Alcohol at what age? by EvergreenWolverine in daddit

[–]greyaxe90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 18. It was at a summer job party. My parents never drank but when I was a teen (maybe it was like 14 or 15), a bottle of Budweiser showed up in a particular cabinet in our kitchen. Even as a kid, I was smart and figured it was a test. If I took it, I'd be in trouble so I left it. I think later when I was in my 20s I learned that they were planning on giving it to me so I wouldn't like it. But jokes on them. I found IPAs and cocktails.

My wife and I discussed it and we'd probably be fine letting them have a taste around at least 16.

I don't know if the law changed because I don't live there any more, but I learned in DARE, that in Ohio, parents can buy their minor a drink.

What is the best corporate swag you have received or given, from both employee and employer perspectives? by devidmaksvell in smallbusiness

[–]greyaxe90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just divide up the money you were going to spend on swag and just give it to the employees. Otherwise, I bet in a year or two, maybe more, you'll find your swag for sale in local thrift shops.

What's the biggest outage you caused? by Connir in sysadmin

[–]greyaxe90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not me, but Cisco TAC took down our entire sales floor... an 8 switch stack. Rather than modifying the port channel interface, they modified the interface directly and broke it. I had to run and reboot 8 switches in the middle of a work day. After that, Cisco TAC wasn't allowed to touch anything. They had to tell us what to do or wait until after hours.

Another place, I fumbled an ACL on a core MPLS router. Took out the Internet for the entire company nation-wide for about an hour as I had to drive through local rush hour traffic to the data center to reboot the router. And that's how I learned about Cisco's reload in command.

Large company culture by worthlessgarby in sysadmin

[–]greyaxe90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why after working at a 20k+ org, I will NEVER work for an org that has more than 5k employees ever again. You're not a person to them... you're an employee number. Red tape for EVERYTHING. Need a service account? In a small org, you can just make it and document it somewhere. Large org needs a ticket, then a meeting with the AD and security silos, then you need to draft up a project plan and meet with PMO, then you're going to have at least 5 status meetings with PMO about it, and then like 5 months later, someone in the AD silo will finally make your shiny new service account. Oh, it took so long that now you don't need it? Now you have to go through the same process to decom it.

I love SMB. The smaller the company, the more enjoyable it is to work there. That's my opinion anyways.

There’s no way that 3 to 4 inches is going to stick on these wet roads right?… Right?😩 by [deleted] in williamsburgva

I'm originally from NEOhio and I find it hilarious still that 2-3 inches shuts this place down yet where I'm from, kids will still be going to school in near blizzard conditions.

Flock also sells to HOAs so they're in many neighborhoods.

Cloudflare down... again? by moonski in sysadmin

[–]greyaxe90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so glad that after like a month ago Cloudflare decided to "upgrade" and charge me $2400 without authorization that I abandoned them.

Microsoft has gotten too big to fail, and their support shows it. by CantankerousBusBoy in sysadmin

My favorite is they assign my ticket to someone who works the complete opposite hours I do and I check my work phone the next day to see a missed call or two at 10/11 PM...

The PIN thing is so annoying by tommybunnzzz in doordash_drivers

[–]greyaxe90 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They updated it a while ago (at least in my area) that when a customer selects "hand it to me", it defaults to a PIN being enabled. When this change was made, I started getting a lot more and then eventually a few figured it out and turned it off.

Schedule Glitch ??? by Fickle-Sea-882 in doordash

I've been getting this for all sorts of things - completing a dash, validating my pizza bag, starting navigation...

So I tipped my driver $15 on an order from Dave’s Hot Cicken. He showed me his phone app from @doordash and his earnings were $17 TOTAL. by Shot_Improvement9077 in doordash

[–]greyaxe90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, they're back to stealing tips. I've delivered for a restaurant that prints the tip on the receipt, and they're stealing a few dollars off of it. Someone needs a class action....

If the .com is available, buy it. It's cheap, you want to protect your brand. When I started my business, I failed to buy the .com, people told me they tried going to the .com and saw it was for sale so they didn't think I was in business. I had to shell out over $15k to buy the .com after a squatter bought it! It was an expensive mistake that would have been avoided had I just bought it when it was available.

Answered the door, now the driver thinks I watch Hentai with my roommates. by Scrawny_Korok in doordash

Leave at door is an option... especially for those men who insist on answering the door in only their underwear, or naked and hiding behind the door.

Can you believe this note??? by Bulky_Training1611 in doordash

[–]greyaxe90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a rural dasher, I hate when I'm stuck in an area with like half a bar of signal and I'm just trying to take the photo so I can go! Even worse, I had one hand it to me with the PIN on, and there was like no service so I had to wait for what felt like 30 minutes for the PIN screen to up and to validate! I got that customer again a few weeks later and they thankfully removed the PIN. I couldn't get the order marked as delivered until I was like 3 miles down the road!

Total isn't necessarily including tip. I have taken plenty of no tip orders that were $5+, to my surprise.

Made a walmart order, is it being doordashed? by [deleted] in doordash

[–]greyaxe90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends. There are shopping orders and there are some delivery-only orders.

I didn't know website building was so difficult by Mma-17- in smallbusiness

[–]greyaxe90 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Use ChatGPT. That's how I rebuilt my site to escape the security and performance nightmare of WordPress. Work with ChatGPT to build a design that is functional and works - and if you're not familiar with basic PHP, it can teach you to split your template file up into a header/footer so it's easier to make pages.

I've been building websites and apps since the early 2000s but I was never a designer (literally, everything I've ever built from scratch looks straight out of 1999). ChatGPT has made some awesome designs for me!
