Thanks. I looked in general, but I tend to steer clear of that subforum.
He's okay, GF is okay. We sent him to bed.
This morning my phone had a message from my family chat saying dead/wounded/location, and a Facebook notification of a friend being safe. I think when Paris happened someone used it way after I knew they were safe, but this time it was actually useful.
Here you (and anyone else) go:I didn't know such a thing existed. Also, none of you have friended me on FB

I don't even have a facebook account. Well, not a real one anyway, just a fabricated account with a false name and picture I use for things that require a facebook login or "like us on facebook for your free code to xyz."
In unrelated news, the cat thinks I'm in dire distress if I sing in the shower. He starts meowing piteously until I stop, but I thought he just didn't like the sound until today, he actually poked his head around the shower curtain to check on me. He usually won't even go near the shower if it's on, so that was full on "sticking your hand inside the box full of venomous insects" time for him, except it was his HEAD. All to make sure I wasn't drowning/dismembered in the horrible coldwet-maker.

Hey, you guys were talking about who was friends with who on facebook! If you want to friend me, you can friend Buzzy Pomona for all the good it'll do you.
But you'd probably find my google+ account slightly less useless
Edit: oh wait, you're already in my circles, so never fucking mind

It's just a lot of pictures of my dog and me being tagged in pictures I'm not even in. Knock yourself out. But really, let's be friends.
Don't know your Mundane name.
Daniel Stephenson on Facebook. Current profile pic is a pair of handcuffs forming a 4-leaf clover. Y'all can all add me if you like.

If enough people friend you, you'll be tempted to look occasionally...
When I saw your name in my Twitter list, all I could think of was Pascal Dupuis of the Penguins going "thanks Daaaan" at the end of his interviews with Dan Potash of Root Sports.
Here, wipe your tears on yet another account https://www.facebook.com/denbroughtI didn't know such a thing existed. Also, none of you have friended me on FB
Facebook creates dislike button, just for Fade to interact with Halforumites.I didn't know such a thing existed. Also, none of you have friended me on FB
Don't let her fool you. I'm getting a really cool 20 sided die Nate designed because of a facebook post she made.https://www.facebook.com/christa.spencer.7

It's arriving Thursday.
So everyone should definitely friend LittleKagsin.
Which, he's so excited about, so thank you.
I hope you like it!

Most of my FB posts are mini-blog posts about things I don't like, so there's consistency for you.[DOUBLEPOST=1458663545,1458663271][/DOUBLEPOST]man what the hell. Creepy tracking algorithms recommended Buzzy Paloma as a friend even though he only has one friend.

And that one friend isn't even anybody either of us knows, to my knowledge!
But yeah, Facebook has figured out who I am, it's recommending me friends in the form of my aunts, uncles and cousins. And coworkers.
I hate that crap. My wife has Facebook on her phone and it started pulling in people from Instagram, and then she found it had connected with the map and tracked her location, and then the phone drew off that data to recommend routes and ask if she wanted to tell people she'd gotten to work or home.

I went to my local diner to get dinner last night. I was not really paying attention to what was going on... I walk into the second dining area and there was a large table with about 20 people sitting there. They were all sitting quietly, looking down. I supposed they were praying. Then I sat down and the diner's owner said in a loud voice, "B - 20"
...oh, Bingo

At first I was all "I don't hear anything" and then "WTF"
Anyway, that sounds like a moving part spinning down, my first suspicion is a cooling fan. A heat dissipation problem could definitely cause frequent reboots/crashes. You might check all your heat sinks/fans to make sure they're properly seated and spinning freely.
Or did that noise come out of your speakers? If that's the case, and your sound is built into your motherboard... then yeah... you're probably hosed.
