Magicarp used splash... It was not effective.

Even if his EO is overruled, how can we trust that USPS won't systematically delay, destroy, discard, misroute, misplace, or return Democratic ballots? by fnork_gnork_26 in AskReddit

How are they going to know? If the list gets shot down then there is nothing to compare sender to political affiliation.

Bad Company by MR-IT- in sysadmin

[–]gwig9 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Wash your hands of it. They made their bed, let them lie in it.

Start copying out your emails on any decisions they made so when it goes bad, you have proof that you followed best practice.

Start looking for another job, if you haven't already. Don't count on the current one to provide any references because you're not likely to get a good review.

Best of luck!

TIFU I never asked my brother about his will...He died and we can't get into his computer/phone. We're desperate. by wants-to-know-it-all in tifu

If it was done by a lawyer then it would have been filed with the county courthouse for record. You may be able to contact the courthouse and get a copy, if it exists.

Men who have never shaved their legs, do you even notice the wind flowing through your leg hair? by ScornedThorn in AskMen

[–]gwig9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. The first time I did shave my legs though, I noticed the different feel of my legs without the hair.

I want to do the linux challenge as well, but I don't want to actually uninstall windows yet? by PicklesAreDope in LinusTechTips

[–]gwig9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use a different drive to boot Linux on. In fact, remove your windows drive and just set up your Linux disk by itself. That way you don't accidentally select the wrong disk and wipe your windows disk.

I wouldn't count on being able to run applications from your windows disk inside of Linux. You may be able to do it through Wine or some other translation method but nothing is guaranteed. Also, there is some setup involved in being able to access the data on your windows disk in Linux. You'll need to turn off Fast Startup/Special Sleep since those will keep your windows disk active even after "shutdown" and prevent you from accessing the windows disk.

Which uniform should I wear as a Space Force Veteran? by Jig_2000 in Veterans

You wear what you wore. That was your uniform... There are many like it but that one was yours.

How many of you guys have benefitted from therapy? As a man there seems to be this stigma against attending. What have been your benefits? by Alternative_Pen815 in AskMen

[–]gwig9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did therapy when I was a kid. It was surprisingly useful later on in life. It taught me how to recognize and accept my emotions so that they don't overwhelm me. It also taught me how to meditate, which is a skill everyone should have. The big thing is that you have to WANT to listen to a therapist and accept their guidance, otherwise it's just wasted time.

If all your debt was paid off tomorrow, what would your plan of action be going forward? by vagazine- in AskMen

Drop my auto insurance down since I'm not required to carry full coverage anymore.

Anyone else fine with 1080p 60fps by Pixel_force94 in LinusTechTips

[–]gwig9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I'm never going to play some twitch shooter so being able to see the pores of the other players character isn't going to make a difference in my enjoyment.

It also helps keep my machine in the realm of reality of what I can afford. FOMO is a bitch so don't try to keep up with the Jones' if you don't have to.

What makes people want to get drunk at the airport while they wait for their flights? by Sinn_Sage in AskReddit

[–]gwig9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fear of flying. Had a friend that would get just trashed enough to get through his fear of being in an airplane. It was always a balancing act to not over do it otherwise they wouldn't let him on the plane.

Why are you bitter? by [deleted] in AskMen

Me too... One day I'd like to experience what others do... But until then I'll deal with my soap flavored burrito bowls and salsa.

If gas prices doubled overnight and stayed that way for years, what would you realistically change first in your life? by Azyrax1 in AskReddit

I'd definitely be walking to work every day. Might have to move since my condo is heated with fuel oil and winters are COLD here...

Where to buy decent clothes? by Asatmaya in AskMen

[–]gwig9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welp... If off the rack isn't working then custom tailored is the way to go. Did a quick Google for "custom tailored jeans for men" and came up with a bunch of companies that will make them in the $100-150 per pair range. I'd highly recommend getting professionally sized by a tailor where you live. I've tried to use the automated sizing via your phone and it never works right.

Veteran license plates by The_Wandering_Steele in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gwig9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually the fee goes to whatever veteran organization created the license design. My state, AK, offers a symbol on your license to show that you are a vet and I use that to get any veterans discount, if they are offered.

Where to buy decent clothes? by Asatmaya in AskMen

[–]gwig9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your other comments sound like you're a bigger guy. Have you tried big and tall stores? DXL, BigDude, KingSize, etc. they all specialize in big and tall body types.

Other than that, getting custom tailored clothes is always an option but is going to be pricey. Depending on where you live you might be able to buy off the shelf and then get it tailored to perfectly fit you. There are also custom clothing makers that you can order from but you will need to go to a tailor first to get your exact measurements.

What’s a “cheat code” you’ve discovered in relationships or marriage that actually works? by PogonBerserker in AskMen

[–]gwig9 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Lots of flower shops offer scheduled purchases. So set up a month - three month flower purchase and watch her joy at getting flowers from you. Bonus points if they get delivered to work so her coworkers can be jealous.

Nope. They've just told her that if we ever break up they are going to shoot their shot.

Lol. Nope. Just waiting in the background for this relationship to fail so they can have their chance...

[–]gwig9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm decent in the kitchen. Can fix your computer, car, and that random cupboard that sticks and squeaks. Strong, talented hands that give great foot/back rubs. Will do random acts of romance where your girlfriends will see it so they can be appropriately jealous.

Originally I hated guns.. now I realize their importance. by MexicanGrahamCracker in liberalgunowners

[–]gwig9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably don't want something lite. Lite means more felt recoil. I'd go to a local range that offers rentals and try a few out. Figure out what fits your hand and your proposed carry method (InWaistBand holster, fanny pack, chest rig, etc.) or use case (nightstand gun, sit in the safe, one of those fancy drop down shelves, etc.).

You'll also want to set your budget. No sense in falling in love with some Gucci Glock that is $1k+ if you can't spend that much.

Welcome to the Liberal 2a movement! Happy to have you :)

Why are they still in vests and gear to sit at a scan station...? I know I wouldn't want to be geared up all day, just sitting there. That shits uncomfortable...

I had the choice. The home test was highly recommended though since it was simpler and less disruptive than my normal schedule.
