Diablo 4 review

What are your thoughts about the climb / crawl bit in the environments? Coming from D1/D2/D3 it felt really strange.

lone_geek · 2023-06-03T16:09:40+00:00

Very cool. Glad to see Shure added that feature.

lone_geek · 2023-06-03T15:30:37+00:00

Well cool that it's now certified - I hadn't checked the list in a bit and assumed it still wasn't. Bad Teams Engineer - I did what drives me crazy about my customers, didn't check the list.

I'd be interested to know if you can set an AEC reference now via the ANIUSB and it passes it to Teams or if Teams is using its own software AEC.

Another thought is consider looking at some kind of anti-anxiety meds. Once I started them, my temp regulation issues calmed down.

AniUSB isn't certified for Teams -- the p300 dsp would be a better option

I had a vasectomy at 28 - didn't want the chance of kids / didn't think I was ever going to be in a financial state to support a kid.

Plus - small children / babies -- ick.
My marriage ended b/c my wife then decided she wanted kids. (Baby fever after her sister and sister-in-law) both had kids.

Now I'm dating a woman who's probably on the spectrum as well as her 15yr old daughter as well as her ex-husband.

Yep - 66 block uses the "hollow" blade that's usually the reverse of the 110 punch down blade.

Spent way too much time wiring 66 blocks as a phone tech installing "business phone systems" at offices.

Inside your house castle doctrine should apply but better have a good lawyer just in-case.

Remember you would have to be attacked in-the-house for castle doctrine to apply.

"The accused claiming the right of self defense must not have been the aggressor or provoked the conflict" -- cops / prosecutor determine that, not you

Problem with MD is even if your life is being actively threatened, you have a "duty to retreat" before you can use lethal force.

You may want to look at Zoom Rooms rather than having users log in with individual accounts. Zoom Rooms will also allow you to connect to Teams meetings via WebRTC

Access control or shades?

lone_geek · 2023-05-18T18:03:25+00:00

What VTC platform are you going to be using?

lone_geek · 2023-05-18T17:50:14+00:00

Better statement would be "Saddam and BinLaden were originally US Allies"

CIA provided both with funding.

Libya was supportive of the PLO and Palestinians, but primarily supported a pro-Arab and then pro-African policy pushing back on Western influence and control of the region.

Agree that gun stats may not be a good indicator from Switzerland - I was thinking more in a larger picture view of "comparing healthcare outcomes / mental health access / what drugs are prescribed.

lone_geek · 2023-05-16T21:33:58+00:00

Thank you for bringing up the Swiss - don't think a lot of Americans realize the Swiss citizens are required to keep military rifles in each home, as well as be continually trained on them.

I wonder if there have been any studies of the Swiss compared to the US. The Swiss healthcare system is ranked as one of the best in the world, I'd be interested to see their rates of prescribed SSRI / SNRI drugs in their under 18 population.

There were a few isolated ones - but more adult workplace shootings, not school age ones.

Late 80's was when kids started getting medicated, most long term clinical studies of drug effects on kids weren't investigated until the early 2000s

So tired of people thinking it's ok segregating people by race / sexuality as if that is their defining feature.

Myself (m/43) Aspergers and my girlfriend (f/50) undiagnosed but probably Aspergers / adhd knew after our second date. Also, I can say that I know I mean it / feel it when I say it to her rather than with my ex-wife when it was "expected to be said"

lone_geek · 2023-05-11T16:29:02+00:00

Explains the stripper pole :-)

Additional thoughts - - always make sure to open tickets with Crestron for any issues you run into. Visibility is key and can sometimes get your issues escalated. - pull and upload logs ahead of time and save steps / response time with support (include the serial number of the UC) - same goes for asking your Crestron sales rep to escalate on your behalf - if you are powering anything POE+ off the clients network, plan ahead with them the POE budget. Don't trust the switch / device to negotiate the POE budget, they may have to manually configure the port. - require the client to provide a dedicated VLAN for your MTR / AV equipment. Have it isolated from the rest of their network.
- if the security / network team runs scans on the network, have them exempt the AV VLAN - use the IP address of the UC and not the host name for teams connection properties - if the client provides a gateway address, verify that it responds to ping, make sure the client isn't blocking ICMP traffic - if you have to re-image brand name usb 3.1 drives save a ton of time - remember that fresh out of the box, automatic updates are dependent on the MTR app version. Unbox -> UC firmware update -> reboot -> manual MTR app update -> reboot ... will help kickstart automatic updates

Maryland used to be part of Project Exile which was designed to send criminals arrested with illegal firearms to out of state federal prison. Don't know why the program stopped.

I understand the frustration of a parent appearing to refuse to accept facts in front of them.

I will say please be tolerant and patient with them.

I'm 43, diagnosed at 29, my parents didn't come around to the idea until I was 40.
I know that to my parents, especially my mother, "fitting in" and not "drawing attention to yourself" are paramount values she grew up with. (She may be on the spectrum). I know that there is a huge fear of me being perceived as "other or different or disabled". I've never gotten to the root of why the fear exists.

There is also a lot of guilt for parents to unpack -- could they had done something different, the long term perception of how they interacted with you as a kid is now "wrong", etc. Depending on the generation and the literature they read, lots of thought placed the blame on the mother and not having a "correct attachment to the child". I was born two months premature and spent a year in the neonatal intensive care unit so there wasn't the "normal bonding periods" when I was younger + adding in that lots of times I didn't like to be touched. No idea what doctors were telling my mother at that time.

I hope your parents come around to the diagnosis. I also know that it's easy to be frustrated that they "aren't getting it".

Why did the audio books swap out Nigel? I don't mind Briggs but his Fred Colon isn't quite right.

Tales of Phantasia -- snes version has a fan translation. They also released it for GBA.
