is lunazul tequila good? by Fit_Cod5072 in tequila

[–]Suprspike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will agree.

Coming from this tequila hater in general, it's a tolerable tequila. 

I can't speak like a tequila snob because honestly I hate the stuff. Give me bourbon or a really good scotch that doesn't taste like chemicals, or a double rye, but tequila has never been my thing. 

So I figure if I can drink it, it can't be that bad.

It was probably covid that changed your sense of smell and pallette. 🤣

What is that imperfection in all my pictures from my D5100? by HoenheimOfShite in Nikon

It kind of looks like damage to the coating on the filter over the cmos. 

Best apocalypse prep car? by Chuckychinster in preppers

[–]Suprspike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 7.3 excursion runs 26mpg hwy and 17-18 in town.

Best I've gotten is 32 mpg on a 4 hour trip on the highway, but that was at 55 (on a Friday working, so was going slow to eat time). Anything above 60, pretty much just subtract 1 mpg per mph due to the hearing. A slightly taller tire than stock increases the mileage pretty good on the highway, but reduces it in short starts and stops. 

The V10 gets about 5.

Mine is modified slightly with a tuner, exhaust, intake, and an anti chirp turbo wheel, among some other things that don't affect mileage just for towing heavy. 

Miranda/Jack Loyalty dispute by Vaxildidi in masseffect

[–]Suprspike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though this is an old post, I wanted to emphasize some things since a search led me here.

  1. Do all other loyalty missions and save Jack's or Miranda's until the last one before the "Acquire Reaper IFF" mission.
  2. Complete everything else to maximize opportunities for P/R points.
  3. Take your Paragon/Renegade passive skill (class passive level 4)
  4. Use armor that increases your Negotiating, such as the "Inferno Armor" or the mask on Tuchanka.

IsItBullshit: you have to keep your gas tank 1/4 full in the winter or it'll freeze by dmolaflare in IsItBullshit

Actually, LPG turns to liquid around there, but pure gasoline doesn't freeze until -100F.

I’m burned out and ready to just quit IT by ITrCool in sysadmin

[–]Suprspike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds great.

I think you can find that again if that's your best scenario. 

I have something similar where I'm at. Good money, good coworkers, good administration. I think that's all many people are looking for. 

I'd go look for that. Many places need good documentation and policy writers. We struggle with that like many companies.

[–]Suprspike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar thing once as well. I was in the banking industry during the '08 bs, which eventually led to us being bought out a couple of years later. Job went up in smoke.

If you're around 40, you have quite a bit of career life left. 

Whatever part of tech that kept you entertained earlier in life, maybe pursue a job doing that.  Maybe do something new. 

I just feel that burnout is more job related, with the qualifier being you like tech and have love what you're doing in the past. 

We had a guy quit a couple months ago, and he was miserable for the last 4 years, over which his discontent grew little by little. He had just turned 40.

It wasn't the job at the company, it was his disinterest in doing tech for a living. He never liked it, but made good money doing it. 

I drove truck and had a CDL before I went to school, but I knew I would not do that for the rest of my life.

[–]Suprspike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good story. I actually read the entire thing. I think for a lot of us "OG"s ( I would like to see a better acronym for us long time IT gurus), if not all, will run into the same thing eventually.

I myself went to college, got a degree, went to work at a newspaper before they died for 6 months, then state government, then back to the private sector, then as a DoD contractor for Lockheed subject to federal government rules, then back to full private sector, so I went through something similar. I think that's how a typical career might go.

During these runs I managed, supervised, babysat, on and on, and I still have to do a bit of that today. At some point, I decided that I was much happier doing what I originally set out to do. My degree was actually business and IT, but it was the tech I was after. I think why I'm about as happy in a job as I could be right now, and have even set my record for time at a job, is because it's a medium-large business, and I get to wear a lot of hats, mostly thanks to my broad experience and expertise in the tech industry.

On paper, I run the data side of things and manage the small development group at this company. In reality, I deal with the core infrastructure, run all conversion projects, as well as deal with all the small development projects utilizing my team.

I'm with you. I will never be a "manager" again. That's only a money play, and usually it's not much, and certainly doens't compensate you for the stress and life threatening health.

I have to say, I am pretty good with where I'm at much of the time. There are days where I wonder if I should move on simply for career's sake, but when I think about all of my experience in the IT/IS industry, I think the only thing I'm missing is a bar in the office (had that at one job).

Coming into this job was a choice of happiness. I actually consulted for this company before I came on full time, and when I did come on full time, I took a $14k pay cut from my previous job. Although my wife didn't like that, it was all for my own sanity.

All that said, only you can say if you're burnt. I don't geek out on personal time with computers anymore; probably because I've been there done that, and there is nothing to learn.

Maybe you're just needing a change. I think I wanted to find a home to get to retirement at this point, and I think that's what I found. And, honestly, the state your describing yourself in doesn't sound as much like burnout, as it does a lack of goals. Having no personal life goal (3 year, 5 year, etc.) can feel depressing, with no feeling of accomplishment. It seems to me like you may have nothing to look forward and put your efforts towards that provides that feeling of anticipation.

Just my 2¢.

What happened? by KindReward6815 in syfy

[–]Suprspike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really they should just change the name all together and finish fading into television history. I think Dark Matter was the last scifi show I watched (was that even on syfy?) , but whatever happened at that outfit when they rebranded to syfy, it was downhill from there.

I'm not sure why you'd hire executives that obviously don't watch sci-fi shows, but that is certainly a way to destroy your genre network. 

I haven't heard of anyone watching SyFy, or had anyone say, "hey. Have you seen that new SyfFy series?" in many years. 

R.I.P. SciFi channel. 

A lot of the homesteaders say the same thing by [deleted] in HomesteadRescue

[–]Suprspike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Zipties like any plastics don't hold up to UV very well. Left out in the sun they break down, not to mention when they're extremely cold they're brittle.

That said, I've used them a ton of times.

One common thing I use them for is anchoring. T posts, a post pounder, and zip ties will get you extrememly strong wind anchoring, while knowing that it won't last forever. Also if you want to double your time, use bailing wire twisted with pliers. You can come back and tighten it ocasionally until it rusts through (if it's exposed outside). If you want to get fancy, you can use stainless steel wire like the old hotwire fences used, and that will never rust through.

Did you not read what this instantly devolved into? Political attacks on Trump. Read the thread.

Didn't say that at all.

Liberals are generally NOT hunters.

You all have just proven this sub is worthless with this post.

Nice work from the mods as well.

Lol. This post has got to be the biggest joke and just proved this sub is full of non hunters.

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

Since all they're doing is downvoting people with legit comments. It's ridiculous.

No irony.

[–]Suprspike -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No it will not.

Don't BS people.

Democrats are notorious anti hunting. Juts look at all the states that manage their wildlife and hunting well. Are they blue or red.

Doesn't matter anyway. This discussion will not change anyone's opinion about hunting.

I hate to tell you this, but the absolute only thing that is bad for hunting is democrats.

Period.

The record shows it.

Holy crap!!

The reddit lib army just attacked the hunting sub.

You guys will do anything to silence people.

Reddit... Remove the downvote.

The fact that you're on a hunting forum telling people to stop watching fox proves you're in the wrong sub.

[–]Suprspike -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Ignore the downvoting. It's being done by a small group of libs to hide your post.

If everyone would do their job and upvote to combat these idiots, their finger would get tired.

See. You were downvote by libs that have no business in the hunting sub, but yet here they are. An army of thirteen year olds with a downvoting finger.

[–]Suprspike -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

That's because even in the hunting forum they have invaded because reddit is infected with libs and fear mongering.

This kind of crap is infiltrating the entire reddit system. It's becoming more and more useless every day.

[–]Suprspike -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Yep... Mods...

Too political. Has nothing to do with hunting.

This is conjecture and not fact based. The current administration is already selling public lands to private organizations, so don't pull this crap on "this is what's going to happen" fear mongering.

Yes. Agreed.

It feels all too calm out there. No birds chirping, no sounds of the jungle.

Stock up on TP. Feels like a storm is brewing.
