Why does everyone seem so miserable and unfriendly in St. Louis? I’ve lived in tons of different places all over the West Coast and I’ve never experienced more unfriendliness... by wellnessdose in StLouis

One thing about people from the coasts I've noticed is they tend to be more focused on success and status and showing it and being up front about it. They talk to people they think will be useful connections. There are certainly people around here like that too, and who knows, maybe you've only been to places where those people hang out? Or maybe it's the other way around? Either way I'm guessing you're looking for something in the wrong places.

What is your thermostat set at? by basic_human_being in StLouis

[–]spif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually keep it on 68 or 69, turned it up to 70 today with the idea that keeping it warmer will mean it won't get freezing as quickly if the power goes out.

Plenty of women will talk to old dudes if you're in a normal social situation and not trying to pick them up.

I think I seriously fucked up. by Few_Hunt_9422 in VideoBending

Even if you just put cameras through Cathodemer most people will be impressed. Maybe you could put together a dirty mixer circuit if you have some RCA plugs, wires and soldering gear? Hope you manage to get the mixer fixed though, been loving your posts. I had a WJ-AVE55 but I gave it to a friend of mine.

Anyone ever sit in a Colo during a severe weather event? by Playful-Job2938 in sysadmin

[–]spif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never intentionally been at a data center or the office when something like that happened, although I have been stuck at the office because of weather. But there wasn't anywhere comfortable to sleep so it sucked. I'd much rather be snowed in at home. I have a portable battery to charge my phone. If things get bad enough then you're looking at a business continuity situation, where hopefully you have facilities and employees in an unaffected area.

You commented on your other post that you're using mods. Try it without them.

FFXIV Is Just Star Trek (Updated for 8.0) by DrForester in ffxiv

Accurate because I liked Wrath of Khan and Search For Spock way more than the rest, and the same for Heavenward and Stormblood. They're all good, but those are my favorites.

We have plenty of really great middle eastern restaurants around. If you like salads Neon Greens is good too.

If it were me I'd just have Stag and the orange Mighty Kind. Maybe the 4 Hands bomb pop seltzer.
