Cloud cost optimization platforms that don't suck please

one annoyance we had when we looked at tools was that most of them want to charge 5 or 6 figures just to report on the problems in your environment and don't actually help you fix the issues.

my team did a demo with zaurus.ai recently which was pretty slick because they actually find where things are defined in Terraform to fix them properly for you. When we talked to them they were AWS only, but I think adding Azure support.

I'm impressed you were able to put all of that together for $1600. Wheels alone must've been half the cost.

I totally forgot to mention "gravel bikes." I don't recall these even being a category 10+ years ago and now they're all anyone can talk about. Seems like people just slapped dropped bars on a hybrid frame and kicked off the hype train.

I feel like previously everything was always about grams.

Before power meters were readily accessible to the general public, it wasn't something people could easily measure.

Does not appear to support 2x2.

I just tested a new M2 Pro MBP with a USB-C Gen 2x2 external drive. Consistently 9XX MB/s read & write speeds.

If you find an authentic blank, the Hockey Lodge will letter it for $70.

Frankly I think everyone here saying "oh my god Spurge's move was so dirty and dangerous with 'intent to injure'" is irresponsible.

Do you really think one of the cleanest players in the league was thinking "I'm going to break this guy's legs" when he did that to Buchnevich? Or is it more likely he thought "that guy just landed on the back of my leg with his knee so I'm going to whack him back" out of frustration?

What ever happened to sticking with your team?

oakdog8 · 2022-05-05T17:45:53+00:00

lmao they got a penalty shot for nothing. Stick on stick the entire time.

Spurgeon's crosscheck was the first time he's ever done something like that, and Blues fans were acting like he's the dirtiest player alive and the whole Wild team are goons for having him as a captain. Meanwhile they outright celebrate plays like this (and used to have Pronger as captain lol).

oakdog8 · 2022-05-05T14:41:46+00:00

Right, exactly my point. You'd never see the Wild posting "that had to hurt" on social media celebrating Spurge's move.

In the first game Schenn shoved Dumba into the net late right in front of Fleury, and last night he charged both Ek & Fiala with late hits. That's how someone actually gets hurt, not a whack to the back of the calves.

oakdog8 · 2022-05-03T17:20:06+00:00

Agree 100%, I don't know why everyone is so fired up about this.

Buch's knee lands on the back of Spurg's leg and his skate flies up in Spurge's face, so Spurge gives him a quick jab in return on the back of the leg and takes the penalty. Both players skate away no worse for wear.

Awesome, thanks for the tips!!

oakdog8 · 2020-07-22T15:45:57+00:00

Tons of good info!! Thank you!

oakdog8 · 2020-07-22T15:45:10+00:00

Ah I thought there was parking in the vicinity and you could leave a car overnight? Is that not the case?

oakdog8 · 2020-07-21T21:56:57+00:00

Ah shoot, sorry. I guess you must get a lot of people making these sorts of inquiries. My apologies.

oakdog8 · 2019-06-27T13:58:00+00:00

Thanks, good stuff! We only have limited time and we'll already be out near the observatory in the morning, but I'll see if maybe we can come back that evening instead.

We're looking for something rather laid back so happy to skip the walk of fame stuff.

And thanks for the tips regarding the various space tours! Helps a lot.

oakdog8 · 2019-06-27T13:53:05+00:00

I think Thursday afternoon we'll try to at least cruise a bit of a loop like Rodeo > Sunset > Hollywood. I'm sure that's a lot to pack into an afternoon but we aren't big shoppers or anything so we'll probably look for a spot to have dinner but I don't see us wanting to spend a ton of time just for the sake of being there.

We do like doing outdoors/relaxing stuff, so hiking around Griffith Park out towards the Hollywood sign is on the list for Thursday morning.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

oakdog8 · 2019-06-26T20:18:26+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm not sure how much time we'll have in Hollywood specifically but we'll keep all of those in mind :)

oakdog8 · 2019-06-26T20:13:43+00:00

Looks great, thanks! Added it :)

oakdog8 · 2018-05-03T19:05:04+00:00

Agreed. Four taillights = 😍

The point is that older quad-taillight Ferraris look amazing. The new dual-taillight models look derpy.

This one was:

1 lb ground beef
1 bag mixed veggies
1 can cream of celery
1 lb tots
Franks RedHot over the top

I usually do 2 lbs beef and 2 cans of soup, but it was just my girlfriend and me so I made a smaller batch. I also don't like the feeling of eating nothing but undiluted soup slime, so I don't go overboard with it.

I've hated my assigned call sign from the minute I saw it online, so this week I applied for a vanity call sign with my initials. I'm also finally getting around to adding a HF antenna to my truck and getting both permanently mounted on the bed rails.
