I've been reminded (and ran out of space to say had I remembered) that the NL's Yankees, a mediocre team full of fantastically expensive players, played a fantastically talented team full of injured players and still just barely won 3 of the 7 games on pure luck alone.

The #BlueJays were robbed of so many #MLB #WorldSeries winning opportunities by so improbably little that the decisive event was the compromised structural integrity of a #baseball bat.

They forced the #Dodgers to need all 7 games, forced them to need 11 extra innings on top of that, outscored them 34 runs to 26, out-batted them 75 hits to 53, out-fielded them 0 errors to 3, & exposed their lack of depth beyond their very few star players.

The worse of the two teams was crowned champions.

So many World Series-winning opportunities all missed by so improbably little, that the final, series-deciding one was the compromised structural integrity of a baseball bat.

The Blue Jays forced the series to need all seven games, forced two of them (3 and 7) to need extra innings, outscored the Dodgers 34 runs to 26, out-hit them 75-53, and out-fielded them 0 errors to 3.

The worse of the two teams won.

Fuck the NL's Yankees.

No programs were moved over, so whereas every other version of Windows would use generic icons for the program's desktop shortcuts, Windows 11 causes every icon on the desktop, in Windows Explorer windows, and in the PC Settings app, to cycle constantly between generic icons and their proper icons.

The only supported version of Windows is less ready for daily use than Windows Vista RC1.

After a reportedly successful migration, the Windows 11 desktop's icons are now blinking, cycling between generic icons and proper icons, like a VCR blinking 12:00.

Microsoft's answer was to delete %userprofile%\AppData\Local\IconCache.db (migrated over) & force-restart Windows Explorer. It worked. For a few seconds.

softing Microfuck.

Windows Backup will let you migrate from a win10 PC to a win11 PC, but only if your primary account on both are Microsoft accounts signed into the same OneDrive account.

Dell SupportAssist will let you migrate without a Microsoft account if both PCs are Dells, but it will automatically nuke the old PC's data before you have a chance to verify the migration's success.

Why does Microsoft not have a PC migration tool even half as good as Windows XP's Files and Settings Transfer Wizard anymore?

Three hours until the spookiest World Series game.

Well, Yamamoto might make the final tally 4 games to 3. Or the Jays' entire lineup finally shake him up like they've done the rest of the Dodgers' pitchers. We'll see.

The difference between the Dodgers and the Blue Jays:

The Dodgers are a team of great players.

The Blue Jays are a great team of players.

This #WorldSeries is going to end with the team representing another country again winning 4 games to 2. #MLB
