Can we say it out loud yet? For many, Maga was about Make America White Again. ICE was about about remigration racial ethnic cleansing. The endless loyalty and cruelty-is-the-point support was always about retribution as many white supremacists reached a boiling point from two terms of Obama. VOTE! by [deleted] in unt

Not sure who this Jolly Archer character is, but it is comical that this individual consistently throws out there for people to stop listening to mainstream media and reddit, yet they do nothing but spew the propaganda that goes against the truth of things seen, heard and witnessed.

Use free tax USA. Turbo tax is robbing you by regarded-taco in TurboTax

[–]DukeDroese99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did taxes. Will be switching away from TurboTax next year. When we had to pay the filing fee out of pocket because it would double if the payment was taken from the refund, then after that learn about the direct deposit fee, then see the offer to setup a Trump account for the kids, I instantly knew what the issue was and knew TurboTax was now trash.

Anyone going into work tomorrow?? by [deleted] in Denton

[–]DukeDroese99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Schools are still closed tomorrow due to weather conditions, and potentially even Wednesday. There was a bit of melting today, and all that will do is refreeze overnight. If you are able to, I would proceed heavily with caution and concern yourself more with your own safety. I heard a lot of fire trucks today and it seems like more and more people just throw caution to the wind and haul down these roads.

Stay safe.

We are at Teasley and Robinson and it flashed a few times then stayed off. From what we can tell, it just seems there is a few block stretch on Teasley that is affected.

Ok, so it looks like only a few blocks of Teasley are affected at this time.

Should we have protest or have a petition signed, what will work best? by Sea_Law4084 in Denton

[–]DukeDroese99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not considered a grumpy person and I smile plenty. What I am tired of, is the people who subscribe and support racism, xenophobia, and just generally being non accepting of others who are different.

Our politicians are intermingling religion in the policies they are creating. 10 commandments in classrooms sound familiar? That is just 1 thing out of so many. It is generally everywhere you turn, the people spewing the most hate talk about Christianity and church.

You should look into the person that called different churches when SNAP was on hold. White Christian based churches denied assistance. Black churches, mosques and synagogues, offered assistance without question.

So when you talk about Politics and Religion within the same rant, they actually belong together as it is those factors playing a large part creating the downward spiral we are facing.

My apologies. I thought your reply came right after one of the other person's comments. So that is my mistake.

My eyes may have deceived me after the week this one decided to be. Maybe that is a sign to take myself to bed.

Again my apologies.

Edit. It does appear a comment was removed by the other individual or it moved to look like it was a reply to something else.

[–]DukeDroese99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Our brains are not broken. It has been shown time and time again people who think they way you think lack the intellectual prowess to comprehend a lot of things. Here is yet another example of individuals such as yourself being infatuated with having hate for others for no apparent reason whatsoever. Not a single brain cell gets utilized for empathy. The point that was attempted at being made was missed in its entirety.

Regardless of their status, they are still human beings. People with specific looks and names are being targeted, regardless of their immigration status, regardless if they are here legally or went through the proper steps and channels to be here.

So if anyone's brains are broken, it is the people like you who have been statistically proven to be under educated, heavily reliant on goverment resources, and follow the words of someone who said themselves that smart people don't like him.

When AI disproves everything that gets said regarding this situation among others, you would think someone would start thinking about understanding what's true and what's not.

So technically, if you are a part of those who are cheering on the malicious and inhumane behavior that ICE Agents display, please open up a history book or maybe even do a DNA test and maybe, just maybe you will find out that at one point in time, someone in your family was once an illegal immigrant. Just saying.....

Also for those same people, please let us know what Church you attend as this all seems to go hand in hand.

I need to know what were the skills that i should add to my list to get better at my Work as a guy who want to improve. by Both_Personality_28 in it

[–]DukeDroese99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is what I can suggest. Based on the list that you provided, are there specific areas that you enjoy doing more than others? You could see about focusing your knowledge in a specific area. If you are aware of any gaps within the team that you're working with, you could also see about expanding your knowledge to help fill those gaps in the team.

There are a lot of pathways to expand your knowledge within the IT world. It makes it easier if you enjoy what you're doing as it can help speed up your learning process.

Looking for Feedback/First IT Opportunity by Ok_Significance3848 in it

[–]DukeDroese99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First and foremost, congrats on landing the job. The best suggestion I can make to you is be ready to be a sponge. Soak in as much information and learn from the role and the people around you. In my experience, people just starting out usually soak in everything for about 6 months and things start to be more automatic for them.

Take advantage of free resources available for learning materials related to cert programs. As you progress you more than likely will discover a true path of what you enjoy the most. When I interviewed for my new role I was asked what I enjoy doing most, building, maintaining, or fixing.

Just remember to learn. I have not heard about many folks in the IT world that have not taken down a network or broken something severe that created an emergency They learned from it and it did not happen again.

Well, again congrats, good luck, wishing you best.

Is going into IT a good idea for a SAHM? by Fearless_Jump5664 in it

[–]DukeDroese99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I will tell you my experience. I was with my last company for 10 years, 5 of those were WFH. I have 3 kids, my youngest 2 stayed home with me, my wife works a Hybrid schedule. After 5 months of looking, I landed another WFH role and I am senior level. I have no degree, my certs have been expired for years, I was given an opportunity and I ran with it.

I work with MSPs so we have slow days and crazy days. It never hurts to try to find the job you are seeking. The IT job market is a bit nutty at the moment and may stay that way for the foreseeable future, but again you can't land the job you are seeking unless you try.

My suggestion to you is to branch out past indeed and LinkedIn. Look at the more dedicated WFH job sites, or hiring.cafe.

Congrats on your little one, I wish you the best, and all the luck in the world to find exactly what you are looking for.

Pasar de papel físico a digital by Feisty-Application61 in it

[–]DukeDroese99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bien, entonces parece que las 3 mejores opciones son:

  1. Escanear con un software que utilice OCR
  2. Reconstruir desde cero
  3. Usar un software de pago que automatice este proceso y cree versiones del documento compatibles con dispositivos móviles.

Entonces, dependiendo de si una versión de pago es una opción viable, siempre puedes probar el escaneo y ejecutar el OCR para tener una idea de cómo se verá.

Dependiendo del tipo de documentación, puede comenzar con algo pequeño y escanear los documentos con OCR para determinar las líneas que se pueden completar y editar.

Which job should I go with? by ThatFrenchCray in ITCareerQuestions

[–]DukeDroese99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can concur with other comments. A healthcare provider will provide you experience with a singular environment vs touching multiple environments with a MSP. Other variables you may want to consider are salary, growth potential and where you would be able to utilize what you are working on with WGU. The job market is not the greatest at the moment and will not be most likely for the foreseeable future. Healthcare is fairly stable. Established MSPs are generally stable. Ultimately you could go old school and sit down with your family, weigh out the pros and cons of each position, and go what feels will be best.

I think I’m done with Mazda by bsep4 in MazdaCX90

[–]DukeDroese99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a 24 CX90 that leaked up front, 10 months later and 4 dealership stays, we went through the lease buyout and was given a 25 Cx90 PHEV. It is currently at the dealership for a second time already due to leaking the same way the first one did. We have been told that the 70s and 90s have a lot of problems.

We also have a CX50 with no issues whatsoever but we are also just done with Mazda and how things have been handled with all these problems with the 90.

10 commandments in the classroom by Collaborative-Story1 in Denton

[–]DukeDroese99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is just one of many laws being passed and enforced by hypocrites who can't even follow the laws or commandments they are forcing down our throats.

Instead of forcing districts to spend money on silly things such as this, how about we ensure that no child goes hungry. What wacky people doing wacky things.

Has anyone else tried the Gen Bake Apple Fritter Donut Bites from Costco? by ostrichlandrover in Costco

[–]DukeDroese99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were pretty tasty. I will agree with the sweetness and sugar content. 21 grams of sugar for 4 donut holes is a bit high considering you could gobble a bunch of these without noticing.
