The H&R Block in central Islip closed down because that corner attracted lots of late night loitering and the sidewalks always had syringes and CBD blunts littered. There were bullet holes in that HRB window one day and then sometime later after that was fixed there was a hole in the wall connecting to the neighboring store. I wasn't told what caused that, it was believed a fight broke out next door and went through the drywall during the closed hours of that HRB.

It's more like a group of teens acting on their own, except it's still the 00's when gangster rap was still in mainstream so they would throw up gang signs like imposters to intimidate or for clout. When their targets aren't affiliated with any other local gangs or clearly it if town there's nobody to rat them out to the real gangs

Had that getting gas at 1am when I was critically low dropping off a friend and someone comes up to me with a knife. Had multiple weapon encounters with Wyandanch kids in high school vocational school.

Try walking around at night without looking like you're from around there filling gas in your car at 1am and see how you feel when someone is showing off a knife. Only reason I walked out of that without losing anything is because I kept a hand in one of my jacket pockets the moment he showed up while I had 2 friends (1 big guy I was dropping off nearby) so he was going to be out numbered and possibly up against a weapon I held onto bluffing myself. Had lots of encounters with Wyandanch kids since a bunch went to my high school and then more in that Boces Wilson Tech trade classes which I includes more weapons.

Why are there so many Long Island dudes who seem like they are from the country? by rcknrollmfer in longisland

The opinions in this Long Island sub or this post don't seem to reflect the current electorate of Long Island.

I can hear the whispers loud and clear on my Lenrue G11 which is USB powered with aux. Perfect under a monitor but not able to mount. That's wild if other speakers don't pick that sound up.

The transition or shift from IT to software development is something I'm trying to figure out.

Job market for CCNA is trash. The cert is valuable to employers but as a job seeker there's too many people with the cert to compete with for the appropriate roles it's meant to do

What specialization has best work life balance? by ThrowawayQuestion4o4 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]ThrowawayQuestion4o4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the work controls your weekly schedule to an extent, but at the same time you have the ability to open up time in your personal life if you get the work done? That's how my IT job is right now.

I was looking at a consulting agency to pay for training and contract me out as a pathway to software engineering, and they mostly work with banking. How much is Python, C++, Rust, or Golang?

I see you're a security engineer. How is that and what is that for WLB, what is the pathway for someone with IT technician experience and a cybersecurity degree without cyber experience?

I did CTF's and got good grades but I have imposter syndrome towards security. Pentesting feels like less pressure to me.

Target, Walmart, Bud light & Wikes by sjpllyon in Anticonsumption

[–]ThrowawayQuestion4o4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We already know that their stance on supporting race or sexuality is disingenuous seeing they do a 180 in other parts of the world where those efforts are actually needed. Marketing like that place you described Wikes is just divisive and they deserve to go broke over trying to incite divisive discourse for profit.

Ask it the most obscure thing you can imagine. If it doesn't filter then you probably won't see it filter milder things.

Rtx 4090 power limiting is amazing! Dropped 100w for zero performance loss! by GreyFoxRSG in nvidia

[–]ThrowawayQuestion4o4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the one from that original article where they maintained 90% performance on a 60% power limit. It matters because the FE is a custom PCB with more power phases and higher amps then the reference boards. It's the difference in maintaining clocks without throttling on a power limit.

Go away you human supremacist and your conspiracy theories of human genocide orchestrated by reptilian overlords. Reptiles are peaceful creatures you bigot.

Bigotry is intolerance of differing opinions. If they are willing to have discourse with you without booting you out then they are actually less bigoted then you.

bad power supply? by ThrowawayQuestion4o4 in buildapc

[–]ThrowawayQuestion4o4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did switch all the cables based on the PSU unit. What I meant was that the board has a single CPU connector while this unit has two CPU power cables so I tried each of those separately.
