He's British. Saying you "fancy" someone is quite normal in British English.

Aye.

Fictitious kinship is a big thing in East Asia. Big sister, auntie, uncle and big brother are all terms of respect in some contexts.

Don't get me wrong. I certainly agree with "eat less; exercise more"!

Ahem, true. Metabolism varies between individuals, and it slows with age.

Fair enough.

Well, you are at the top of the thread. However Kinja has its quirks.

If you want someone to do something for you, calling that person "idiot" and "dickhead" may not be the best way to start the conversation.

Larson was more into anthropomorphising animals and such. In any case he did have a way of cutting to the ironic core of the poodle.

Ok let's start again. It might be an age/location thing. Larson was huge in Northern Europe back when I was a teenager in the late eighties.

You do have a point that it was, perhaps, poor judgment given the circumstances.

First of all, it is not porn. It is erotica. Secondly, it is text and thus does not contain imagery which could be considered offensive to others. Thirdly, what books she wants to read on her own time is her own business.

No need for a drive wiper. Just use the tool in the installation program. You'll keep the drive so you're not worried about trying to mine the data.

Yep, that's how you do it. However I wouldn't install "on top of" the current OS. That's known as a "repair install" or "refresh install". It can help but is nowhere near as effective.

This is the advice I live by, and which I give to customers.

YES!

"There are only two types or hard drive: new and full."

You need a backup that is at least as large as your main HDD. Frankly a 3TB external drive is pretty cheap nowadays.

I've experienced basically the same policy with Seagate. Either a new or refurbished drive, but typically a new one.
