@RestoronixSean that's what Liesl did to you, she ran in and pocketed as many of your tater tots as she could and ran away.
Haha, that gif is EXACTLY what happened.

I'm officially addicted to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. I haven't had this much fun playing a multiplayer online with friends in a LONG time.

@NerdyDad You're going to attempt to run the Plex app through your Smart TV or you're going to have a device running it that is connected to your TV?
Plex App on smart TV. Trying to cut out as many dependencies as I can as I am wanting the family to utilize this more. I have to try to keep it as easy as possible for them to use if I am wanting them to use it.
Is this a Roku TV?
Nope, its an LG. They have their own store, which is mediocre, but does have a PLEX app for the TV. I'm willing to try it out before i go for another device taking up another HDMI port.
In my experience, every smart TV I've ever seen runs like hot garbage. I would seriously recommend buying a Roku 3. I not only have a Plex server but I also have a Visio Smart TV and still opted to get the Roku. Never looked back.
+1 for the Roku. I absolutely love that thing. It works so much better than any of my Smart TVs.
This might be one of the coolest keycaps I've seen.

We just got @RestoronixSean set up with Korora 25 Cinnamon on an MSI Apache gaming laptop.
So far so good! This might end up going on my desktop soon as well.

Real person #1 checking in. So glad to be here with the Restoronix team! My name is Sean, and I'm based out of Dallas, TX. I'm excited to meet some of you next week at the Dallas Mango Meetup. Come drop in and say hello!
This is a really unorthodox suggestion, but you could have your friend check some pawn shops if you think they're knowledgeable enough to not get burned. They'll have to wade through plenty of trash, but I know several people that have ended up with some great deals by going this route. Just make sure to thoroughly inspect, test, and ask about the return policy. I actually picked up an HP ProBook 4730s in like new condition a few years back for $150, and aside from recently having to replace the fan, it's still going strong. They actually had it on the shelf for $300, but shops know electronics lose value quickly, and cash is king. (refurbs of that model were going for about $900 at the time)
Good luck, and happy hunting!

There are a few places around Dallas where we can find you some chapulines if you're having a craving @scottalanmiller.

@RestoronixSean said
A good salesperson has a duty to ask the right questions and fully understand the needs of their prospects. If they don’t align properly with your needs, then it should be no surprise that they didn’t close the sale.
Right, and by selling them only what they need.
As a buyer, it’s important to note that meeting needs is only an obligation of sales if it encourages sales. If more sales are made by selling what the customer does not need, salespeople are obligated to let the customer buy.
How would this come up unless the sales person in unethically telling the client they need more than they really do?
I've actually had the discussion with salespeople in the past that their best customers have been other salespeople who understand the relationship, and the importance of clearly articulating their needs. They tend to get straight down to business. It simply saves time when the needs have been clearly defined. I’m not implying that one should try and intentionally screw someone over but ultimately it is up to the buyer to draw the line. If at the end of the transaction you feel a salesperson has overstepped or is pushing far past the needs without integrity then you might want to consider taking your business elsewhere. Salespeople should definitely be mindful, and customer centric, but you can’t put the buyers responsibility on them.
@Reid-Cooper Thank you! I've been lurking for a little while and this seems like such a tight-knit and helpful community. I'm glad to be here.
@RojoLoco said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:
@RestoronixSean if you like smoked ghost peppers, you gotta try this sauce: http://adoboloco.com/shop/hamajang/
I really do... I put that Trader Joe's dried smoked ghost pepper on everything. I even have a few ghost pepper plants growing in my backyard. The reviews on the sauce were so positive that I ended up placing an order so I'll report back once it gets here! Thanks for the recommendation.
Taking a quick water break before getting back to mowing, edging, and trimming. Man, it's hot out here in Texas today... Second ride on my new mower! She sure beats the ol' push mower.
Currently installing Dying Light to co-op with some friends after dinner. It's been sitting in my steam library for far too long.
Unfortunately, unless you can get the phone unlocked I'm fairly certain that the screen will need to be replaced if you want to get anything off of the phone.
Unless those files are really important it's probably not worth the effort, but I have heard of repair shops putting on screens temporarily to retrieve data for a small fee. Might be worth a shot?
