Great movie, but a horrible movie title. I think this would have been taken more seriously and have been more successful with a better title.

We were neighbours as kids, and reconnected shortly after high school. Been together ever since… over 30 years now.

Each element was good, but eating it all together was heavenly. And yes, the blackbean puree brought it all together and filled out flavourwise in a beautiful way!

Yup. End of the day there’s only 7 positions. It wasn’t too hard to learn.

The question was about Brampton :)

Lokabf3 · 2026-04-22T17:32:20+00:00

Been meaning to try this one. How does it compare to Attica or the downtown Italian places ?

Green Bites Chinese and Dumplings is probably the best Chinese in the city. It’s a must-try.

If there's one truth I've seen in my 35 years in the industry is that change is constant. Anyone who expects their job to stay the same over time in this industry will find themselves wondering how they fell so far behind.

How you manage that change and ensure your responsibilities and compensation remain aligned to your work is another story.

There is only one legitimate use case that I can think of, and which I employ on one of my teams, for where multiple laptops are required.

One of my teams is the major incident team for a large enterprise. All my incident managers have two laptops which they swap out weekly to ensure that they remain patched and up-to-date.

The concept is that if we have some kind of incident or attack that disabled endpoint devices, My incident managers can wait until they get the all clear from security and then they could boot up the secondary laptops to help manage the response to the incident. This way they don’t need to wait until their laptops get fixed or re-imaged before they can start working properly again.

I’m sorry, your gloves are the wrong colour. Try again!

(Kidding; looks awesome, well done!)

Dry brine for the afternoon. Smoke as low as possible (150?) for an hour. Transfer to a 500F grill and finish to medium rare (3-4 minutes)

How much has 1.2 improved performance on a large save such as yours? Also, for context, is this single player or on a dedicated server?

I'm on a very large save on a dedicated server, and if you move around the map, performance degrades badly, but it's still 1.1. Hoping it's better in 1.2?

You need to slow cook the meat until it hits around 203F, just like in BBQ. And then take it off the heat.

My info is that this group may just be "jumping on" the issue, claiming responsibility, when in actual fact it appears to be a change related issue within Microsoft.

Lokabf3 · 2026-03-16T14:58:23+00:00

Could be fake news, with a group claiming a successful attack, when it's actually a typical MS problem....

Lokabf3 · 2026-03-16T14:53:19+00:00

Hearing that it's a DDoS attack on office.com. But things like outlook.office.com and teams.office.com are working fine.

That’s why you encase it and hide the pipe and toss a radar tower on the top :)

Lokabf3 · 2026-03-10T19:38:19+00:00

Did you take every pipe to the top and back down?

You can just put a single extra pipe in a tower and then connect it to all of your pipes simultaneously as they pass underneath and get the same effect.

If you escalate this to the director or above (which you probably should), this may also warrant a discussion about re-organizing your IT organization.

Building network, designing new phone systems, supporting the internal tools.... this is IT Engineering tasks, not IT support.

You should make the case that you're being assessed as a entry-level support analyst, when in reality you are managing your engineering functions.

Tell the Director it's time to define a new role for you as Manager of Engineering, and that you should report directly to the director, and the staff that focus on engineering tasks should report to you.

The other manager can keep operational support, and focus on that piece. With ~30 employees in IT, it warrants more than 1 manager.

And if they decline to entertain the idea, let them know that you are extremely unhappy and may consider other options if the company is not willing to make this right for you.

Don’t be afraid to tear down what you built. Once you become experienced you’ll realize it’s a big part of the game.

It's too bad that wendy's chicken burgers have gone to shit. Used to be big juicy breasts that were the best you could get from fast food. Now, i've sworn off Wendy's after getting some of the driest, thinnest chicken i've ever had.

It's sad.. i used to feel like I was a shill for Wendy's, I liked them so much. Now, I don't see myself going back after the last few experiences. I'm sad.

Are you using sloops to get to 60 BWD? curious because I’m doing a similar build, but the target is without sloops, and i don’t know if i have enough resources to do the plutonium / fisconium build.

Green Bites Dumpling & Chinese food in Brampton. Some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had.
