When someone previously told a vrtx vm not to auto boot after power up and none of the remote access is working either… Both undocumented as well, of course. And your tired AF tech is statically configuring the wrong IP range on their laptop to manu because it’s been a long shutdown day and are also unfamiliar with the system in general (me). Good times, I figured it out though, but lots of sweating and swearing.

I’m not, I’m also imagining an alternate timeline where their last name was Holder instead of Held

Better question, do you want the least educated among us teaching what’s not currently in taught in school? Cause that’s what you’re advocating.

Now it’s obviously not all parents, but the point still stands. The better educated parents are already doing something to teach their kids what’s not in the curriculum, but even amongst them it’s still a small percentage.

Including things like basic taxation and financial education, the voting system, stuff like that. Make it mandatory to go through, if not actually have a passing grade.

Pretty much when I bought my house it’s been mostly grown-up feeling since then. Interest rates, insurance rates, and debt-service ratios are always in the back of my mind now.

Once I pay off my vehicle debt I’ll be able to bankroll a better house outside of town with some land. Assuming shit doesn’t go pear shaped in the next 3-4 years…

Also, playing the “should I dump my bonuses into my RRSP or pay down debt” game… never had medium or longer term goals before.

Has anyone mentioned the toes?

Started a new job, but 4 days before my wife got flown to our area’s leading hospital due to complications with the pregnancy. So day 4 rolls around and I’m literally ~5000ft underground, no cell signal, get back to surface and check phone ASAP. 4th child,1st daughter, born 3 months premature hours earlier. First chance I got I drove the 8 hours to see them and within minutes of arriving it was skin on skin with this smolly. She was heckin early but healthy. Every opportunity I got, I’d drive down for snugs. It was around her OG expected due date before we could bring her home. Almost 2 years later and we’re besties.

Mine goes: zoom in, zoom in more, zoom out, zoom in, zoom in more, zoom out, zoom in, zoom in more, zoom out, zoom in, zoom in more, zoom out, zoom in, zoom in more, zoom out, zoom in, zoom in more, zoom out, zoom in, zoom in more, zoom out, zoom in, zoom in more, zoom out.

Chances of raw dogging definitely increase after the introduction of the whiskey

“What do you see when it’s coming back up?”

“Right back to the problem I’m having!”

“So you don’t see [insert OEM logo here]?”

“Nope. And it’s still frozen!”

“Where’s the power button you’re holding down?”

“On the monitor!”

Open the window and throw it out, please

As someone living around the Timmins area, we’ve imported some hot climate individuals and still have room, send them up! The Northlander should be running by then /fingers crossed/

I use VBox to run my PiHole for now and have used it to play with a couple distros side by side. I also have a sup’d up tower built from spare parts from work, so resources aren’t a constraint.

We’re in a tight spot, our service desk is outsourced while escalations or issues requiring hands on are sent to us. Problem is our service desk is a dumpster fire. I have regular meetings with their leadership to address this but it literally makes no difference. I recently caught that one of their agents we told them to remove from our contract was back and just as shitty and work avoiding.

We’re in the midst of replacing them with an internal regional team, but regional moves glacially slow. So we’re in a “please use the service desk” and “fuck just email/teams me the details and I’ll handle it when I have time” kinda situation. I’d love everything to go through tickets but I also know there’s a 50/50 chance that service desk will fuck it up by camping on the ticket, sending it to our sister site who also uses them, or completely not understanding the situation and cocking up the ticket notes before escalating or closing the ticket…

Recently they took a user complaint of a singular device being offline and noted it as “entire site is without network”, giving it a priority 1 status and escalating to our on-call line.

Sometimes they also take an actual P1 issue and dump into our queue without calling our hunt group or on-call number during business hours. We’re project heavy so we don’t hawk the ticket queue and it often leads us to missing the SLA of 30 minutes to assign the ticket to a tech.

Dumpster. Fire.

I dunno, I don’t like unnecessarily interacting with strangers. I’m gonna go sit in another room and tinker with something else for now.

Haven’t heard of the proverbial cheeseburger… gonna stare at this phrase for a bit.

And?

It puts the homemade chilimac into the waffle iron

Add a little liquid soap for nonporous surfaces like counters and stove tops, great grease and stuck-on fighter especially if combined with a scrubber. Damp cloth to wipe up after and you’re shiny.

I preemptively apologized for this a few weeks ago, but didn’t call it being the West’s fault. As stated before though, the states around and further south of Ontario and Quebec should brace themselves. It was a warm winter with nowhere near the proper amount of snow, so I expect a dry AF summer for us.

Not even bothering to get a fire permit this year, didn’t get to use it last year.
