About to do a full system restore on my laptop. Pray I didn't forget to put anything essential onto my external HDD.

Using what methods?

 

[PillarEN]

Using what methods?

It was just a classic restore to factory settings which is available in the control panel in the recovery section under the advanced tab. "Return Your Computer To Factory Condition". All went well.

almost everyone here but us is Team Mayo

we need to put our differences aside and work together

I never had any differences with you, all the Habs-themed shit posting I do is because I admire you and I want your attention

 

[calder]

Good lord what a slow day. I have vacation starting tomorrow and I honestly thought it must be close to 4pm and it's just fucking 2:30 what is this shit.

On my way to a baseball game tonight so of course it starts raining.

I was unaware of you attending any sporting events without a super premium parking spot.

attendance in baseball is so low I wouldn't be surprised if the allowed him to park by the 2nd base for a few extra bucks

I'm guessing you're either on Windows 8 or 10, but both Operating Systems have the option to "refresh" your PC by wiping everything but leaving your personal files intact. It's pretty neat.

Windows 7 actually

I kinda wanted to wipe a bunch of files though. 4 years of build up ya know?

EDIT: Stupid question, but what would constitute as "personal files"? Like word documents and pictures and such? Would it wipe my installed games?

Yeah, documents, music, photos, videos, downloads.

 

[PillarEN]

Right. There was plenty of stuff I needed to drop and clean up the computer anyways so I guess I went the right route regardless.

Would that method be useful if there was some nasty virus on a person's computer they couldn't get rid of, but they didn't want to get rid of their stuff like music? Or in that case would the only proper solution be a full factory restore as well?

I'd say it would be. It basically resets your PC without deleting your personal files.

I haven't had to do a reset because of a virus, but it's thorough in cleaning your computer up.

Well this is the lowes rung of minor league baseball so there really arent any premium parking spots.

Catch all the balls!

Im gonna try!

Just run CCleaner and call it a day I'd say

looks like hockeyanalysis and puckalytics have gone dark

those were good resources for advanced hockey stats

Welp. That was basically the top stat site.

Corsica is our only hope

 

[zroid]

sure would be nice if the NHL actually put the effort in to make their own site relevant instead of getting free labour from fans

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Uh.....no.

Mike Fisher announces his retirement.

Preds were clearly building under the assumption that he wasn't coming back, but it still kinda sucks to hear.

Of course, this means that the Preds will need to select another captain.

Who do you think will be the clear front runner? I assume PK isn't in the conversation, but it would be pretty funny to see him get it after getting sidelined from it in Montreal.

Wouldn't be surprised to see it go to Josi or Ellis. RyJo and Forsberg don't seem the type, and while giving Subban the C would make for a glorious shitstorm (and he's pretty clearly one of the top faces of the franchise), I don't think that the organization has the balls to do it.

Strike while the iron is hot Dopey! There's a gap now, you get in there and become the premier hockey stats site.

I think Forsberg or RyJo will be captain. Heck maybe even Josi

zroidcharts.com would be the infinitely better solution and you know it

creepertrades.net is the place to be.

 

[imBask]

I actually looked into buying all of those domains this morning but i'm not willing to spend like $50 on a joke

Gallagher + a 2nd round pick to the Pens for Crosby with salary retained (C5)

I just now realized had Carrie Underwood taken Fisher's last name she'd be Carrie Fisher.

she did take his name, just uses Underwood as a stage name iirc.

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Captain will be Ellis I think. Been there the longest out of the contenders and I think there were a few games where he got the A and some of the others didn't.

I've abandoned Apple and now have an S8. What are some must have's here? I've already installed the Google now launcher and gboard.

So sleek.

Play around and experiment with widgets. Date/time/weather. Calendar, music, news. Etc. That'd be the biggest change, I think. Otherwise I'm not aware of any killer apps that aren't also available with Apple.

My favorite difference is the obscene amount of customization options available. However thats not something everyone cares about

Yeah. For someone like my mom, or perhaps Smelly, customization is terrifying so a rigid UI structure is required.

So POPGAF has gone the way of FigureGAF and has been shut down. They now only live on through Pop gifs.

What was the final nail in the coffin?

 

[PillarEN]

K-On! GAF outlived PopGAF.

Spoiler

kawaii

Can't say I was ever bothered by PopGAF other than the annoying inside culture that they would bring to other random threads once every blue moon. But that was sort of endearing rather than a problem. A minor itch rather than a knife gash.
