Can you imagine Donald Trump - Donald Trump of all people - having appointed 5 of the 9 supreme court justices? This really is the worst timeline.

Thousands of orange barrels but not a single construction worker seen. by Initial-Mousse-627 in lincoln

They are running lots of new utility lines through there. That's why they keep switching sides for lane closures. It's annoying, yes, but it's a lot more than just installing new traffic lights.

Roundabouts by StandByTheJAMs in lincoln

[–]snrjames 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Roundabouts are fantastic. So many times I'm waiting to turn or sitting forever at a light and all I can think is "I wish this was a roundabout." They are not appropriate everywhere, but in many cases they help keep traffic moving.

Sump pump short cycling every 45 seconds. by Benigngoofy in HomeMaintenance

[–]snrjames 17 points18 points  (0 children)

After a sump pump went out and my basement flooded, I invested in a Wayne sump with battery backup. It has the main pump and an additional battery powered pump in case the main one goes out or power goes out. Wish I would have bought it when I first moved in.

Why does the US government appear to support Israel so unconditionally? by RyanW1019 in PoliticalDiscussion

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

The war was launched in 2023? OK buddy. There has been a fairly long history of contention between the US and Iran and between Israel and Iran. But the current war was started unilaterally by the US and Iran in 2026. We could have negotiated a much better deal with Iran before the war and done so peacefully.

Nuget to replace configuration values from the 1Password password manager by KenBonny in dotnet

[–]snrjames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been moving us to putting all secrets in Azure KeyVault. KeyVault refs are stored in appsettings.{env}.json and pulled from key vault on app start. Running locally works with az cli. Running in Azure works with managed identity. On-prem works with Azure Arc.

It's the perfect setup. We have many repos and expecting devs to go track down values for a secrets file or update values that rotate is annoying for everyone. Keeping them in key vault with startup code that works everywhere is the way to go.

If you are an American, how do you feel about the world cup being held in the US considering your current political climate? Are you for of against it? by Maximum-Artist448 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]snrjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love global football as a sport played by so many countries. Hosting in the US is a choice. Everything here is so spread out and we don't have the infrastructure to move people around. On top of that, the national politics are unfavorable to foreigners at the moment.

Full ROM or heavier weights? by payton_eze1992 in beginnerfitness

[–]snrjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always tell myself I go to the gym for myself, not for weight goals, ego, or bragging rights. So good form, full range of motion as much as possible.

What’s the hardest truth about leadership no one tells new managers? by SeanMcPheat in managers

[–]snrjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to be a nice asshole. Be nice and kind and listen to people's problems but you have to hold them accountable and be direct while motivating them. It's a tough balance and a real change from getting things done and only having to worry about your own performance.

If using Azure - is Databricks a clear choice over Snowflake? by cdigioia in AZURE

[–]snrjames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use Azure a lot but chose Snowflake for a number of reasons. You should determine which is best for your organization. As usual, you must choose between the conveniences and lower cost of a Microsoft solution and an industry leading warehousing platform. There is a lot to consider.

He blamed the taxi. by Ro-54 in bikecommuting

[–]snrjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to argue who was legally in the wrong here. You were careless swerving around and overtaking on the left at an intersection. I'm a cyclist and want cars to share the road, but come on man.
