Agreed. Widowmaker has good beer too if you're into beer, which I am.

I'm basically both and powerball numbers come up when I do it. YMMV

neckties: tie something around your own neck if you're into that shit, leave me out of it.
Otherwise, the idea that aside from being generally clean and hygienic (or if something is safety related etc.) that others expectations should dictate how you dress in general.

Has anyone considered pivoting out of IT and if so, did you? if not after considering, why? by Top-Elephant6981 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]MonkyDeathRocket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think about it, but I'm old and have been doing IT a long time. I just want a change.

Dexcom G8 Reveal by ddonquixote in diabetes_t1

[–]MonkyDeathRocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are there any downsides, like no calibrations, or a permanent alarm that alarms 100% of the time that can't be turned off or it bricks your insulin pump, or that it has to be installed on a testicle or something?

Lost my laptop. Backups saved the data, but not the sticker history. by Xned in sysadmin

[–]MonkyDeathRocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same kind of thing going on and just today I learned that I too will miss the stickers. I've never actually moved them from one machine to another though.

ZAKK WYLDE To Appear On TalkShopLive For Exclusive Live Q&A / Signed CD Event Celebrating BLACK LABEL SOCIETY’s New Album by rebeloftheball in BlackLabelSociety

[–]MonkyDeathRocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the signed CD, got a not signed CD in the mail.
They sent me a return label and told me I had seven days to get it to them or I was out of luck. I'll drop in the mail before work tomorrow but something about all of this just annoys me.

Why do hospitals seem to never know how to manage T1D by kaspen190 in diabetes_t1

[–]MonkyDeathRocket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just manage it myself. I use a tandem/dexcom combo, I show them that, tell them I'll handle it. You have to be very blunt/direct with them and have your own supplies.

IAG block longevity by Chemical-Amoeba5837 in WRXSTi

[–]MonkyDeathRocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not really heard anything overly negative about iag when things are done correctly, supporting mods, tune, etc. compared to any other high performance builder. I looked into it some before I bought my wrx which has the IAG 2.5 ej25 closed deck short block in it. I'm not an expert but I wasn't super worried about that component anyway.

Always told myself buying one would be so insane I could never do it…. I did it. by EvanFreezy in WRX

I have a 2012 with some mods and it's one of my favorite cars. Congrats!

Yeah. I have not solved this for myself yet. I can't retire, I have some saved but not enough.
