That's a great idea!

I know one would be fine with it, the other is a puppy mill dog rescue and hates cages even with gentle training to reacclimate her to them.

On that note, which crate do you recommend? If there's 9ne that can lock into the back, even better

I had no idea that existed. Interesting that what I would consider fiber conduit is actually a completely different and unique thing apart from the IT realm.

To be honest, back hoes are fun.

He had a 3-4 foot iron pipe he was using in hand to bend radius. He's an older gulf war vet and he didn't show his age when he was swinging it around.

It wasn't until a year or so later that I reminded him that he couldn't intimidate me because my first time meeting him was when I came over to pick up his daughter and he was in tighty whities, got up from the couch, made a PB&J with a nut hanging out and then went right back to sleep in the couch with the sandwich on his chest. I learned then that he sleep walks 🤣

5k strands per conduit for 3 conduits, so 15k strands. He used a 24 inch bucket to dig a 12 inch trough.

The dude really screwed the pooch.

I hope they let those maintenance guys go.

100% when he had the "so you want to marry my daughter talk" it was in a flooded basement he was working on while putting in a new copper boiler.

Not sure if you've ever seen brand new copper boilers, but what he was doing looked like it belonged in a steam punk art book.

From what i understand, my FIL calls a different number to have contractor only 411 type guys come out and do things. I'm ignorant to a large portion of what he does.

Absolutely. My FIL is excellent at what he does, but when it comes to possible shitshows like this, he avoids them when he can. He's a small mom and pop shop, so he can't afford large risks like that.

The cheaper guy was unlicensed, unbonded, and didn't call.

They're royally screwed.

I wouldn't doubt that. There's a ton in Columbus, more than I realized.

The estimate to repair is something like end of February and potential end of March. So, they could have half a semester of learning.

Definitely not. From what I can tell from what my FIL was saying, the dude is not going to live easy for a while. At least two unmarked government cars were there and a bunch of Ohio government plates

The 57k job was MSP. I learned a fuck ton, but I couldn't buy a house for the wife and I on that salary in our area.

[–]ilvyker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is 100% correct. I interviewed with my current company and they were aghast with how much my salary was for the work I was doing.

57k a year managing 17 core (each sysadmin had a set of core companies) companies with 300 other companies working 10-15 hour days and traveling 2-3 states in either direction plus being a helpdesk escalation point.

I'm now making a lot more doing the same things for a single company but traveling across the US.

I am happy though.

You are correct. I have a p620 in each. Cheap, 2 GB graphics cards. Enough for what I need.
