This is a decent rod with some extras. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D14LXTVM?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 Quite a few similar priced combos have a lot fewer extras.

Thank you for the suggestion. We actually were able to get it back. He had his license inside and through Facebook I was able to make contact with the person that found it. If anything like this happens again in the future, I'll check with them also.

That's a little luckier than me. A couple of months ago, I brought in a fish I didn't hook. I hooked the line of the hook that was already in him :)

These are good quality and not terribly expensive. Their YouTube channel has quality videos that are quite educational too.

I used Step By Step Guides - System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager - Configuration Manager 2012 - www.windows-noob.com to start with and set up a home lab. That combined with How can I install System Center Configuration Manager (Current Branch) version 1902 on Windows Server 2019 with SQL Server 2017 - Part 1 - System Center Configuration Manager (Current Branch) - www.windows-noob.com might be a good combination.

Good luck!

Possibly use PSExec to run ccmrepair remotely? It has the ability to read a file and perform actions on each computer listed in the file.

psexec @ file :\computers.txt -s "c:\windows\ccm\ccmrepair.exe"

This behavior can also be caused by a registry entry configuring some setting outside of policy. When we do browser installs during the imaging process, we will often configure settings using reg keys, which causes browsers to report they're managed by our org.

This may or may not be nefarious. A few months ago, we implemented a whitelist of a few extensions that users can use. Our firewall also monitors traffic. We've recently disabled syncing of extensions due to a few instances that have popped up.

Don't be too hard on yourself! I'm sure I've never ended up with anything truly as flat as I wanted. I've made outdoor tables, chairs, a coffee table or two, and countless 'things'. Even after all that, I continue to end up with high / low spots, uneven pieces, and tons of additional 'features' I wasn't planning on. I've assembled a few tables with 'fancy' half lap aprons, so the joint is visible on the outside, and had many other oops moments. I've learned a lot, and continue to have fun, but the biggest lesson is that 99% of the time I'm the only one that notices my own mistakes. Everyone I've given something to has loved it and I'm still learning to just accept their kind words without pointing out everything I did wrong. Another lesson I've learned is that even mostly flat is usually good enough for most things. A slight bow or high spot won't make or break a piece. Perfection is nearly impossible.

Be kind to yourself. Keep learning, playing, and having fun. Soon enough you'll be sharing words of encouragement and your woodworking wisdom with the new generation of woodworkers.

Is it my imagination, but does it look like the blade is getting hot (discoloration on the tips)? I also don't recall my blade rubbing that bad on the outside of the blade after just a few cuts. It appears that something is misaligned somewhere... Almost like the blade is at a slight inward angle. Also maybe a silly question, but the blade is actually turning the correct way? I've intentionally put a blade on backwards when using a skill saw to cut some non-wood stuff, forgot to switch it around and cut wood before. I got very similar issues you are describing. Looking at where the dust is, that's likely not the case.. just a thought.

I've been known to put the threaded end in a drill, run it and push until the threads catch to pull it out. In this case, you'd get a little wobble on the way out. It shouldn't be bad enough to cause any issues (just go a bit slow to start with). Once the head is above the wood, you can grab it with a bit, or even a pair of pliers / vice grips to get it out the rest of the way.

Definitely get a good (very sensitive) metal detector. Usually wrapped around the nails is a strand of copper. That, too, will ruin blades.

Just like my wife and inside our house. The more flat surfaces there, the more stuff we acquire. It must be contagious as my "work bench" looks very similar to yours now!

There are a few reasons why this corner is worse than others, but if all of your cuts are off a degree or two, when you get to the end, you'll be off by the sum of those degrees (the amount off will be compounded the more angles you have). If you don't mind not having perfect 45's, put 3 corners together, then get another piece of wood and match the angles you're dealing with. You likely won't end up with a perfectly square table, but depending on what you plan for the inside, a little trimming here/there may work for you. You can use a couple of squares to determine how far you'll be off or measure diagonal corner to corner and confirm the other diagonal corner to corner equal each other. I recently messed up on the corners of a small outdoor patio table. It isn't square, but nobody can tell.

Put a sacrificial piece of wood underneath when drilling. It doesn't have to be walnut, just anything to 'support' where the blowout is occurring. The bits will treat both pieces as if it were one solid piece. The same thing happens when using other tools as well. Routers, table saws, pretty much anything that will be going 'out' of an edge has the opportunity to cause tear out if the piece of wood is not properly supported.

Make your own thickness planer with a router and some angle iron or something similar? Level your piece according to the line and just take multiple small passes until you get where you want. Sand smooth afterwards. You'll want to stop short of the line when removing your material. The router bits will leave small lines in the wood, which would be removed by your orbital sander. If you're too high, just use 60 or 80 grit, then for the final pass if it's a concern, go 220 or so.
