No joke: Last week, comedian Rosie O' Donnell had a serious health scare. Writing on her website, the talk-show host recounted how she had a heart attack on August 20, admitting that her kind of heart attack is called "the widow maker" and that she is "lucky to be here."

The star said she started experiencing symptoms after helping "an enormous woman" who was struggling to get out of her car. After assisting her, the 50-year-old recalls (in verse), "I had an ache in my chest/both my arms were sore/everything felt bruised/muscular - i thought."

But the pain persisted.

Then, she wrote, "I became nauseous/my skin was clammy/I was very very hot/I threw up/maybe this is a heart attack/I googled womens heart attack symptoms/I had many of them/but really? - I thought - naaaa."

Remembering an ad on TV, the actress popped a Bayer aspirin, and writes, "saved by a tv commercial, literally."

I think i'll send her a dozen pizza's as a get well gift.

Flinty shes and avid anti gunner that's why.

So she has a heart attack and the first thing you do is criticise her stance on guns? Hardly surprising when your signature is a picture of a firearm.

It's not surprising at all. We all pick up traits and see different things in the news dependant upon our background. Sorry, but I am not "pro guns" but the whole notion of anyone being "pro guns is bad" is just outright lame.

he :woot:

Yup, he ;)

That wasn't my point. This is a discussion about a woman who had a heart attack, which is of course unrelated to guns.

Apologies, I had you confused with another member and misread it. Corrected. :$

So if Mitt Romney had a heart attack no one would mention politics? Rosie is known for her stance on guns as is Romney with politics, people would of course comment on his politics.

She makes herself VERY vocal about gun control, she uses her fame to push an agenda. As such SHE intrinsically linked herself with the issue.

You've clearly never been here...keep stereotyping and we'll keep thinking you watch hockey everyday, eat maple syrup with every meal, and go beaver hunting on weekends, eh?

Someone has a heart attack and it's joked about and it's used to criticise their view of guns i yet another gun thread? How mature...le sigh.

Had this been Willard Mitchell Romney, they'd be up in arms crying and asking why such a thing could ever happen to him.. It's the misogyny that's disgusting.. happens all the time at neowin unfortunately..

Story of a guy getting raped.. "YEAH ATTA BOY!!!!!! WISH THAT WOULD HAPPEN TO ME!!!!"

Story of a girl getting raped... "SHE DESERVED IT, DID YOU SEE WHAT SHE WAS WEARING? SHE WAS ASKING FOR IT"

Rosie O'Donnell has a heart attack.. "HE DESERVED TO DIE.. WHAT AN UGLY GUY HE IS.... OH YEAH.. GUNS GUNS GUNS...."

Seriously KingCracker, someone has a heart attack and your first thing to do is what you did in your first post? And here I thought you might have been at least over the age of 10. I guess I expected too much.

Seriously, someone has a heart attack and the first thing you do is make a political statement about Romney? Someone needs to grow up.

That aside, she was super obese, I can't say I'm surprised that it's taking a toll on her ticker.

This is what I thought. It's of course a sad thing to happen, but between her weight and the fact that she stresses herself out being so damned angry and high-strung all the time... it is not surprising.

Yep, you should grow up.

As I was making my point using TC's own posts. But let's leave out logic. You're good at that.

So if Mitt Romney had a heart attack no one would mention politics? Rosie is known for her stance on guns as is Romney with politics, people would of course comment on his politics.

    • Meta is reusing old DDR4 RAM in its servers instead of buying new hardware

      The fact that memory in general is so high I have to take a loan out to build a computer now is just beyond stupid. Who's really to blame here? Low supply or high demand?
    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

Regular Updates – Community-driven development with new features and fixes. WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      "over a thousand engineering hours" and started selling it but could not take a couple of minuets to send an AI email to ask permission. What an expensive lesson.
