I was being sarcastic. is there any topic in history more discussed than the causes of the Great War? I can name 3 recent monographs on the subject that have been covered in literary journals in the last 3 months.

also a new book from the Russian perspective.

essentially everything being said here has been said in about 100 popular history Amazon bestsellers.

you evidently didn't read far enough down the complicated paragraphing to see my point about amazon bestsellers – clearly pitched more at your level.

I don't know, a lot of the stuff on Amazon is pretty wordy.

FWP: DVD players are still mostly region coded - the format is practically dead, pretty well the only place to get DVDs is Amazon and yet they won't play because the region coding is different.

I am really nervous about riding a motorcycle. I think I am going to die on one someday soon.

jeez jay.

And no, you'll be fine. The first few times I rode mine it was at night when the streets were empty. You'll get used to it.

I highly recommend riding by yourself, then you have no pressure to ride beyond what you feel is safe. Whenever I rode with other people it became an aggression fueled pissing match that would make me do stupid shit like weaving in and out of traffic on the highway at 90 mph.

Found out from my sister that my dad still gives my mom money to buy groceries for us, and yet we're almost always out of the food we eat in this house. I wonder where that money is going

My Windows updated and the volume control button disappeared. I can still control the volume with the keyboard but otherwise have no way to do it onscreen.

I guess I will just get it back when Windows is ready.

Windows 8.1 I didn't even want to upgrade to 8.1 and kept saying no. Then yesterday it restarted and installed itself in the middle of a AoE match.

Shouldn't there also be a button to sign up for a free Windows 10? Microsoft is robbing me of buttons.

Nope.

The volume control button is listed there but is not in the tray. So it still exist. I just can't have it.

I want Windows 10

Why wouldn't you have wanted 8.1 if you only had 8?

Lost my social security card. Social security requires that I either show up in person or mail in the form, no electronic requests. Is this 1985 or 2015?

I don't get to buy a birthday present for myself because my microwave died. Now I have to spend my birthday money on a new microwave.

At least you are going to get one kickass new microwave when the time comes. Like a microwave toaster

Time is already past, and as cool as that one looks, I need to get a stainless over the range microwave. It is either repair my current one for $160 or by a new one for $200.
