’s Option Package D on the Outback, and incorporates the Cold Weather Package.

And finally I have it under control of my Wii nunchuck. Things I learned:

Little known fact: “Nicki Minaj Taylor Swift” is an anagram of “Kinja Friction Will Stay”*

My go-to for people being extremely rude is simply this: “Your mother must be so proud of you right now”. It’s a complete show-stopper, and also won’t get you into trouble if overheard in a public space.

Came here to say the exact same thing, so instead I will just leave you a star and add this footnote: the monthly compounding on the credit card makes it even more valuabe to be paying down the bill every month instead of waiting for the refund.

Many years ago when I was living in France a friend came to visit me. His phrasebook contained all the usual stuff — “Where is the bank, please?”, “How much is a one-way ticket to Paris?”, etc. — plus this gem: “Is this architecture typical of the region?”. I’ve always wondered what possible answer to that question,…

You probably won’t use a multimeter very often, but it’s not a bad idea to keep one in your toolbox for basic electrical work around your house, and at $11, you might as well pick one up.

I’m still not exactly sure why Joe Theismann is ever invited on TV to discuss anything other than football.

I recently discovered the secret to decluttering my bookcases. I realized that somewhere in my head I had this fantasy movie of visitors to my house standing in front of my book collection, admiring how well-read I was, how broad my taste and eclectic my knowledge. And I finally accepted that this is never, ever going…

I can’t tell you how much I am looking forward to my son being old enough to ride the big rollercoasters without an accompanying adult...

When you get raptured, can I have your stuff?

Sounds very plausible. My son, who also grew up with first person games, has no problem either playing himself or watching me play. All of which makes me wonder whether the eye-ear coordination is not predetermined, but something learned over time, i.e. that some other process in the brain learns to associate and…

Probably a similar mechanism of mismatched stimuli, except in reverse. Your eyes say you are moving, but your inner ear says you aren’t. (Personally I can’t watch my son play a first person game for more than a couple of minutes without getting very nauseous.)

Thank you. As a child I was routinely carsick, my elder and younger brothers sharing exactly the same home and exactly the same cars never were. Oh, and as an teenager I simply “outgrew” it.

I don’t know much about guacamole, but can’t we just give peas a chance?

I bought one last time they showed up here. I have absolutely no practical use for it, I just like pointing it at things to see how hot they are. So thanks, Kinja.
