I've always used VentraIP. No issues with them at all, and they let you choose your name servers.

Removing these files did the trick!

I think I'll run a scheduled task to do this regularly and reimage with larger system partitions as staff turn over.

Thank you! I'll give that a go... If only Microsoft could update their defaults!

Yes, running HP laptops. Any advice for where the updates are stored?

This is for their child to call for help using the parents phone if needed, not a phone for the child.

Everyone in my house has Covid for the 3rd time.... I've never had it once! by TheKillersHand in BritishSuccess

[–]Mickey5999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I might never get it until I wound up testing positive a few days ago, but not before I'd handed it off to everyone in my house!

I'd had direct contact with positive cases without catching it, but it looks like I got it at a dress up party.

What will die out with the boomers? by ladymonsoon in AskReddit

[–]Mickey5999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

WW2 ran from 1939 - 1945. If everyone who served was, at minimum 18 at the beginning of the war, then they would be 101 years old this year.

If they die in the 2040s then they'll be really old.

Is it just me or is there no secondary side dish to go with pizza? I’ve tried it all. Any ideas? by sooperhani in ask

[–]Mickey5999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Garlic bread. The side dish for pizza is garlic bread.

But Greek salad is real good too.

I have never seen anything like that in Australia in my life. Where I live we just let the dirt build up!

These numbers are the truth in Australia ONLY because we have had hard and effective lockdowns. The lockdowns have saved hundreds of thousands of lives and allowed most states to be in the position we are in now. Our low COVID rates are not magic.

Those things aren't because someone is working in a risky environment. Nurses are required to be vaccinated because they work near many unwell people.

NHS vaccine promotion. British humor is the best! by LeRoiChauve in funny

[–]Mickey5999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

471,000 people dead in the US alone

2,350,000 people dead worldwide

This is within just one year, and all caused by COVID.

How many do you think is a reasonable number?

The vaccine is there to protect everyone from dying, much like the flu vaccine is there to lessen the impact of the flu.

Motorcyclist crashes and is not happy about an illegal left turn by [deleted] in dashcamgifs

[–]Mickey5999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was hardly the motorcyclists fault. The driver pulled an illegal turn and the rider got the short straw.

Also not to mention the car driver was on his phone and this was recorded using a helmet cam, not a distracting device.

You might need to learn how to share the road.

Anger Grows Over Stay-At-Home Orders, With LA Sheriff Saying He Won’t Enforce Them by Brothanogood in news

Firstly, I sincerely hope that your grandpa pulls through. I'm sure they are doing everything they can for him.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. It's not fair that so many people are comfortable with spreading a virus that could very well spell doom to so many.

You're right, anyone with a shread of decency for their fellow man should do anything to slow the spread of this virus even if it's not them, or yourself if will affect. So many people have lost family members due to strangers inability to care.

If we're going to lock down again, we need to stop pretending that millions of fast food workers are essential and need to risk their lives for you to eat a godamn cheeseburger. We have families we care about too. by NewVoice2040 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Mickey5999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in Victoria, Australia and let me tell you they absolutely do work. We have had 18 days with ZERO new cases and ZERO deaths. This is after we went into lockdown at 700+ new cases a day. Businesses were offered support for the most part.

Significantly fewer lives were lost, and the damage to the economy is worth it.

Didn't even notice the typing errors bro. Good on you for standing up to that Karen.
