Congratulations on figuring out how re-enable Make Things as Easy as Possible for the Methhead who Stole my PC to Pay for His Next Hit by Pawning my PC.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Rather more secure than anybody in the whole world being able to start your PC because it didn't have a password at all I would have thought? And as someone else has said MS don't know your password at all just as your bank doesn't know your PIN ... on which subject you also have the option of signing in with a PIN which is equally unknown to MS! I'm afraid you're getting my Tinfoil Hat of the Day Award!

I had a similar thing happen to me. When I logged in to the MS Store, my account was switched from my local one, to my MS one. The next time I needed to unlock my screen, I didn't notice the change right away, and tried several times to use my local account password before I realized the account had been switched to the MS one. Fortunately, I use LastPass to manage my passwords, and was able to look it up one another device. After unlocking the screen, I switched back to my local account, and all was well again.
IMO, MS should never switch accounts, and at the very least warn you that they did.

And I probably won't feel so good tomorrow either...
But I added some shoulder and triceps exercises to my training routine and some weights to my regular exercises.
And that feels pretty damn good 
"Yeah man, I exercise pretty hard, lifting some serious weights. Gotta keep those arms in shape, I'm in IT you know..."

Don't tell me. My last trail race was really hard. You know, Klingon developers run like hell.

I remember I started going to gym twice in 4 months. Gave up! Not my life-style.

I'd never go to the gym.
Never say never, but I don't think anything is more closely to never than me going to the gym
I got some stuff at home.
And I'm still having trouble to motivate myself to lift those weights.
It's horrible, but at least I'm building some physique...

Sure you have stuff at home, but do you have hot women walking around in skin-tight lycra at home?

I'm lifting serious weights every day.
Gotta do something 'bout that belly!
|
|
|
|

Exactly! 
And a belly is really the only thing I have...
I've been 20 kg heavier than I am now.
Really, I weighed almost 80 kg and people told me how I was skinny and had no arms...
Until of course I took off my much too wide shirt and revealed my pregnant-looking stomach 
And now I weigh 60 kg and people still tell me how I am so skinny and have no arms...
Until of course I take off my shirt and reveal my pregnant-looking stomach

Lifting weights isn't the best way to reduce fat; if you're looking to get rid of your belly you're better doing cardio like rowing, cycling etc. Whilst lifting weights does burn energy, it's nowhere near as many calories per hour as cardio does. The main weight-loss benefits of lifting weight is that muscle burns calories even while at rest so your general metabolism is slightly increased.

I added some bacon to my morning routine* today and now I feel awesome!
*which already included a reasonable amount of bacon

Your joke is wasted on this vegetarian
I added some proteins to my breakfast though

No joke.
But you're a vegetarian who feels not so good, I'm full of bacon and feel awesome.
Enjoy those extra years won't you

OK, I get an Alert: "Verify your MS account".
OK, no problem.
Yes, yes, microsoft - send the code to my email.
Apparently, email addresses are case sensitive now, because my email "Paul....@....com" entered in "proper case" doesn't match the account email which starts with "pa..." OK. Try again, all in lower case this time.
Success! I get a code!
Enter code, it verifies, and then notice the account email on the message:
Microsoft account
Security code
Please use the following security code for the Microsoft account Pa*****@[REDACTED].com. Which is all in "proper case" just as I entered it the first time...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

That is only because MS saves your data on an Unix Filesystem. For every user they make a Directory...

I got invited to a party and was told to dress to kill.
Apparently a turban, beard and a backpack wasn't what they had in mind.
After a night of drink, drugs and wild sex, Jim woke up to find himself next to a really ugly woman.
That's when he realized he had made it home safely.
Seven wheelchair athletes have been banned from the Paralympics after they tested positive for WD40.
A teenager asks his granny, 'Have you seen my pills, they were labeled LSD?'
Granny replies, "f**k the pills, have you seen the dragons in the kitchen?"
Wife gets naked and asks hubby,
'What turns you on more, my pretty face or my sexy body?'
Hubby looks her up and down and replies, 'Your sense of humor!
The wife's back on the warpath again.
She was up for making a sex movie last night, all I did was suggest we should hold auditions for her part.
I've accidentally swallowed some Scrabble tiles. My next crap could spell disaster.
My sister-in-law sat on my glasses and broke them.
It was my own fault. I should have taken them off.
I spent a couple of hours defrosting the fridge last night, or "foreplay" as she likes to call it.
After both suffering from depression for a while, me and the wife were going to commit suicide yesterday.
But strangely enough, once she killed herself, I started to feel a lot better. So I thought, "Screw it, soldier on!"
I woke up this morning at 8, and could sense something was wrong.
I got downstairs and found the wife face down on the kitchen floor, not breathing! I panicked.
I didn't know what to do. Then I remembered McDonald's serves breakfast until 11:30.
Bought the missus a hamster skin coat last week.
Took her to the fair last night, and it took me 3 hours to get her off the Ferris wheel.
The other night, my wife asked me how many women I'd slept with.
I told her, "Only you. All the others kept me awake all night!"
My missus packed my bags, and as I walked out the front door, she screamed,
"I wish you a slow and painful death, you bastard!"
"Oh," I replied, "so now you want me to stay!"
A Catholic boy in confession says,
"Bless me Father, I have sinned, I masturbated while thinking about my sister."
"That's a disgrace," said the priest," especially when you have two gorgeous brothers."
I've just installed strobe lights in the bedroom.
It makes the wife look like she's moving during sex.
