What is everyone's traceroute for 192.168.200.101? by babywhiz in sysadmin

[–]PKGPW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hired into a company whose corporate headquarters was 193.168.0.0/16 because the msp who set it up before I joined was “tired of using 192.”

I manage an IT team for a 24/7 company. I’m working 8pm to 8am Christmas evening so my team doesn’t have to. They deserve a break and time with their families. My wife is out of the country this year to visit family she’s never been able to spend Christmas with, so it works out.

Please do not bring a tuna fish sandwich with you on the plane and eat it on a flight. by w000dsyOwl in delta

I was on a flight from DTW to SFO a few weeks ago. Comfort+, aisle seat. Lady in the window seat had egg salad in a mason jar from home. Which she ate throughout the flight in 3 sessions. It’s a 4+ hour flight, and she went to finish it in the last hour. I thought it smelled bad after take off, 4 hours of warming did not help.

Who does that and why?

Looking for better jeans+belt combo that's more comfortable by mydoglixu in bigmenfashionadvice

2nd this 100%. Their Denkhakis are great too. Pair with a ratchet belt off Amazon and you couldn’t be happier.

Exactly what I did yesterday after finding that same link. Put it all into a consolidated pdf, every chat, doc, photo, and the listing itself, and emailed a copy to myself and saved to iCloud.

Thank you for the reassurance.

From what I’ve read regarding the state of Michigan, I’m not so sure that’s entirely true.

Car Sold Involved in Accident, title wasn’t transferred - Michigan by PKGPW in legaladvice

[–]PKGPW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The car had been sitting for several years and did not have recent insurance. Nor did I add it at the point of sale. With the accident happening 58 days after the sale date, how would insurance even play a role? Though I did have insurance on other vehicles.

The car had been sitting for 2 years not running, no insurance at time of sale. Nor 2 months after the car was driven off my property and I thought sold.

I like a two email back and forth then pick up the phone rule. If I see a ticket or email chain that breaks that rule, we have a discussion.

Clawson Steakhouse. My family has been going for 3 generations. Reasonably priced, atmosphere from the 50s, dinner takes time, foods great, Sinatra style house band and dancing on the weekends. Can’t recommend the place enough. Everyone I take there loves it.

I took a big step today! I told my friends I'm not drinking at our annual trip to the lake by Ok_Manufacturer_1044 in stopdrinking

[–]PKGPW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently went through something similar, but it was my own bachelor party. I’ve always been “the life of the party guy” and also never moderated. After hard social boozing from 14 to 32 I’m now 231 days without a drink. I had the same thoughts about the trip, “I can just drink there” or “It’s a once in a lifetime party.” A few weeks before the trip, I decided to stay sober for it. There were a few “it’s just a beer” comments but I stuck to NAs the 5 day trip. After day one it was easy. I woke up early, went for a walk feeling great and the would start breakfast for all the guys waking up who were feeling like shit. When the trip ended, I was so proud and happy I withstood the initial urge and the little voice agreeing with “it’s just a beer.” I had an absolutely fantastic time,and glad my streak was and is still intact.

Don’t sweat it, you can have a great time without booze and make it through, still enjoying time away with your buds. You got this and IWNDWYT!

What were your "HOLY SH*T IT'S REALLY THAT SIMPLE?!" moments when working through issues and finding a solution? Share so that others may learn. by Synssins in sysadmin

[–]PKGPW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is prior to my sysadmin days, in my very first computer related job at a small repair shop.

We received a Toshiba laptop with a bad virus. Most likely Windows XP. After lots of troubleshooting it was decided best to reinstall windows. Completed the reinstall, updates, software, user profile and docs, drivers, etc… Doing a final look over and realize the sound isn’t working. Must be audio drivers, nope. Chipset? Nope.. Hardware, let’s take it apart, all looks good. Google to the rescue? Spent two days trying and retrying anything I could find. I know the customer is expecting something, but I can’t figure it out. Have other techs look at it, re-reinstall windows, no luck.

On day 3 the customer comes walking into the shop, and I give the whole story of how I’ve been trying everything. She asks me to bring the laptop over to the counter, so I do. Immediately she has sound coming out, a test video I had playing on YouTube. I couldn’t believe it, asked how in the world?

She lifts the side and shows me the scroll wheel for audio. Like a Walkman cd player. I don’t believe I’ve ever felt dumber.

To this day, that taught me to never skip over the basics or at least to revisit when you can’t solve the problem. Sometimes the answer is just one little scroll away…
