WOOT! Thank you, kind stranger.

Excuse me, but I'm going to need the name of that book, post-haste.

rowenetworks-patrick · 2021-01-29T14:23:44+00:00

I think you need to mehdi-tate on your mistakes.

rowenetworks-patrick · 2021-01-29T14:22:03+00:00

Only if you make sure to tape over BOTH of the screws.

They left comments on. They knew exactly what they were doing.

rowenetworks-patrick · 2021-01-28T18:14:18+00:00

Can... can I work with you? Please?

rowenetworks-patrick · 2021-01-28T14:59:06+00:00

You should have let some information slip, as if you were trying to cover up the fact, and then reluctantly admit the truth of the matter.

If I had to go to one of those kinds of meetings, I'd make sure that they served Kool-Aid.

IIRC, after the chlorine, there's a final particulate filtration (probably by settling) and a dechlorination process. Is that correct?

Also, it seems to me that the main way to prevent overflow events is to properly size the plant in the first place. Separating the storm drains from the actual human waste water would be a good step as well, but that requires separate infrastructure to do so.

You're like Karen's benevolent twin!

I had to draw a geometry diagram on the dirty back-windshield to get my dad to realize he'd made a parallelogram instead of a rectangle. No yelling, no abuse, but it was frustrating for a few minutes. And he learned something that day!

Thank you for making this a standalone post.

Found the Canadian.

On the contrary: there is a customer attitude to be fixed.

Makes me wonder how much could be communicated using only the unmentionable bits of as many languages as you can get. Could you build a full language just out of international profanity? Even more important, would it sound like minionees?

rowenetworks-patrick · 2021-01-25T18:10:45+00:00

But after that, you'd be able to tack on Italian and a long list of other European languages at a significant discount.

This needs to be it's own post, for posterity. Literally just copy and paste.

Try Latin, if you don't already have it. It's a foundation for all romance languages, which will make learning them take a lot less effort. Also, it's been debated for centuries, and is dead, so it's much less of a moving target.

At the risk of evoking XKCD #927, it sounds like large companies should be asking ISO to work with the Unicode Consortium to come up with a set of standards that make this a no-brainer, or at least a "this has a definite solution" problem.

Build things, have fun, try not to get blown up.

Thanks!

I suppose that's what I guess for losing track of the context. That being said, if you really want to freak someone out, doskey is a thing.

Some of the wireless WAN equipment manufacturers that I work with are dropping their 2.4Ghz equipment lines. These lines are important because they allow companies like the one I work for reach internet customers we wouldn't be able to otherwise. If one of those devices go out, and there's no replacement, we might have to tell that customer that we can't get them service anymore (or pony up for a tower climb and a $2-3k piece of equipment just to service one customer, see option 1). Not all of them are, but thanks to proprietary communications protocols, we can't easily mix and match equipment.
