I started with borrowing my mother’s lawnmower, that’s it. But the first afternoon I had enough to buy a weed eater. Couldn’t even afford a pager, had to call my mom and check on customer calls.
Crud. Forgot where I’m at. Yes, success is nothing but luck 99.9994% of us will never have.
I’d suggest figuring out the Windows casting issue. My TV is hardwired to the network, so maybe that helps.
Here’s a script for a mode switcher. Works great using psexe to wrap it in an executable.
Do {
CLS
$Mode = Read-Host "`r`n(W)ork, (P)lay, (M)ovie?"
} until ( 'w', 'p', 'm' -contains $Mode)
if ($Mode -eq "w"){
# Work Mode
displayswitch.exe /extend
# Display taskbar and restart Explorer
$p='HKCU:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3';$v=(Get-ItemProperty -Path $p).Settings;$v[8]=2;&Set-ItemProperty -Path $p -Name Settings -Value $v;&Stop-Process -f -ProcessName explorer
}
if ($Mode -eq "p"){
# Play Mode
displayswitch.exe /external
# Display taskbar and restart Explorer
$p='HKCU:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3';$v=(Get-ItemProperty -Path $p).Settings;$v[8]=2;&Set-ItemProperty -Path $p -Name Settings -Value $v;&Stop-Process -f -ProcessName explorer
}
if ($Mode -eq "m"){
# Movie Mode
displayswitch.exe /internal
#Hide taskbar and restart Explorer
$p='HKCU:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3';$v=(Get-ItemProperty -Path $p).Settings;$v[8]=3;&Set-ItemProperty -Path $p -Name Settings -Value $v;&Stop-Process -f -ProcessName explorer
}
You’ll like this OP! There’s a monster flock of these guys at the swamp down the road. This video doesn’t do justice as maybe 60-70% took flight as I got closer. LOL, smelled like a hen house under those trees!

They’re easily startled but always wheel around and come back to the same spot. It’s like watching WWII videos where an insane number of bombers are rolling.
Y’all are fat as fuck. Period. But I think I know why… bear with me.
I’ve spent decades watching Americans get fatter and fatter and fatter. I’ve seen people tonight that were unthinkable in the 70s and 80s. From talking to friends and neighbors over the years I’ve gathered this, “Yeah. I’m/he/she/ is a little pudgy, but at least I’m not as fat as him/her!”
You see people worse off than you and breathe a sigh of relief. Well… I look at gravestones and think, “At least I’m not that bad off!”
Keep telling my how bad your joints hurt when you hit 30.
Been saying that about the internet for 30 years. It’s a damned miracle it works at all and people whine and cry about every little hitch.
Capitalism sucks!
continues purchasing crap
See! I told you!
This is what you get when humans try to work beyond our monkeysphere. It’s not “capitalism” or “greed” or any other such childish ideas. Groups that large cannot be efficient.

The article is so old the formatting is all jacked, but you can get the jist of it easily enough.
LOL, those last three sentences wrap up lemmy’s capitalism hate perfectly.
“We keep spending money on bullshit and kept getting fed worse bullshit!”
“Have you considered not spending money on bullshit?”
“We HAVE to!!!”
Fair question! I’m guessing he views such women as sluts and beneath him.
Breakfast Club. I was part nerd, part rebel. Funny how I read comments about how unrealistic the characters are. Guys, that is exactly how it was in the 80s.
Something wrong with inspiring stories?
The chances of that happening to the average person
Pure lemmy right there. Hard work is useless and derided. Only chance determines success. What a miserable way to navigate life. Is there a word for “economic incel”?
Figured this out some time back. Firing a manager is an admission of failure by someone even higher.
I’d argue the Boomers are a fair cut above Gen Z. We Gen X folk are the greatest!
Seriously though, we straddled the digital divide. We went from nothing to having to figure it all out. All when we were young and able to learn quickly. FFS, we couldn’t play a simple video game without understanding drives, IRQs, CLI, all that.

The ice cream truck song!
(I’m kidding, don’t kill me.)
We had the coin op at the local movie theater. Didn’t play much as a quarter was real money and I lost so quickly.
Anyone remember the vector graphics Star Wars game? Man, if I could have any vintage game in my house…

I CANNOT kill this off my Spotify country list.
Them’s fightin’ words!
Yeah, 9-months is getting out there.
It may well be growing faster as you age. Mine certainly did.
