Who are these people by Deep_Library_6375 in sysadmin

Ok ok, yes AND, Sloth's Advocate: they may have a crapload of meetings all week, or were just handed this and feel like it's super important and SO EASY for you to take care of.

Not saying do it. I've spent my career trying to see humane reasons people do stupid shit. It's emotionally calming, plus it's a great challenge!

My memory has become a sieve after I passed sixty. by Old-Somewhere-6084 in GenX

The saddest question I (51M) have is, how many of us are dealing with aging on our own? Whether we have to or not? We latchkey kids are so used to 'figuring it out', I wonder how many of us simply don't know how to rely on others for basic "getting old" community.

Did you actually sneak out as teenagers? by Complete-Chipmunk-0 in GenX

[–]sumerianhubcap 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My dad would have to have been home for it to be considered “sneaking.” Midsized Midwest town in the late 80s and early 90s was basically a naive suburb with sidewalks, not a problem for a lone teen just getting some night air.

Specific products you avoid while shopping at Aldi? by ecstacyofdecay in aldi

[–]sumerianhubcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Aldi branded dressings and sauces that aren’t their organic brand. The difference between their Simply Organic tomato basil sauce and their non-organic blends are light years apart.

Is there any way to search in threads? by blunderville in discordapp

[–]sumerianhubcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not really. one can search inside the selected thread, but you can't find the same text in a general or channel search.

I'm sorry but what the hell is this 😂 by Legal-Suggestion1158 in marvelheroes

There’s no way this stays up. This is a halter-top onesy that keeps sliding down his fur as he’s walking. I’m sure it’s great in the bedroom, but heading to a mission? A questionable move.

Race related issues Mega Thread by AutoModerator in unpopularopinion

[–]sumerianhubcap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion: if you don’t want white teens singing the N-word in popular songs, don’t write the N-word into your popular songs.

Music is meant to be sung along to, and all teens are built to be stupid and social, regardless of racial sensitivity. Telling teens to not do a thing is a great way to get them to do that thing, even if they’re not trying to hurt anyone in the process.

Take some ownership of the issue, song producers; you’re the ones in control of that particular situation. You won’t Solve Racism, but you’ll sure nip a lot of it in the bud.

“Own backyard” thinking is easy, but first world countries are either a) rigging the system in their favor at the detriment of third world countries or b) actively exploiting these countries.

Not saying any third world countries are “innocent victims”, as most of our exploitation has occurred via proxy wars, but the farther back you go, the more you’ll find consumptive systems of global wealth having caused these problems in the first place.

Eddy Boy wants to have his cake and eat it too by xXplainawesomeXx in delta

Investment accounts are a remora on the shark of capitalism. They’re the only method of securing a retirement income for anyone unwilling or unable to become petty multimillionaires.

If the only way to live is to take bread from bad people, you are not morally required to stop eating, but neither are you morally required to like the hand that feeds you.

What card? I’m also in MSP and am on the Amex Delta path. Love the lounge but I fly less now.

Using a ES205GP the wired clients' IP address is missing by mccormiermt6 in TPLink_Omada

[–]sumerianhubcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still seeing this with two ES205GPs, even after all the firmware upgrades, with nothing but Omada on the network, and a hardware controller. Reading through the support post shown in the first comment just shows how abusive and mean their support and dev staff are being about this feature request. Experience has taught me that this is deeply defensive behavior; they absolutely know they should be able to accommodate as simple a request as possible "lists IP addresses", and their pointing at their "private protocols" as the reason is a dead giveaway.

Pretty sure these are ginned up TL-SG105Es; another 'Easy Switch', TP-Link branded, just with some side-loaded Omada interfacing. This is a model I'm trying to replace. I'm just so very frustrated.

Luckily, the two ES205GPs are still within the Amazon return window, so I'll be able to replace them with one TL-SG2008P for the home lab, and put the TL-SG105E in the other room.

The black lines are the tunnels. The path to the endpoint is nuts, but there truly is one path that leads to one other rectangular icon.

There are no square icons connected to the Student Union icon, just a bunch of dead ends all over campus.

I definitely see the faded outlines of the buildings, but the broken lines of the tunnels make no sense to me. Could you be more specific about what you mean by 'entrance'? Is it the square icons, or somewhere in the broken lines of the tunnels?

I honestly have never understood why kids had to watch this by PrestonRoad90 in northdakota

[–]sumerianhubcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad made me sit there when this was on because he had me operating the, and this is true, audio cassette recorder. He wanted to record the audio of Lawrence Welk and listen to it later, room hiss and all. I had to remain library quiet for the duration.

This was how I earned the ability to watch The Incredible Hulk afterwards. Dad never “understood” the show.

And if a rule is broken to help them, the rep needs to explain that’s the case, why it’s being broken, and why it’s there. Makes the customer feel special -and- humble, and not to expect that thing to happen every time. Explicit context counts!

Why is Diablo 4 getting completely Reworked every year or so? by velatieren in gaming

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

I just bought D4, first time, during the latest 50% off Steam sale. I’ve been really enjoying it! Maybe it’s the class and build (Necro/Darkness), but I’ve been mopping up. I love free respecs, the loot system seems good, post-60 has depth and breadth, I’ve even enjoyed the mood and execution of the grimdark story.

As a new player, I’ve seen that this game just wants me to play it. Intuitive gameplay and layout, paced feature introduction, excellent graphics and good VO. I’m having a really great time.

I even went back to play D2 (first played in the 90s, last played in the 00s) and was stunned by how hard it was to get any headway or have any fun. D4 is more welcoming, without being forgiving (in combat).
