American Chop-Sui for breakfast, why not?

A pound of ground sausage and equal weight of onions cooked with pepper and fennel. Add in a can tomato soup and tri-color spiral noodles. Done.

Simple, tasty, cannot stop eating it 😅

If you uninstall the 'new and enshitified' Microsoft Notepad app, Microsoft has added a blocker in the registry to try and keep you from using the original, and still perfectly functional, notepad.exe in the Windows directory.

Remove the 'NoOpenWith' registry key from 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Applications\notepad.exe' and suddenly you can associate the original notepad with text files and such again.

Content warning:uspol

A small irony in politics, to me, is that democrat voters are the more traditional. They care about the issues and actions of their elected leaders and, oftentimes, are just as disappointed in elected leaders from their own party as they are in others. This is how politics traditionally works...or doesn't depending on your point of view. 😅

Now republicans are not even playing the same political game as democrats. Game being the operative word, republicans only see politics as a 'team' game where they win or they lose. It does not matter what their elected officials say or do, as long as they win, they get to see the losers (democrats) outrage and humiliation so they feel great as the winners. Here is the kicker, many of them even recognize their elected officials are scum, but in the "team game" mindset there is no alternative to back, why would they go to the team of losers who seem to hate even their own team?!

This is why you cannot convince uncle john with logical arguments, history, or even current events to change from their republican 'team.' You're fighting against a lifetime of 'go team' inertia then just feeding their victor's high with your sarcasm and outrage.

How do I interact with my republican family? I don't complain or express useless outrage, I've began to tailor the news to their situation. For the retired, when they talk about getting less funds I commiserate with the political decisions that caused it, for those worried about their future finances I describe the tariff prices that will impact us as family, etc. I begin to make the team our family bonds, breaking apart the simple two party system into what is best for family versus what is not. This is a game they understand and it has deprived them of their victory as we all lose together.

-sigh- I hate layoffs even when I know why they have to happen. We had to let 3 excellent people go today.

If anyone needs a driven pentester with a couple years of experience, a focused network pentester with a decade of experience, or a GLBA/CIS auditor please let me know and I can send them your way.

If you have questions about them or need a recommendation, DM me. I am more than happy to advocate for them and would hire them back in a heartbeat if I could.

Having played Starfield, Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowwind, Elden Ring, and all the Dark Souls games I've come to the realization the kind of first/third person action game I like is one where you can explore ruins and tunnels underground. Perhaps a good way to put it is first/third person action dungeon diving.

I enjoy the combat, finding items, and stealth but the real payoff, and what makes or breaks the score I give the game, is finding an amazing looking area. This is why Starfield rates the lowest due to repetitive boring undergrounds but Skyrim's amazing dungeons full of traps, puzzles, and amazing sights rates very high.

So if you happen to know a good game that fits the above please let me know...but please not some tactical grid based thing or turn based 😅
