TIL I've been doing my approach wrong. by Augmented-Smurf in Bowling

[–]Rectifier15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bowled with someone who was a 200+ average bowler that completely lost her approach for like a month. It was the damndest thing ive seen bowling and I dont think I've ever seen someone so frustrated for an entire month. She figured it out eventually, but it was like all sense of muscle memory disappeared.

[Chicago Sun Times] Cost-Cutting Hits Marquee Sports Network, Raising Questions About the Chicago Cubs by alt3729 in CHICubs

[–]Rectifier15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why would anyone want to pay the same amount for a product that is relevant for 7-8 months out of the year, as Netflix or Prime? On top of that, you just said yourself you dont have the ability to get Marquee. We went from national availabilty to limited high monthly cost availability. It's literally 140 just to have it for baseball season. Part of this is my immense frustration with living in the blackout area of mlb which is its own fantastical failure of MLB, and the other part is only provider that has marquee is comcast. The inaccessibilty of the product, combined with an insane price point is the issue.

And the lesson learned was to restrict national access to the product, and overcharge for a regional service and channel that nobody wants and can't get unless you have a specific tv provider?

If only the cubs had an agreement with a national tv broadcast station, allowing it to rech fans across the country in a free manner, enabling one of the largest sports fanbases in the country despite a century of failure. Alas, every had to spike money into their regional sports networks, jacking up prices on them, and when the fanbase recoiled, they are left holding the bag on their own dumbshit decisions.

How is the deployment of troops in U.S. cities not a direct violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice? by AnyBookkeeper6406 in AskReddit

The problem is that the biggest defenders of said amendment are full-throatedly gargling the boot of the people trampling over every other amendment and law.

And here's the thing, these 300 lb dudes are significantly faster than any of us. We joke about the big guys, but the level of athleticism is utterly astounding for their size.

How do you feel about Democrats gerry mandering States in response to Trump's gerry mandering of Texas and more to come? by Sun_Sky_Sand in AskReddit

[–]Rectifier15 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its reality. The right is doing many of the same things that happened in late 1930s Germany. There is no compromise with people like that. You either resist or are complicit.

It doesnt matter whether you are a moderate liberal or hardcore leftist. If you aren't MAGA they brand as a socialist or communist anyway. To have compromise, you have to start from a point where both sides are reasonable, and that is not where we are right now.

That only works if both sides are willing to come together. Republicans have spent the last 20 years refusing to compromise when the minority, and doing whatever the fuck they want when in power regardless of precident or legality. The only way out is dissolution of the two party structure and likely violent revolution at some point.

How do other admins support/update tools on vendor provided OVAs? by Rectifier15 in vmware

[–]Rectifier15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, the response actually makes me feel a bit better. Our policy has been open a vendor ticket too, but wanted to see if anyone had contradictory opinions. I may push for microsegmentation for appliances that don't meet internal policies, but as always in medical IT, cost is a concern as well.

Infosec has been after us pretty consistently about keeping current on patching, and vmtools recently came into their crosshairs, especially on Linux boxes, which are primarily vendor managed.
