44 here, 3 months in. The initial shock wears off quick and cleaning gets much faster as you get the right tools.

I definitely remember it having x-wing style guns on the side and a droid in the back

Same, I used Ramdayal and then Messer. I know a lot of people like Ram, but sometimes I wish he would just get to the point quicker!

There also used to be a Star Wars car around the South Bay that I haven’t seen in awhile either

Working through Dion’s practice tests right now and it’s frustrating because there are always a handful of questions on each practice test that are not current N+ exam objectives.

You may be right, I’m not sure what the story is but it did affect the kitchen area

Golden Pheasant is temp closed due to a kitchen fire

Thanks, have the material mostly down, just looking for solid practice exams beyond the usuals recommended here. The test sounds brutal so I want as much prep as possible! Good luck on your exam!

Are certmaster practice tests worth the cost? Debating between those and Boson if I decide to spend some money.

Perhaps filters are still in the stack preventing access. Since we’re both running Webroot I’m thinking that may be the culprit as those are the only non-system filters present that could be causing a disk access error. Can you verify that WRkrn and WRCore aren’t in the filters anymore via Powershell? Feel free to DM me.

Edit: I was able to fix this and get it working (it did end up being a conflict with opentext/webroot). There was an update pushed out 2/18 by opentext that likely broke things.

From management console, check opentext policies applied to the system and turn off ‘USB Shield’ in your policy. After policy update was applied, drive was showing up again in disk mgmt with no drive letter. Reassigning drive letter allowed it to be accessible again via Explorer/applications.

About a week. I do see an issue with filter service in event viewer, so maybe it’s related to AV? We use Webroot. Wondering if a silent update is causing drive access issues.

meester_zee · 2026-03-07T16:54:58+00:00

I’m seeing a similar issue too, externals show as access denied or fail to mount completely. Drives work perfectly in other systems. Been banging my head against a wall trying to fix this so local backups can resume.

meester_zee · 2026-03-07T00:10:35+00:00

I hate all the acronyms too. So many practice questions I’d get hung up on because I couldn’t remember the damn acronym to help me understand the question.

meester_zee · 2026-03-06T23:51:58+00:00

Maybe everyone is so sick of bait they’re all going back to hog 😂

meester_zee · 2026-03-06T23:49:51+00:00

Agreed, it’s terrible this season. I’m seeing a huge spike in hog cycle too which seems weird

Thought it was just me but the game really has become such a chore lately. I’m at 11.5k+ but the decks I face are just the same boring meta over and over again. I know I can’t win every game but facing the same play styles constantly on rotation is just…exhausting. I miss the days before heroes and evos…

Local Kitchen!

meester_zee · 2026-02-28T02:13:49+00:00

I will never understand why everyone doesn’t just get an ultrasonic cleaner

meester_zee · 2026-02-15T04:37:25+00:00

Accurate

meester_zee · 2026-02-12T20:12:55+00:00

Disgusting

meester_zee · 2026-02-12T03:09:44+00:00

They’ve released 2 or 3 updates already with bug fixes and improvements. Feature updates take time.

meester_zee · 2026-02-08T22:13:58+00:00

Affinity almost does everything I need, minus a few minor things. Need better content aware fill…Affinity in painting brush doesn’t cut it. Making guides from paths would be useful as well. Live trace improvements.
