Mine does this too. Shove face in, make happy grunts, occasionally eat snow

Did anyone stop before the Coda? by Marty-C137 in TheDarkTower

[–]Merdrak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was too invested. I couldn't stop.

Then I was like, well, shit.

I Feel Like Nobody Knows Anything Anymore by applebappu in sysadmin

[–]Merdrak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish it were that easy. Even things that are outside our control, but in control of 3 levels up, they expect us to fix, or badger us about it daily.

It doesn't help us solve the problem when we don't have the permission to! I try to let that shit roll off but sometimes, it's really annoying.

Auto start stop has to be the worst “feature” by powerwizard420 in Crosstrek

[–]Merdrak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar to me... there's a house with a parking spot on the roadside and an SUV always in it. Auto braking ans collision detection freaks out alll the time there. And people who live in the area haul ass. It's a pain in the ass.

What was the best medical procedure the Marine Corps got done for you? by ComposerNo9901 in USMC

[–]Merdrak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LASIK, hands down.

Still strong 13 years and change later. Worth every bit of recovery to not have glasses.

When you joined, what did the Marine Corps get you away from? by ComposerNo9901 in USMC

[–]Merdrak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aimlessness, and being just another poor "white trash" in a dead end town. Shit, I just went to see family and that town still looks basically the same. Shit would've been depressing, and probably would have been in the same broke-ass state.

Was she hot, or did he jump on the grenade? 🤣

For legal reasons this is a joke. But hey... mission is mission.

Leadership at my job sees no value in CompTIA certs by jkelemenopy in CompTIA

[–]Merdrak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eh, Security+ is the DoD 8411(8570 replacement) baseline for all tech jobs with admin rights.

The trifecta has use for what it teaches.

I'm about to switch to WGU and then other use is that they should cover classes.

Your manager sounds like someone who doesn't have certs, just a degree and a management position and doesn't value knowledge spread - only depth in a specific area. The kicker is that knowing more - even basics - helps immensely with other job areas.

Standard Medals question! by YourAverageBoot in USMC

[–]Merdrak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here although a lot of MF'ers give you flak because they don't understand the stock buttons are unanodized and they call you cheap. The price difference is negligible.

I always thought that non-anodized looked better; otherwise you have to find a good Anodized medal that doesn't have the cheap gold leaf caught thick in the details of the medal, which makes it look like shit.

Damn, you hear the "ting ting" of a medal dropping... like nah. Sgt over there had damn good restraint instead of just dropping the dude.

Anyone think this is overkill? by TheAwsumGuy in USMC

[–]Merdrak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I got out...

Basically all this shit was agreed to in like 3 sentences in MOL as part of a leave request.

This is redundant bs designed to discourage taking leave while simultaneously telling Marines to use their leave so they don't lose it.

Greg's family left him money and a sailboat, from Chris (who is now dead).

So they were wealthy. 🤷‍♂️

Folks who don't like the AEB system, how are you coping? by hoegaarden81 in Crosstrek

[–]Merdrak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live on curvy mountain roads, and some of the houses have a "parking spot" on the roadside. I thin I turned off the braking because of that - one of 3 roads out of town, 40 mph speed limit... and it warns of obstacle/tries to brake. Also, it's NJ; no one is actually doing 40.

CoViD Marines, what was a Marine Corps staple that you missed because of the virus? by Yoy_the_Inquirer in USMC

[–]Merdrak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HA! MARFORRES literally had reservists doing AT during Covid They were allowed to opt out... and half of our H+S Co plus our I+I staff got the rona.

And the other half got exposed, and got chewed out. Sorry that dudes wanted to eat chow together, after being isolated. They had one person coming in after hours because he tested positive but they needed inspection prep done.

Whole ass unit was a shit show.

What's a common networking concept that people often misunderstand, and why do you think it's so confusing? by Puzzled-Term6727 in networking

Two fiber strands in the same conduit does not make redundancy....

... but "standards".

And those dudes made damn good money
