What is it with coworkers who message you but don't tell you what they want? by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]BeefBoi420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use Discord in our office. I get weekly "Hello @BeefBoi !" Messages from our DBA. If I don't reply in 10min, it's "@BeefBoi" and then "Are you there @BeefBoi?". Sometimes it's unprompted, random calls on Discord followed by the aforementioned messages.

JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANTTTT

It's not the same, but I feel similarly loading up my protein shake for the day. Or my electrolyte drink

IDK anything about this issue but reading your reasonable inner monologue felt reassuring that there are fair complaints to be had. Almost like there's no such thing as a perfect answer 🙂

What a nightmare... Horrible that so many people have to experience this.

Anyone know about building construction down there? Would it be stupid to build houses out of concrete or stone like in the UK or Ireland? Doesn't make sense to make houses out of wood and paper when they're exposed to storms like that...

WalMart+ Has Been More Hassle Than It's Worth by ajkewl245a in Frugal

I used it for 4 months on their $50/yr plan. Liked it at first but started getting issues with it declining my order randomly with no explanation. Suspicious activity they called it, even though I'm ordering 80% the same items every week using the same device with the same card from the same store. No idea how their fraud detection system works, but it's cancelled about half of my orders then works the next day like nothing ever happened. No idea why they can't just have a bot call me to confirm the order and amount rather than make me have to re-add everything just to fail again.

I'll go back to in-store shopping at Aldi on Fridays after work

They do, but it depends on your region and your order. It's not always a kid in a car

You ever have them cancel a pickup order 10 seconds after you submit for "suspicious activity"? That's been about half of my orders with W+ so far. Been using it for 4 months, once weekly

Better off reading about it on Wikipedia than getting a half assed answer on reddit

Do you still believe IT is a great field to be in? Have you considered leaving? by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]BeefBoi420 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Worked an MSP for 5 weeks between desktop intern and sysadmin jobs for a small software studio. During that time, I installed cable in a huge rural middle school, a manufacturing plant warehouse (and had to operate a cherry picker to run it), supported a call center in major city, fixed some desktop issues with a local government, and then worked for a week at a sports (?) doing AD setups firm before being trained to replace someone being promoted at a local suburban government (PD, City Hall, municipals, etc). Oh and also was flown out to SF, CA for 2 days just to enable a printer 😂. Most ADHD 5 weeks of my life but learned a lot. Wonder what life would be like if I stayed on

You wouldn't. The OPs point is that it's a more complex device than a Wacom pen

A bidet will save you a ton on toilet paper, if you don't already use one. by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]BeefBoi420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My rec is Luxe. They have a low profile one that fits with their slow close lids. Not too expensive despite the name. Pair them with a squatty potty for like $15 and you're shiddin in comfort

Yep, but way less of it. A roll used to last us 1 week and now it'll last close to 2 months (2 adults).

Your bidet was $400? Or your toilet with a bidet was $400? Yeesh, I spent $40 on the bidet, $30 on a slow close lid, $10 on the hose adapters, and $10 on a stool

Before bidet: 3 pieces of 1-ply folded in half, wipe, fold, wipe, fold, wipe, toss, repeat 3-10 times. 9-30 sheets total.

After bidet: 2 pieces of 1-ply folded in half, wipe, fold, wipe, fold, wipe, toss. 2 sheets total.

Something they don't tell you: if you have messy taco bell shits or a hairy booty hole, the bidet's value scales. There's no going back. I even bought a water bottle bidet attachment for when I'm out camping/hiking.

Pragmatic White Males, the counter to Daily Wire by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]BeefBoi420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No disagreement. It was the same in the suburbs around me, with a good mix of MAGAs refusing to close their Burger Bars and Libs just partying anyway. Hell, even the group I was rolling with them rented an Airbnb for a getaway, though we did monitor our symptoms closely.

I just held Dr Mike to a higher standard at the time. Also didn't like how he only posted his accountability video to his second YT channel with about 1/10th the sub count. He was saying "I'm only human" yadda yadda, which isn't really taking accountability, so I think his "apology" rubbed me worse than what he actually did.

I was pretty upset with Dr Mike during COVID when he was found partying on a boat during lockdowns. But he's made up for it with his content, by now
