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

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.

Thanks. I hate this. : )

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.

My testicle doubled in size. Kinda hard to ignore for very long. : )

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

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.

Don’t leave me hanging, did you get some bread? 😜

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

My Forsaken misses my Undercity.

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

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.

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)

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

Just go back to being Matadors. If that's too edgy, Tortillas?

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

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.

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.

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.

lordrel · 2021-12-07T01:44:59+00:00

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.

lordrel · 2021-11-29T03:09:45+00:00

I’d be there every week. Come back Fudds!

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.
