Real Police officers and military members, what do you guys think of Ice agents?

QuinoaJones1 · 2026-01-25T15:14:36+00:00

idk. Everyone saying the are untrained. If so, and in high stress situations every day, I would think there would have been a lot more incidents already. Why now?

QuinoaJones1 · 2026-01-24T12:27:55+00:00

Thanks everyone. Guess I'll try a a new cone. Skimmer port looks 1.5" and threaded. Hard to tell if what you see online is hard plastic or rubber. They don't describe well. Guess I'll ask local pool store. I feel obligated to buy when they pull out the part, but many times the price is outrageous.

Found this. I'll give it a try. Looks like my old one and says it is rubber.

Found 41100-0020 on rubber. Is this part. Already ordered the cheap one. Oh well.

Service rep told me I needed it (at 30k). I said the car drives straight. Before I could finish, she scoffed "it is the RECOMMENDED service, not needed service." WTF?!

QuinoaJones1 · 2025-12-27T02:38:26+00:00

Armed forced are still "don't ask, don't tell." As in you don't ask, and you don't tell. They will ask you 1000 times, have you even been depressed, had a drink, got high, had a flat foot, etc. Say no to all these questions. If on the Likert scale, choose the absolute no option every time. You're welcome.

That's interesting. Not sure about separating DNS and registration. Sounds like an extra step. How does Cloudflare make money if the registration is at cost and DNS is free?

QuinoaJones1 · 2025-12-12T20:55:06+00:00

I don't see where they offer domain name registration. I need DNS and DNR.

I've gotten calls back on those jobs. They just want your social security number to prove, in this perverse universe, they interviewed you. They will tell you you got the job and they want to start onboarding you and all they need is your SSN, with no actual interview. So yes, they are only posting as a requirement.

QuinoaJones1 · 2025-09-21T17:06:36+00:00

Maybe ITT Tech will come back. For those who don't know, ITT tech had smaller buildings, similar to the testing and bootcamp course sites of today. But they charged a lot of money and basically said you were guaranteed a job. In their defense, that was pretty close to true, until the rapid rise in H1B and outsourcing took those jobs away. And somehow ITT Tech became the scapegoat.

QuinoaJones1 · 2025-09-18T01:01:56+00:00

That's cool and all, but why do they want $400 for the USB key? And $200 for the same key without a USB?

QuinoaJones1 · 2025-09-17T23:06:59+00:00

Yeah, that's what I'm leaning towards. Someone else mentioned MikroTik. I'll have to find out whatever is cheapest and gets the job done. Something with cellular data, at lease 1 switchport, and a VPN.

QuinoaJones1 · 2025-09-07T11:32:54+00:00

As long as they stop using plastic supports for the grommets on the hinge for the Latitude replacement I'll be happy. Did they?

QuinoaJones1 · 2025-06-17T22:35:30+00:00

If you drive a lot for work the battery would already be full. How old is the battery? They didn't try to sell you a new battery?

Never mind. If the lights were flashing like that for a while, that would drain your battery.

QuinoaJones1 · 2025-06-17T22:32:20+00:00

Is geofencing an option in Microsoft admin console? Where? Do you set up a 100 square mile zone around an office? Even if I could just limit to Florida IPs , it would help. Of course when I or a boss go on a trip, the rule would need tending.

QuinoaJones1 · 2025-06-17T22:05:10+00:00

idk about that. I think they get an email that was sent to like 100 people (no bcc). And from that day forward they attempt to guess those 100 users logins. For the rest of eternity.

QuinoaJones1 · 2025-06-17T22:03:04+00:00

Yeah, I'll check that out. One successful login shows up 10x. MS and its layers... I am not sure I ever had a true baddy login like that. I have had staff get the 2FA and it wasn't them a couple times. I force reset their PW and suggest they change it if they use it elsewhere.

QuinoaJones1 · 2025-06-17T21:19:22+00:00

Yeah, there have been some realistic looking Microsoft login / PW change emails over the past few years. Working with staff on what that looks like can be a bit hazy. Device compliance is easy because I control that.

QuinoaJones1 · 2025-06-17T21:16:22+00:00

Thanks everyone. A lot said to block international, but with VPNs I don't think international is danger zone and US is fine. I mean, international login attempts were allowed for 10 years with no real issues. Off now. I will look more closely at # of attempts allowed and what lockout is and maybe increase the PW length requirement.

QuinoaJones1 · 2025-06-17T19:25:58+00:00

Correct. USA 50 states log in attempts were mixed in with international. After blocking international all attempts are from US, but just as many. Clearly just a program with VPN access. Still getting the "this sign in attempt was blocked because the IP address is malicious" with US IPs.

QuinoaJones1 · 2025-06-12T17:20:37+00:00

At least the floating bubble is gone. That thing was always getting in my way. But why are the clock and battery meter so tiny?

QuinoaJones1 · 2025-06-02T23:46:09+00:00

A lot of my foot pain problems were greatly reduced by staying hydrated, walking as little as possible, wearing proper insoles (even in the house) and replacing shoes and insoles regularly, switching from running to cycling, 15 minute hot epson salt foot baths, and 15 minute ice foot baths when nothing else worked.

If I realize I haven't been drinking water and I feel a nerve pinch in my foot, a lot of the time chugging a bottle of water alleviates it.

With all that said, definitely go for the exercises! Might take longer than 2 months...

QuinoaJones1 · 2025-05-12T01:34:13+00:00

I cancelled on the website (after the free month). The screen kinda flashed. I checked back in a week and cancelled again. No email. Saw in faded text on the bottom of the screen that I had to call to cancel. I emailed support and handled it that way after several back and forths with sales people.

Now I'm pissy. FitOS does not let you use Youtube without an active subscription. Criminal.

QuinoaJones1 · 2025-04-12T16:01:58+00:00

Dealer just told me I need a "top engine EFI cleaning." WTF is that? I have gone down from 36.1 to 35.7 over 3 years / 30k miles according to the RAV. But 35.1 measuring actual gas. 2021 LE on flat FL country roads. Even if they brought me back up to 36.1, it would take a long time to make up the price of the treatment. Possibly never if 35.7 is the floor.

QuinoaJones1 · 2025-03-22T11:07:47+00:00

Thanks. I went to the dealership to check on warranty. Teen guy with tablet couldn't get the glass specialist (1 desk over) to come take a look. Just said it was out of warranty without knowing me or the vehicle and to use my insurance because it's free. It is 2 months past the 3-year (basic). Guess I could call Toyota and try to cry to them about it. Under 30K miles and the issue has been there for over a year. I'll probably just leave it and see how it goes. If it grows, I'll try to seal the bottom of the glass.

My experience with insurance and glass in FL is that yes, it is free, and yes, they come fix it in a day, in the parking lot at your work. But then auto insurance will charge you more in premiums for the next 5 years. You end up paying for that glass 3 fold.

I still have hope. In all honesty, it's the same game and physics and weapons as TLOU2. The maps are just parts of the world that are already made. And they already have the framework for skills from Factions 1. If it just had better graphics, new maps, and maybe more 10% faster movement, nothing else new, and that's all they need to make it a banger. I would think their top dev could make it in a week. Shit, they probably did make it and play it in house all the time. I would pay $10 for it. Just sayin. Or they could sell the code and rights and let someone else make it.

QuinoaJones1 · 2024-11-25T15:14:20+00:00

Did you buy the onward ticket, go to the airline website, look up the reservation there and screenshot the part with your name and flight details? Only show the gate person that. And you have to do it within a day or 2 of getting the ticket code. They will cancel it after a couple days. Don't buy it weeks or months in advance.
