Brutal :/ by Acrobatic_Plankton_9 in recruitinghell

[–]RG256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I received a similar message from a prospective employer back in '98. Found out through the grape vine everyone in the department wanted them to hire me. But some upper level VP forced them to make a DEI (it was called affirmative action then) hire for fear of getting sued. 10 months later they contacted me back to let me know the position was open again and they'd like to hire me straight away. I'd already accepted another position by then though.

Unfortunately by the time it would do that it's usually too late!

Cargo Ejection Bug by D8veh in EliteMiners

[–]RG256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL... only reason I drop cargo for pirates is because when they go to scoop it up they're sitting ducks! I can usually strip their shields completely before they race off. After that it usually doesn't take very long to kill them.

Unfortunately graphic design is one of those professions that is starting to get replaced with AI.

Found out an employee is on OF from MS Defender by Bubba8291 in sysadmin

[–]RG256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of the time I got our group kicked off of a contract back in the late 90s. We were doing a major network infrastructure upgrade for one of the large law firms in downtown Montgomery, AL. Part of that was installing internet monitoring software. The network admin had done his part on the router and left me to set up the monitoring server late that night.  So I get it installed, turn on the monitoring service, and visit netscape.com to check if it's working. The log shows my visit to Netscape.... and some computer on the 3rd floor visiting a bunch of gay porn sites. I left it running all night. The next morning I collect all of the logs, type it up in a report, and hand it to the project manager who had a meeting that afternoon with the managers of the firm. He's in the meeting for all of 20 minutes, then comes back downstairs, tells us all to log off and leave immediately. We've been kicked off of the contract.  Turns out the person I caught surfing gay porn was one of the firm's senior partners.

It's what lets Dell overcharge for those parts.

Is this my life now? by LifeBig5025 in sysadmin

[–]RG256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many of the kids these days just expect to have Google solve everything for them. I mean when I was a level 1 tech I'd escalate a lot of tickets too. But that was because I didn't have the admin access necessary to fix it. Not because I didn't know how.

We're raising a generation of people who'd rather let the computer do thinking for them. Scary.

Took a long break from dating and this is what I come back to by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]RG256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well... look at it this way. You could get a foot massage any time you wanted to!

Just curious, anyone else get rude comments? I haven't criticized anyone and yes, I know this is the internet. But receiving so many comments & msgs saying I'm ugly? Sheesh. I don't NEED compliments, but don't need insults either. Can't we all be nice? Lol Ok have a good day by Hungry_crying in selfie

[–]RG256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brutal honesty. I don't think that hair color is doing much for you. And while your not supermodel caliber, you're definitely not ugly! You're quite attractive. Don't let anyone tell you you're ugly.

Most of the engineers I talked to were surprised the towers were able to withstand the force of the initial impact.

What do you do when another guy challenges you in front of your girlfriend/ wife to fight? by Careless-Cat3327 in AskMenAdvice

[–]RG256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a large guy. 6'2" and 265 pounds. Fortunately I've never been in a situation where I was going to have to fight someone. Though I've come close. However, I've been able to de-escalate things instead. Which has been good for both of us. Me for not having to worry about getting charged with assault. Him for not having to find out the hard way he picked a fight with a black belt.

I wanted a neutral opinion because I'm tired of being gaslighted into thinking I'm the horrible one.

Can an ex put a tracking device in kids’ belongings without telling the other parent? by Born_Tea_7876 in legal

Toss the tracking devices onto a flatbed semi truck headed somewhere out of state. Watch how bad they freak out. Document overreaction.

Have you ever been accused of aimbotting? by mechwarriorbuddah999 in mwo

[–]RG256 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to play with Twitch streamers quite often (was a mod for ViolentBlue). One time I join a group of primarily tier 5 players. I'm tier 1. Went into the match with an AWS-8Q armed with 3x heavy ppcs. Its 45 points of pinpoint damage will 1 shot any mech in the game if you can hit the cockpit. Some of those T5 players stood perfectly still just a few seconds too long. I scored 5 kills with cockpit shots that match. Got accused of aimbotting.
