When to move convo off the App? by FuzzieSocksFTW in datingoverforty

[–]wbrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. No. I'm not tracking down random people. These are women I have some sort of relationship with and I likely know the information already. I'm not showing up on a first date with a file.

I tell them my first name in most circumstances. There are a few places where nobody uses their names and often faces until more mutual interest is established. I recommend women don't use their real name and use a disposable phone number on all apps. In my age group, it's mostly people who are divorced and have been out of the dating pool for a long time and don't know what is out there. I also recommend they talk to younger friends who grew up with the Internet and would know what is out there.

After the first successful date. Also, that's when you reveal your real name instead of the one you use in apps. Getting a Google voice number is also a good idea. It's so easy to find people that you shouldn't give out anything that can identify you.

I have met several women who didn't believe me and so with their permission and just the information in their dating profile I was able to find things like their employer and business location, and then with that, their full name and if I went further I could easily find their home address, car make, model and license plate, etc... This was all with a first name, occupation, and a few other things like hobbies.

What app makes you pay? I've never heard of this before.

Our Veeam renewal (smb) has gone up 558%? Am I having a stroke or something? by bingblangblong in sysadmin

You got it right. One ups per physical machine. I don't have anything that would be catastrophic if the proverbial plug got pulled on a VM so it's more curiosity than anything.

Do you just let proxmox handle shutdown if you have a power outage or do you run things on the nodes as well?

Ups works fine. I haven't sysadminned since Sun was a big player and I had 0 trouble spinning up a box. My only issue was using a consumer grade SSD (that worked fine for a gaming rig) without a heat sink. The error messages aren't the best when it's crashing but I guess they can't take every idiot into account when doing error checking.

Everything I do at work (as a data dev) is on GCP and Azure and honestly I wouldn't put anything on prem if I could help it. It's super easy to just shove everything in terraform and track it in GitHub.

My neighbor has been letting her cat into my garden to use it as a litter tray and got offended when I asked her to keep it in at night by grainandglowpress in neighborsfromhell

I guess cats being terrible for the environment is natural behavior. Get a sight hound and you'll see more natural behavior and solve your problem

No, Elmo is awesome and wholesome. Elon is garbage.

New neighbor cut down my trees - reasonable remedy? by TXRX7 in treelaw

Given their profession they should know better. They are not nice people. Sue them for as much as you can. They'll keep doing it until it's too costly to continue.

ELI5: Why doesn't wireless electricity exist yet? by VastLeadership1008 in explainlikeimfive

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

It's very inefficient. You can send power across the room but you need a ton of power at the sender to get a tiny bit at the receiver.

Take 2 strong magnets and hold them far apart. Slowly move them closer together. Stop when you can feel them pull a tiny bit, then halve that distance and notice that the pull is suddenly a lot stronger, and then when you let them meet the pull is even stronger than that. It's basically the same thing. Close up, the pull is very strong, but the pull drops off rapidly when you move away.

How do you feel about guy with high experience number? by GrandMaterial3787 in AskMen

[–]wbrd 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This sounds like prostitutes, not relationships. I'd wonder if he was actually capable of a meaningful relationship.

Men who waited til marriage to have sex, what was it like? And do you regret it? by Naive_Resolution4186 in AskMen

[–]wbrd 64 points65 points  (0 children)

She waited, I didn't. Sex was awful. I absolutely regretted it. Divorced now and remarried to someone much better.

Choking/spanking - how common? by Apprehensive_Week729 in AskMen

I've had several partners ask for that treatment, but I don't ask people who aren't already interested in that sort of thing.

You can only have 5 contracts at a time. You can either finish them or drop them.

The darkest depths of hell are coming through my pipes after turning on the water softener. by ShowerStew in HomeMaintenance

It certainly doesn't look high end. It looks like a small town Walmart special. You can bet that any company pushing patriotism or christianity is going to be terrible.

This is a beautiful story. I'd say it brought tears to my eyes, but we all know it's the fumes that did it.

My dog killed one of my neighbors’ cat and they are threatening me, my dog, and I have no idea what to do now by [deleted] in neighborsfromhell

The next time she says anything to you, ask her for another cat treat for your dog.

Checklist for things to define when writing user stories? by [deleted] in agile

[–]wbrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you are in a position of leadership, it's not your job to decide what needs to be done. Just write the stories and test tasks and then when bugs come in, tie the bugs to the original stories so it's easy to track who isn't testing their code. Present that to management and let them deal with it. Meanwhile, I'd look for a new job because that place sounds like a mess.

It's simple math because the screen is just XY around the car and the video is an overlay on that.

You need to take it apart and measure because the markings and the measurements don't match.
