They always give you a scare since it looks like Windows is booting into a recovery environment. Just had one, and the only options I had were "Remind me in 3 days" and "Continue".

It's always about Microsoft wanting you to set Edge as your default browser as well as trying to get you to log in on a Microsoft account and you have to individually decline every suggestion since you can't just skip the fucking thing.

Piss off, Microsoft

    entirely unnecessary English usage pedantry only of interest to nerds who want to infiltrate the American deep state by virtue of flawless diction

    although "periodical" has acquired an adjectival sense through normal processes of language change, it sounds more natural to me to use "periodic" as an adjective here instead. "periodical" started as a noun that meant "regular publication like a magazine or a newspaper". that being said what you wrote is perfectly understandable and most people probably wouldn't notice at all.

    ugh even with the spoiler I still feel like a dork for saying this

      You're completely right- I fucked up and there's no excuse. I will reflect on this failure and call up my old English teachers to let them know I let them down obama-sad

          I can be pedantic about this sort of stuff too so I actually appreciate the correction and will pay attention to periodic vs periodical in the futurestalin-approval
