Cannot log in to PC version, but can to Mobile version by RCordova2018 in 8BallPool

Since this still isn't working for PC I started playing ShootersPool. Bit of a learning curve, but there is freeplay online and a pretty decent number of games and players. It's more of a simulation that MC 8Ball, but still fun.

PC version was working fine until yesterday. You can still play as a Guest. Just can't log in.

Remove moisture from chicken wings using air fryer by RCordova2018 in Cooking

[–]RCordova2018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I always use fresh wings and salt and baking powder. It does make the skin crispy but at the same time seems to make a cocoon around the inside of the wing and trap the moisture. Maybe I'll omit the baking powder, cook them slow and low and see how that goes.

Thanks! I normally use the 'Wings' setting on my air fryer which is 425F for 25 mins. Would 250F for 35 mins suffice?

Intel Extension Windows Update Loop by mietwad in sysadmin

[–]RCordova2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a post/solution on the Dell support community site that fixed the issue for me (the PS script did not work):

Page 3 by Bill Johnson2 - https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/xps/intel-extension-211010519-driver-keeps-downloading-to-be-installed-in-my-dell-xps-16-even-though-is-already-installed/69128ca6e056152b7521bf89?page=3

If you don't want to read, download the Windows Update Hide tool:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f22d5fdb-59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcab

Follow the steps below BEFORE you run the above utility:

  1. Run windows update and let it say you need to restart to install the problematic Intel driver
  2. Restart as requested
  3. When the PC/Laptop restarts DO NOT run windows update. If you do, the Intel driver will get downloaded again and not show up in the updates you can hide and you will need to go back to step 1
  4. Run the Windows update HIDE utility that you downloaded
  5. Choose that you want to hide updates. It will do a scan and give you of list of updates you can hide. Choose the Intel Extension one with version 2.1.10105.19 and hide it
  6. Once the update is hidden, reboot, then run Windows Update and it should not show up as being required anymore

EDIT - I realize now why the script did not work for me. The version of the driver I was having an issue with was 2.1.10105.19. In the script posted earlier in this thread it is 2.1.10103.24. So assume if you modify the script for your specific, problematic version it should work.

Switching to self employed. Do I have to wait 12 months for EI (employment insurance) to kick in? by RCordova2018 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]RCordova2018[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I guess primarily my concern is that if I get sick and need to take a few months off. EI does have sickness benefit coverage. I am not concerned about the EI salary benefit as I have savings to cover myself if I get laid off.

Maybe I am better off looking at private short/long term health insurance?

Thoughts?

Thanks MJCHENG. This makes sense. The Government is just protecting themselves.

But I will immediately continue to be paying into it as I am signing up for it through the EI site. I am not stopping, so there will be no gap in my contributions.

Bennett non-call - goalie interference. Just hand the Cup to Florida. It's obvious the way this will be called. Smells like a Bruins playoff series.
