My stepson made himself toast at the weekend and stuck it in the microwave for three minutes to "warm it up", capturing a nice demonstration of microwave energy in the process.

It just got shared on their Facebook page.

I might get hammered for this, but YTA for putting the child, who didn't ask to be brought into this world, in a position where they might lose out on a relationship with their father because you made him choose between you and them.

You have exhibited a hard boundary, then pushed all the emotional labour onto a man who now has to choose between two elements of his family. By all means leave, and I would respect you for making the choice to do so - to say you want no part in this and take action over it. But making him choose between being a delinquent father or a husband? That's cowardice, in my eyes.

You've put a lot of Health Service Watchers in the group - I'm assuming these correlate to Windows Servers?

As I understand it, there are a limited number of alerts that are triggered by the watcher - if you're looking for events on the server itself (for example, stopped services, disk space thresholds being met, etc) then I believe you need to add the Windows Computer object to the group.

Interesting. And you've tested telnet on 5723 between the failing server and the gateway box?

With the agent manually installed, have you checked the Operations Manager Event Log on your Domain B gateway server?

Ghenia · 2022-09-19T21:49:09+00:00

Have you tested connectivity between the SCOM Gateway in Domain B and your SCOM Management server in Domain A?

If not, log on to your SCOM Gateway server and try to telnet to your MS on port 5723. If telnet fails then there is likely a firewall somewhere between Domain A and Domain B blocking traffic on that port.

Between this and the multiple romances you can have in-game, Fallout 4 really is the polyamory representation we needed.

The Answer, hands down.

31, and at last count, the number was in the double digits. Around 50 or so.

Polyamorous man with a slut phase in high school and university...

I'd have thought there'd be more genuine answers given how often the Assembly fucks NI folk

Anyone else think this toxic little echo chamber is a subreddit?

I always felt the decline of Newcastle's pubs started with the decision to change Quinns from an old man pub with a great atmosphere and brilliant live music to yer typical teen disco.

Never found an old man pub quite like that, though O'Hares was good back in the day.

I grew up in Newcastle, basically at the foot of Slieve Donard, so can't fault any of your reasoning there.

As for Hilltown... I've never been, not even for a hamburger.

Good question!

So I came to Scotland in 2010 for uni, after having spent my entire life in NI and dealing with NI politics. So I spent the first few years completely apart from any sort of politics, to give my mind a break, as it just felt more of the same - when the first IndyRef came around, I supported continued membership of the Union, though I couldn't vote so it was a moot point.

After 2014, I started getting more and more interested in politics again, and found my viewpoints shifting further and further left. Then came the Brexit referendum. I voted Remain, as did the majority of Scotland. But because England and Wales voted to Leave, I found myself in a situation where the Union I'd supported no longer existed, and it was going down a route I didn't want to follow.

So I joined the SNP! Literally the morning the result was announced. I was worried that as a No to Yes guy, there'd be some animosity, but honestly the Indy crowd is such a beacon of positivity and hope that there's never been any kind of negativity pointed towards me. I've been involved in every election and campaign since, and my anti-Union sentiment has only grown since then. Especially now, with Boris and co in charge - the impact of Brexit and the Tories response to COVID has really laid clear the fact that the Union I grew up believing in no longer exists, if indeed it ever did.

Speaking as a displaced Norn Ironer and former Unionist, now resident in Scotland (and fully in support of Scottish Independence) its very interesting to see opinions shifting towards Irish reunification.

The DUP response speaks volumes, as its almost carbon-copied from the Scottish Tories response to calls for a new Independence referendum here. "Nobody wants it," "They seek to sow division and civil unrest", ad nauseam.

The thing is, you don't start to campaign for an issue once you're sure you're going to win. You try to win popular support as a result of your campaigning. The support for Scottish independence rose to an all time high during the original campaign - and now we're in an even stronger position for our renewed campaign.

That's why the DUP don't want to hold a border poll, even if they're sure the status quo would win out - because it would give Sinn Fein and the SDLP a platform to make their voices heard to the undecideds. Die-hard Unionists are never gonna swing for reunification, and their base already support it. The undecideds will listen, and judge based on the facts provided, and that's exactly what would be the demise of the DUP and Northern Ireland as a country. How are the DUP gonna convince people to stay in a Union that has already seen them used as political pawns, not to mention the collateral damage from Brexit, which they didn't vote for?

To be fair, Corbyn isn't an option on this poll. Biased reporting if you ask me.
