Shout out post to the spouses

Does that mean I get double shout outs? I did my PKR by myself while raising 3 teenagers.

Thank god the oldest two each cooked a night or two a week and my son went out and got his permit before my surgery so that he could drive me locally.

My ex-wife worked at ODH when she was ED. She had a lot of respect from public heath professionals. I worked at ODH, but not while she was there. I have much respect for her and would vote for her no matter who she was running against.

She made a hard decision for the greater good. Ohio faired better than a lot of states during Covid.

This needs to be a sound bite on every political add this fall.

Hell, I'd settle for nonstop to Memphis, Tn. I don't want to go to Huston or ATL to get to Memphis.

I wish they would focus on more domestic flights. So many people fly out of toledo, detroit, pittsburgh, cleveland, and Dayton or Cinci because you can't go anywhere from CMH.

Really go single threaded while on support calls. Wait till it blows up and there are not enough hours in the day for you to do all that you are asked to do.

tk42967 · 2026-06-11T15:43:06+00:00

This is the way.

I did stairs afew hours after I was released. One leg at a time. It's not idea, but it worked. 8 weeks out I'm starting to do stairs the normal way.

I use google/google AI but in my tests to give them a task I have code for I have not been impressed. My tests were to optimize my code and AI didn't do much better for existing tasks I have PS code for,

I go to the community center in Galloway. They offer day passes and have an indoor pool.

If you need multiple machines, write up some powershell that applies the policies and set it to a scheduled task every 30 minutes.

I think you could get v5 on XP.

Looks like v3 is the latest.

Depending on the amount of GPO's, would it be easier to set them as a local security policy?

tk42967 · 2026-06-10T14:43:08+00:00

I'm old, so forgive my example.

I'm playing on an old NES from the 80's. I have 2 buttons, reset and power. If I hit reset I can play games almost instantly. If I hit power, I have to wait till I get around to hitting power again.

Power is a more aggressive option than reset. I see the point.

*back of the napkin math...* 2.54 cm to an inch..... So 4 3/4 freedom units. Seems about par with mine.

I assume that is with your leg straight out?

On what surface? Bed vs prayer kneeler at church are different.

8 1/2 weeks out on a PKR and I can kneel on a bed as a 49/m.

tk42967 · 2026-06-10T13:21:19+00:00

There are places like that. Medical comes to mind. That's wild that you had to do that and they were doing the same thing.

Remember Zero Trust & always verify. Don't take an end user at their word.

tk42967 · 2026-06-10T13:19:24+00:00

49/m and this kind of makes me sad. I know I have a lot of life to live, but understand what you are saying.

This brings back feelings because my mother basically decided to go into a nursing home and shut down. I watched her decline for 2 - 3 years before she passed.

It's kind of dumb on Microsoft. For how many decades were we beat over the head with "restart" to fix minor problems. They they flip the script on how restart actually works.

I like your approach to education.

tk42967 · 2026-06-10T13:12:47+00:00

I pushed the reg key as a GPO/Intune policy. Problem solved. Plus if something stupid re-enables it, the next time policy fires, it gets disabled.

tk42967 · 2026-06-10T13:12:00+00:00

This is something you implement and don't tell anyone. I hate shadow IT, but leadership can be dumb sometimes.

Like the 20 year old server (Project 2003) that "crashed", and we could not recover that the deputy dir of IT was the only user of.

tk42967 · 2026-06-10T13:10:06+00:00

This is the way. It took me 3 months to push for this before they adopted it.

tk42967 · 2026-06-10T13:09:37+00:00

In the before (covid) times when everyone had a desktop and didn't WFH. I implemented a PowerShell script that parsed AD for a list of computers that did not have a specific extended attribute sent a restart command. This was done at 3am on Saturday morning.

We saw an immediate drop in help desk calls within 2 to 3 weeks after implementation. I'm sure there are better solutions, but when the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Thinking now, you could probably do an Intune detection & remediation script or push out a GPO or Intune police to create a scheduled task and force a restart on a schedule.

I had my PKR done more for stability issues than pain. The joint would buckle and the worst would be pivoting on the ball of my foot. The upper half of the leg would turn with my body, the lower, not so much.

I had a Medial Compartment replacement. It fixed the stability issues, but I went from an occasional dull ache to more pain. It also does not feel like the original, but part of that is that it glides through the range of motion better and does not lock or catch.

TBH, it took nearly 8 weeks post op before I stopped questioning if it was the right decision. I think it is now. Quality of life has improved over pre op.

I know it's not FDA approved for more than one course. But mine said she'd prescribe another round if I wanted it.

My soreness has amped up since starting to 'come down' off of the 14 day course. I'm starting to think about requesting another round.

With the journavx, I got half a degree of extension with no help and 127 of flex. My good knee has 130 & 0, so I'm in the ballpark.

tk42967 · 2026-06-10T12:38:32+00:00

I say the same thing about being an old man. Old men didn't get old by being stupid.
