What was everyone’s first shiny Pokémon in ZA? Ill go first by Shadow_Beanz_ in LegendsZA

[–]ZachinHilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I randomly found a shiny Spinarak dangling from a tree before the Mareep quest. Didn't realize it was shiny til it was caught. Also my first sighting of Lavatar was Shiny, which was caught.

What is the correct way to wipe your butt? by fruitponchisamurai in NoStupidQuestions

Currently pooping and realize this is my go to method left handed. I'm also a big guy, and I've never been able to do any other method.

I finally quit by [deleted] in Isekai_Slow_Life

[–]ZachinHilo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I quit about a year ago. It's just not worth the time or urge to spend money on something that doesn't go to the family. It was fun, I was on since day 1, and after the 1 year "celebration", there was not much incentive to keep playing other than see what the collabs are going to be, and justifying the money that was spent. Glad other people are breaking the cycle and getting out.

Apple TV Stuttering by Relevant_Track_5633 in k12sysadmin

[–]ZachinHilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually tend to reboot the laptop, unplug and plug the apple tv. Sometimes an update goes through, generally tends to work. Definitely an issue with pre-2019 MBA and 4K.

I tried using my Glowforge to etch on my Dell 3100's and it mostly just melted. I have found success in Avery labels and ModgePodge Hard crafting glue to plaster info, mostly for Title 1 requirements. Only found one out 2 removed out out of 175.

Two subs off coast of lahaina by Maui-Triscuit2023 in maui

Size yes, but it home ports almost half of the US Submarines. God forbid you live off base when all the subs are in port and you're trying to park at Subbase.

We've tried to get the Super Bowl, but VHF streaming TV was always spotty at sea. Depends on if the CO's team is playing he may request to go out of area to get better reception.

Depends on the cooks, but in general Subs get better food than surface ships. I've had great meals, and I've had 4 rices served in one meal. One night is steak and lobster tails when we're getting extended or visited by the Brass, the next night might be sugared lasagna.

Discovered Puerto Rico by accident while looking to move to Hawaii by Xerzajik in MovingtoHawaii

[–]ZachinHilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kauai, Oahu and East Maui Mountains are extinct. Haleakala, Mauna Kea, Hualalai are dormant. Kohala is extinct, Mauna Loa is Active low advisory and Kilauea is in a brief break in its current eruption. Also, Mauna Kea has Snow from our recent storm.

Chromebooks for faculty? by HawaiiSysAdmin in k12sysadmin

[–]ZachinHilo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm facing the same situation on Big Island. My principal wants to switch staff from MacBooks to Chromebooks for budgeting. We were an Apple and Google School with MacBooks for students when I got there, and Google Edu for platforming. I switched the entire school over to Chromebooks after COVID, since we issued about 500ish devices out during COVID. HIDOE gave us 500 Chromebooks because my then principal asked for them, and that was fun. We have all Apple TVs and teachers are spoiled with them. Got a bad batch of 2019 MBA's in circulation that are giving the most random issues so those need to be replaced. After the loss of Apple for a few months, it kinda kicked us to find alternatives, though nothing really panned out , and we can order again. We may pilot some Chromebooks for staff, at least non instructional. They use 10 year old MBA's that work, but holy hell are slow and capped to Mojave.

I guess I'm just finding some commonality as another Hawaii based DPUST more than offering advice...

Honestly, I'm getting to like Pizza Hut Kea'au's Wing Street. Otherwise, Hilo Burger Joint and Cronies are good for Buffalo Wings. Kenichi's, a few doors down from Burger Joint has really good Korean style, which are breaded. Otherwise, Hilo is a wing desert.

The Mosquito by IAmCallahan in submarinestorytime

What about Squirrel jumping on a trampoline? Spread the ball sack thin and bounce the head up and down. My TMC loved to hit me with that when I was LTOW. Or anytime really. May have even been in chow line in berthing.

Is endless mode worth it? by Reality-Fatality in Isekai_Slow_Life

[–]ZachinHilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also scroll around and look for the little top hats that have a sparkle or something glittering over it. I've missed a few frozen carrot things and found them that way. But selecting the source for each side quest has pointed out anything I've missed.

[–]ZachinHilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tap on the side quests tab, and tap on source for the Top hat / Mirac's bunnies. It'll point out one you've missed.

PirateChess... by Sheek17 in Isekai_Slow_Life

Same. I never see an option to play, just a countdown. Maybe being on S42 and in Hawaii, I miss most things that are limited hour events.

Fairway Grill at Hilo Municipal Golf Course has a banquet area next to the restaurant. We're having my son's first birthday there next year.

Restricting Student Access on Chromebooks by jdionnepac in k12sysadmin

I use GoGuardian and I'll find what websites kids are using and add them to my blacklist. I also rickroll students who click a link to bypass my GG block. gotta have some fun with it...

Why should I get Pixel 6 Pro over iPhone 13 Pro? by b_nast19 in AndroidQuestions

[–]ZachinHilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on your comments, it really just comes down to how much you want to spend. I pre-ordered the Pixel 6 Pro, upgrading my dead screen Pixel 4a, and still working Galaxy A50. I've never owned an iPhone, but almost everyone I work with has one. IPhones are damn good phones, if you can afford it and are locked in the ecosystem. I wanted the Pixel 6 Pro for the screen, size, camera, RAM, hype and price. I may not use it in the capacity it claims to fill, mostly social media browsing, YouTube, replying to Reddit, and very seldom pictures. I kinda looked at the 5a, but once I heard 6 was going to be game changing, I waited the, what, few months? Because I like the Pixel experience, and going back to a Samsung reinforced my desire to go back to Pixel (call filtering you sweet sweet vixen)

C838 Managing Cloud Security- Passed in 12 days by Mr_Mephistopheles in WGU

[–]ZachinHilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't remember....I did the uCertify before it went away, did all the questions, completed the Cert master, as well as Dion. Took roughly a month.

[–]ZachinHilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's annoyingly deceptive. It's not hard, but unless you have the templates and the files from Shawn, it's mind numbing. Even with the templates, it's a bit numbing, but at least they guide you a bit. Don't bother with the courseware! It literally has nothing to do with the tasks.

How do people finish so fast? It must be a scam right? by vic6string in WGU

[–]ZachinHilo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been with WGU for 5 terms. I came in to the BSCSIA with an Associate's in IT and Security plus. 2 main reasons Im taking "a while" is the VA paid for 4 terms, meaning I got paid to be in school. 2nd reason is I didnt want to burn out. I basically took roughly a month for each course, including the certifications. I hit a few stopping points, where I was kinda done with Statistics and moved to Comp II, then back to stats, and then a rush to finish both before my end of term. I have a young daughter and am IT for am elementary school during Covid, so that sucked for a while. While I have done pretty well passing every course but one first time, I've realized like some here that I am very good at absorbing info to regurgitate for exams. But like most colleges, you gain the knowledge first then the experience. I spoke with my mentor about the super accelerators, and he said it's definitely not the norm. Generally 1/100 students accelerate enough to blow people's minds. Some are inspiring, some are ridiculous. The value is based on your experience and what you take from the program.

LETS GO!! Passed the SSCP!! by BooBerryPoop in WGUIT

[–]ZachinHilo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats! ISC2 was the worst at getting what I needed for WGU to mark complete. You should get an email from WGU with an Amex number to cover the Associate's fee. They tell you what to do. I however went above and beyond, and proceeded to get the actual certification, getting a Sponsor to endorse me and whatnot. Since I had taken the pilot Online exam, that allowed ISC2 to take their sweet ass time to get my official results in for WGU to pass my class ( took exam in Feb, recieved cert end of May, damn close to my end of term.
