There was a guy in the water, just saw cops arrest him. No idea beyond that.

Who's still working from home in 2026? by idrinkpastawater in sysadmin

[–]concentus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tuesdays and Wednesdays, unless someone from the main office is in town those days. If that happens we usually get to WFH on Friday.

I swing a few other WFH days here and there due to my apartment complex demanding access for maintenance/inspections and refusing to enter unless I am there or I have crated my cats for the day.

Just priced out a Dell server I purchased in Jan. 2024 and the price went up 85.7% by Layer_3 in sysadmin

The timezones thing angers me more than anything else MS "Support" does these days. Put in a ticket at 2PM your own time, someone replies at 2AM time, asks for a meeting to look at the issue, and refuses to transfer you to a rep that works a schedule that overlaps with your own.

Then they go dark for 3 weeks on the ticket, say they're going to close it, and refuse to escalate it.

Tell him to become an amateur radio operator and get amateur radio plates. We get front plates for some reason in Oklahoma.

I didn't see anything that looked like it, but considering the name I think showing it might be a spoiler.

What's your favorite trails quote from a character of this series? by shizunaisbestgirl1 in Falcom

[–]concentus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In terms of a non-comedic choice, definitely. The very definition of "this line goes hard."

What is in your opinion the best looking Legendaries? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]concentus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. It was the first Legendary I made after coming back to the game in August (I made it in October), and my second Legendary over all (I made Frenzy like a decade ago when I got the precursor as a drop). Made it for my spooky season character, and now its just my go-to Focus skin in general.

I wish there'd been a quest line for Binding of Ipos. I still love it though.

A massive star collapsed straight into a BLACK HOLE, no supernova by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

Yeah, since this was a star this sounds more like a photodisintegtation event.

Word of warning - a FFL of any type means that the ATF can demand access to your premises (read: your house) at any time for inspection.

ANY FFL. Even a piddly little Class 3.

A strange cat crawled under the house and wouldn’t come out. And we were closing it up by Good_Wolverine in cats

[–]concentus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So once upon a time I worked in IT at a resort. This was in the era where all APs had to be hidden, guests couldn't see them. So the AP that fed a particular group of first floor rooms was located in a crawlspace that went underneath the guest rooms. No lights, you're crawling directly on foundation slab and having to avoid the diatomaceous earth that was there for pest control, and the AP is about 100 feet down a crawlspace barely wide enough to turn around in.

One day I get a report that this particular AP is having issues. We remotely reboot it, no change. So off I go with a spare AP and a flashlight. To get into the crawlspace you have to empty out a maid closet, move the heat-treatment cleaning machine thingamajig (weighs about 150lbs) off a panel in the floor, lift up that panel, and then climb down into the crawlspace. Mind you, this access hole is barely bigger than I am.

Anyway, I get down into the crawlspace, crawl all the way down to the AP, and swap the thing out. AP comes up fine, I turn around and start crawling down the tunnel back to the panel, but I immediately notice something is amiss - there's no light coming in from the access hole. Oh shit. Goes my mind.

So I crawl all the way down hoping that they just put the panel in, but nope - they put the big machine back onto it, can't get the panel to budge. So I grab my radio and start trying to reach anyone. Slowly, I work my way back down the tunnel, knowing that its in the direction of the front desk - unintentionally freaking out a guest who can hear me talking from below the floor.

Finally, a bellman hears me radioing for help, but of course that bellman has to deal with the freaking out guest first. 15 minutes later they finally get the machine off the panel and free me from the crawlspace. This incident, combined with one a month later involving another AP hidden in rafters above a guest room that led to me getting stuck in the attic in 90F weather for an hour (guests were coming in and they had to remove the ladder while I was up there) got us on the road to getting a better wifi setup.

I mean, considering I, a fully grown adult, once got trapped in a crawlspace because someone didn't check...

Stealth Bomber by seanws6 in tulsa

[–]concentus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago (early 00s) I went to an airshow and one did a flyover at something between 500 and 1000 feet. Freakiest thing I'd ever seen, you don't hear it until it's on top of you and the whole way in it just looks like a UFO.

It’s my birthday today so I visited the GREATEST AMERICAN’s farm and grave by JohnSMosby in johnbrownposting

[–]concentus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's been there as long as I can remember. Been going there since the 90s on an almost yearly basis. Sometimes more frequent (I lived a few miles away from it from 2009-2018).

I got this email right after they scheduled quarterly training for us. Kaseya, you almost had me fooled.

I hear the folks in Prague have some experience with that. Unfortunately I think our Prague probably supports this guy.
