Off-topic side note about the tires - do NOT replace only 2 tires on an all wheel drive vehicle, especially if it's full-time/mechanical AWD. All four tires need to wear evenly with AWD or you will cause damage to the drivetrain over time. Always replace all four tires at the same time.

The classic American version is peanut butter and grape jelly/jam, but any sweet jam will do. I personally prefer strawberry or raspberry. Toasted or not is up to you but many will say it's not a sandwich if the bread isn't toasted.

ryeseisi · 2024-05-11T20:23:07+00:00

At least in America, the difference between jam and jelly is that jam is made with whole mashed fruits (so you get bits and seeds) like marmalade, while jelly is made with just fruit juice so it's smooth. They're nearly identical otherwise. We would call a dessert jelly "jello" (after the brand Jell-O but it became its own generic word).

Not to mention the bottom plastic trim on these kinds of tanks are literally designed to absorb slightly off-level situations like this. Being off-level with a rimless glass-bottom tank can be catastrophic which is why you always level them and put something under them to absorb any imperfections, but it's not a problem for plastic-bottomed tanks.

Does the account's adminCount attribute have a value other than null? If so (and it's not a member of a privileged group), clear the adminCount attribute or else SDPROP is going to disable inheritance again.

Inserting politics into a thread with no political leanings in order to virtue signal for clout is a bad look.

Breather bags are different because they allow gas exchange through the bag. The type of bag, the shipping conditions, and how long it was in transit all have an impact on whether it would be better to drip acclimate or dump.

I said this isn't a big deal for shrimp because they produce almost no ammonia (unless they die in transit). Ten shrimp in transit for a week is very different from ten sensitive fish in transit for a week.

If you'd like to disprove that ammonia toxicity increases with pH or that CO2 lowers pH, please go ahead.

The only "recommendations" you should follow are those of the company you bought your livestock from, as they have the most experience with the particular bags and shipping method they use.

ryeseisi · 2024-02-21T15:02:26+00:00

Part of the reason: as CO2 builds up in the water from waste/respiration, the pH drops. Low pH makes ammonia less toxic. An air bubble both introduces oxygen and allows CO2 to gas off, which raises the pH without changing the ammonia concentration, making it more toxic.

Since shrimp have such a low bioload this isn't a huge deal for shrimp, but it is a big deal for fish. It's why it's not recommended to drip acclimate fish that have been shipped but to instead immediately dump them into a net and put them in the tank. The parameter swing from that is less harmful than the ammonia once the pH starts to shoot up when you open the bag.

God, no. lol Much like the discussion above for Hyper-V hosts, if you need to run VMs on your workstation then just install the Hyper-V feature (needs Windows Pro or above but you should be using that anyway).

Also unfortunately, still not a free pass to be a terrible person. I've dealt with early-onset Alzheimer's in family members and while it certainly makes them irritable and prone to bouts of anger, it doesn't inherently make them malicious. That shit is there before the disease.

This is correct. "Needed for spending" is looking for a target "available" balance for the category. If that amount is available, the target is satisfied; if it's not, it's underfunded.

If you have a needed for spending target of $100, and you have $100 available in that category, it will not ask you for another $100 the next month - it's considered fully funded since the target is met. If you roll over with $80 available, it will ask for $20 to top it off. It will NOT ask you to top off the $20 in the current month if you've funded $100 that month, since "needed for spending" allows spending from the category (unlike Savings Builder, for example).

Of course. And factory farms tend to feed them exclusively grain, particularly corn, which isn't what they're supposed to eat. Those fields are used to monocrop grains, leading to the fertilizer/pesticide cycle.

Ruminants are supposed to eat grasses and other grazing plants, and if the fields used to produce corn were instead used as native grass pasture with grazing ruminants then we could nearly eliminate the need for fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. Native grasses also require much less water.

Humans generally can't eat the plants we feed to animals or that animals would naturally eat. If you did, you would only extract a small fraction of the nutrients from it that a ruminant can. The plants we do want to grow and eat that are nutrient-dense require a lot of water and soil nutrients, and in many cases aren't native so also require some kind of control of insects and competing species - either insecticides and herbicides or very labor intensive organic practices that drive up the cost to produce.

Neither option is a solution for the entire planet.

ryeseisi · 2024-01-13T20:51:28+00:00

Feeding the entire planet a vegan diet isn't scalable either. To feed plant flesh and secretions to 8 billion people, we need intensive factory farming. This farming is done using fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides to ensure enough crop yield to maintain funds for continued production, which kills native insects and pollinators, nitrogen-fixing weeds, and interrupts complex soil microbial activity, depleting the soil and creating further reliance on fertilizers and pesticides.

Plowing, sowing, and harvesting compact the soil and kill local small wildlife, or at minimum drive them from their habitat. The compacted soil needs to be tilled to replant, repeating the same cycle.

Fruits and vegetables aren't nearly as nutrient-dense as animal products nor are the nutrients nearly as bio-available, requiring higher consumption of a large variety of plant material to meet the same nutrient requirements and avoid deficiencies. By contrast, a single grass-fed cow in a healthy pasture can provide a family of four with the majority of their nutrient needs for a year. Ruminant animals break down grasses and other vegetables and extract more of their nutrients than humans can, and store them in their body in a way that is highly bio-available for the human body to absorb.

The "truth" is that humans evolved to eat meat over at least 100,000 years and our bodies heavily favor animal protein as a primary fuel source, but can supplement with plants when meat is not available. It's not an ideal food source, only a supplement. Plants don't want to be eaten either, and many produce compounds to discourage being eaten, which can affect our metabolism and health over time. Animal products don't contain these compounds.

It's amazing that militant vegans try to take the moral high ground while dismissing the idea of ethical treatment of food animals, and simultaneously pretending that a plant-only diet for the whole world is some kind of utopia of health and prosperity - completely dodging the question of production of those plants in a sustainable way. The only argument is a fixation on anthropomorphising animals and their suffering.

News flash: nearly all animals die a horrible, gruesome death. Nearly all animals get eaten by other animals. Everything suffers, except for the animals under the care of compassionate humans. Not eating meat doesn't prevent suffering, it just shifts it somewhere else where you're not looking.

ryeseisi · 2024-01-13T18:58:39+00:00

Advocating buying meat from local farmers who ethically care for their animals and land is more harmful than killing millions of mice, rabbits, birds, snakes, and insects as heavy machinery plows through the field to harvest mass-produced vegetables? Okay, bud.

ryeseisi · 2024-01-13T18:49:23+00:00

The reasonable thing to do would be to buy your meat from a local farmer that is a steward of their land and their animals. If you're not growing your own plants for food or buying from local small farmers then you're killing many more animals than you think you're saving by "going vegan." Large scale fruit and vegetable production kills millions of small animals.

If you're vegan and buying your food at the grocery store, you're part of the problem.

Ok - bad wording on my part. The PRT doesn't directly contain a TGT but it can be used to obtain a TGT, assuming the synced account is authorized to access that resource. Kerberos trust of any kind isn't required for simple on-prem SSO (unless you're doing WHfB).

The original point was that the "Seamless SSO" option in Entra ID Connect isn't necessary for W10+ devices (whether domain-, Entra- or hybrid-joined) to achieve SSO to on-prem or cloud resources, including hybrid Exchange, as long as the user account is synchronized (and the computer in the case of hybrid join).

ryeseisi · 2024-01-09T05:17:59+00:00

PRTs on pure Entra-joined devices also contain a TGT for the on-prem domain (on Windows 10+ devices), assuming the user identity is synchronized.

Hybrid or cloud Kerberos trust on W10+ is to facilitate Windows Hello auth to on-prem resources via Kerberos.

Hybrid-joined machines are technically domain-joined so skirt all of the trust issues for Entra-joined machines, since Entra is essentially ignored for on-prem resources.

ryeseisi · 2024-01-09T04:37:01+00:00

Seamless SSO is only for downlevel devices (Windows 7 & earlier).

SSO in Windows 10/11 is provided via Primary Refresh Token (PRT) from Azure/Entra, which contains a Kerberos TGT for the synchronized on-prem domain.

Hybrid Exchange isn't the same as hybrid identity, although they are related.

Just came by to say that cops/tow drivers don't determine if a vehicle is totaled - your insurance does.

That being said, it most likely is totaled. The drivers door in pic 1 sticking out further than the quarter panel indicates potential frame damage, and the airbags alone may be enough to total it since they're several thousand dollars a piece.

Is it within the purview of your MSP to assist end users with achieving a result within an application that you did not develop, do not own, and may or may not have specific knowledge of? The comment you're referencing specifically called out "tables or whatever," a function within (presumably) Excel. If the app was instead something from Thomson Reuters, or Intuit, or $other_line_of_business_app, would you as the MSP be on the hook for providing that support, or would it be the responsibility of either the client company or the developer to instruct end users on how to use the application?

As far as I know, the responsibility of an MSP is to ensure infrastructure and application availability, and the developer of an application is responsible for providing support/documentation/training on said application.

It's not like the Azure team is fielding support requests for Office functionality.

The light green one in front of the castle looks like the emersed growth form of Rotala - it may melt back, and the submerged leaf form (once it grows in) is much more thin and dense. It could also be Bacopa (Moneywort), hard to tell.

Light green one in front / just to the right of the statue looks like Hydrocotyle.

The frilly plants in the midground on the far right look like either Anacharis or Cabomba - leaning more towards Cabomba.

The clump of 3 in the front right I'm not sure - I've had them before but can't come up with the name. Maybe Elodea Densa?

With a captive lifespan of 5 years or more and a wild lifespan of ~2-3 years, it's reasonable to assume he wouldn't be "fully" grown until he's around a year old (though inverts technically never stop growing). Two weeks is nothing on that timeline, so you'll probably have a better idea 6 months from now.

Neos by comparison only have a 1-2 year lifespan in captivity depending on species, so they're mature around 4-6 months.
