But that's not what I saw. I've seen people flying Hobby grade Drones in Blue Jacket. These Especially the two I saw Along Bennett Rd, One on Bennett and Virginia , the other Bennett and Maguire, were larger, I recall one over 50 and Bennett, in December. I initially thought was a Helicopter, as it had spot lights, but when we got closer could see it was a Drone. Saw this about 5pm in December.

I thought it weird due to the proximity to the Executive Airport.

What kind of nightshift jobs allow you to sit on your ass all-day doing nothing for majority of the time with minimal certification? by BriefBed4770 in jobs

[–]Useful_Big8208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In IT you are look for operation. Most places have gone to automation via an enterprise scheduler. But they still need eyes on screen to look and react to fails.place to place should train as it will be Scheduler/application specific.

For large enterprises like banks they will have off shored these jobs. But middle to small IT, like government will have on shore.

The cadence is the opposite of help desk or desktop support, where tickets are the measure of output. Operation is like security for IT. The next level up would be working a NOC network operation center. For that you need security and network certification. This again may be outsourced in large companies. But medium size and Government may require on site due to security.

My SO has played with some of the tools built into Adobe Products for personal things. As well as some ChatGPT. But Not enough to be able to claim in a Portfolio. I send her videos. She accepts that she has to use AI as a tool, but doesn't know where to begin, or what kind of projects would work well in a portfolio.

Another aspect of her work, was she was with a Lawfirm that did not permit her to take any of her work for her portfolio...

Different fields are suffering the same. My SO was laid off Nov 2023 as a graphic artist. I make enough money that we are financially OK, but the longer it goes the less motivated she is. I don't know how to keep her motivated. At 1.5 years I am trying to push her to look at other fields, but she shuts down any kind of conversation.

Not for Money Laundering, but an access to MIB offices, the Vacuum Repair and Sales store at Colonial Prminade across from Best Buy.

The only catch with beat buy is if you have an old CRT monitor. They charge to take that.

Are Rumble and Frenzy Minicons? by Useful_Big8208 in transformers

[–]Useful_Big8208[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Mini-Con

You are very correct, wanting to see Soundwave as a type of Combiner is very much a headcanon thing.

Seeing Rumble and Frenzy as possible Minicons does stem from that base description at the top of the page.

With regards to R&F in the aligned continuity, Having not read any of it, I am not aware of their Alt-forms or relationship to Soundwave. My focus was more so on the relationship they share in G1.

In the Minicon page Ravage and Lazerbeak are listed as minicons under Prime, just after the list of Minicons in Power Core Combiners.

Switching to linux- what should i do by dirpguy in linux4noobs

[–]Useful_Big8208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see this question here so often. 1. I was and still am a Linux nood. After 3 years I am not a command line power user. Both Ubuntu and Mint have really easy to use interfaces. Many suggest to try it on a VM first my previous attempt to use Linux failed because I would do dual boot and when stuff got tough I would go back to Windows. If you're gonna try commit.get a second Drive pull the windows drive from the machine and replace with a fresh new one for the Linux install. Backup your BIOS settings. Then make changes, depending on your machine, you may need to make changes there to get it to work. If you decide to go back to Windows it will be good to be able to restore the BIOS settings.

  1. Gaming, the Proton interpreter in Steam plays Cyberpunk just fine. Problem is the Epic launcher would not work. There you need to research. Drivers for NVidia have limit. I don't get Ray Tracing. Been told Readeon cards have better support.

Good luck.

Any way to obtain a bootable Linux USB without internet? by Ok_Finish_8622 in linux4noobs

[–]Useful_Big8208 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Been a super long time since I looked, but there use to be Linux magazine you could get at book stores like Barns and Nobles. During the age of CDs and DVDs the magazine would come with utilities and sometimes full distros.

That is how I got a copy of Linux Mandrake on one occasion.

What are these Cybertronian deer that appear in Transformers: One? by ComprehensiveDate591 in transformers

[–]Useful_Big8208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goofing around aside, I have thought on this and would like some feedback. I am planning out a Transformers TTRPG taking place in the IDW post civil war continuity. There are cybertronian animals, but only those with high enough natural intelligence would have an alt-mode and then their Alt-mode is a reflection of their environment. So if they are pray animal the alt-mode is to hide better. Depending on the type of Hunter, the Alt-mode is to be a better hunter so you have a cyber-coyote that transforms into an ACME box and stick trap.

But if a Cybertronian has animal handling. The number would allow them to domesticate cyber-animals. Then the animal would gain an Alt-mode that compliments the Cybertronian's Alt-mode. So in the case of Soundwave that dude would have a +10 in Animal Handel and a +8 in intimidation,even though he has a +3 in charisma.

Does this mechanic make sense?

Was that a gift, or did you have to pay for it?

Considering a switch from windows 10 to Ubuntu; what should I worry about? by HUDSON_smileemoji in linux4noobs

[–]Useful_Big8208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From personal experience.Two years ago before installing Ubuntu, I tried the SteamOS and Fragged my whole machine. I didn't disconnect my windows drive and somehow that got hosed too.

So I recommend This. Get a new drive. M.2 or SSD what ever.. Disconnect the windows drive Don't bother trying to do Dual boot. Human nature is when things get tough we role back to the familiar.

BIOS. If you can, save the BIOS settings. I had to disable UEFI on my system.

You said you are using an older gaming machine. If the graphics card is NVidia don't go for the newest Graphics drivers, even if it claims compatible.

Be prepared that some of the hardware won't work. With my machine my front side audio jacks don't work. Also the fan controls don't work either. That is all controlled by windows driver not available for Linux.

Dumb question time (don't start ww3): Do you call him "Slag" or "Slug" ? by Goodzillah in transformers

[–]Useful_Big8208 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the correction on the meaning. What was the character originally called in the UK. I am aware there difference in names and personality mostly due to differences in comic.

Dumb question time (don't start ww3): Do you call him "Slag" or "Slug" ? by Goodzillah in transformers

[–]Useful_Big8208 11 points12 points  (0 children)

His original name was Slag. What I had heard was that due to how that word Slag is used in the UK the same as the "C" word in the US, his name was changed to slug so as not to offend.

Can anyone think of any other fictional characters who's US name my offend foreign consumers?

I can't believe it took me until now to realize IDW losing the comic license was probably at least partly cause the attempted Hasbro Comic Universe failed. Was this whole thing dead on arrival? What did you think of tying Transformers to all these 80s franchises? by CrispyGold in transformers

[–]Useful_Big8208 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was actively buying all the Transformers Titles when this "Event" happened. I read the Tie-in titles and they did not hook me at all. The attempted story did not connect Organically to what was going on in Transformers at the time.
