OMG!!! this is perfect!!! Thanks @JaredBusch , it will be easier to walk people through an out of the box pc.

We use this constantly

yes and it will be great for my padawan to use as reference as well

I need to update this a little bit. The best thing to do with windows 10 pro, is the click set up for business and domain join (even if no domain). Type in admin username. Leave password blank. Wait for install to complete. Install remote access tool. Set admin account password. Create user account. Reboot.

yea, i've noticed there are some new screens like there's one that prompts you to opt for a "limited experience"

This is the 1903 way to get a local account when choosing personal setup vs corporate ownership of the device.

yea i dont know what the page says, i just know to click on limited experience to no have their microsoft account tied to it.

@wirestyle22 said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:

Birthday dinner last night. In the middle is mac n cheese with truffles.

I was so starving by the time we ate that I forgot to take a pic of the apps. This used to be fried pickles on the top and pork belly with clams in coconut sauce on the bottom.

Happy late birthday!

on today's menu : some salmon thing from blue apron.

Happy Monday, all y'all!

~grumbles something about hating Mondays~

Still better than birthdays

I dunno, on birthdays you at least have a good excuse to eat cake. Birthdays> Mondays

@tim_g said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

It's someone's birthday every day... so if you need an excuse to eat cake every day, you have one.

True. Guess I'll grab a slice after I hit the gym later.

Just had a good conversation with the Texas Wage board They are ready to go after my former employer who owes me a small fortune; and, here is the best part, they recommended that I have a chat with immigration and customs about what they've been doing here in the US and maybe have their border crossing options limited (e.g. welcome to this small but comfy holding cell to hang out in while we consider letting you leave.)

You mean Citi?

He's meaning that logistics company that wanted him to move their hq from Qatar to Spain.

oh? you don't work there anymore? I missed that!

They officially let me go a few days ago (well technically, they can't let me go, my contract says a month's notice) but they gave me notice a few days ago because I demanded my paychecks.

As you can imagine, firing someone for asking for their paycheck doesn't go over well to the Texas wage board.

Right now they are looking at...

• Not having paid wages.
• Running a scam (state gov't recommend I turn them in to immigration).
• Not paying their taxes (that's between them and the IRS, but this will flag them.)
• Unemployment claims.
• One month's pay for notice.
• Possibly claims for intent to defraud.
• Wrongful termination, since it was not an at-will position.
• And always the possibility of a discrimination investigation.

OH DANG!

Yup, the state said "You should call ICE, they can seize them at the border." Tee hee

DOOOOO IT!!! I hope they pay more just for wasting time!

Having this for dinner:

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/curry-chicken-pot-pie-recipe-1912950

That looks way tasty! How'd it turn out?

It was excellent. I highly recommend this recipe.

I just went back to print the recipe and I saw Alton Browns face and everything made sense. His show was great.

Kids decided to have me read to them during their shower tonight. So I sat on the floor and read. We are on the final Harry Potter book after having a Harry Potter movie marathon day.

Looks like they taught you very well

They have. We read six chapters last night!

You're so nice, my mom would have just told me a terrifying story and then left or just scolded me to sleep.

@jaredbusch said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:

Roller grill items from the gas station

dude, my guilty pleasure is the roller taquitos/tornado cheese filled things on the roller grill.

@wirestyle22 said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:

Dinner tonight is going to be a large pile of various fast food. This week sucked and idgaf tonight.

Reading about ketogenic diets, but wondering if eating a diet with large fat contents is worth it.

The human body is made to eat all sorts of things... so I try to feed it all sorts of things... rabbit food, junk food, sweet food, salty food, food with lots of fat, and food with little fat... Say, look a that! This one wears a yellow hat!

Yes! but don't eat the hat, that's asking for a foreign body surgery.

We prep our meals & freeze them and then just toss them in a crock pot when it's time for the next one!

oooo that's a great idea! I freeze my smoothie components. It saves me money on bananas and it makes a great base.

My wife found a website, and we tried a few recipes, and it was great. So now, we usually play mix-n-match with the emails we get from there... (https://newleafwellness.biz/)

The Beef & Barley Stew is awesome.

awesome! I will definitely check it out!

edit: just checked it out and it is now bookmarked.

Reading this email from a user...

"So the clinic bought two laptops from the pawn shop and they definitley have a virus or something. The history on one of them is pretty amusing but basically I need to get them scanned and the virus protection put on them. They can have (Redacted) put on them but (Redacted) is not necessary. The computer I have ready is called Laptop-97hj0gjg. Do I need to install anything on the computer for you to log onto it?"

SMH...

just cleaned the second one ... found garbage and bitcoin mining software. No, just no.

Trying to come up with a restaurant that won't be super crowded tonight because I'm not in the mood to cook dinner.

It is officially Lent, so maybe a steakhouse, depends on how big the Catholic population is in your area.

It's also valentine's day... I think that might make steak places crowded. Big Asian population near me, not sure there are that many catholics. I've already had 2 places laugh at me when I called about a reservation.

At least you don't have to go have dinner with in laws.
