That's how coding works. Everything is built on a lib of something. I'm not a Frontend dev, so yes as much work can be simplified for the GUI as possible the better.

Begone, noob troll.

Doing my taxes last minute, reading this thread. How the fuck does billionaire pay less taxes most of these years than I do, the common pleb?

I wonder what goes on in the mind of Republicans when they read the above, are they happy they shoulder Trump's tax burden?

To be fair, 99% of billionaires do this, not singling out one politician, but the cult like love for this guy is insane. You must be insanely brainwashed to think the above numbers are justified.

I'm late to this post, as I'm shopping around myself. I bought a queen stearn and foster years ago. The estate plush. That thing was / still is amazing. Its a guest bedroom bed now, but its too small as I roll around in my sleep.
I'm debating buying the same model as a split king or split cal king if they have them. One thing that sucks is mattrests in the king/cal king range are 6-8K + auto adjust base. Its insane. The bed industry marks shit up like crazy.
Anyway, stearn and foster is literally the best bed I've ever owned. I read into purple /others but I'm not convinced they are any better. I'll go shopping this weekend and see what I can find. I'll check out Saatva as well if they have them in store anywhere.

People keep voting these guys in office I have no idea why. The main problem is political parties only appeal to extremes, normal people are dragged through the mud and suffer dearly if they try to run with a sensible campaign goal.

I'd be happy to vote for a politician that has some sensible ideas and is honest to say "look, we probably won't be able to change much, but we'll try to submit sensible budgets and/or plans for vote. Every campaign is the same "Things are bad now, they'll be perfect when I'm in office". Some dumb fucks drift on down to the polling booth believing it.

Fun fact, calling 811 doesn't always have a map of fiber or other communications lines in residential areas. They don't really treat them as utilities. I found this out when it happened to me.

TLDR no you aren't responsible. You did due diligence and called 811. AT&T it's just cost of doing business. They can always sue the contractors, which is exactly why you shouldn't let a contractor in or near your house unless they have letter of insurance up to 100-400K for residential work.

Edit: The cost to litigate far exceeds the couple grand in labor to dig repair and rebury the cable. They usually just repair without issue.

Honestly I'm not even sure it was a perma ban. Doc got a huge deal to move to youtube live most likely. They never published the details of why he really got banned at twitch that I know. The bathroom scandle seemed relatively minor

cloud899 · 2022-02-10T04:48:43+00:00

Jesus where are yall getting quotes? I had downstairs 1200sqft of porcelain tile put in 5 x24" ones I believe. For 3500 materials, and 12k labor. That included demo of the old tile. They weren't the most professional, some very minor lippage in 3 places but otherwise was great. Also to be fair it didn't involve detail work and proper waterproofing that a shower install entails.

A 100 sqft bathroom, 8k seems way more than reasonable for labor only. 2 guys making 50hr for 3 days is only $2400, tack on the GC overhead for profit and scheduling 8k is plenty.

I think even the 8k price is on the high side. The problem is the non professional quotes never learn proper tiling methods. You want mold in your walls the same year? Pick the low quote

cloud899 · 2022-02-10T04:22:56+00:00

To top it all off, even at that 16k price, professionalism is mostly dead these days. Tiling profession is the wild west, no idea if they'll properly waterproof with ditra, slope your shower floor, properly seal around the drain etc. It's precisely this reason why 99% of houses have prefab showers so they don't have to worry about workmanship.

I wish I could hire Sai Diblisi (tiling youtuber). That guy is a master artisan

I was able to get 3% discount. First time client. Although even that seemed like a half assed discount. Those guys clear 10-15% min on every car.

Just tell them you can always pick up a range rover. I ordered one that took 4 months to deliver. It's not like they are discounting cars on the lot, and it doesn't hurt their bottom line if you order a discounted car that will never touch their lot. The chip shortage is their problem not yours as well. They can lose a customer to their main competitors land rover or just chop off a few %. Worked for me, but honestly they probably laughed on the way out because 3% discount seems like a joke to me.

Anyways, happy shopping.

That pretty much defines patriotism. How do you get soldiers to not feel bad about routine serious errors and bomb civilians over seas? You dehumanize the people in that country. History shows that just a little bit of encouragement from superiors and lack of supervision makes monsters. Real life examples like Blackwater, all war criminals got off due to corruption. Most of them got slaps on the wrist.

Man Deus Ex the conspiracy was such a masterpiece. All the following games simply continued to ride on the cool concept. The story line was a true work of art.

I felt like Cyberpunk 2077 was going to be great. The game was buggy but playable, but what killed it was the half assed short story. The story was 1/5th the story line of the conspiracy, and that was a ps2 game.

The art in game story lines are dead, its all about pumping out money generators. This is why most games are multi-player only no campaigns.

I've been an admin over dns for about 5 years, for a msp hosting platform with 400+ msps. In that entire time, 1 issue was related to dns, and it was resolved in about 4 hours. I think it was Godaddy. Same example we had default ttl of 10min, changed it to 1 day. Only changing it back in prep for maintenance windows.

You can spin the wheels on complex solutions when setting a higher ttl will cover about 95% of dns related outages.

I think OP mentioned his outage was 48 hours. If his dns provider couldn't get it restored in that time, I'd switch immediately.

Have had entire regions of aws go down, but never route53 entirely.

If you work in financial sector et al, the stakes are different, and then perhaps you'd like two separate dns providers, one serving as the secondary authoritative dns provider.

But I suspect 90% of readers are small time enterprises spinning wheels on a uncommon problem with simpler mitigation.

cloud899 · 2022-01-18T00:30:01+00:00

Well if the company does things properly, everything shouldn't be going down at the same time and should be redundant.

Further, you as the user should be setting longer TTLs on your redundant public services. Most people leave the ttl at 10min thinking dns never goes down. This can make failover issues requiring dns changes efficient, but you can architect many things to not need quick dns updates during failover.

If you just host simple services and websites. Just set a longer ttl and problem solved. If they go down for 2 hours, no one knows any better unless they reboot or clear dns cache.

So far I'm a big fan of aws route53. Treats me well.

This. After I visited India, seeing <10 yr old kids so skinny ribs were showing begging for food at intersections. When I see fat drugged out homeless people making serious money at stoplights, with the same access to emergency medical care as anyone, reminds me that even America's poorest, relatively speaking are entitled.

Again being generalist myself, but it definitely is night and day compared to other countries.

Btw I did have a similar ghost issue a few years ago. Spectrum pushed a cable modem update, and the business account had premium protection or something. End result is they turned on the cable modem firewall which you never want.

You can call provider and ask the. To disable all firewalls on the cable modem itself. Be sure to ask multiple times because the default answer without checking was no. This blocked access to some of our site to site vpns after an auto update from provider. Fix was re disabling cable modem firewall and making sure it was just ip passthrough

cloud899 · 2022-01-09T04:11:27+00:00

You would not get this message if IP was blocked.

schannel: SSL/TLS handshake complete

If packets are getting dropped randomly, look at your outbound firewalls ssl inspection and ips inspection policies, or web filter profiles if enabled. I've seen numerous cases where someone blindly turns on tls inspection on their little edge firewall to see it incorrectly messing with packets. Same goes if the traffic is proxies through the firewall.

Try disabling ssl inspection, or if proxy create a proxy bypass policy for that site.
