I'll find a redbull can and paint it black and wrap it around and double stick tape it on. Just came to me, lol.

Phen needs a tug.. I mean a hug..
My next car will be neither one in question so I'll be making my own kind of rice. ha!
Pablo, 8.1 takes under 15 seconds to boot. About 7 to login screen and about the same after the pw.
While 15 vs 30 seconds doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, once you go full ssd, it's impossible to go back. Every time I spin up my win7 pc, I get frustrated, pull the plug, and walk away. Too...friggin....slow.
Time to get my beefcake on!!! BEEFCAKE!!
I had that SSD on the laptop I got from Evan, it was quick but nothing like this. My work laptop kills me, bitlocker is a b****... still waiting for a new one since this one is 4 years old (new one should have an SSD)
Yep, I finally got a 500G ssd into the work laptop, but we have full drive encryption too, which makes it feel like a regular hdd. What a pain.
One thing I learned is to barely ever shut it down. I always sleep the laptop and it takes less than 5 seconds to get it running.
Every time I restart it, the whole procedure takes at least 20 minutes. ~160 processes on average, 3 browsers, couple of vpn clients, office, cygwin, etc. Startup makes it sync with AD too so policy update, software check, etc. EF THAT. Once a month restart is sufficient.
Home pc boot is so quick because it only starts the basics - steam, spotify, video drivers / software, and hardware monitor. No bloatware / extras.

I only reboot when it crashes or when I install Windows updates. But I do the same, hibernate every day. I have 3 browsers with multiple tabs, IM, Slack, One Note, Word, Excel, Fiddler, VM and\or RDP connection and sometimes Visual Studio. Its a pain to get all that s*** running. It takes forever to process the video from the GoPro, we'll see how the new one does.
I need to sign up for Steam, planning to back a Kickstarter for a game and the pledge makes me an Alpha Tester.

Probably. I'm actually more concerned it won't hold because it's right next to the rear exhaust loop, lol. I can get adhesive off with goo-gone/WD-40, but unsure if paint thinner or stripper would mess up the gold anodizing on the reservoir.
Nursery is finally painted...maybe not enjoyable but productive.
worked a s*** load friday, DSM shootout saturday, Jennifer came home from vacation on sunday so I spent that with her till she left for school today. Going to finish the neon today sell it then go get the new 3 for dd use. Need to get the miata running so the ms3 can go down for a few parts to get refreshed.
Any weekend with TWO Menchies nights is a good weekend.
*gasp* TWO Menchies nights?!?! Well that's just crazy talk now and you know it

you can get away with a lot of s*** when you get older, nobody wants to argue with old people (except old people)
Unless you're not wanting to be single
Ain't that the damn truth.
