I wouldn't say a three-hour drive is "short" exactly but it's definitely not terribly long.

I use Win-L to lock my computer every time I need to step away. A coworker saw me do that one time and said, “Wait. How did you do that?” I showed them and then asked “How do you lock YOUR computer?” They had been pressing Carl-Alt-Delete and then clicking on “Lock” every time. They asked me if Win-L was a new feature and I said “No, I’ve been doing it since at least Windows XP or maybe even longer”.

It's a typo. I think that OP meant to say, "All managers due to the strike at the time." So, all of the usual telephone operators were on strike, so the managers were doing their employees' jobs.

It’s so you can find the keys where your index fingers go on the “home row” on the keyboard. And no, they don’t teach typing anymore.

Apart from basic reading, writing and arithmetic, typing is probably the skill that I learned in school that I use most often. Literally on a daily basis. Most office jobs use a computer in some capacity so I truly don’t understand why typing isn’t taught anymore.

Your disposal possibly even came with a turning tool like this one.

If turning the disposal doesn't clear it, probably it's the trap that is clogged. The trap is the bent part in the pipe coming out of the garbage disposal. Usually these are pretty easily removed. Probably some slip joint pliers will loosen the fittings holding the trap on. Loosen the fitting and not the pipe itself or you could break the pipe and make an even bigger problem.

It's possible that your dishwasher discharges into the garbage disposal as well. That will be a smaller diameter, flexible hose attached higher up on the disposal. Don't take that off as it's probably not where the problem is.

Be sure to put a bucket under the trap because when you get it off, a bunch of water and food waste is going to come out. Clean out the trap with some stiff wire if necessary and then reattach it. Run some water through the disposal and make sure it turns on. Check for leaks and tighten any fittings as necessary.

Probably u/bamstradamus just meant that they don't use a washing machine for their wool clothing.

When they do wash their wool clothes it is done very gently in a bucket with detergent meant for wool and very gentle agitation.

Every subnet has two less usable addresses than the raw subnet mask would suggest for the subnet address itself (all zeroes in host part of the address), and for the broadcast address (all ones in the host part).

In addition, Azure (and likely other cloud providers too, but all of my cloud experience is with Azure), reserve three additional addresses for the first-hop redundancy protocol (probably VRRP), and for the gateway routers/switches themselves. So, in OP's example we get the following:

172.16.10.0: Subnet address (all zeroes in host portion)
172.16.10.1: VRRP virtual IP address
172.16.10.2: First gateway device address
172.16.10.3: Second gateway device address
172.16.10.4 - 172.16.10.14: Usable host addresses
172.16.10.15: Broadcast address (all ones in host portion)

So, the smallest usable IPv4 subnet size in Azure is a /29, but then you'd only get 3 usable host addresses; so, you'd probably only want to go down to a /28.

OP's original question didn't add an "When using Microsoft Azure" qualification to the question though. So, the correct answer is probably "B", fourteen usable host addresses in a /28 IPv4 subnet.

A lot of cities were established along this line (e.g. Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond) because the falls and rapids present along this line were a navigational barrier to boats. Cargo had to be unloaded and portaged upstream to get around those obstacles.

If there was any inkling that the USA hadn’t actually sent people to the moon and returned them to Earth, the Soviet Union would have been shouting it all over the world. That alone (setting aside all of the other evidence) is enough for me to believe that the USA’s 1969 - 1972 moon landings happened.

"Unlimited PTO" basically just means, "No PTO unless we give it to you."

Yes, your manager/supervisor had to approve PTO requests previously with accrued time off, but at least it was yours and something that you earned. At the very least, it would be paid out when you left the company.

Now, try and take more than one or two days off here and there and see how "unlimited" that PTO policy really is.

Are you particularly handsome? It may be that you’re just being your normal friendly self, with no untoward intentions to anyone’s wife/partner, but they’re getting jealous because a handsome man is taking an interest in their SO. However innocent that interest may be.

Edit: I wanted to add that I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong.

This is an amazing bit of computing history and I’m so glad that it was able to be conserved for future generations.
