@Grey The only thing I disliked in that movie was Baby Groot.

You are off the holiday card list, buster.

Rommate just woke up.

This is in the 'what are you doing right now' thread, so are you doing the roommate?

Obviously, Austin.

Spiceworks updated their app. You can finally quote the post you are replying to.

Spiceworks updated something that wasn't marketing related? WHaaaat?

More Subnautica this weekend. I explored the wrecked ship (the big, main wreck) and did the repair task. Looted it of everything important. I'm looking forward to building a prawn suit soon, but I took a break from exploring to do some building at my base and used a bunch of the new blueprints and things I got from the Aurora wreck to make a bedroom and a break/garden/kitchen space. Things are going well! I need to get out and find the 'alien containment' blueprint next. I'm hopeful that the devs fix the bug where rooms that extend above the water currently have the water surface in the room (though, no water).

Edit: This guy did a better job than I did. I bumbled around a bit and had to use the wiki to figure out where I missed some items that were critical.

In NIcaragua, doctors are free and work at pharmacies, but yo udon't need a script for anything. Just buy what you need. But I didn't need anything so didn't test that out.

I need 6 lbs of opioids, for um a cough. . .

Viagara is a popular item as well.

...and we're back to the hot roommate.

I doubt anyone would need viagara there! LOL

Pics of the roommate needed for veracity.

Justine Damond's fiance 'heartbroken' over police shooting
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40639140

My favorite part of that whole thing is how the mayor and the police department just went through an entire court case that involved body cameras that were mysteriously off at a critical time. Obviously, no lessons learned. Body cameras need to be on 100% of the time, and they mustn't be able to be tampered with by the officers.

OJ Simpson is getting out of jail.

The Juice is loose!!!

Yeah. . . he'll be juicing and back at holding people at gun point in no time. . .

I'm sure at the parole hearing he probably said something like "yeah, but I'm not as bad as Bill Cosby".

oh shit, shots fired!

Well..... Cosby drugged and raped 54 women. OJ only murdered 1 and robbed 1.

Well... yeah up to 54 women.

That's a lot like an IT guy saying I work up to 22 hours a day. . .

I feel like the Cosby number is a bit low... he's kind of a piece of shit.

He totally is, and should be put to death. I don't disagree, but at some point you have to wonder what the hell were the people around him doing / not doing to allow this kind of thing to continue.

Once you're famous, you can get away with almost anything.

Like becoming president after being recorded saying this same phrase along with specific instructions on where to grab.

This is an interesting thread. Overprovisioning the servers to six instead of two led to getting four SANs instead of zero. So the cascade of overprovisioning led to something like a 500% over-purchasing of gear. Ten boxes instead of two.

If you know what this is, then you know what game I'm playing.

Just overheard from one of the T1 guys, "Macros generated by sufficiently evil people can install viruses." I'm grinning like a loon over the part about sufficiently evil.

Started playing Player Unknown Battlegrounds yesterday and it's loads of fun.

Holy hell @Nic is alive

Last that I heard, you were working from home with the cannabis industry.

One of the many benefits of working from home

Snowing ash. Yellow sky.

What did you do to that poor machine???

Don't know if you have access to it but the best way to get remove dust is to blow it out with compressed air, preferably from an air compressor. Otherwise it's very difficult to get the dust that is inside things like power supplies.

Yeah it's not in the best of places for dust (in the same room as a tumble dryer)
Got most of it off with hoover, but next time will be buying some compressed air cans, or try and remember our portable one.

Get a small, portable air compressor. You'll save money in the long run, and it's less waste. Bonus: you can fill tires or use other pneumatic tools.

I also use a vacuum cleaner with attachments for tiny nook cleaning or general use in the case. It's sometimes better than blowing the dust everywhere. I only use the air compressor when I clean in my garage with the door open.

Oracle licensing is so fucked.

Got my free game. Go get it!

I awoke at 630a yesterday and instead of going back to sleep, I put my esxi system in to maintenance mode, added a 7tb raid10 (4x4tb drives) and upgraded from v6.0 to v6.7u3. After bringing everything back up, I created a 6tb datastore for Nethserver to use and then I spent an hour on how that wants to use mounted file systems vs shares, which I resolved. Then, by 10am, I began moving data from on of my plex libraries to the new datastore and left the house. New docking station for my WFH setup. Home, installed it, but now I need a gov't IT admin from the workstation division to put in a password for driver installs.

A good day, but I have 2 docks on my desk now and too many cables everywhere. Data moves didn't finish until almost 7pm. Plex is happy, though.
