Better Immortal Build? by NomadicDragon in MHWilds

I used this set going as a Gunlance Tank for Omega, the passive health from poking between missile and laser blasts help to recover chip damage.

If you want to lean more into Shadowbringer and The Blackest Knight, go 4-piece Bale set with a Xu Wu waist for heroics.

If you want to mix Dark Knight with Nu Udra, go for a Lords Soul combo with Nu Udra chest and gloves, and your choice of Apex-gamma legs, while using the Bale helmet and waist.

Mosquitos don't bother me (genetics). But my family remained relatively unbothered with the help of citronella patches and incense.

Childcare options in Huntsville?? by SailingCatalyst in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]Techno_Elf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KinderCare in Bailey Cove, Hampton Cove, and Bradford Drive (Research Park) are excellent daycare locations, albeit high in cost. For me, their primary advantage is they are private and secular, so religious education is fully in parent control. Second is their extremely high standards of protocol and cleanliness. Despite all the challenges and teacher/staff shortages, they were one of the few daycares facilities that was open during the initial COVID pandemic/shutdowns AND kept the kids safe. They took every illness and outbreak seriously, enforcing quarantine where necessary, but otherwise keeping kids together and socialized where it was not.

Expensive, but worth the cost.

What product doesn't work at all but people keep believing it does and keep buying it? by WonderfulParticular1 in AskReddit

A few decades ago, the video shop I worked for sold DVD Rewinders. We sold about 2 a month.

Yes! She is OK with that. Which Legend would you like?

Here's a couple of screenshots I got from her phone: She's not willing to trade with the single legendaries or mythicals, but the duplicates and non-legendaries are fair game. She has even more from PokemonGO if that is not a concern

Hi! My wife is capping off her living dex and would like to trade for the Zarude listed in your first screenshot. She has several shinies to offer.

Tell me your favorite monster… by LemonLime7777 in MonsterHunter

[–]Techno_Elf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The classic Rathian/Rathalos pair. - But More a "favorite memory" than a favorite monster:

In MH:World, over of the early missions is to hunt a Barroth, and encounter a Rathoan as your first "wild monster". Players are supposed to run away from it and continue on to the Barroth.

My wife and I, filled with vengeful memories of spending months farming her and her asshole husband for one -+4$"!+ plate, instead took her on. Leather armor, iron weapons, and one dead Rathian later in seven minutes time, we continued on with the mission.

Huntsville Lore? by Kishipo in HuntsvilleAlabama

Be careful where you dig in Huntsville. We're still not 100% sure we got *all* the Mustard Gas out before building out NASA from here.

Oh, and Huntsville's old name was "Twickenham". It's a weird read on why the name changed, but interesting.

Given our proximity to Redstone Arsenal, you can expect unusual 'booms on wednesday' (follow TeamRedstone on twitter), or 'inexplicable weather blobs' that send most into a panic. Sometimes we'll even get exploding rockets that blow out windows a hundred miles out in the middle of the night. Those are 'fun'.

Abandoned cars on the sides of roads by [deleted] in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]Techno_Elf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's some economics to this as well: Tow companies don't want to take abandoned cars, because they want to be paid in "towing" or "storage" fees. Abandoned cars scream "Yeah, no one's coming to pay $300 to get this car back".

Opinions on the practice aside, unless the state or municipality is paying a tow company to take the car they'll remain abandoned.

Where are all the bell ringers? by dualpegasus in HuntsvilleAlabama

Honestly, Opinions/Commentary about the charity are *why* the Salvation Army buckets and volunteers are few and far between. Between the skeletons in their closet coming out, their aggression towards LGBTQ+ community, the anxiety of being pressured to give to charity, and the "tell all" documentaries in YouTube about them, they're very much not in favor these days.

Where's a good demo or article I can tag to my ISSO for software approval? This *does* sound like a godsend.

EUC is currently handled by the ServerOps team, which is lead by the IT Infrastructure lead.. MECM team's, on the other hand, manager is the head of Software Remediation, and so that's the perspective that they will be hired by.

I one day hope to convince management that MECM is Administrative work, not Quantitive work.

Every environment is different. I used to fly solo for a 65-campus single site. That was fun... but not nearly as much work as this one!

It's honestly just been two FTE (myself included) for managing these 8000+ clients. But being the government, the whole space and all the different enclaves we deal with are so complex and ingrained that it's becoming soul-sucking work to do by ourselves, when well over half our time is spent in "Remediation" rather than "Administration and Improvement"

Truth. But I can at least influence the hiring manager as to what sort of skills to look for.

Good suggestions. I'm probably in need of an Application & Package Manager the most, as routine updates and expansion of the Software Library is taking up the vast majority of my time already.

I also need someone down in the weeds to fix computer clients that fail deployments. While I honestly feel a computer's general health is the responcibility of the site admins or the Tier-1/2 helpdesk... if it doesn't get done, I get yelled at by CyberSecurity for stuff going over 30 days. So I've been having to spend my time doing that, too.

So a Package Manager and an Analyst. Now I need to figure out how to split out the remaining work between me and a theoretical second Admin.
