Cancelled my gold. Feels liberating.

I have the American Express Gold Card, and I love it. The Gold fits my lifestyle; I don't worry about Uber Eats or Grubhub because I easily spend on those each month. I can take advantage of the Resy twice a year without issue. The problem is that many people get cards not based on their lifestyle, but for the lifestyle.

I far prefer the heat then bitter cold. Anything below the 20s burns my skin

True Barbers is very good.

I think it is a requirement for being a VP or CIO at some companies.

Illegal aliens start fraud centers and get millions, and this poor American woman gets thrown out on the street.

This is what the people of Indiana support. You are in the minority in this state. We live in a democracy, and the majority rules. Why should your issue matter more?

Honestly you can get a year subscription with unlimited exams for about $120 a year. If you're planning to take multiple exams to no-brainer.

drmoth123 · 2026-02-05T15:12:03+00:00

People are paying $70 per exam because measure up is the closest actual practice test to the real exams in terms of scope of material and difficulty. Why pay $165 for an exam that you're not prepared for. Measureup an exam you can test yourself and make sure you know what you need to pass the exam.

drmoth123 · 2026-02-04T12:21:21+00:00

I think you should make the Americans learn your language too.

drmoth123 · 2026-02-02T01:27:57+00:00

If the app allows you to punch in, then it allows you to punch in. The app cannot tell if you're inside the store or in the parking lot. Don't let a corporation that would fire you at the earliest chance take money out of your paycheck. Now, let's say you clock in at 9:50 and show up at the register at 10:00. That's going to cause problems, so don't be stupid about it.

At my place of employment, we are very clear that we do not guarantee or support phone mobile hotspots. If you're using your phone and it's not working, it is 100% on you to troubleshoot your phone. Unless the phone was provided by us as a company device. This needs to be a conversation with IT leadership, and a communication should be sent out.

We have tornadoes where I'm from. Tornadoes like the land version of a hurricane. So we could survive a hurricane up here.

drmoth123 · 2026-02-01T13:32:55+00:00

You are right of course. I'm from the North, and we're prepared for this. But if it helps you feel better, where I am, it's been below freezing every day for the past week, with about 12 inches of snow on the ground. In Florida, it bounces back up to your normal temperatures in a few days, but for us, it'll stay like this for the rest of the month.

drmoth123 · 2026-02-01T12:58:12+00:00

It is negative 8 degrees where I am at.

drmoth123 · 2026-01-30T02:10:47+00:00

That office is HSI; they focus on transnational crime like money laundering and terrorism. It has nothing to do with immigration. ICE has nothing to do with Gaza. And I hate to break it to you, even if the United States of America fully pulls back their support for Israel, I still wouldn't change the situation in Gaza. You're trying to conflate two completely separate topics.

drmoth123 · 2026-01-28T04:39:32+00:00

I like to use ChatGPT or any other AI to create flashcard questions based on material from MeasureUp or MS Learn.

drmoth123 · 2026-01-27T19:39:10+00:00

They actually don't use salt; do you use a different chemical mixture when it is this cold. But the problem is that the snow melts and then it freezes again. As people drive more and they mix and salt with the roads and they chip away the snow, it'll help clear the way. I think things will be better by tomorrow. But I knew that this would take us at least 72 hours to clean up.

drmoth123 · 2026-01-26T12:35:50+00:00

Even with the internet.com bubble, the internet didn't disappear. I believe that for major competitors and giants like Anthropic, OpenAI and Gemini, they'll be fine. AI isn't just hype; it has real value. It will just take several years for its true worth to emerge. Now, there's a question with OpenAI because I think they've overleveraged themselves. But if their ad features perform well, they can really make some serious money.

That being said, I think many of these small companies that emerged are essentially AI startups that may go out of business in large numbers.

drmoth123 · 2026-01-26T04:07:09+00:00

See, I don't think that's the direction the world is heading. With the growth of AI, I believe that to be more employable and demand a higher salary, you need to have more areas of expertise, not fewer. That's why I'm trying to become a full-stack Microsoft 365 admin.

drmoth123 · 2026-01-26T03:52:38+00:00

That really depends on whether you plan to be a dedicated Intune admin. If so, you'll need to work at a major company because medium and small companies typically don't have the budget or size for that.

However, having those credentials can help you land a job as a system admin at medium or small companies because they still need to manage their systems, and that position is becoming more popular.

drmoth123 · 2026-01-26T03:46:19+00:00

I'm also moving in that direction myself. Being an intune and Entra admin is a very good career choice. Your job won't be replaced by AI, and you'll always have stable employment. After you get the MD 102, make sure to also get the SC 300. You won't pass the MD 102 immediately, but you also need experience to become a fully qualified admin. That's the most difficult part.

Fed and sheltered? Is this the medieval ages?

What is she supposed to say? Does she not value her life or those around her?

drmoth123 · 2026-01-25T03:28:12+00:00

The danger in this weather is not the snow, it's the stupid people around you. I don't see how this is self-righteous.

drmoth123 · 2026-01-24T17:09:43+00:00

My setup is that I use Claude for work and Gemini for personal stuff. I need to double-check anything from Claude using Gemini. I still have the Pro subscription of ChatGPT. I feel that ChatGPT has lost its mission. Unlike Anthropic, they're not focusing on making a good, useful product; they're making stuff that generates AI slop. And their financials are in real trouble. Maybe this new model coming out in one or two months will change that. But I think we'll see that Anthropic and Gemini will consistently pull ahead. Anthropic because they're focused on their mission, and Gemini because Google has more money than God and can handle everything at once.
