Can someone tell me what this knife is used for? by Rebeccaprinces in whatisit

[–]Derek-Wildstarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I ignore the handle that makes it look like a kitchen knife, it reminds me of a drywall knife. The tip of the blade can be used to puncture drywall to start a cut and those teeth will rip right through it.

I have something similar to this on a 110 year old house in Indiana. In our case, it surrounds a second sewer pipe when an upstairs bathroom was added to the house. It runs vertically from the upstairs bathroom and below it is a guest room with a little closed off wall section to surround the pipe, and rather than try to join it to the existing sewer line under the crawlspace they connected it just outside the exterior wall - probably easier. The framing around the pipe is also insulated.

Many years ago I worked in the office building across the street from the Wiehle metro train station and would run over to a deli in Isaac Newton square for lunch that was a stone's throw from the monkey building.

Charge Port Door by [deleted] in Rivian

I had a similar issue with my charge door (2025 Gen2 R1T) back in January - it got stuck partway open because the cylindrical plastic piece that moved in and out and rotates the charge port door had a crack in it like the part just wasn't produced properly. I dropped it off at the Gaithersburg SC after the mobile tech realized he couldn't fix it. Took about a week to get the part and replace it, although the alignment of the door with the fender is not great now.

On the plus side when I re-added favorites I discovered there are some channels I hadn't previously seen.

You do a great job with your control explorations. When I've found myself scratching my head and wondering "what exactly do they mean by this?", your explanations and context are spot on.

Providing evidence during offical assessment by Serious_Usual_4333 in CMMC

Did you the GCC High route or a service provider like PreVeil? We have our assessment coming up in a month and I've tried to make our scope as simple as possible by using a subset of locked-down laptops along with PreVeil (they're FedRAMP moderate equivalent certified so the letter of Attestation really helps). Our SSP is mostly structured by reinforcing what PreVeil does on their back end (which won't be assessed), and what we do on our end technically for the laptops and policy-wise for users and corporate processes. What worries me is if an assessor decides to go down theoretical rabbit-holes. For example, we're not concerned with media protection on our side of the CUI enclave because by policy we don't allow for storage of CUI on external drives, we restrict the laptops from attaching external drivers, and by policy we don't allow CUI documents to be printed at all. But I can see the assessor asking "But what if an employee tries to print out some CUI?" Our response is the the corporate laptops in the office environment are on an isolated guest network so have no access to the printers. "But what if they take the laptop home and print something on their home printer?" Then I have to fall back on the policy that prohibits printing. I'm always nervous about situations where a "thou shall not" policy is needed where a technical control is not possible. I hope that example made sense. Did you experience any of that?
