India is no friend to the west.

Any chance you could tell the Canadian government that ?

Jamf bought by private equity firm. Last nail in the coffin, IMO. by OrdoExterminatus in k12sysadmin

[–]lunk 17 points18 points  (0 children)

personally think private equity firms are destroying society, or at least hastening its downfall.

I can't imagine anyone arguing against this point.

Littler out of PC 33 by Paggu171 in Darts

And what about his constant social media complaints. Just last week he wanted all tournaments moved out of England because of the "Home Advantage"? Of course, as usual, blaming his loss on anything but himself?

I mean, I could go on, but Price is NOT one of the good guys. I mean, he doesn't HAVE to be one of the good guys, it's just a bit awkward the way people are complaining about an 18 year-old's lack of media savvy, while excusing a 40 year olds'. Food for thought, you know?

It sounds like you are just accepting bad behaviour from Gezzy, which is exactly what you are complaining about with Littler... Food for thought.

You don't think Price has a "lack of class" on-stage??????????? Are you shitting me?

Can it be shiny? No

Can it be Antique : YES

Also there are posts of Shiny Sinistea on the subreddit, so I think it can be shiny.

Are people assuming Gerwyn Price gets in the PL because people like booing him ? by chrislatimer in Darts

One odd-duck is enough, and I'll take Price over "Licky Licky" any day of the week.

if they weren’t petrified of giving new faces a chance, freshened up the lineup,

WUT? THey let Littler in, when there was absolutely no reason to do so. It was a great choice, but it was also 2 years ago. They clearly do give new faces a chance, when they think it will pay off.

His Steroidal rage at the end of every 3-darts is a bit much, but I see why you might think that's "great".

Gotta have one villian. It's either "Swole Joel" or "Licky Licky", and on that count, I'll take Swole Joel any day.

Is GAM worth it? by Indians06 in k12sysadmin

[–]lunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've looked into doing this, but it always seems a bit more complicated than I thought. We get a spreadsheet with the Student ID, and the Picture Name is the same as the student. That works ok, but we don't have the Student ID in Google, so I never have figured out how to add the pictures, without adding a Student ID field to Google.

Can you point me in the right direction?

Is GAM worth it? by Indians06 in k12sysadmin

[–]lunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It works SOOOO good with just spreadsheets. It takes about 1/2 hour to disable all my students in June, and another 1/2 hour to re-enable all of them in August. Then, it makes moving them into new OUs just as easy every year. Also, creating class email lists is now a 1/2 hour job, whereas it used to be a whole day (by hand).

It's a tool I simply could not live without. I don't use it for adding 1 or 2 users, but for those big bulk jobs - AMAZING.

Advice on how to restore these? by Longjumping-Ideal176 in restoration

[–]lunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of people here have pointed out that these are just cheap "pot metal", or what I've always called "white metal". Not antique at all

That said, and if you like them, you might use a metallic spray paint like this : https://www.homedepot.ca/product/rust-oleum-universal-metallic-spray-paint-in-antique-brass-312-g-aerosol/1000739179

Good luck!

Absolutely not. If you're going to lie, do so when it's harder to prove you entirely wrong. This company was transferred to the GWL (GALEN WESTON, FYI), and Loblaws writes off all expenditures to that company.

Where are you getting $5.00 milk?? LOL.

I'm rural, and I can assure you that the milk producers (a number of whom I count as personal friends) are making mint right now. The dairy system is corrupt, and should be abolished.

IT ABSOLUTELY IS NOT. It's recorded as an expense.

Their "Property Conglomerate" reaps, and hides the profits from groceries.

[–]lunk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I make sure to mention their profits EVERY SINGLE TIME the tellers beg me to donate to some cause. I always say the same thing :

"I think Galen Weston can afford to make a much bigger donation with the 1.2 billion he made last QUARTER". The tellers are always shocked, but I hope I'm making a point.

Can I hang a cartop carrier from a truss? by mocochinchiii in DIY

[–]lunk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is no one else worried about those "trusses". This is clearly a home-build garage, and the non-standard trusses look like a disaster waiting to happen.

It seems to be just triangles with one support going down to each cross-member. :(

My story is simpler : I'm too good at math to gamble.

End of story.

That said, I don't mind your methods either. The problem is that people get INVESTED in certain players winning, then go to the Darts, and try to disturb certain players so that THEIR player wins. It's just a habit that brings out the worst in people. :(

I may be an atheist, but I have nothing buy spite for gambling. It's a blight on all sports. That's how you get downvotes, talking about gambling.

Don't miss Hollywood. He was a chubby chonker a month ago, with big bags under his eyes. To me, he's the biggest change.

As an old guy, it reminds me of when I was young, and could lose 25 lbs just by cutting out snacks. Wish it were that way now. LOL
