She’s beautiful!

Oh yeah, Gretel’s brother

You can feel the heartburn radiating from that picture

They probably didn’t have any B1, B2, etc buttons.

It is what it is. I have permanent nerve damage and randomly get bouts of hiccups throughout the day. Sometimes it will be just 2 or 3, sometimes it lasts for a long time. It’s annoying to say the least. But otherwise harmless. They’re the least of my issues so I try to pay them no mind, but they can of course be obtrusive.

As someone who gets the hiccups 10-20x a day every day for the last 16 years, fuck hiccups

I looked at him.

He is indeed cute.

I’m a 26 year veteran systems / infrastructure engineer and often work on large scale data / server migration projects. My homelab is larger and more robust than 95% of the client sites I service; everything is enterprise class hardware and software. I self host my own RMM, VPN, and various data and entertainment services. Most of the things I run here are to make my life better or easier for myself and my family.

My formal education is in business administration; I did not go to school specifically for an IT Degree. It’s just something I love. I went to school to understand the business side of the thing I love, which has been very helpful. If you find a job doing what you love, work can feel like an accomplishment instead of a burden.

Never stop learning!

People are required to wipe down sweaty gym equipment, they should also be required to wipe down the shitter. IDK why this isn’t a thing.

I was gonna say trainblarone, but this works too

As someone who has worked a lifetime in IT, I cannot tell you how unbelievably common this is.

That was one of, if not the only one ever made. It was in the 90’s. Notice the PCI and AGP slots.It was also terrible, the valve was prone to interference from the board, and valves make heat, the enemey of computers.

It’s just better to have an outboard DAC/amp, which of course could be a tube amp, if that’s your jam.

I operate on a simple rule

I see a purrito I upvote a purrito

What a stunning feline!

I work in IT and once had a manager of another department fire off an accusatory email to myself, my management, and a few other leaders, stating I had not fulfilled a request he sent at some point in the past.

It took little to no effort to show my management the email logs directly indicating he lied. He went so far as to edit the header info in the email chain to make it look like I dropped the ball on a certain date.

Accusing one of the infrastructure admins who manages the email server by falsifying email records is not going to lead to a good time.

He didn’t last long.

Is this from gentlemen broncos?

Those bigass ears are so adorable.

My last experience with gopro was many years ago trying to get a firmware update for one of my hero 3’s. The download links for the firmware was there, but broken. It needed the attention of someone on their web management team.

I tried to get support via email but was told I had to go to the community forums for the issue. I found a thread of dozens of other users also pinging support and complaining of a broken link.

That thread went unanswered by support for months if not a year or two. I think it eventually got fixed, but it put such a bad taste in my mouth that so many people reported that their site was broken and they just ignored it. It was probably something simple like a bad character in the page code somewhere. I decided I wasn’t going to support this sort of behavior and have not spent any additional money with the company since then.

It’s no surprise to hear they’re struggling financially. When you cater to the premium market space, you have to provide premium service.
