Many users are reporting massive data loss following the October 2018 Windows 10 update. Personal files are being deleted and hard drives are being corrupted in addition to several performance glitches. Users who have received the update are reporting all of their personal files such as documents, music, pictures, and videos being deleted following the update.
Some people have lost hundreds of gigabytes of data. These files are completely disappearing following the update – they do not wind up in the recycle bin, they are completely gone. Other users are reporting their entire hard drives or SSDs becoming corrupted, making rollback and recovery of said deleted files impossible.
In addition to the file deletion, devices with 6th generation Intel processors and newer are reporting awful battery life and CPU usage following the update.
Long story short, hold off on the October 2018 update for now. There are too many glitches and way too much to lose. If you attempt it,
UPDATE: “Microsoft have confirmed this issue and paused the Windows 10 October
1809 update until the bug can be resolved.”

SADLY THOSE BASTARDS MANAGE TO DEACTIVATE MY UPDATE BLOCK ALL THE TIME WHENEVER I DEACTIVATE AUTOMATIC UPDATES
So yeah, I hope they freaking correct it!
This makes me want an external hard drive even more. I can’t even imagine what I’d do if I lost all of my research data at this point, let alone everything else on my computer.
Do NOT donate to this person @cara-likes-cereal. They are at least partially lying about their situation, and might be completely lying. The photo with long hair is from 2016, she got a pixie cut in JANUARY of this year. Something is not adding up
this person isn’t being truthful, do not donate to them until they are completely honest, protect yourself
Please be safe with your money. People who know her in real life say she’s a compulsive liar and that this may be a scam.
Post is barely a week old and she’s deactivated, yeah it’s a scam.
It makes me sick that people do these things. There are people out there that really are forced into conversion therapy and have these horrible things done to them because of their sexuality. To scam money from a very supportive group of people makes you almost as worse as those that force people into conversion therapy. If you have donated money to this person I am sorry that this has happened.
Just a little more proof here you guys. Please if you’ve reblogged the original post update it so people will know it’s a scam and will stop giving her money.
this is one of the people who messaged me trying to get me to help spread their post around
you see now why i don’t interact with these people
Hi! Recently I became interested in what the common view among cisgender gay men is on the topic of dating transgender men is. So, I created this survey, it would be greatly appreciated if you filed it out and/or reblogged to spread the word! Once I get a significant amount of responses I will be publishing the results and possibly an analysis of those results.
The generic Adrenaclick will cost $109.99 for two doses, compared with $649.99 for the same amount of drug in an EpiPen. That’s good news, both for financial and safety reasons: STAT reported last year that some parents and institutions had begun filling up syringes with epinephrine as a cost-cutting measure, a DIY solution that could pose great risk to the children who may have eventually needed injections. A more affordable alternative will help ensure safer epinephrine injections.
That’s assuming, though, that the people who need these devices know exactly what to ask for when they’re sitting in their doctors’ offices. Otherwise, they’ll still be stuck with the overpriced product. Here’s why: The mechanism by which Adrenaclick injects the drug is slightly different from EpiPen’s mechanism, so the Food and Drug Administration has ruled that the two are not therapeutically equivalent. That distinction is important because it means a prescription for an EpiPen cannot be filled with Adrenaclick. If you want the cheaper option, you have to have an Adrenaclick prescription.
You must ask your doctor for an Adrenaclick prescription!
I also found a coupon from Impax on 0.15mg and 0.3mg epinephrine injection, USP auto-injectors, which appear to be the generic version of Adrenaclick; these coupons cover up to $100 per pack for 3 packs of these injectors (6 total injectors).
good morning don’t fucking use essential oils around your pets especially birds and reptiles and cats spraying your pet with diluted lavender isn’t going to antioxidize them or whatever stupid bullshit you pulled off a holistic website
There are SOME essential oils that are safe for pets but many that can and WILL injure or kill your pet. Do your damn research just like you would for yourself
There are NO essential oils safe for your pets.
I did my research. I am a biochemist.
Essential oils are concentrated extracts, which are highly volatile. Their fumes are full of phenols, monoterpene hydrocarbons, phenylpropanes, and ketones. These compounds are toxic and can cause serious illness and death through extended exposure.
Let’s take a popular one: lavender oil. The active ingredient in essential lavender oil is linaool. Linaool is a cytotoxin, it destroys cell membranes. Inhaled and placed on skin, it can cause permanent damage.
“but what if you dilute it?”
Dilution won’t work. Long time exposure of a diluted toxin will result in the same damage as short term exposure of a concentrated one. Ingesting small amounts of radioactive material over time will give me the same cancer a gamma burst would. And if you dilute it extensively, you’re basically removing any effect you desired of the oil.
There’s no reason to use essential oils around pets. They make calming supplements that aren’t volatile and toxic. They make calming pheramone diffusers. If your animal is destructive (like a plucking parrot) then they’re understimulated and bored. Spritzing your pet with dangerous oils aren’t a substitute for reassessing and changing husbandry.
I’ve used lavender countless times on my cats Sebastian. He has huge paws and lots of fur so he’s susceptible to yeast infections between his little toe beans, and lavender helps speed up the healing process and ease the swelling a bit. I’ve also used lavender for burns on my dogs paw pads.
first of all, if you have a problem with me @ me next time instead of hiding in your tags
Second of all, did you like… actually read what I wrote? Because I literally stated that lavender oil has a toxic component that can cause cell damage over time. Did you conveniently skip over that part?
I have seen MULTIPLE internet sites listing essential oils that are studied and known to be toxic to cats and dogs as “safe”. There are many, many bad sources out there. If you do your research, make sure you’re actually basing your information on scientifically verified, peer-reviewed information, not tertiary sources and anecdotal information.
Do not use essential oils on your pets or around your pets.
If your pet has chronic paw infections, take it to the vet. Your vet can address the root cause (lots of fur and big paws shouldn’t inherently cause yeast infections and I’d really suggest looking at the cat’s diet and other lifestyle issues) and provide more effective, safer treatments.
Essential oils are incredibly toxic for reptiles, birds, and small animals as well. Reptiles and birds are especially susceptible to the fumes (VOCs). This includes essential oil diffusers, which I’ve often seen touted as “safer” than candles. They are not safer and still release dangerous VOCs.
^^^^
Scented oils are fine for some animals, such as rabbits, we use scented oils to calm them, but these oils are not strong, and not essential oils as they are known to be.
Wait, so does this mean those things that diffuse the oils in the air? My mom uses one of those at her house and my parents have two dogs. Does that mean I should find her an alternative? This is the first I’ve heard of this.
I believe that my life has been doomed since I was born as I have always had such horrible luck, but I have managed to get this far, I swear I don’t know how, but I truly want to continue living. To complement my bad luck, I was born in Venezuela a country with a terrible economic situation that gets worse every single day, for the last 20 years.
I have seen so many successful fundraisers, for things like buying a cellphone, but I can’t even manage to reach people. I know helping is not mandatory, I understand if you don’t want or can’t donate.
But please, help me reach more people; this is literally a matter of life and death.
I don’t know what else to do. I don’t want to stay here any longer. Predictions say that for the second half of the year the situation will be so terrible that even if you have some money you won’t be able to buy anything because there will be NOTHING to buy. All those that don’t manage to leave will simply die of starvation, sickness or pretty much anything.
I just want to leave with my mother as soon as possible, I promise we will do it spending as little as possible. We are even planning on helping out a friend that is in a worse position than ours. He would be of great help in the travel. It is a 7 days long journey by bus from Venezuela to Peru. We have to go through Colombia, Ecuador and Peru to reach Lima (Peru’s Capital city. This way we would save as many as 3 times what is worth the travel by plane). Plus, we will have some money left to rent somewhere cheap when we arrive, do all the paperwork to stay legal in the country and survive while we find a job and get paid.
Living here in Venezuela, I swear it must be like living in North Korea with a bit of internet. The government does whatever they want; they up until this very moment are still stealing all the money this country generates. They deny that there is a crisis. They won’t leave humanitarian aid to arrive. And they will NEVER leave the power willingly. EVEN if someone overthrows the government it will take as much as 50 years or even more for this mess to be somewhat fixed.
I do not have the time to wait. Nobody has it and that is why people are fleeing in mass. But I do not have the resources. At any moment, the government could block all the ways of getting out.
Please help me, just by getting out of here, I can try to make a life or my own. I will have the chance, the first ever chance of just living and not surviving one day more.
Believe me when I say that just 1$ will be of great help, or just sharing my fundraiser so more people will see it.
It sadly has a time limit, Gofundme acquired Youcaring and obviously Venezuela is not in the countries supported by Gofundme and I do not have a bank account to open a fundraiser there. So, I only have 33 days left with this fundraiser before it gets taken down.
First off, I’d like to thank everyone who liked and shared my last post regarding Makhmal’s Medical Fund.
So far, we have not received any donations. I must say, I am a bit saddened, but I understand that not everyone can donate and that the post did not reach many people.
I don’t like to share my follower count, but in this case, I think it is necessary to help spread the word about Makhmal and her need for support from kind patrons like you.
There are 21,562 of you wonderful people with wonderful blogs. It’s not a remarkable number, but it is a good number and I appreciate every single one of you for supporting me and following my appreciation for wild cats all over the world (including domestic cats). If only 4,000 of you donate just $1, Sara would be able to help pay off Makhmal’s surgery costs as well as provide continual support (physical therapy, rehabilitation, etc.) in the hopes that one day, Makhmal may be able to utilize her left hind leg to the best of her ability.
Just one dollar and we can get Makhmal the help that she so desperately needs!
Every donation counts. Every reblog and share counts. Please do not give up on Makhmal. She is only 6 months old. A beautiful tortie shell kitten who so desperately needs your help. Please help her mom pay off her medical costs and provide her with the medical support and care that she needs.
I know that this is not wild cat related, but a domestic cat is just as important and worthy of our attention and help. As you know, there are 39 extant species of cat, the Domestic cat is #40.
@ all my followers who are currently under 16 and live in the EU or EEA (European economic area):
Tumblr will probably delete your blog or terminate it on 25th May 2018. They’re updating to terms and conditions and New European Privacy and the new minimum age to use tumblr will be 16.
We have government agencies providing resources for this initiative and they are now considering ongoing financial support, but it is critical that we show that this project has strong public backing.
All Donations Now Matched Until December 31st.
We have already raised $150K, half of our total goal. If our GoFundMe Campaign is successful, we can wrap up our fundraising by the end of the year and open Canada’s first Family Shelter for Abused Men and Children in 2018!
************************************************** Hello and welcome to the Canadian Centre for Men and Families. The Centre has become a place of hope and transformation for boys, men and fathers in our community who often come to us when no other support is available. And now we and they need you.
Since we opened our doors, every day we get calls from men desperately searching for a safe haven from an abusive partner. Many of these callers are fathers with children and they have no place to go.
Now imagine you and your child live each day in fear of violence, but no one believes you because you’re a man. That is the situation for thousands of fathers every year. Although it may be hard to believe, Statistics Canada data and sociological research is clear: men suffer domestic abuse at rates comparable to women, yet their access to vital support services including crisis centres and emergency counselling is almost non-existent.
The critical missing piece are domestic abuse shelters for fathers and children. Single father families are the fastest growing family form in Canada. Yet while the caregiving role of dads quickly expands, fathers who are suffering violence in the home still have no safe place where they can escape with their children.
If governments are reluctant to step up then it’s time for you and I to lead by example. That’s what an amazing team of philanthropists did when they donated $150,000 to build Toronto’s first Family Shelter for Abused Men and Children. That means we’re already half way to our goal. And now to help us get to the finish line, we have a backer who has stepped up to match your contributions – dollar for dollar – up until $50,000, only until December 31st.
This could be the game changer we’ve been waiting for, but only if we each take the initiative.
In the last few years, shelters for abused men and children have begun to pop up in small towns in places like Arkansas and Texas, but if we’re successful here we will open the first shelter for abused men and children in any metropolitan municipality in North America. If we’re successful we can be the lifeline for so many families in desperate need of help. If we’re successful the effects will be felt far beyond Toronto for we will have sparked a critical change in the conversation around gender and victimization, and that means more support for all vulnerable families.
This is is your chance to guarantee that success and to be a part of this landmark initiative.
The time has come for all of us to take a bold step. Your support is absolutely critical for us to capitalize on the foundation that has been built.
That’s why we are asking you to please make a gift at this time and to and work with us to bring the first shelter for abused men and children to Canada’s largest city. All donations receive a charity receipt, which means you could get up to 40% back in tax benefits.
We are offering a variety of rewards for different levels of contribution. Please note that you will receive all rewards both at your level and at all levels below.
Thank you so for your interest. We are eager to join forces with you on a special project that will greatly improve many lives.
