This is the best answer I've seen in this whole thread. You're right that the key is not needed. Microsoft identified your system components and did the original activation based on the hardware you've got on your computer. All you need to do to bring back a licensed copy of Windows is to reinstall it.

He didn't post a $5M Bond. He put up cash. Makes you wonder if the companies that provide bonds may consider him to risky to bond.

Probably not that deep. I've heard there are definitely discounts. That doesn't count for much though when it still increases your cost 6x.

At first I thought this might be a hilarious dig on Canada since they haven't won the cup since 1993... not sure if you're serious.

This honestly sounds like the best solution to this particular problem.

Based on my experience, this honestly sounds like a VA policy. I'm on Bupropion through the VA (for possibly similar reasons as you'd want Vyvanse) and they are particularly stingy about it, only giving me a 30 day supply at a time.

Even with a different provider at the VA, you may get the same result.

Yes they will get paid eventually. They put that into law after 2019. If you are furloughed, you cannot use leave. Even if you are emergency essential and still working during the shutdown, I don't believe that you can be paid for leave (but you can still take it if it was scheduled before the shutdown).

Just make sure it's RFC 2324 compliant. You don't want it throwing any HTTP 418 error messages.

If you're having power on issues, I would make sure you are using a standalone power brick. I've used a Surface Pro for work and I've found that sometimes when connected to the docking station, it wouldn't power on. When connected to a standalone power brick it usually would. For a standalone power brick, I've used both the one that came with the Surface and also a 65W USB-C adapter with a USB-C to Surface per cable.
