That’s my job title.

Cold turkey worked for me. But it wasn’t this big thing. One day I didn’t want to go to the gas station to get more and that turned into, how long could I go? And now I smoke once a year on my friends birthday and HATE the taste.

It’s not a word but ‘…’ ok… thanks… I guess…

What do you want? Is it on our do you want something else? It’s fine…

Cmon…

I mean yes, but one of the issuess with “state of the art av” is they are trying to roll out updates faster than bad actors can push out code to exploit discovered vulnerabilities.

The code/config/software push may have worked on some test systems but MS is always changing things too.

It’s less bs than you think, still unlikely sure, but not a non zero chance.

For awhile their was a single point of failure in telcom for the midwest in the us. Because the core router was so old and didn’t play well with failover. It took them several months and a lot of intermittent issues to get it replaced and working as expected.

Unfortunately you saying that still has the same credibility as your first statement. It’s just your word. I don’t doubt they do on occasion but to say ALWAYS refer to themselves that way is a lot to take on word alone.

Very much this. I dislike M$ as much as the next guy but it isn’t always their fault. The biggest reason we have outdated SQL in my experience is older software that clients do not want to pay for an upgrade for that uses a sql backend that will break if we have the databases in compatibility mode.

Just like M$ with good reason (mostly) end of life’s an OS they need to no longer mainstream support older software versions.

I mean, my first thought was “i wonder if you could drive across that.” But I’m also smart enough to not be the first person to try… maybe the second though

In the response posts to the article someone said they got the icloud address via reset request which you can use in iMessage.

Not an i phone person so i can’t verify but thought id pass that along.

In my career i have gone from Systems Engineer to professional services to Profesional services team lead to Senior Systems administrator to now just Systems administrator. All doing basically the same IT stuff at progressively higher levels other than the team lead part.

When i was looking for my last job i applied for a remote admin job and experienced exactly what you described. I was on the third interview and was asked when i was going to move to the area and if i wanted a relocation allowance as part of the offer. Uhh what? To them a remote admin was an administrator that went to remote sites. What a waste of my time

I’m going to go out on a limb and say i don’t think they found the pyramid whole and moved the entire thing. I think they took small pieces, possibly block shaped and moved those one at a time

Call of Duty updates

Military members of either side have the option to not shoot the human shields. Yes, maybe it will require a surgical strike via spec ops instead of a javelin missle. Maybe you can’t blow up that military target due to it being in a hospital. Sure militarily that is a less than ideal outcome but then you would not be on the global stage needing to defend your warcrimes.

Just a thought

This is what got me. 1. I couldn’t believe he would come out and say it. 2. When i watch the clip he was saying “Just ask Earth”

What do you mean ask earth? Is it a dumb way of saying “the history books will tell the tale” or “the people will know what happened”. Just ask earth… i thought he was advocating about global warming or some shit

I’m the same, i like the way my truck looks. Is it great these days? Nope it’s an old 08 with a little rust, ok a lot but hush, i love it anyway. Do i need a truck 97% of the time? Nope but that 3% of the time i do its amazing. And those people i pull out of random ditches in the winter will appreciate it I’m sure.

Is the article that your link refrences. Yeah, i mean i agree with it those are not great mold/broken pipes. But it wasn’t meant to be a 5 star resort either. I spent 2 years stationed at Marine Corps Base Hawaii in a barracks that couldn’t be torn down because it was a historical monument because it had bullet holes from ww2. Shit sucked. None of the barracks i lived in had security cameras back in 2010. We had a couple guys in duty that roamed the area. We didn’t have heaters because we were stained in a area that didn’t need them. I don’t know what the current standards are.

My proof is 5 years of service in the military spending every Thursday cleaning for 4-5 hours for field day inspection where the higher ups go through the barracks on Friday to make sure they are clean.

Hmm, what do you mean by this? And any proof/citations? When i was in the Baracks were old but immaculate.

I’m not an engineer, or have any real qualifications on the subject. But I’m guessing you would want to cut all transmissions you can from a stealth jet.
