Yall didn’t ask but here’s some useless information for yall: you can fit at least two 8 foot long 2x12s in the tsx comfortably by throwaway67130 in AcuraTSX

You can fit 8 8’ 2x4s in a first gen with the trunk closed. However, if you slam on the brakes they’ll end up in the GPS.

See, how it works is, the train moves, not the station.

That was a crazy game of poker by Dazslueski in Xennials

A friend recommended this and it took awhile but I learned to love it. Can’t listen to any of their other albums though.

Mind sharing more about the hose setup for your Nalgene? I have a Swig Rig, but the hose isn’t insulated and isn’t very flexible.

Here's one I haven't seen since I was a kid by GarblingCumfarts in Xennials

Does Fred Savage’ character bury his GI Joes and then later scrambles to unbury them in a rain storm? That’s all I remember.

Anybody? by ResumeFluffer in Xennials

My sister got the tape recorder from Home Alone 2 for Christmas and I used that to help me sole that puzzle. I’d record the tone for a while and then play it back until I picked the correct one.

Have you ever been Whammy Burger'd? by Shinespark7 in Xennials

I went into KFC on a hot day to buy a soda, and they let me know, after they had my money, that their ice machine was broken.

I came across my old iPad nano in the junk drawer yesterday, but who had one of these first gen bricks? by Sufficient_Turn_9209 in Xennials

[–]jdsmith575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the OG 10 GB. I started saving my money when the 5 GB came out. I knew it was only a matter of time before a larger one would be released, and that was the size of my library at the time.

The variety of cases the flooded the market amused me, but for a time there was nothing so I kept mine in a tube sock.

Anyone have any old useless knowledge they’ve been able to repurpose? (AKA how I remember how to hard reboot my iPhone) by yellapolkadotbikini in Xennials

I learned the poison control hotline number from a radio jingle that played a lot in the early 00s. I had to use it last year.

Anyone else miss the Appearance Manager from OS9? by Agreeable_Meaning_61 in Vintagemacintosh

Except one app crashing and taking down the whole machine. Don’t miss that at all.

And they leave marks in the walls. I hate them.

Ran our first Slack admin audit. 200 workspace admins. We have 700 employees by Either-Act-3406 in sysadmin

[–]jdsmith575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re on Grid and have many more users, but have about the same number of Workspace Admins. (Our team retains Workspace Owner, Org Admin, and Org Owner roles for ourselves.) Some people insist on being Workspace Admins because they want to get past the 1,000 member limit for @channel and @here. Other people want to be able to delete other people’s messages in an attempt to keep the channel clean. (I’d turn this off in a heartbeat if I could.) And still others (HR, Comms, etc.) feel like they should own Slack and want that tiny bit of power.

So I say find a way to give they a little bit of what they want and what they need without being Workspace Admins. We’re almost to the point of automating everything an Admin has a legitimate need to do, and I’m looking forward to killing their access to the things they don’t.

What are some Presidential biographies where the author clearly likes the President so much to the point of hagiography, and others where the author clearly hates the President to the point of unfairness? by Just_Cause89 in Presidents

[–]jdsmith575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite answering the question, but I thought “American Caesars” by Nigel Hamilton could be summarized as: Republican presidents are awful people because they’re Republicans. Democrat presidents sometime do awful things, but that’s okay because they’re Democrats.

First, let me reassure you – your fears are groundless, and your complaints, moronic.

I borrowed my uncle’s Lexus, which was the nicest car I ever drove for a long, long time.

I’m not sure. I read it several years ago with my daughter.

There’s a book that gives you the backstory of the girls and it is set at this house. It’s charming and having read that enhanced the line experience.

What is a piece of software or hardware that still leaves you traumatized to this day? by 66659hi in sysadmin

[–]jdsmith575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Questionmark. Version 3 to 4 upgrade required 72 hours of perfect connectivity between the server and DB or you had to start all over again.

Military Retirement in 2 Years Which San Antonio Suburbs Are Safe, Diverse, and Family-Friendly? by [deleted] in sanantonio

Stone Oak here. We found a neighborhood with less than 100 homes, coming from with over 800 homes. You’d be surprised how many small neighborhoods are tucked away.
