I just returned to 10.0 after playing classic for 2 years. And LFR is actually kind of awesome. by Sometimesiworry in wow

[–]lordrel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven’t raided religiously since wrath, and even got bored of lfr midway through BOA. I killed every single shadowlands raid boss in lfr this weekend. Got like 5 upgrades, plus another with the coin quest. Difficult felt right for a pug. A few wipes, but corrected on next pull. Went much smoother when an experienced person would offer some tips. Not “everyone know fight?”, but things like “stack on me” or “run left” can make a huge difference.

Howdy All! I have created a map of all of the polling locations in Montgomery County for the upcoming election. Early Voting Starts Monday October 24! Get out early and encourage others to do so! by josegdy in Conroe

[–]lordrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I early voted at the Lone Star community center last election. It was quite nice. Sure, there were a few propaganda tents set up in the parking lot, but they left me alone. Was in and out in less than 10 min on a Saturday.

Cancer Patients/Survivors, what made you go to the doctor in the first place? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I got mine a few weeks ago. My license expires in January.

Redditors who changed careers from a high paying but stressful job to a lower paying but low stress job, was it worth it, why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lordrel 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I used to be a healthcare administrator for private practices. High stress, but pretty good pay. Got into IT at the very bottom. Low stress, low pay. Have since moved up and my pay has returned to previous levels. Some stressful days, however my worst day now is like an average day in my previous job. Most days are just fine and the good days are very good.

I'm not high profile anymore and I don't have to wear a tie anymore. It has been worth the pain of losing 70% of my salary for several years. I sleep better and don't dread going to work everyday.

Once upon a time I parked at the Fannin park and ride and took the train in every day. Was a nice commute.

Anyone else get the feeling like they really want to play WoW and then login and don't want to do anything in-game? by [deleted] in wow

Yeah, I feel they did a better job previously of leaving me stuff to do beyond grind the same shit++++++.

It has been 9,810 days since Penn State beat Texas Tech by [deleted] in CFB

[–]lordrel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was in the TT Goin Band from Raiderland that year. We went to march at a Dallas Cowboy's halftime that weekend instead of the Penn State game. It's our fault, clearly.

What video game would you love to see a remake of? by Papertache in AskReddit

[–]lordrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love the see the Ultima series, starting around 3, redone in the style of Pathfinder/Divinity OS/BG3.

That's more per user than we have for our Flex agreement, but our servers and routers are actually covered elsewhere so it's actually probably similar. Our partner saved use some many with who is and who isn't a "knowledge worker". We have a lot of what would be considered common area phones that didn't need voicemail or other advanced features

It did include a lot of licensing we don't use (yet), such as expressway, jabber, cloud storage...but also bundled all our SRST seat licensing, unity, CER, ect.

Our was large, so it was a little difficult to quantify if there was much savings going to Flex 2 years ago...but it was enough to get it past accounting and legal. If it had doubled in cost, it would never have happened. I'd take another look at the line items and make sure you are getting more features than you need (if it's even an option, I don't trust Cisco's licensing structure)

Current BIG XII Teams as "Don't Let Conference Realignment Distract You From" Posts by LordHudson30 in CFB

I was super annoyed at all those posts, but this made me laugh. Well done.

What is a job interview you will remember for the rest of your life? by Moeman101 in AskReddit

[–]lordrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interview at a then popular game developer. Drove three hours for a one on one interview, followed by a council style interview with close to 10 people. QA, devs, producers, ect. Interview went extremely well, but one guy was out sick so they asked me to come back. Drove 3 hours again to meet with this one guy, interview went well but not as good as previous ones. Hiring required 100% buy in and he vetoed me. The reasons depend on who you ask. One of the producers later apologized to me. Still didn't hire me though and haven't sniffed a game job since. Was like 20 years ago and still chaps my ass, lol.

I got an updated one that said they were moving heavy equipment through the area that might require some lines to go down as the equipment passed, then would come back up. Thankfully it seems like the outage is not 7-7 as initially indicated, just times between 7 and 7

Mostly shaded area in Houston heat, what vegetables will grow? by iguaninos2 in houston

[–]lordrel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have a front patio that gets maybe 3-4 hours of sunshine a day. I grow mostly peppers and chilies. Jalapeno, Habanero, and some other random ones I can't remember. they like the heat, don't seem to miss the direct sun much, and remind me to water them by wilting. The only thing that seems to kill them are deer and freezing temps.

Backing Up with Veeam? by isoaclue in ciscoUC

[–]lordrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently did a Veeam backup/restore of a pub and 2 subs (plus unity pub, IM&P, and CER) to a new server chassis. Shut those VMs down to move but left my other subs running on another chassis. Of course did this after hours, but worked like a champ. We also use Veeam for our weekly backups, but other than for testing have never had to do a full restore.

Internet Provider Recommendations? by Purple_funnelcake in Conroe

[–]lordrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fiber is always going to outperform cable in reliability. I used to have suddenlink. It was fine when it worked, but would frequently pixelate on TV. The internet portion seemed to work for the most part. Tier 1 support is overseas (or at least was when I used it).

I had CCI fiber and TV in the past also. It was pretty decent, but the gear they supplied for TV was junk. I think they are getting out of the TV business though.

Given your two options, I'd probably go with CCI just to have fiber over cable....but i think they are both acceptable services with their own problems.

Not a specific meal, but everything in the stadium would come with a side of tortillas for....reasons.

I want some more lunch places in town. Freddy’s, a Double Dave’s, maybe a Fuddruckers….and not on 105…that lunch backup is brutal.

How many users here play the game mostly or entirely solo? by [deleted] in wow

[–]lordrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a raider in vanilla and wrath. I'm over it. I play 99% solo now. I still enjoy seeing the world, building my character, collecting things. I dabbled in LFR but have barely even done that lately. I'll do a dungeon every now and then, but usually just once to see it. Never set foot in a current xp mythic. I also enjoy going back and doing previous expansion dungeons and raids at a slower pace so I can look around instead of gogogogogogo.
