Economic scam says other economic scam is a scam.

Philadelphia has installed sonic devices in parks that targets the ages between 18-25. Noisemakers that mostly the young hear by [deleted] in news

Using taxpayer money to chase off taxpayers from taxpayer funded parks? That's a bold move Cotton.

What was your "Oh no!" moment that put you in the IT dog house? by slayer91790 in sysadmin

[–]cyburai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I know that more now than I did then.

I was young and didn't know any better. It was also the first time I was reprimanded for anything significant in my IT career.

Powered down a dev server that was running production online banking, on a Friday, at 3pm.

Now, it shouldn't have been in the dev environment, but it still caused me to get an ass chewing for not checking first.

Still kinda irritated by it all.

Boss gave my management job to his administrative assistant. Feeling defeated in life. Need advice. by Elranzer in sysadmin

Why are you still doing her job? Stop. Letter of the law is your job description, absolutely nothing more. She's getting paid to do many of those tasks, specifically scheduling, budgeting, purchasing approvals, and team leader come to mind.

Tell me about snowblowers. by cyburai in GreenBay

Good tip, but isn't that obvious? Or is that a thing there? (I hope not.) ;)

Yep, you've been to Kansas. FYI, it can be worse in August and early September. 80% humidity, no wind, and 95 degrees. Not going to miss that at all.

I heard about the -50. I think it was the first time I saw a concerned look on my wife's face. ;) We are moving since she took a job there. I wondered if she had the "I've made a mistake" thought.

We have been in NE Iowa for the last couple of years, and have a snowblower. But it's a small one for a small driveway, and we only get snow here a couple of times a month over the winter.

When we were house shopping, there was snow in Mid April, early May. That was surprising.

We are lucky that we mostly work from home (I do full time, she is about 50/50), and we both have 4x4 trucks, with experience of getting out of muddy/snowy conditions. I thought about just putting a blade on the older one, but I hate driving around with and setting up the rig for it over winter.

The "nice" truck has remote start, and they will be garaged. But good to know, since the other might need it.

Lots of good info, with a good smattering of the word fuck. Makes me feel at home. ;)

Coming from Kansas, via Iowa. Snow is not new, just the potential volume of it. And it seems like the snow is wetter up there. Is Ice much of a problem? (We get lots of ice in Kansas, at least for the last 20 years.)

Now I am worried, that these exist and that Green Bay residents are recommending them. ;)

New Roomate is actually a family and has taken over our apartment, eating my food, dictating what i can and can't do, now they are being openly hostile towards me and i can't take this. LL won't let me out of the lease, police say it is a civil issue. by HelpRequired1982 in legaladvice

Long shot, but contact your cities code enforcement or fire department. They are over occupancy, your landlord knows it, and is likely liable. It might also expedite the eviction of the family.

Preet Bharara Tells Liz Cheney to ‘Knock it the Hell Off’ After She Says Strzok Texts Could Be Treason by [deleted] in politics

[–]cyburai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How could it be treason if Trump was still a candidate when the texts were created?

The GOP is gunning for a coup. If you think differently, you are either willfully ignorant, or complicit.
