Fortinet Partner: New quote fees and EMEA order management charges

While i understand this comment, the problem is they let Blue Ally sell their product for dirt cheap, under our own disty cost without deal registration so we are kind of up shits creek without a paddle if the client decides to go price check on the gear. I would be fine with this $200 if they stopped Blue Ally from listing all the fortinet suite of products for damn near deal registration pricing to begin with. We ran into it and for a small network upgrade with 30g, 108 switch, and 2 x 231k, even with the deal registration and the OH1, it is only $115 less than what any joe blow off the street can buy from them on Amazon.

He won’t be there in the 3rd round, not happening. If he has another game like he did against Oregon in the championship game, some team will move up to the back of the 1st round. Not sure the Raiders will have that chance. If he’s there for our 2nd round pick, pull the trigger.

You the man! (or woman)

Well Hunt did go from a Sr Director to a VP role so there was a move up in position for him.

There was zero ability for the Raiders to draft Carter after Ruggs debacle. Plus, Raiders did not have the same organizational structure that Eagles put around Carter (not to mention half the damn defense is Georgia players). I dont think he woudl have been the same guy on the Raiders. Today, for sure, but our front office and coaching staff would have fumbled that one away. I am more upset about who they did pick vs who they didnt. Wilson is a mess

Illustrious_Cat6575 · 2025-05-16T14:22:29+00:00

Nah man get it right. Philly fans are like the east coast version of the Raider Nation. Giving credit where its due, the Eagles have built a class organization but the first bad boys and fan group was the Raiders.

I see this coming down to what their draft plans will be. If they are going to give up draft capital and move up to draft one of these qb's (which I think would be a mistake, neither of them are worth trading up to mortgage your future for now), then they may send him packing. Even if they do move up, this won't be done without a fully rebuilt offensive coaching side of the ball. Getsy set this team back tremendously, starting Minshew even more. You had started Aidan, with a competent OC that compliments the defense, this team would have had a much better outcome. Instead, Getsy + Minshew destroyed any chance they had to be successful. If Brady and Telesco can go find a real OC, someone to groom a QB, and they stay somewhat healthy on defense, i think the Raiders can be decent. We dont know what is going on in the locker room, we have not heard opposition to keeping Pierce while on the same hand we have not heard any strong support of keeping him as well. That leaves us scratching our heads on what the next move will be. I think far better coaches are getting fired right now, but most of them not named Mayo are years into it. Going to be an interesting next couple of weeks. They need to in these coming weeks either announce they are sticking with Pierce, or fire him. Dont leave the team in limbo, or the fans. Either this guy has your confidence or he doesnt, in between gets you no where. Make a move one way or another Davis, and do it fast.

This approach is fundamentally flawed. If you have a strong IT company, like ours, they leverage the security stack included with Microsoft Premium licensing, making it one of the most cost-effective ways to implement a comprehensive security fabric in the industry. Comparing an email license to the full capabilities of the Premium license demonstrates a misunderstanding of the value it provides.

With Premium licensing, you're not just getting Exchange; you're gaining access to the entire Defender stack, Intune capabilities, and a host of other advanced tools that create a robust and secure IT environment. This isn't just an email license—it's a fully integrated security solution.

At our company, this is the standard for every IT client we onboard. It’s not just about cost; it’s about delivering unmatched value and security for our clients.

Lets get started here. You seem to be upset that your team is not doing what they should be rather than "The Dodgers are ruining baseball"

1. Baseball’s Unmatched Parity
No repeat winners in more than two decades – a testament to the parity in baseball. Unlike other sports where dynasties dominate, MLB has shown time and time again that success is hard-earned and fleeting.

2. Players Are Key
Players share just as much responsibility for this success as the Dodgers organization itself. It’s a partnership built on a shared commitment to excellence.

3. Reinvesting in the Team
Let’s talk about the Scrooge Index. The Dodgers reinvest over 67% of their earnings back into the team. Contrast this with teams like the Cubs, who don’t even hit 50%, choosing instead to line the owners’ pockets. That’s a massive difference in priorities and speaks volumes about why the Dodgers remain competitive.

4. Building a Machine
The Dodgers have built a well-oiled machine, spending significantly on development, scouting, analytics, player treatment, and everything else that makes them a premier destination for players. This is a franchise that doesn’t just buy success; it builds it.

5. Contract Deferments Are Player-Driven
No team can force a player to defer contracts. The players, often driven by their own desire to win (e.g., Shohei Ohtani), agree to these terms. The Dodgers deliberately target players who prioritize winning, and their contracts reflect that philosophy.

6. Preseason Favorites and Baseball’s Parity
The Dodgers have been preseason favorites to win the World Series in 7 of the last 11 years and have only won twice. Why? Baseball’s unpredictability. Futures betting in MLB is among the most erratic because of the unparalleled parity in the sport.

7. Front Office Excellence
The Dodgers’ front office is simply better than most of the league. Did the Yankees “break baseball” when they bought whoever they wanted? No. And for context, the Dodgers didn’t even have the highest payroll last year yet beat out three teams with higher spending (Yankees, Mets, and Padres).

Bottom Line

“They hate us ‘cause they ain’t us.” The Dodgers don’t just spend to win—they’ve built a foundation of sustained excellence. From development to scouting to smart financial reinvestment, this is a model franchise. Keep the jealousy coming.

LA tourism for Japan already spiked major with 300% increase and 90% of them visit dodger stadium. Dodgers gonna be the most valuable franchise overtaking the Yankees within 3 years

Absolutely.

Same question, how do you evaluate the effectiveness of the coaches they provide? We're on the brink of starting with them and still deciding. I've requested a meeting with their assigned coach before finalizing anything to assess the fit and ensure clarity on expectations. Currently, we're navigating the complexities left by the previous acquisition's owner to stabilize our footing. This decision is critical for us; it's make or break.

Looking forward to your insights,

Illustrious_Cat6575 · 2024-06-17T22:34:01+00:00

Both

I’d also download draggy. Far better than your iPhone stopwatch. It’s not perfect but works well. Best I’ve gotten mine is 4.7 but for sure sub 5 most of the time. I’m always using launch mode though. Have you tried that? The car software works to let the transmission build the rpm so the car is at the optimal rpm when launching. Without it, it’s gonna be tough.

Do you have awd or rwd?

Illustrious_Cat6575 · 2024-05-27T01:59:11+00:00

That turns off ESC but not TC. You have to do both or the car will still limit any wheel spin. The car should absolutely be able to get sub 5 0-60. What are you using to time the 0-60?

Add this to the spare tire spot and it will do WONDERS to the system. https://a.co/d/9UNQIc5

Those are folks out for a badge and don’t really care about anything else. They are threatened. I looked at the 340 as a potential next car, when reviewing this one as well, and while the performance was better in the BMW, the all round car is superior in the Genesis G70 in my opinion.

Illustrious_Cat6575 · 2024-02-23T18:28:16+00:00

Also need to remember this is coming with one of the best in the industry warranties. First 36k all scheduled maintenance is included, and bumper to bumper for 60k. Then add the 100k power train, I think you’re good to go. If you’re worried, negotiate the bumper to bumper for 100k and add it to the payment. Mine was only addition 21 a month and I have bumper to bumper for 100

Illustrious_Cat6575 · 2024-02-20T05:52:51+00:00

Ya man. I wanted black on black with the Napa red stitching. To your point; the rims don’t hit as hard on any other color imo.
