OSUT #255 - Beauty Sleep - Does it Really Work??

[ancjr]

I hear people making rude comments... but I'm giving it my all 5-6 days a week.

I'm the hardest working sandbagger they've ever seen.

Need to think of something good to eat...

New phone (my "real" cell phone) just arrived. Now I need to activate it and have my number ported over from Straight Talk.

Need to think of something good to eat...

I'm pretty sure we'd have differing opinions on what that would be...

Oh, yall will get a good laugh out of this:

I bought a laptop, moved everything over to it, had it set up perfectly... saw that the BIOS was a few versions past due for an update, so I took care of that. We had a visitor come and I had to step away and let it do its thing unattended. I come back and it's all done and rebooted, but I'm in the habit of doing a reset to defaults after BIOS updates. Reset, reboot, then: Boot device not found, please install an operating system.

It's likely an easy fix, will read up on it later.

Deputies have planes in your area?

BBQ ribs have been simmering in the crockpot all day, so I whipped up some old fashioned fried potatoes to give them company in my belly.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Howdy Lpherr.

Home again, home again. Lunch at Culver’s.

So leaving Culver’s, cut across a large parking lot and see this. Just had to pull over in ‘awe.’



No one around & can guarantee not enough room to lie down for a nap inside. Plate from county # 57

Then 3 spaces down was a kind of weirdly parked newer SUV. What caught my eye was the orange tag on outside drivers window. Then I notice no license plate. Then I see flat tire. I may be wrong but first thing came to mind was a ditched stolen car after having a flat.

AND this was in Expat’s neighborhood, sort of.

Phone activated, number ported over, Straight Talk account canceled. Now setting up the new phone.

Hello DD

Maybe they got jet packs. Or feathers and wings! I didn't specify, did I?

Pretty sure this is my fix:

Dammit. I told my phone to use a PIN to unlock the screen. Now I need to find out how to tell it NOT to do that. I don't want to have to do that.

even if you don't use PIN, it'd be a good idea to use one of the other options.

Just sit it down and explain that this behavior will not be tolerated and to stop it.

It should be in the tools.
