    I miss working 4 10s and always having 3 days off Now I often work overtime due to being on call or just understaffed. I’m still expected to be at the office 5 days a week. I know what you mean though. I do all the cooking in my house and have the longest hours. That means we often eat out or eat junk food instead of a proper meal.

    I’ve had 2 instances where the Shift+F10 method didn’t work on a Windows 11 Home edition install. 1 was a brand new HP laptop I set up for a friend. It came with a bunch of bloatware so I created a bootable USB and reinstalled the OS. It didn’t pull up a command prompt when I tried the command no matter what I did. The second was at work. I accidentally let it update during the setup and afterwards it accepted the bypass command, but still never gave me the option to log in without a Microsoft account. I have a feeling they’re phasing that option out for Home.

    At least Pro has the domain join option. Still it sucks that Bitlocker gets set up automatically and associates the key with the first Microsoft account you sign in with.

    Lol, I really don’t care. I’m a cis gendered dude and I’m completely comfortable using the men’s bathroom. It just defeats the stated purpose to have a 3rd bathroom for people who feel uncomfortable in the other 2.

    Side note: for the love of god if you shit at work clean up after yourself. Bring baby wipes if you have to.







  • Just to add to my other comment, rocksmith is awesome if you have the reflexes for it. Otherwise, songsterr is great too. For learning strumming patterns I’d say relax your wrist and make sure your strap height is comfortable. I keep mine raised quite a bit to be able to hit high frets with ease. A lot of guitarists will disagree with me but use a thin pick and light strings.

    Also, as I said in my other post adjust string action and practice everyday. I’ve been playing since I was a teenager and I play all styles of music. My forte is advanced lead stuff but my advice works for rhythm guitar as well. I’d say if your goal is rhythm you may be drawn to thicker picks, thicker strings, and lower strap height, but it’s really about what feels comfortable to you.

    Also, if you have any interest learning fingerstyle you may want to start on a nylon string guitar. I used a guitalele at the beginning and the difference in comfort blew my mind. Now I only play steel string acoustic when I need to record fingerstyle acoustic stuff, but there’s a reason nylon strings are great for beginners.

    If you need more advice about anything else guitar related just hit me up. I love passing down my knowledge.
