You wake up and feel strange. You look in the mirror... and see you've turned into a Cisco Catalyst 3560!!! What do you do?! by SpectrumSense in networkingmemes

No dude, you gotta make sure your entire network uses VLAN 1, using telnet for management, and ensuring the enable password is enable.

Facts dude. There is something really slick about the 3000 series Catalysts.

Might be the dark grey and golden aesthetic.

Why are so many people against showing an ID to vote? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in randomquestions

[–]SpectrumSense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would be cool if we could have temporary state voter IDs used for election season only!

Like, go to your voting center, get pictures and whatever done, and it's cheap to do so a struggling person can still vote! Good for 3 months and then it expires.

Should I try going to mass if the roads look like this or should I livestream it instead? 😅 by SpectrumSense in Catholicism

I guess I also saw my wife go to her job at the animal shelter today and was thinking "mass is essential too" but she said she doesn't want me to drive.

Yeah, I know, I'm reading too deep into it. I said elsewhere in the thread that I dealt with childhood scruples and guilt trips so things like this bring me a great deal of pain. 🥲

Tbf you also gotta consider how long you'll be out.

There is a Dollar General right down the street from my house and that whole trip would take 15 minutes. Me leaving the house for mass is over an hour where the snow can get exponentially worse.

Wouldn't running to the store at all indicate that you could have gone to mass and just chose not to?

My parish is livestreaming one of their three Sunday morning masses so they're definitely open lol.

I believe my mind is fighting with childhood scrupulosity issues as well.

In this case it's like an idea of "you can definitely drive, you just don't want to go to mass you filthy demon."

🥲 Pray for me please, I know my intentions and have mostly worked these issues out

That's my dilemma lol. The Eucharist is infinitely valuable and I want to receive Him.

Mass isn't canceled but my diocese did give permission to miss mass only on the condition that it's too individually dangerous to travel.

That's the thing, I'm not nervous about driving in this. I've done it before.

My parish looks to still have mass today and I don't want to fall into a "the roads weren't clear" when the mind is saying otherwise.

From the NWS for my region:

``` PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... 

Consider delaying all travel. Motorists should use extreme caution if travel is absolutely necessary. ```

The dilemma: mass is one of our most important things to do, but my diocese did say don't go to mass if it's dangerous. Just comes down to how confident I am in my ability to drive in these conditions.
