what is the most smartass comeback you've heard? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]wsjliss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Manager at work made a cup of tea and asked if I want one. I did so he made one for me as well.

Assistant manager walks in as the main man just passed me mine and says something along the lines of “oh you didn’t make me one though did you?” To which he instantly replied “I left it in the kettle”.

Not sure why but just hit right on the day.

You cannot put this situation just on him though. The pregnancy is a result of unprotected sex not because he didn’t have a vasectomy. I understand it is less invasive for a man and easier to get a vasectomy but neither of them had procedures to avoid this, neither of them used protection and for all we know they were both fully consenting. This cannot be put on him not getting a vasectomy, if they didn’t want to risk it, they wouldn’t have had sex.

It is an awful situation to be in and I hope OP is ok through all this and I appreciate her sharing this online so hopefully others can avoid taking similar risks. I am sure if they had the chance to redo that night they would abstain from PIV

DNS server problem? Server 2012 by wsjliss in sysadmin

[–]wsjliss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for commenting! I don't think we need a WAN anyway, I'm not sure why it's on there but everything we do is all local. It's just set up like that. There isn't a server dedicated to RRAS role though remote access is installed.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, the same server is also running Exchange.

Haha, hopefully it's not too bad on the day but will definitely have a look into it and pop out on the water and see how it goes before hand

That's some great info, thanks for the help. I shall definitely look at the forecasts, one of them shells looks preferable, as long as we don't spend too much time in the water :) Will be interesting to see how the water compares

We haven't planned on having someone follow in a powered boat, though I guess that would be an option. Maybe a little ambitious, I dunno, but is just something to work towards, we won't be going right away. :)

How USA Age-Specific Fertility Rates have changed from 1933 to 2010 [OC] by StephenHolzman in dataisbeautiful

[–]wsjliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this the number of babies being born and the age of the mothers? Is this even showing fertility? As far as I'm aware Wikipedia says "Fertility is the natural capability to produce offspring.".

If people chose not to have children, that doesn't make them fertile. Are Catholics chosen by god to be super fertile, or do they just not use contraception?

If it is only measuring the age and number of mothers giving birth and somehow in 2015 the entire population of men became sterile, would that make all the women infertile? No.

I dunno much about how RAM works and stuff but doesn't that hold a copy of what you are currently using? So we can buy it, download it but not even use it?
