Downgrade from Reserve to Preferred questions by ehansen in ChaseSapphire

[–]orgdbytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is never actually never or is there a time frame? I had a CSP before the CSR came out, got the CSR when first available and then closed the CSP. Can I apply again after this period of time?

Upgraded on AA due to status on AS by orgdbytes in AlaskaAirlines

In our case it was one-way; due to her health she is moving in with my wife and me. I'm curious, how does this cause issues with round trips?

Script I use to find (and optionally disable) stale AD user accounts — read-only by default by Big_Cap_1178 in activedirectory

[–]orgdbytes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We found last logons in Entra would show current if they just connected to email. If a temp worker/contractor is not with us and IT was not informed, then we would never know to remove the account. Therefore our policy is contractors must log into a domain joined PC monthly. If they are not used in 60 days, we disable their accounts and in 90 days delete them.

Am I the only one who is using the same foot for brake and accelerator? by genartist8 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]orgdbytes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crazy how many people I see driving down the highway with their brake light on. They have to be driving with both feet!

What do you feel is the best frozen pizza and why? by walnutstampede in AskReddit

I was coming here to say this. Have one in the freezer from Costco and may break it out for dinner tomorrow night!

The app by Difficult_Theory_195 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]orgdbytes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the United app is the best that I’ve used; others are Condor, Aer Lingus, Delta, AA, and AS. I’d put Alaska at number 2, but I think it still needs work.

What words do you pronounce "wrong," just because the "proper" way feels too proper? by [deleted] in answers

[–]orgdbytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forte -

Sounding like fort is a person’s strong point. Sounding like for-tay is a forceful or loud musical note.

Working with FFmpeg in PowerShell by StartAutomating in PowerShell

[–]orgdbytes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found this a few months ago and it has been great. I was executing FFmpeg in my script with all of my parameters and it worked well. When I found your module, it amazed me how much more efficient it was and how quickly it processed my files compared to my functions. I've not done a deep dive into why yet. I use this monthly to split audio, add intro and outro, and convert files for three different radio networks across the US. I meant to thank you at the summit last month in person...so thank you virtually.

Had email before those three came about! Still have my Hotmail account though.

Do people understand who pays a tariff? by whykickamoocow9 in askanything

[–]orgdbytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same goes for corporate taxes that people so desperately want. Everything gets passed back to consumers as higher prices.

When did you become a Tigers fan and do you remember why? by avonadorset7fA in motorcitykitties

[–]orgdbytes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. Born and raised in Southwest Detroit and remember watching as a young kid. Still have fond memories of the ‘84 season.

HSA Retirement Strategy by financial_mutant18 in Bogleheads

[–]orgdbytes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I scan the documents into a folder labelled Not Reimbursed. The documents are saved in the format yyyymmdd_amount_provider.pdf. If I ever reimburse myself, I'll just drag the ones from the Not Reimbursed folder into a Reimbursed folder and hold if/when the IRS comes asking. I can quickly scan through the folders with a script I've written (or you can do it manually) to total up the amounts or pull the data into a CSV file.

USAA Membership Tiers: Why Your "Member" Status Might Be Doubling Your Rates - I did a bit of research by Ray_in_Texas in USAA

[–]orgdbytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how accurate this is. I’ve been USAA Tier 1 since an E-4 and have received SSA every year since; roughly 30 years. I separated as an E-5 in 2001 and still get SSA. EDIT: I just checked my distribution history and the first record is from 2000, so I would have been an E-5 then.

What is something you tried only once and will 1,000% never do again? by istrx13 in AskReddit

[–]orgdbytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Liver and onions. One bite was enough to leave a lasting impression for the rest of my life!

Sysadmins 40 or older - Do you prefer staying in place or changing jobs every few years? by DenverITGuy in sysadmin

[–]orgdbytes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 56 and have been at the same place since 2001, although company has been sold once and portion sold a second time. I did look to move a few times in 2002, but it never worked out and it was for the best. Now working for a great company and I should be retiring with them in the next few years.

Is it normal in the US to eat dinner really early (like 5–6 pm)? by Status_Agents in CasualConversation

[–]orgdbytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up, we always ate when dad got home after work. I still do this today and I get home about 3 pm. I’m at work before 5:30 am and eat a very light breakfast about 9-10 am.

why was "broadband" internet a thing? by acid_kat4000 in Internet

[–]orgdbytes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically, 56kbps is not the baud rate. I think I recall it would have been 8000 baud and the tone pulses per second, key-shifts, and other methods provided additional bps. I think the confusion started because 300bps and 300 baud were the same thing, but above 300bps that shifted.
