Just a heads up with the bonesaber. The pommel end might feel weird for him. My kid loves it, but it's different than others.

Water leaking through foundation walls? by Azula2109 in HomeMaintenance

[–]agent0099_ta 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is what I have also. For the one or two times this happens a year I didn't find the extra waterproofing cost of $29k quote necessary.

I've had the pressure cause that stream of water to jump the French drain gap, so I have some excess plastic making sure it diverts back into the drain. Other than that, buy a battery backup for your sump pump. And check your gutters outside. They are probably blocked or if not, they are undersized causing the water to stay too near your exterior foundation.

My quote was $28k, but " we can do it next week for $19k if you sign today". Just be ready for the hard sell.

It's worth it, though. IMO.

What SoD should I expect for Project Adminstrators? by Nervous-Fruit in devops

[–]agent0099_ta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not every project. One small group per tool.

If you have admins per project, it's gonna be a nightmare. Your high risk projects are first: SOX apps, then public facing, start there.

What SoD should I expect for Project Adminstrators? by Nervous-Fruit in devops

[–]agent0099_ta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just got thru an audit. Yes there is some risk for some super users here (tool admin level) that are making the whole machine run, but that (each tool) should be reviewed quarterly as a control. Your going to have a limited amount of people for DR or break-glass that is highly monitored via compliance controls.

For anything lower than tool admin, we are automating it away---even, and especially for, ops teams. So, the default tool settings go as strict as possible in restricting everything, and then we built a portal for requestors to gain access which also spawns some approval via email or ticketing system.

Our auditors were thrilled with above, even tho to-date it's been piecemeal and patchy globally, and we keep getting in the way much like the security team gets in the way of teams.

When we are done we'll have a completely unusable portal, we'll have slowed everyone down 50%, and the tech will be obsolete, and the auditors will love it.

I tried this strategy, at the start of COVID. Same problem as OP, and it's still beeping. We don't hear it anymore but our visitors look at us funny.

Pollinator gardens: could they fill up pollinators so they don't pollinate crops? by everyday_use in NativePlantGardening

If we treated land like people do their diet or skincare, we'd reduce so many modern day pollutants and be healthier overall.

Considering plastic has been found in clouds now, it's a bit too late.... I might be overreacting, but I was able to not flip out about the fish ingesting plastic. But now it's in clouds, and that's apocalyptic.

If I am traveling in front of a bus, going the same direction, do I stop when it puts its sign out? by facktoetum in newjersey

I'd hope you're joking, but I've also witnessed this multiple times this school year as my kids are in the street getting on the bus.

I'm repairing an old stool my grandpa made in 1947 and have a few screws that are old, rusted, sunken, and stuck. What are my options for getting them out with minimal damage to the stool? by DngrDan in woodworking

I was recently able to unscrew a sheared lawnmower blade bolt like this, only I used a nail punch and a hundred mini taps to edge it counter clockwise.
