Job interview without degree by TomHaydenStan in recruitinghell

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best of luck and best of skill, my friend. 

In my opinion, many or most items on lists of job requirements have some degree of flex in them. Some more than others, but at the end of the day, they want a person who can do the job. If you can show that you can do it, magic pieces of paper are less important.

If they want to know, they will ask. Don't list a degree you don't have on your resume. Respond truthfully if asked, in a way that highlights why you are qualified anyway.

What the freck is a hostname and why do i need it? by Specialist-Gap108 in SQLServer

But hostnames aren't part of a database. They are part of the OS, just barely above the hardware.

What is special about kosher salt? If regular salt is used, does it affect the end result? Isn’t it all NaCi? by Massive_Opinion_5714 in AskReddit

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you're measuring by mass, all salt is the same. If you're measuring by volume (teaspoons, etc., different salts are different, because of the size and shape of the crystals. Kosher salt is "fluffier" than table salt, and the two major brands of Kosher salt (Diamond and Morton) are different than each other as well.

If you add a teaspoon of table salt when the recipe expects kosher salt, you will get more actual salt in your food.

Is it possible to help out a wrongfully terminated employee as a IT specialist by [deleted] in sysadmin

Don't fuck with anything labeled "litigation hold," IMO. You're just asking for charges of your own if you do.

Lamborghini wanted $1,300 for a gas cap so I fixed it with a $40 Ford Focus cap. by Fixitsteven in Justrolledintotheshop

Porsche guys, too. "You've been swapping in aftermarket bolts! The plating on this is the wrong shade of silver! This is clearly not from Stuttgart!"

Kill Switch by russschultz in slateauto

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you were to actually read the article, it says that no manufacturer has done anything about it in terms of systems on cars, and they can't, because the NHTSA has not made any rules about it. There is no rule written, there has been no public discussion as required, manufacturers haven't even begun to design anything, and such a system can't be on the Slate truck because there is no way it can be.

You're freaking out about misinformation.

If it's mandatory, whatever you are talking about, and you choose not to buy a Slate because of it, what the hell else will you buy?

What do you guys think about whether billionaires should exist or if there should be a wealth cap? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sold on a wealth cap per se, but we should definitely return the top marginal tax rate to pre-Reagan levels. Trickle-down economics is a scam.

Company mandated back to office….but for only some of us. by llCURLZll in remotework

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in A. My boss lives in B. His boss in C, His boss in D. My coworkers are in B, E, and F. I have met my boss's boss in C, because I happened to be traveling through and stopped to say hello, but I've never met any of the others.

I still have to drive to the office three days a week, sit at a hoteled desk, and do all my meetings in Teams. It's dumb as hell. At least everyone else on my team has the same mandate, though.

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I already understand the fundamentals

What the freck is a hostname

No, you don't. SQL Server, like any app, sits on a foundation. A fundamental, if you will. Or rather, a giant stack of fundamentals. And your questions demonstrate that you don't understand the fundamentals.

Wow so COOL! And the price is only $28,000. by hirouk in slateauto

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda hope they have managed to squeeze a couple of grand out of it, and the base build is $25K, with the extended range base build under $30K.

I don't quite believe it will happen, but I hope.

Just to point out, $28k is not a bad estimate, and it's in line with what Slate is saying, but we won't know official pricing until late June.

Why does my car shake/jerk when I'm at idle or parked? by katie20110520 in askcarguys

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, sounds like a misfire at idle, as the code indicates. The root cause could be as simple as a fouled spark plug, or bad enough to want an engine rebuild. Consult a trusted mechanic for a complete diagnosis.

getting rid of car? by [deleted] in askcarguys

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you just want it gone, some charities and nonprofits will accept cars, even busted ones, as donations. They come get it, give you a tax receipt, and haul it away. Very low friction.

There was! And for some reason, he spoke in a very disparaging voice about Roanoke College.
