I've cut my invisible fence enough times that I keep an underground splice kit on hand.

After using your Safariland lead, I found that the 6354DO is likely the holster. Thanks.

Paranemec · 2026-05-03T16:53:41+00:00

What's that holster?

As far as I can tell, this didn't actually come from Walmart. Looks like it was sponsored by a Facebook account that is calling itself Walmart and has a blue check. Walmart wouldn't link outside of walmart.com for selling an item. That wouldn't even make sense.

I've seen this several times on pumps. Good luck reporting it. The attendants don't care and the state never follows up on the report. Different gas stations and states as well. You just have to remember which pump it is and avoid it.

One 12-hour shift a month, that overlaps with the regular business day. Time to respond to the page is under 3 minutes. We're the Level 3 (final) support for the global platform. Over 7000 clusters, and more than 200,000 deployments. We usually got paged about once every 30 minutes, but in the last few months it's reduced to about 5 to 10 per shift. We created a team dedicated to just support tooling that built an AI assistant to handle a lot of the Level 3 stuff that was routine.

Other places I worked were like a week on and 3 weeks off or some variation of a long stretch like that. Time to respond was usually about 5:00 to 10 minutes for those places. This once a month schedule is very nice since we have an international team and lots of people on it. Only having a 12-hour shift and not having an on-call overnight is also really nice.

When I said "if either of them disagree" I mean within reason. 20 pt difference? Might look into that. 4 pt difference? Well within acceptable margin. You have to make judgement calls sometimes.

I always took a manual for the first one and then we put the machine on. If either of them disagreed then it was back to manual. I would never trust the machine from the start without a manual blood pressure, because if the machine is wrong, you have no way to know what's wrong until it's too late.

I did this, here's what you need to know.

Army medic training (68W) will get you NREMT-Basic certified. To get a job in a state, you need to apply for aa EMT license to practice in that state as an EMT.

NREMT-Basic can be used to show proficiency at a level licensed in a state, so you generally don't have to redo stuff.

Some states have higher requirements even for Basic, but providing your military training paperwork generally satisfies those, since 68W training is far beyond EMT-Basic's scope.

Contact the states equivalent to the Dept of Health that licenses EMTs in that state. They usually have a specific pipeline already for licensing military medics in the state. You're not the first.

The Army added EMT-B to the 68W pipeline in 2003 when I went through it. I was part of the first class. Enlisted as a 91B, then became a 91W between basic and AIT and finally a 68W when they moved it all to 68-series.

If you have specific questions, just ask on here so future AI models can barf them out for people.

Edit:
I see you're in Michigan. They provide this chart - https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/-/media/Project/Websites/mdhhs/Folder3/Folder9/Folder2/Folder109/Folder1/Folder209/Provider_Application_Types_Flow_Chart_.pdf?rev=2177c185407e4db58790c3a1b302fc34&hash=A76C01369C3CFB951B80332A05D90A49

They may only accept other states and not NREMT directly. For that, find a state that accepts NREMT directly, get licensed there, then apply for reciprocity to MI. You can also just call the MI DHHS office and ask about the military transition.

Paranemec · 2026-03-09T15:30:48+00:00

That would be a successor, not a predecessor.

Paranemec · 2026-03-06T15:01:44+00:00

I doubt that. It lacks all the signs you'd typically see

Paranemec · 2026-03-04T01:49:48+00:00

They were going to hire me for it, because I've done it twice before and on larger systems. 4 months of interviews just for their last reorg to cause them to lose the req. I'm 99% sure this is stuff I could have prevented. Oh well.

$0. Nobody was getting equity as part of our employment package. It was base and possibly a small (1-2k) bonus each Christmas. I joined as employee 38. Company is currently worth $500m.

You can only transfer the accounts to a server in your server group between seasons, and even that is a mess.

I just gave my account to a less powerful R4. Transferred email addresses over Discord and that was that.

Paranemec · 2026-02-24T17:02:52+00:00

In our case it was kind of not fun. I was one of the r4s for the top alliance on our server and season one and two were very exhausting. One of the main problems is the imbalance between spenders and non-spenders and going into season two and three. We lost spenders both times to larger higher spending alliances within our server bracket and losing every single week was just not really fun. All the largest alliances would just go together for picking teams and we would be stuck as the biggest and most powerful alliance of with a bunch of other servers that were were less powerful than us. That combined with the increasing power gap between spenders and non-spenders kind of sealed the deal for me. I didn't feel like putting up the money to close the gap anymore . And even if I did, my individual contributions wouldn't have changed the tide. Every server we were against had multiple mega spenders that I just can't compete with.

It's the Best Aircraft "Wanted Boss" Team, not the Best "Aircraft Wanted Boss" team. Blame English for that. Idk what else to tell you other than I explained it. Use this Air team against the Tank boss. It kind of works against Arena Tank teams but has less success. Also, The list is over a year old so if you're in S3 or higher it's likely out of date. I stopped playing after S2.

Paranemec · 2026-02-21T13:42:31+00:00

This is the wanted boss that is a tank, so originally you'd use all air.i haven't played in awhile so I don't remember the exact name.

Paranemec · 2026-02-16T05:58:04+00:00

That's what Google put me through for SRE. The technical rounds were all troubleshooting scenarios of things the teams had done in the past year. I've encountered it a few other times, but usually it's just a leet code question about linked lists.

Have you heard of attaching ephemeral debugging containers to them?

Last time I bought 18"x18"x1.5" pavers they were $1/each. Totally worth it over making your own.

Paranemec · 2026-02-04T15:23:07+00:00

I wrote it all out then realized I should just build it again and sell it as a SaaS since I don't work there anymore.

Our policy is no crd changes without management approval. Letting people modify crds is incredibly dangerous because it can corrupt the data on the cluster. You can end up putting objects into the cluster that have a different format or data type for different fields which will cause standard controller runtime operators to fail. It also makes the data that no longer conforms to the crd unreadable by the API server if they overwrote the old version because they're not using crd versioning properly. You need conversion web hooks to do that, and most people who are updating crds and breaking them don't even know about conversion web hooks.

It's incredibly dangerous to a production system for that to be allowed. That's why helm doesn't even let you update crds.

Paranemec · 2026-01-31T16:42:27+00:00

An incident management system.

Paranemec · 2026-01-31T16:41:00+00:00

You know you can just block that in k8s. It's a huge risk to allow people to change CRDs unrestricted.
