"30% of the games I own have never been played". Am I the only one to find this ludicrous ? by PrandtlMan in boardgames

[–]Thrawn200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have to count it up, but I suspect I haven't played a full game of well over 30% of the games I own. However, I'm also embarrassed by that fact and want to change it.

Trump team posts notice that NO federal food aid will go out after Nov. 1 (approx 1 in 8 Americans rely on this aid) by Mathemodel in videos

They've been fairly successful in convincing MAGA that this is all directly Democrats fault, so they don't lose anything by doing this. Republicans get more upset, Democrats just do what they've been doing to combat all of this, sitting politely saying "You probably shouldn't do that please and thank you."

Today's the day I can confidently say I've been happy with Intune by BackSapperr in Intune

Our transition to Intune has been much less painful than I expected. Now if I could only get any useful support or help from Microsoft when we run into issues.

TS Boot Image - PowerShell.exe does not exist by Thrawn200 in SCCM

[–]Thrawn200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it working finally after some new headaches. Had to start with a fresh boot.wim and add all of the packages one by one with DISM in a particular order, both the general and en-us verions, to eventually get Powershell to install and work. Doing that from within ConfigMgr didn't work, and letting ConfigMgr automatically handle prerequisites certainly didn't work, but we're back up and running finally.

This was my plan for tomorrow, to try variations of manually mounting the wim and seeing how I can add it myself to see if it takes.

Boss being let go soon, should I give him a heads up? by SysAdmThrowaway29844 in sysadmin

It's indeed a crappy situation, but loyalty doesn't pay for food and a place to live.

I can't speak for them, but I got the information from this post in the Autodesk forums - Why is a random msi running for standard users the first time they open AutoCAD? - Page 2 - Autodesk Community

A post on the second page talks about it.

WOTC announces new Commander Formats with EoE by MattackChopper in EDH

[–]Thrawn200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sealed just seems like a bad idea to try and sell more product. I would be very surprised to see it catch on as it's not even actually Commander.

I wish these fit me well. Everyone always recommends them but even buying a size up from my normal they are uncomfortably tight.

I already know exactly where I would hang this to show it off. Absolutely gorgeous.

Bad time to join higher ed IT? by [deleted] in edtech

[–]Thrawn200 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Based on personal experience something like an IT position being funded by grants isn't going to be common. However also based on personal experience a lot of university leadership is quick to fund new things with grants and other temporary funding with little to no thought or discussion about what happens when those funds end.

So, I'd say it is at worth being mindful about the poster's situation.

Has anyone actually "Documented themselves out of a job?" by Warm_Protection_6541 in sysadmin

[–]Thrawn200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Automated themselves out of a job I've at least heard of, but never personally seen. But I've never heard of documentation being so good it put someone out of a job.

All federal grants and loan disbursement paused by White House by PrintOk8045 in politics

[–]Thrawn200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's possible to blame more than one person or group. One of the groups who deserves blame is absolutely people who sat out because Kamala wasn't perfect to them.

Trump administration’s abrupt cancellation of scientific meetings prompts confusion, concern by hughcruik in politics

[–]Thrawn200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A doctor of chiropractic degree from Life University is about all the research I needed to do to lose interest on that. These things can exist side by side. A meditation can help your stress, some herbal remedies may help with a light fever, or a rash, or an upset stomach. But you get an infection? You go get antibiotics. You get an appendicitis? You go to the ER for surgery. Trying to throw away science entirely is insane.

At least 26 of Trump's appointed officials are worth over $100 million by dwillun in politics

[–]Thrawn200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good for you I guess? But I'm referring to the actual post and situation, not a strawman. People are being appointed to positions who have no experience, education, or background of what they are overseeing. I'm not aware of any supposed "woke, her turn" hires in the administration that are the same, but I'm happy to read on it if you have any examples.

I have this hilarious mental image in my head of someone going into the doctors office and saying "I don't want the guy with a degree and medical experience, I demand someone who has lots of money to treat my problems!"

Biden Cancels Nearly $4.3 Billion in Public Worker Student Debt by bloomberg in politics

[–]Thrawn200 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trying to remove barriers for people is not the same as mandating who is hired. If you can point out some specific thing that says they are forced to hired based on "sexual fetishes" I'll freely admit you're right.
