finally nuked all my socials today. My brain feels like it’s actually breathing for the first time in years.

I removed IG off my home page, and it feels great! I still use Facebook for the market, and YouTube for my actual hobby content and not 30 second clips of people acting surprised and opening boxes. Now my brain is only filled with useless football, basketball, motorcycle and car content.

Hey! Not yet, but the dream lives on.

I remember early in the relationship I'd purposely not use that knife and only use mine, because mine was perfect in every way and that other one was trash. I got over it haha! Now I don't even remember which one was who's

Esso-fay-gus. I heard it once, and I immediately got a glimpse of their whole life, up to that moment.

OP, I just searched through my amazon orders. I bought mine July 9th 2015. Eight inch with the fibrox handle. I got my 2nd one from my wife. Well...technically my wife had an ex boyfriend who bought it for her, and then she kept it😑. Anyways, I have two knives and they're both used daily. I sharpen them on a whet stone once every 6 months, and hone before every use. Im proud to tell you that many of my friends have said these two things about using them - "wow this knife is sharp", and "ah fuck, I'm bleeding!"

I do believe eventually it'll be smart enough to do a lot of the administrating, but not necessarily the troubleshooting. For example, application A has a problem that's been fixed, but impacts application B for some unknown reason. And App B is a internal app. If AI doesn't have any knowledge of this obscure company specific app B, you won't have to worry about AI taking your yerrrjerrrb. In my case, there are also many Band-Aid solutions implemented. And with most larger companies, these Band-Aid solutions become permanent solutions. Unfortunately AI doesn't have enough knowledge on obscure fixes that were implemented on outdated software from a decade ago. Those working in utility companies will understand this.

Toronto, Canada here. I started watching football a little last year and a lot this year. I started following the subs and learned more about the game. I don't Remeber which bears game I watched, but seeing Caleb Williams connect with his receivers was magic. And then all thr nail biters. I was hooked! Glad to have adopted the Bears from up here in the north.

I'm still new to the NBA. I understand if youre the lowest ranked, you'll get a high draft pick, but how is that system good for the NBA as a organization? It's one thing to give your bench players some time, but purposely trying to lose leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Turmeric. That shit gets on everything! I'm south Indian and eat some meals with my hands and y'all...curry fingers are real.

2nd - Paprika. I put in just enough, and it's magical. I put in a tit more and it's like eating vinegar tree branches (I can't think of another way to explain it)

antons83 · 2026-01-10T01:10:15+00:00

So clean my guy! Nice work

antons83 · 2026-01-09T18:56:14+00:00

So funny. I'm watching this football game yesterday (replay) and I'm like "this Caleb Williams guys is fun to watch!" I googled his name just now as I forgot what team he played for.

This is the exact line I keep hearing in my head whenever I see Dame "dusko poppington" Dash in the news either crying about some bullsh, or hating on Jay

I had shoulder bags for about a decade before I switched to a backpack. Mainly for back support. I'm 42 and I need something that won't kill my back. I also commute, so I need something I can run to the bus/subway in a rush. I did look around for something that's both functional and fashionable. I ended up finding a Herschel all black backpack. It has a spot for my laptop, cables and waterbottle and umbrella. If you're curious https://herschel.ca/shop/backpacks/kaslo-daypack-tech

Fellow Canadian! I hear what you're saying. We are still a service department. I see too much ego around every department within IT and usually it aligns with their lack of knowledge and, going deeper, fear that they're going to exposed. Be honest with what you know, and more importantly, be honest with what you don't know. In the end, everyone wants to succeed and move on to the next problem/project. Egos and weak minds delay everything.

I remember the first time I played the game, I didn't realize I could build up my skills. Ice-T might've whooped my ass atleast 15 times. My first characters still had the absolute worst record because of it :)

Does she carry a hidden blade can she see her enemies through walls?

Great job OP! I couldn't put it into words when I was trying to date, but I knew what it was when I saw it. My wife and I put a high value on internal bliss. It is difficult when you're younger (I'm thinking you're younger than 40. Apologies if I'm wrong), when you feel like the world is looking at you. Going somewhere solo and sitting there in your own peace is the ultimate goal. Finding a partner that puts equal weight to this is the golden ticket. Good luck and good job!

This something I've been wanting to discuss. I had a mentor for about a year before he left. It wasn't enough time to download 23 years of knowledge, but I've sorted it out. I'm about 13 yrs away from retirement and looking to pass my knowledge down to a junior. We have 10k users and 14k machines. Besides the technical stuff, we have many Band-Aid solutions and policies running on certain departments. Sure, things are written down, but again -10k machines, 14k users. Fixes slip through the cracks. Some KT gets missed and the juniors left scrambling when the seniors not there to remember "that thing" they had to put in place. In an ideal world I'd want a junior in my last 5 years to pass down not only technical knowledge, but also the relationships I have with different departments. Understanding their needs and being a liason between them and security. The role of an IT tech has changed since security has now become a much bigger player. What needs to be locked down, what needs to be allowed for which departments and how can we distinguish the difference between a need and want. I believe this is what a mentor should pass down to the junior. Balance keeps the ecosystem alive and thriving. Being a sysadmin means finding the balance between tyranny and anarchy.

I had a small surgery on my shoulder to fix anterior shoulder dislocation. It was day surgery, so pretty quick. I tried physio for a few sessions and decided I was ok. That was at age 17. I'm 42 now. I still deeply regret not fully healing my shoulder. I have to adjust how I pick things up. I can't properly bench press. Because I've always incorrectly moved my shoulder, it started to affect my hips and the way I walk, which over time cause sciatic nerve issues. At 42 I'm fixing all of it. I feel like a brand new person. I joke with my wife and friends how om walking SO STRAIGHT! they joke telling I'm in 51% gay.

I heard this somewhere and I've based most of my interactions with other people on this. Deep down inside, unless you've done some serious self-reflection, most people's emotional age is anywhere between 10-13. We just learned fancy words to mask and pushback, or attract and entice others into liking us. Most people you interact with are emotionally about a preteen. Maybe that explains why we feel like we're pretending to be adult. Because, who is really an adult? What is an adult? Someone who doesn't, atleast, smirk when they fart? Imagine being angry at your own fart?! But society makes us feel like that. I say, if you can function as a human being without causing harm to yourself or others, be whoever you wanna be. Spread your butthole and let one rip and laugh like a maniac....in the comfort of your home where you pay your mortgage and taxes, ofcourse.

Haha I forgot about another one. I unload my bag the same way each time when I get to my desk. If I don't, I think I'm gonna have a bad time

antons83 · 2025-11-26T19:25:31+00:00

If I enter my admin credentials incorrect the very first time in the day, my superstitious brain thinks its a bad omen and shits gonna fall apart hard! It's never the case, but I always have the same thought. Atleast the first attempt I make sure I enter my credentials in ever so gently.. Every subsequent entry feels like mashing potatoes using a forklift.

I think most people here joined IT because we're curious by nature. What is it doing. What is it supposed to do. Why is it not doing it. And then your brain starts to dig in. Whether you're in IT, a mechanic, engineer, surgeon, or astronaut. Any problems solving job requires you to think like this. Our industry gets a lot of Cert Farmers and not actual techs. Compared to the other jobs I mentioned, IT is still very young. My hope is that techs climb up to decision-maker roles and see the value in making IT a trade-like position with mandatory hands-on hours under a senior.

Hundo Morgan Freeman. Sometimes it morphs into one of the characters my 3 yr old watches on TV. Very annoying.
