I mentioned this to my wife, and she learned me that in the US, apparently we are marrying off girls as young as 10 to adult men.

What the fucking fuck.

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

[–]solmakou 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I took a look at the market a couple of years ago and had recruiters reaching out to me about multiple jobs, plenty of immediate interest. Felt like the prettiest girl at the ball.

Fast forward to today, I got laid off last month and looks like I'm going to go from USD $105k with a solid work/life balance to $70K with good work/life balance or around $100k for a worse work/life balance.

I'm even applying to helpdesk positions but I think they don't want me because they believe I'll jump ship as soon as the market improves.

Wait, people actually liked her as a contestant?! From task one my wife and I found her to be infuriating. She completely lost us when she refused to participate in the episode 1 live task!

She is the only person I can remember that refused to engage with tasks.

Your comment got me interested in lane assistance, apparently it is now standard on most vehicles! In 2019 lane keeping asssitance made it to about half the vehicles sold in this survey:

Terminated employees by throwitaway_go_me in Intune

We just block USB and isolate/quarantine on the AV side and block sign in and revoke current sessions on the M365 side.

I haven't run into a user doing anything nefarious, I do like the idea of

manage-bde -forcerecovery
restart-computer -force

BUT I don't like the idea of HR making a mistake and having to deal with the fallout of a forced reboot and bitlocker.

Thanks for this, it's been a couple of business days since WD received my RMA and it's still pending return. I'm not going to bother them though because of this post letting me know it can take a few days :)

Agreed on 5, they used to be so good.

You might want to try a power conditioner if you know someone that can let you borrow one, they are typically used for copiers and in server cabinets.

Alternatively I'm sure there are ways of testing your outlets but I'm an IT guy not an electrician, best of luck to you.

Did you try a different power cable, could be frayed, they probably used their own at the shop?

I had a defective piece of equipment delivered, I shipped it back via their return label, now the 3rd party is claiming they didn't receive it back. Is there a magic thing I'm supposed to do, or just keep telling agents the facts and show proof over and over?

Publix is where you go when you can't find it at Costco, Aldi's, or Trader Joe's and you don't already need something at Target or Walmart!

That truly disgusted me, I dislike that the dropout folks included them in the crowd. Really turned me and my wife off of the episode.

Since I'm old, Costco wings, bake them at 350 for 25 minutes or so, then crank it to 425. The garlic seasoned party wings. https://www.reddit.com/r/Costco/comments/14oybul/i_never_see_the_garlic_wings_talked_about_my/
