can of tuna.
Seriously, we need tuna can control.... Was rushing today to make SWMBO (and I love her) some lunch. Pull tab off can of tuna slipped. 7 elephanting stitches later... SOB cut my %$#% thumb to the bone. Sort of weird looking at parts of my thumb flapping in the sink. A bitch to hit the space bar.
be safe out there!

Ditto for anything else with sharp or fragile edges. In fact, let's give up on anything that could conceivably cause any sort of injury, however slight.
We might have a problem surviving - after we've given up fire, we might discover that trees are unsafe, too.

I'm cringing just thinking about it because I've done that and it is the worse cut I ever had.

I'm poking fun at myself for sure. I use power saws, table saws, chain saws and really sharp kitchen knives all the time. I simply was careless and entered the "awww elephant" zone. I'm selling all of my guns and putting "this house protected by tuna cans" signs in my yard

Not recently but if prices continue to rise, as they have we may find there will be a shortage of ALPO!

Just turn the tuna can tops into shuriken in your basement workshop...

I took one of these filters once, touched my fingers together through one of the holes, and spun. Yeah, it made a nice, deep ring around both fingers.

We ate ham (the big chunk on the stand, no ham slices) on new year's eve, so I cut slices with a long unsharp knife, towards my hand that was steadying the stand, I slipped out with the knife = I won a drive to the emergency services at 1:30 on the 1st of january. How to end a good night in blood.
4 stitches and a nice scar on my finger, which does not come as a surprise since you can count at least three big fails in my above sentence.

Holy crap Charlie!
I need to be more careful, as I made SWMBOEMTCSWMBO (SWMBO even more than Charlie's SWMBO) a tuna sandwich for lunch.

Display driver?!!
That's the latest Game Ready GeForce driver package!
What on earth could it possibly include that it's that large?

That's because they are too lazy to break each card into its own driver package. Uungh!

I don't think it's a matter of being lazy. I can't imagine trying to support packages unique to each card and OS version and then dealing with irate customers who don't know what video card they have or what OS version they are running. I would guess a driver package for a specific card model or generation of cards and OS version would be between 10 and 20% of what they have but the support requirements would be the inverse of that - 5 to 10 times more.

The "GeForce Experience" app, which you are required to use to install the drivers, knows which card and OS you have.

No, that is not required. I installed the latest version just last night and it is optional. You are right though, the type of customer who doesn't know those things should and likely will install that.
