Never Got a Dime Form YouTube

This is what it looks like when you literally never cared to make a penny off of YouTube EVER.

I have been "a verified partner" for years, but only to get the things that come along with that. I never thought to make money off of it.

I'm fine with people who do want to or need to make money off of YouTube, but for the trouble I would go threw to make less than $100 a year I would not bother with it. It's simply not worth babysitting my stats to make sure it's all going well.

Sure there are networks that will babysit for you but then you don't entirely own the content. As well they take a slice of the pie then instead of taking 13 months to get my $100 it would take 13 months to get $75 - screw that.

Beside it's the same mentality as with my art, I give most of it away to people. I in my entire life have mad about $350 off of art. This is over a span of more than 20 years. $150 of that was at one time LOL. See where I am going?

I do the vlogs because I like to do the vlogs and I like to talk with people in the comments and I like to watch their videos and leave them a comment. It's not about anything else at all.

But yes, if you want to partner up with a network and fight all the times YT tries to take money away from you, then go for it. If you want to not partner with one then good luck making a dime in the current situation...

Windows 10 Recycling Bin Troubles

Nice to see the latest greatest version of Windows 10 has a rather massive bug in it. I had to do a HARD RESET on the system to be able to empty the recycling bin. It literally hung up and never gave me the yes or no dialog. So being that that was hung up, restart won't work or powering down won't work as there is a service NOT responding - so had to hit the power and then turn the system back on then empty the bin.

I really hope they fix this shit. The last big update fucked up the bin as well, but it would come up with the dialog after 30 or 40 seconds - I gave the fucker 10 minutes and still was hung up. I HAVE tried deleting the recycling bin folder like the tell you to do - it did not work last time or this time. It still does it...

BTW 3 big updates later the USB mic is still LOW AUDIO. They tell you shit like "update the drivers" - so 3 different devices and you think it's the drivers? Not to mention a LOT of us tried that and it did nothing or in my case told me I had the latest drivers. No... I kind of think it's Windows 10 as it works on my friends Windows 7 system.

Ya know the worst part of this recycling bin thing is some days it will work 1 time then hang up on empty #2 and other times it will give you no problems at all. There is also no commonality on what I had run before it happens (apps). So this makes no sense.

Oh yeas, I almost forgot - one forum post said "it might be a virus" - well after a wipe of the HD last time and a fresh install with NONE of my files on the drive yet, it still hung for for like 30 seconds before it gave the dialog - soooo...

And 4 Meals

Had this idea to try the Co-op Hot Sauce for cooking. It is kind of thin but now and then you get away with it - depends on the brand.

As you see the sauce (same chicken) did not stick to it at all. It's like I never put any one. But had to try. So I mixed some in the BBQ sauce.

Baked beans with brow curry.

Chick peas with the same brown curry and No sauce. It was not so good, but oh well...

Chicken and veggies with roasted garlic BBQ sauce and a tone of hot sauce. I went light on the BBQ sauce and should have put some more on, as the HOT overpowered the garlic.
