You can definitely load Windows 11 without secure boot without any issues at all. You just have to enable removing secure boot with a program like rufus for your install.



Here's a great site. You'll need a fresh thumbdrive. But just load the loader that they link in there and it has worked with no data loss for me on multiple computers.

China has called the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz a “dangerous and irresponsible act” that will further enflame tensions in the region.



This week I have really convinced myself that Trump is making some kind of play to force China to make some kind of move to pressure the Iranians. But I just can't figure out what it would be.
Since Will Wade has just returned to LSU (as of March 26, 2026) to replace Matt McMahon, he is currently in the middle of a high-speed roster overhaul. To have his full team put together for the 2026-27 season, he must navigate two primary NCAA deadlines:

1. The Transfer Portal Window (Closing Early May)

Because LSU's roster is currently in flux—with reports that as many as eight players have entered the portal—Wade's most immediate "deadline" is the portal entry window.

Entry Deadline: Players typically have a 45-day window starting the Monday after Selection Sunday to enter the portal. For 2026, this window generally closes in early May.

Signing Strategy: While players must enter by May to be eligible for next season, they can sign with LSU anytime after entering. Wade is expected to be extremely active here, with a reported roster budget of roughly $13 to $20 million to attract talent.

2. The Regular Signing Period (Ends August 1, 2026)

For high school recruits and incoming freshmen, the NCAA Regular Signing Period is the official window for scholarship papers:

Start Date: April 15, 2026.

End Date: August 1, 2026.

Significance: This is the final date for a student-athlete to sign a National Letter of Intent (NLI) for the 2026-27 academic year. By this date, Wade’s scholarship slots for the upcoming season must be finalized.

Current Roster Status

As of mid-April 2026, the team is being rebuilt from the ground up:

The "Last Tiger": Jalen Reece is currently the only remaining scholarship player from the previous regime not in the portal.

Staff Additions: Wade has already begun solidifying his bench, recently hiring former LSU head coach Johnny Jones and Rick Stansbury to his coaching staff.

Bottom Line: While Wade will likely have the "core" of his team identified by the end of the portal window in May, he has until August 1 to officially lock in every scholarship spot.

Really weird reporting. I didn't see anything at all that was new that hasn't been known and around for a decade.

So there is a park across the river where you can take badass pictures of the arch. Took my kids there around sundown. Turns out it is all run down and behind some sketchy casino now. Couldn't get out of there fast enough.

i have one govee light strip that unfortuantely fell off the wall. i guess i can try to install it somewhere but i lost most of the diffusers since they broke when they fell and i had cut them the correct size for this odd area so i'll have to see whats left.



This stuff is awesome. I had some under cabinet lighting that lost the stickiness that came with it. This stuff has lasted for years since.
