What does this mean?
My mum had this come up on her desktop with Windows 10 installed on an SSD. What does this mean exactly? Never seen this before, the C drive (SATA SSD is about 6 months old maximum).

DVDs in the street
I was walking to my town's shopping centre to sell some films and some old electronics when I came across a public bin (or public trash can for you Americans) and next to it was a bunch of large bits of waste dumped next to it from a nearby house, along with some DVDs. I stopped to have a look and they all seemed in good condition, not broken or wet. I picked out seven of them out of eight as the eighth one was a bootleg (I could tell by the poor quality cover print). I took them with me to sell aswell. Didn't get a lot for them, but I think it's better to have them go to a anoher home rather than the landfill.
I have most of these on blu-ray anyway so I had no use for them.

I think my instructor is taking the piss
Like the title says; I think my instructor is taking the piss.
I've been with the same instructor for a year now and had about 60 hours of lessons (about half the lessons were 2 hours as my closest teat centre is 30 minutes drive away).
He told me that closer your test it's best to not drive my dad's car as it will throw me off the feel of my instructor's car's feel, that's understandable, completely get that.
So the day of my test in April which I had booked for 6 months, my instructor messages me the day before saying that he has a warning light on his dash, and an examiner won't let me out on a drive with this on the dashboard.
The annoying thing is; I saw the warning light for two weeks before my test on lessons with him, and he hasn't said a word about it either until the afternoon before my test date...?!
So I was forced to use my dad's car and had to get temp cover on it for the actual test. Unfortunately I failed on one serious fault, got another test booked in for October, luckily I was able to change it to the middle of June (this coming Friday), and last week I noticed he has another warning light on the dash, and I questioned him about it, if he will get it sorted by next week (this week now) for my test, he said yes.
I message him today to ask about it and he said it is an intermittent fault and it just so happened to not come on during his service yesterday (Monday) so he told me I might have to chance it on Friday in his car, or take my dad's car again...
What the actual f**k?...
Anyone else think that he is just taking the piss at this stage? He's been very good up until my failed test in April.

Work Loot
At my workplace, they get pastries, sandwiches and glass bottled pop sometimes for visitors or big meetings on site. Almost always there's leftovers. As my job includes taking the bins out (dumpsters on wheels) I came across two big boxes with windows on the top, and inside were these pastries! They must have only today put them in there, so I asked for two takeaway trays from the canteen and put them in there and brought them home! :) Two cinnamon swirls and three apricot danishes.
