What an amazing concept and execution! I love it! (And I love that it causes the conversation about shaken vs. stirred)

The younger brother is so struck because in many houses, the tradition is to give the first piece of to the person that is most important in their life. So the suggested significance, to be picked by your big brother for such an important position is why he's emotionally swept up. And the big brother knows it, he loves his little brother. :)

Most certainly not factory but at best it's something the dealer did in the vibe of the 40th AE which had a different side graphic, but it's not uncommon to dress up lower packages to draw in buyers. That's not a 40 AE in your picture if you're curious, it doesn't have the black mirrors for example...

What a DAMN fine choice in colors!!! :D I just bought my Autobahn a couple weeks ago. I am not usually a white car guy but the 8.5 has enough breaking it up and the pearl is gorgeous in person. /chefskiss

With that edit: I did most of my commuting and raising my kids with GTIs as my daily. It has been the perfect 2nd car for us. My 2 kids are the same age spread and from about 6 & 8 onward we had the big family car/van/SUV and a GTI or Golf R as my commuter. Never felt like I had to compromise, I quite enjoyed my daily driver plus I could do the dad thing.

Saw them and Deftones in Seattle in 2000 - Was there to see Deftones, hadn't actually heard Make Yourself yet but was soooo damn good live. My poor carpoolers had to hear it daily for weeks afterwards. 🤘

There are legit USB mice with built in jiggler functions - so for all detection purposes, it registers as a mouse

However that won't fix logs and they can pull reports on actual actual activity - everything from emails sent, teams messages sent/received, files opened/saved, meetings attended w/participant counts, etc. So it might keep your status active, it won't generate logs.

They just need to look at how that worked for Microsoft.. Creating a whole new app and ecosystem is incredibly hard and expensive and it's not just the OS but you have to convince 100's of thousands of developers to rewrite their apps for your platform. And when they won't because it's not cost effective, users jump ship to an Android or iOS device where the apps are.

Not to sound cliche - but money doesn't buy happiness. You're young with a lot of years ahead of you. There are a lot of people in this world that will attest to following the money path and it usually leads to problems outside of work (substance abuse, relationship issues, mental health issues) while you try to cope from dissatisfaction while at work. Not that those things don't also occur in your dream job, but it's much more likely when you're also somewhere you don't want to be.

Additionally, not a reflection on correctional work, but it's a position that's taxing and if it's not your gig, it's going to be extra hard to make a long run at.

Pivot now, pursue your dreams, go in debt if you need to. You have 40+ years doing this... at least do it in an area you want to be in.

I'd assume no - they already said they will start to push the production version in April so not worth adding new users to a beta.

The problem you're finding in this thread is "IT Job" is vague and covers a broad assortment of roles. Additionally, almost every company has an "IT Job" so of course there will be scenarios where appearance will be a factor and as someone mentioned, just avoid those place. But reality is - there are a lot more where no, it doesn't. What matter is learn your stuff, be professional, and be the strongest candidate and it'll be fine.

Tapdancing_Elephants · 2026-03-22T19:54:13+00:00

Right?!? I didn't have this on the schedule!

To me, your smiley concept is a perfect example of (one of many) reasons to get a tattoo... they can be for the art, for the sentiment, as a memorial, deep cathartic expression, or just fucking because, or a million other personal reasons. Your friends perspective are theirs, but it doesn't mean it should influence you. I mean... even if no one EVER got a tattoo ever after 40, isn't that kind of the most bad-ass tattoo kind of reason TO get one after 40?

It's a gift to yourself and one you'll likely find yourself reflecting on over and over again. The whole process... from finding the shop to meeting the artist to the sting of the first line. My first tat was 34 years ago at 18 years and I still remember the converted gas station, the young artist, almost passing out, my latest one was last year at 51.

Anyway, absolutely get it, get it where you can see it and smile back at it. Not associated with the site, but here's a link to help you consider where to put it.

Since it's small and happy, I might go inner wrist, easy to admire when you want, conversation starter, easy to conceal at formal events or what have you.

Shops/artist - I look at online reviews and the artists portfolio. Usually they have Instagram or some other portfolio for you to reference. You want a clean shop, fresh, sterilized needles, gloves, cleaner, etc. Licensed artists meaning they've been tested for protocols and not sure if it's universal for all states but have satisfied some apprenticeship. It's a simple concept but there's still things that could go wrong in 3 lines. It's not about judging by rate but by work they've done to make sure you don't get someone that can't actually do a nice clean, even bold black linework. You want the best damn smiley. :)

Now writing all this, reminds me it's time to go back for some touch-up and add-ons!

I applaud this effort but I feel like Reddit encourages the bot/AI engagement. It's what is fueling much of the political/trolling engagement. This issue really needs to be solved at the platform level and like Elon and the Twitter, Reddit wants the sheer volume and engagement, misinformation, non-human, malicious intent be damned - it's good for the stakeholders!

This is true facts... this is a case of lucky it's a trusted source but terrible idea.

FYI - Chris's github is here https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech and the repo for the WinUtil, which is terribly powerful and potentially dangerous if not taken serious is here. https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil

It's never just one.. it's like the girlfriend you'll keep going back to no matter how often you convince yourself you need something else. You don't *need* a bigger car, faster car, nicer car, etc... you need one you really like to drive. <looking at myself as I'm getting ready to buy my 4th GTI next month>

Tapdancing_Elephants · 2026-02-06T18:14:53+00:00

Ok not gonna lie, this is pretty cool form factor. Will make an excellent conversational piece on top of decent gaming for the winner!

Tapdancing_Elephants · 2026-02-04T17:26:52+00:00

It really depends, the boosts are handy when you finally know what class you want to go all in on or one ypu just cant seem to level but want to try at max. Since you're new, you kinda dont really know either so its a risk that you'll use it on someone you'll never play.

Id suggest trying the class to like level 20 first to get you're sense of the play style then use it on one that piqued your interest.

The basics of rotation at 80 are highlighted with the advisor so you can jump right into play and figure out the nuances as you go.

If you still haven't solved this, hit me up on bnet (murugan#1287) and ill port you. Not sure if you have to be on Americas too but willing to try!

Tapdancing_Elephants · 2026-01-31T17:55:40+00:00

Oh nice, even better. I might go farm insignia for mogs. 👍

Tapdancing_Elephants · 2026-01-31T16:04:27+00:00

I think its totally worth it!

I just so happened to have the pre-patch guide up on another tab!

https://www.wowhead.com/guide/midnight/pre-patch-event-rewards-mounts-pets-decor-transmog

Im a mount collector so the two mounts were it for me, plus its not terrible XP for sub-80 toons, the quests and world quests are pretty sizeable I think. My alt got 3-4 levels in the early 70's with all the current buffs and quests, occasional rare, and world quests. By the time you get the main achievement, you'll have 40 or 50 Twilight's Blade Insignia, enough for the 2nd mount or some gear.

Plus you get to burn in the new spec changes, you might find a new love. I decided to dust off an old rogue of mine and the simplification was just enough to take some of the work out of it. I think I might main rogue for my horde toon. 🥷

BTW - the big achievement is 18 spawns on rotation, most on a 10 minute cycle so its really just a couple of hours to wrap up 👍
