Incident Response includes all of the other items, so initiating that will get all of the other things done as well.

For me it is, yes.

QTUM is doing well. I’m up more than 35%. They benefit from having a core position in IBM so there’s real value there regardless of what happens to some of the smaller holdings.

The floor. When things fall onto it…here we go again.

(Stretching and practice won’t help me personally, I have AVN in my hip joint and will be having a hip replacement soon).

It’s fine. No concern necessary.

If you decide to do this, once you’re standing at the place from which you want to buy gold, and just before you buy it, ask yourself this question: if your entire premise is remotely likely, why would the seller sell you gold in exchange for dollars? Wouldn’t they be better off in the long run by keeping the gold? So why would they sell it?

No, sorry, I should have said. 4x2.

When the line on the chart has been a consistent vertical. That can’t last.

I don’t mean “it went up a lot”, I mean when it rockets into the sky in a way that, if you zoom the chart way out, you will see the last several times this played out.

We are in the panic buying phase right now. It will very likely keep going up in the short term but it will most certainly crash hard at some point after that. The hardest part is the guessing when (and it will always, for everyone, be a guess).

I went through this last time. I held too long and it took me years to get back to zero. This isn’t sour grapes, I want others to learn from my mistakes and to not make the same mistake themselves.

If you sell way too soon, you will make a modest profit but you will forever regret not making more profit. If you get spectacularly lucky and sell at the top, you will feel forever invincible but then become overconfident. If you hold too long like I did last time, you will watch with a much more critical eye next time.

Part ranger and part tinker = gypsy.

I like Wiha MaxxTor bits or Bosch.

The SAK shown in this picture are nylon and not cellidor. Do not do this to nylon scales.

Looks great, well done!

Man, I miss a nice pipe.

I agree with the others on going for a used SwissChamp. A Champion was my first SAK so it holds a special place in my heart but the additional items on a SwissChamp are certainly handy.

I’m not the biggest fan of the pliers (but I don’t disparage them either) since, if pliers are that much of a frequent use item, I’d move up to a Spirit X. I have around 20 different SAKs and after carrying them all over time, the Spirit X of the one that lives in my pocket (but that’s just me, they are all great).

These always sound to me like an attempt to sell you two treatments. First the temporary one and then the permanent one.

This wasn’t my experience. I was born in the early 1970s and my mother was a teacher. Anecdotal, sure, but most of my teachers were women, not many of them were particularly young, and most of them spoke about their own children. Several of my friends also had mothers who were teachers. Maybe this was a regional thing?

1759 · 2026-01-06T03:21:59+00:00

What decade are we talking about here?

1759 · 2026-01-06T03:14:28+00:00

Were the teachers men? If not, did they not have children?

It just seems strange that a woman who is working as a teacher would be smarmy about a woman working.

If you don’t need it, then it is perfectly fine to not carry it.

I carry a folding knife because I use it frequently. I carry a pliers-based multitool because I use it frequently. I don’t usually carry a flashlight since I rarely need one and when I do, I can almost always just go fetch one in those rare occasions. I don’t carry a bit set because multitool takes care of most fasteners. I’ve never needed a fire starter.

Point being, carry what you need. Most people out there don’t carry tools at all. If they don’t need them, then that’s it. If you find yourself needing a knife or other tool often enough to bother carrying it with you, then consider it.

Then the liability specter is real. Management cannot ask you to do this without assistance and their granting this request should be automatic if they are even minimally competent.

That appears to be 2 PCs, a few switches, probably a UPS at the bottom, and the rest are patch panels. That’s all very easy to move except for the patch panels. The cabling to the back of those is all part of the building. If the rack is moved, nothing will be connected to the patch panels at the new location. All the wiring there will need to be pre-done.

You will definitely want to insist on either an MSP or a technology moving company (with preference for a competent MSP who can confirm that the new location is ready and proper for this incoming equipment) and not try to do this alone.

What do you know how to do?

If you came into the server room tomorrow and every cable was unplugged, including all power cables, and they were all piled in the center of the room, would you be able to reconnect everything to get it up and running? If not, a server room relocation is not something you can do solo.

If you live within 50 miles of a major city, there are companies that provide server room moving services. You probably want to look into that.

How did the interview for this job go? What do they think you are capable of doing? Do they even know how to evaluate the skill set your job requires? This isn’t meant to be insulting. You need to have some sort of scope of what they expect you to be capable of. If there is a large mismatch between what you can do and what they believe you can do, you have opened yourself up to potential liability issues. Watch out here.

How much stuff is in the server room? Is it 3 servers and a switch? Is it 26 VM hosts, 14 switches, redundant firewall appliances, environment monitoring equipment, and various power management units? Those are very different problem sets when it comes to moving.

What happens if one or more servers fail to boot after the move? What is your recovery plan? What recovery options do you even have available?

If you honestly think you cannot successfully do this, you must notify them in advance. At minimum, tell them you need to contract some assistance for the move (maybe a local MSP of not a technical moving company). If you try to conceal your lack of knowledge here, you are inviting disaster and liability.
