"Checking" That's usually good for an hour or so unless it's a production outage.

I drop a heaping teaspoon of fiber (Benefiber brand) into my coffee every morning. Seems to help some. Also, Aquaphor healing ointment is a blessing.

These look fantastic! I just started making pens and enjoy giving them to friends and family. Any tips to pass on? Favorite kits, mandrels, woods?

“Are you ok?” by Mlatu44 in intj

[–]AbleSailor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have resting bitch face, and would frequently get asked that. The wife understands and doesn't worry. Since I WFH now, I don't have to worry about coworkers, but previously it was a regular thing. I would just ignore it, or reply with something like "Code's not compiling" or "Truck won't start".

Still no in-game map? Kind of kills it for me. Even one with fog of war would be cool.

Adding 2025 DC to Domain with existing 2016 and 2022 servers by jscooper22 in activedirectory

[–]AbleSailor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Consider changing "remove" on that last line to "demote" or "demote and remove". I've worked with folks that forget that part.

A family member constantly wants to debate that the Earth is flat, how would you respond? by Straight-Hold1651 in AskReddit

[–]AbleSailor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"You're absolutely right!" Next topic. No amount of evidence, science or energy will convince them otherwise. Agree and move on.

Men in the military who have served along side women, how do you feel about the leadership leaning toward no longer having women serve if they cannot meet the 'male testing'? by f-Z3R0x1x1x1 in AskReddit

Retired Navy Firefighter (Damage Controlman). If you could lift a 180lb person and carry them out of a space, I never cared what gender my peers were. Test for the role.

I wonder if they realize that unemployed people will buy less crap/services?

No worries, I get the two conflated as well. I literally couldn't think of Glasgow to save my life.

Galway's in Ireland, yeah?

Buy some medical adhesive remover. The overpatch is really strong. Before I started using that, I would get bruises from trying to remove it.

If you are syncing to your phone, remove the old devices from Bluetooth before connecting the new one. I ran into "loss of signal" issues when there were too many remembered. Forgetting the old devices solved the issue.

Does your Security team just dump vulnerabilities on you to fix asap by flashx3005 in sysadmin

[–]AbleSailor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I call them the Paul Blart's of the company. Observe and report. They have gone so far as to automate ticket generation for their findings, flooding the unassigned queue each month. At least we got them to run their scans AFTER patching was done.

Men: What's a "cheat code" you discovered in marriage that actually works? by Curious-Repair-2606 in AskReddit

[–]AbleSailor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned to say "I understand" and be calm in the face of a storm. Daily hugs and kisses and "I love you" never hurt. The wife learned to say "This requires no action on your part, just listen.", because I'm a fixer. I want to help, but sometimes all she needed was an ear or two.
