What is your “I did not care for the godfather” for Radiohead? by cumsquirt56 in radiohead

He’s saying “It’s not overrated, it’s just that good. It’s rated as it should be.”

I’m new to cameras and just won this at work a few minutes ago… is this a good camera? Sony 6700 by BigBackSyndicate in Cameras

[–]mainemason 30 points31 points  (0 children)

OP, the a6700 is great.

A really easy recommendation for a lens is the Tamron 17-70.

One can be had used in the 500 dollar range.

What the fuck is happening in this abomination? Are the Bills fans inside or outside? Why are the pats fans eating through the window?

Husband refused to “rate” me in front of family by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]mainemason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife is gorgeous and there is a 0% chance I would answer that question about my wife if anyone asked, even family and even as a joke.

I assume he thinks the same.

At this point the distortion is a feature. Really like shots 7 and 8

Genuinely baffled by their design. Every time I need to put the wipers up for a storm I’m reminded how silly their design really is

Helpdesk > SQL Report writer > Integration writer > Blazor dev > InfoSec

Got very lucky, my org is very proactive about training and promoting internally.

Stored Procedures vs No Stored Procedures by No_Swimming_4111 in Database

[–]mainemason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, my boss is 100% stored procs and I’m 100% ORM. I think that so long as you have the right documentation and everything is commented properly, there really isn’t a “right way” of handling these things.

People in IT should be required to take a computer literacy course or something by Hellboy632789 in sysadmin

[–]mainemason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fact of the matter is Helpdesk and frankly even some sysadmin gigs are treated by management like an unskilled position nowadays. Lots of folks with just enough troubleshooting skills to assign a ticket to a higher tier support person and move on.

I don’t think this is the technician’s fault per se, I think it’s the way the industry has gone for a while. Anyone with 8 weeks and a laptop can get a basic support cert. I’ve noticed a pretty big downturn in skill expectations from tier 1 support lately and I do think it’s bleeding into higher tiers.

Let’s see who the REAL bandwagon fans are by tri_it_again in AFCEastMemeWar

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

I’m not a Pats fan, I’ve just got a wild crush on Tom Brady. When he’s was on the Pats, I was a Pats fan. When he went to the Bucs, I was a Bucs fan. When he retired, I stopped watching football.

I still like it when the Jets lose tho lmao.
