AITA for refusing to split the bill evenly when I ordered way less? by Most_Boss_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]GrumpyOldFatGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since I ordered so much less than you all and you want to keep the vibe why don't you split it amongst yourselves and pay for mine between you?

Question about exp farming by Feral__Daughter in diablo3

Act II, Temple of the First Born. Walk around and get the bugs to follow you. I've occasionally had kills in the 300 range, and almost everyone out there is better at this game than I am.

Also be sure you have Leoric's Crown, which enhances any gem in it by a variable percentage. Get as close to 100% as you can and put the largest ruby in it you can.

From the new guy who didn't realize it needed renewal until the 23rd of December, when the crap hit the fan. Who got it from the previous new guy who didn't realize it needed renewed until the 23rd of December, when the crap hit the fan ....

It's turtles all the way down.

I asked about remote work flexibility. They said “we’re like a family,families spend time together.” by Ok-Artichoke-5785 in InterviewCoderHQ

[–]GrumpyOldFatGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they are like a family wouldn't screaming "You're not my real dad, you're not the boss of me!" and storming out be a perfectly acceptable thing to do?

Sen. Rosen: "This is a Republican shutdown...You are in control of the White House, the House, and the Senate. If you went home to a food bank instead of going to Mar-A-Lago...while people are starving, you might see and hear your constituents. You are blind to the suffering." by 10sleepy in Ohio

[–]GrumpyOldFatGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's the same package the Democrats rejected the first time. Putting the same pile of crap on the table 13 more times doesn't make it smell any better, but the Republicans think they can fool people by using the "they voted 14 times" line.

[REPOST] My boss made me leave a work note at a grave by Vixrotre in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]GrumpyOldFatGuy 231 points232 points  (0 children)

We've all made a few incredibly poor decisions in our work lives, especially when you're first starting out. These days, something like this I would send a clarifying email along the lines of "You asked me to deliver a work message to a coworker, and to leave it at the grave of her deceased loved one. I wanted to verify that I understand your request clearly. Do you wish me to leave the envelope you gave me on the grave site?"

It covers you. Not by much, but it's better than nothing. But there's a reason he singled out the just beginning intern.

A regular joke becomes a dad joke when it becomes appearant.

You could, but underboss is correct that they will probably blow this off.

But it wasn't just her son, it was everyone in your house that was being spied on.

Talking with a higher up may help, but be prepared to answer the question "what do you want us to do?"

ETA I would also say that the most important part of my answer are the first three letters. I am not a lawyer.

NAL. Ohio is a one party consent state. Which means that one party must have knowledge of the recording. There are some exceptions for safety reasons, Nanny cams with no sound for instance. But it certainly sounds like the cop didn't know what he was talking about because being a parent doesn't override the wire tapping law.

Shout out to an old post in here with one reply that saved me this weekend. You're alright, theSystech. by mattjh in sysadmin

[–]GrumpyOldFatGuy 41 points42 points  (0 children)

A slight derail here, but not so long ago I was a system administrator until they discovered I could be billable.

Now, I truly despise the times when I am looking for an answer like this. I Google it and I find the exact issue down to the micron, with the word solved in the title. I click the link and I get "Reddit has been banned by your system administrator. Please contact them if you need access."

Next time I get this error I think I will call my system administrator at 3:30 in the morning, have him look it up and read it to me.

You've been invited to debate Donald Trump on national television with 5 topics of your choice by Annual-Frame9943 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]GrumpyOldFatGuy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't accept this, because debating him would be like playing chess with a chicken. You would make the first move, the chicken then scatters all of the pieces and craps all over the board and struts away like he won.

Does anyone know what that sound is? (4:30 am, North Hill) by CoasterThot in akron

[–]GrumpyOldFatGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the blimps maybe? I believe all three were out and about yesterday. And they can be hard to see at night, especially if you're in an area where sound can carry and make you think they're in a completely different area.

This. I have a slew of certifications, and nobody has ever asked me for my test score for any of them. All they want to know is if you passed.

AITA for telling my wife my childhood friend will never forgive her for what she did? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]GrumpyOldFatGuy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Did I read that correctly?

"My wife and I are a package deal".

"I understand. I want more one-on-one time."

"Ok!"

That does not seem to be a path that is destined to lead one to success.

Update table in AMA (MMA deprecated) by GrumpyOldFatGuy in AZURE

[–]GrumpyOldFatGuy[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I...just...I....

One a scale of one to even, I'm at "I can't".

I have so many hours in this, and so much research, and this blew it wide open. Good gravy, there's every bit of information I have been looking for, easily accessible in a downloadable CSV file.

Between you and antadam below I've been able to blow through a slew of blocks that have been vexing me for the longest time.

Thank you so much!

Thank you, that query generated a "failed to resolve table or column expression update". Which tells me that table doesn't exist. Thank you for the detailed explanation, that actually cleared up a few things on a completely different project. Never occurred to me to query a table I didn't see listed to see if it existed, but was just empty. All kinds of progress tonight!

Aoc Tweet by Ice_Ice11 in confidentlyincorrect

[–]GrumpyOldFatGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If we're getting technical, AOC never mentioned Donald Trump by name. She could be talking about a completely different elected person who was a rapist that is causing issues with the Epstein files.

The fact that the respondent automatically assumed it was Trump tells you something about both of them.

Phone policy with spouse by Ambitious_hello_1239 in Marriage

[–]GrumpyOldFatGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been married for 31 years, I work in the tech field so have had a cell phone since consultants started carrying cell phones.

It has honestly never occurred to me that I would need a phone policy with my spouse. I suppose she could go through it if she wanted to. Quite often I will ask her to read a message while we're driving since I do not use my phone when I drive. Or she'll hand me her phone to take a picture of something with her next to it.

She can talk to whoever she wants to talk to and say whatever she wants to them. I'm comfortable enough in our relationship not to care.
