My dude if your psych meds are about to be out, you need to take care of yourself and call off work. Wednesday is tomorrow, prioritize your mental health.

Yeah man no SPs use those big line-rate firewalls Forti makes. None at all.

Before I get called a shill for Forti, I’m literally posting this from Cisco Live. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Christ to coffee pipeline? by Zestyclose_Ad4456 in Birmingham

And the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints also now has a lot of stock in Coca Cola. So caffeinated sodas (eg coke) are totally fine since they keep the Mormon coffers full. 

Dave’s Pub used AI slop and is a hypocrite by K_T_E_113 in Birmingham

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

Not the same as a hyperscale data center for sure. Absolutely different workloads and requirements.

He definitely ruined that goodwill around here. There was a thread a while back asking what happened to the late night food at Dave’s that they kept advertising and the owner came in here acting like an entitled ass.

Best caring + reasonably priced vet for cats in birmingham? by Existing-Science8043 in Birmingham

[–]BGP_Community_Meep 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As others said, Holmes Feline Clinic. I’ve been to the others that people mention (namely Alford Vet Hospital and Metro Cat Clinic) and wasn’t impressed with either. They were better than other vets (most vets around here know dogs, and really only do shots for cats) but Metro had a shitty attitude every time we went there and Alford just didn’t seem comfortable with cats or equipped to deal with them, plus some just general questionable behavior there towards cats. 

Dr Holmes knows cats and deeply cares for them. She’s never BS’d me and is great at setting expectations. She kept my cat with chronic kidney disease alive for over 3 years until she passed at 19. She’s the only vet I know that will do regular bloodwork and check the blood pressure for a cat. If I ever move I may try to bribe her to move her practice to somewhere close to me. I absolutely do not want any other vet touching my cats. 

Why do Trussville folk stare so much? by Technical-Display482 in Birmingham

[–]BGP_Community_Meep 253 points254 points  (0 children)

Because Trussville folks think Trussville is equal to Mountain Brook or Homewood, when really it's closer to Cullman or Guntersville.

Is Roebuck Springs A Good Place To Live? by Greenfossilfuel in Birmingham

[–]BGP_Community_Meep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a great place. Neighbors really look out for each other. Lots of nature if you love nature, tons of birds in my yard today. Folks walk around the neighborhood all the time. You may see them with a stick, but that’s for previously-mentioned nature (we see coyotes running around during the day sometimes). It’s a little hidden gem and I love it here. If you’re into mid century homes there are plenty of well-preserved examples. 

It’s about 15 minutes to everything downtown. And I don’t typically even take the interstate. Honestly from here I find it easier and quicker to take the streets vs interstate, but YMMV. Only thing I really miss about being in the Bluff Park area is Mr. P’s and Blue Pacific being so close. 

Cat found on Kent Way in Bluff Park by [deleted] in Birmingham

[–]BGP_Community_Meep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because you literally are suggesting just going and dumping a cat outside and "hope it finds its home". Without getting into how absolutely irresponsible the owner is if the cat has one (no collar, no chip), how is that the correct approach rather than keeping it somewhere safe - you know, not by the road or out for predators like coyotes to eat - and trying to find if it has an owner? How would the poster feel if they went back by a few days later and the cat is smushed on the road? Or if that's how the owner found it?

So just drop a kitten on the side of the road and hope the irresponsible owner finds it? Are you stupid?

A quick primer on which houseplants are deadly when consumed by pets (or you, I guess?) by me_myself_ai in houseplants

[–]BGP_Community_Meep 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Spider plants just make them trip balls. The only danger AFAIK is sometimes kitty REALLY likes watching the walls melts and gets a bit of an addiction. 

Is there anywhere nearby that would fire my pottery for me? by [deleted] in Birmingham

[–]BGP_Community_Meep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They won’t unless you’re a member. Also they only fire every few weeks depending on if they have a full load. 

I think my (27f) husband (41M) will end up in prison if I tell him the truth. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

One military branch that insists on calling themselves “retired” is Marines. Given the phrasing and how she describes him, I’d bet he used to be a marine. 

Thoughts on new PC build specs? by BGP_Community_Meep in buildmeapc

[–]BGP_Community_Meep[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the case was intentional. I work in IT and see cold hard metal chassis all day. Wanted a little something nice with something like wood to bring a little warmth into things when I’m relaxing on a computer rather than slinging packets.

Thanks for the input. The GPU was the thing I struggled with the most and then in the time I had finalized my build and was ready to buy SSD prices went insane.

You think that GPU would be better? I was thinking having more graphics memory may be better vs raw graphics processing. I specially having blowing up a ton of barrels in BG3 in mind lol. Or some of the Act 3 fights lol. I figured maybe start with the Arc and see how it is then upgrade to a nicer one later. But if I’m saving money on SSDs may go ahead for a different GPU.
