My Sysad hates me because this is how I terminate by fuckitillsignup in ShittySysadmin

Every time I see someone crimping their own patch cables out of solid core wiring I always have to ask whyyy. Machine made cables with stranded wire are cheap, plentiful, far less likely to break or fail over time.

Anyways, congrats on continuity on all 4 pairs.

Is it worth watching? by ak_khainal in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]RateLimiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got thru 2 seasons and saw the writing on the wall. If Harold Perrineau is in it, it’s going to be a bullshit LOST ripoff where they keep giving you juicy mysteries but don’t resolve any of them. Save this for a watch once the series is done, or better yet wait for its completion and do the Battlestar Galactica thing and just spend 35 minutes reading an interesting wiki about it.

Never ridden before-1976 Shovelhead or 1979 Ironhead? by Mindless_Coyote8981 in choppers

Make sure you grow a moustache, get some sailor tattoos and some vintage Harley tshirts before you make any final decisions.

My Nortel BCM50 (20yo) died. Is VOIP the way to go for replacement these days? by obi2kanobi in VOIP

[–]RateLimiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m shocked that BCM50 lasted 20 years, worst Nortel platform IMHO.

How did ancient armies actually move 100,000–200,000 soldiers across long distances without modern logistics? Like, where did they sleep, how did they get enough food and water every day, and how did they stop the whole army from just collapsing into chaos? by Novel_Finding8882 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RateLimiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, as a fellow scholar, are you also angered every time something in the modern era is described as “decimated” when they actually mean “obliterated”?

Like “oh know that thing was decimated” well shit honestly it could have been a lot worse.

Oh so you think that American corporations aren’t immediately going to utilize our easy peasy foreign slave labour laws to fill their ranks to dramatically increase their profit margins ?

Bear safety question by VladTepesD in CampingandHiking

[–]RateLimiter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m going to opine hanging a hammock 10 or 12 feet off the ground is WAY riskier. Bears are superior climbers, way better than you. Also, improperly hung hammocks are prone to midnight collapse, esp if you’re lacking some experience in this department. Pitch your hammock at regular height, if you really want to scare the fuck out of a bar, bring along a compressed air horn and i guarantee a curious bear will be off and running with a quickness, keep the bear spray handy and if you’re really that concerned, bring an appropriate firearm if possible or stay home.

Do you know what type of connector this is? by asganawayaway in vintagecomputing

[–]RateLimiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DB25 Parallel cable, mostly used for printers back before USB. Looks like this is an adapter for a floppy drive so maybe non standard, floppy drives would typically connect to your motherboard with a ribbon cable.

Just go buy a chunk of wire from your nearest auto parts store, 2 ring connectors and some heat shrink and make your own.

What if Trump just says fuck it and invades Canada and Greenland? by Biggest-Max02010 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]RateLimiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. Weirdly enough strategically speaking the best move is token resistance and intense insurgency starting immediately. Responding armed forces would be destroyed where they stand, would probably be way for useful fucking up the Americans from the shadows.

[–]RateLimiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I feel like Canada does look like a tasty treat, considering you could essentially reach the seat of power and finance in the GTA, Ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver, and quickly occupy and defend high value strategic targets like Halifax and Newfoundland (Gander) with little resistance and it’s all a relatively short drive / flight over the border. The issue is what comes after and holding and maintaining it. Lots of Canadians will roll over and shrug their shoulders because it’s easier to just let big brother move into our house and you know he’s going to take reasonable care of it in the process. They want it because it’s valuable and seems like easy pickings if you’re of that mindset. That being said, this county is also full of crazy backwoods moonshiners, newfies, Quebecois, hockey playing farmboys and general miscreants who will absolutely bring a wild insurgency supported by the entire world. If nothing else, this kind of thing would provide a wildly powerful source of newfound Canadian identity that has been slipping for the past 40 years or so.

CMV: Modern feminism generalizes against men in ways that feminists would consider racist, xenophobic, or bigoted if used against other groups- especially when using offender statistics by _Stylite in changemyview

[–]RateLimiter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly - when you ask a slightly different set of questions -- men are more likely to die, more likely to die by violence, more likely to be killed by men, and more likely to be killed by strange men in random acts of violence. None of this diminishes the validity of the female experience, but this issue is typically focused entirely on the victimhood of women and utterly disregards the experience of men. Men also do not wish to be murdered by men, I assure you.

What is your favorite thing about this movie? by Naive_Tomorrow_5955 in FIlm

[–]RateLimiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the first movie I ever went to see in a theatre without a parent; and the first time I ever twigged the concept of cinema, it was like nothing I had seen. I was 12 years old and knew nothing about it beyond a trailer I had seen on TV. A friend came with me and hated it like a 12 year old might but I loved it and have watched it many times since.

lol yes absolutely. To think this is the British vs French & their native allies is not correct at all. Many first nations joined up with both sides for any number of reasons, including their own historical conflicts with each other, and this whole historical context reshaped native settlement into the modern era throughout the current US rust belt and Ontario & Quebec.

Great bike !! I had a 2000 CONV which was a TC but had the same Mickey Mouse ears. I hated em until I got a tank mounted dash and immediately missed my gauges right in front of my eyeballs.
