While I agree he is using a stain, he's painting the stain on.

Also F doing that by hand, I'd rather buy a house that matched what I wanted than waste a weekend doing that and getting the stink eye from the wife on the one spot I fell off the ladder and messed up the no so perfect line.

Yeah It's just absorbed into the brick from my understanding. Seems everyone does it this way from what I can see

How else could it be done? Dunking the whole wall in a bucket the size of the grand canyon?

Finger painting

Finger PAINTING. You see?

Bwahahaha

You could also drink it and spit it at the brick like something out of temple of doom. Never not an option

@scottalanmiller Part of the reason? That's a fair statement

Laura’s uncle lives in Florida and has had bipolar disorder for his entire life. Recently he was in a car accident and did not remember driving when questioned about it. He was taken to the hospital and they determined that he has early onset dementia and Alzheimer’s. He is in a state right now where he believes the world is ending and is spending down his life’s savings giving supplies to strangers in order to help. Steve is a very kind man and a very devout Christian. He asked if our churches could pray for him not knowing that we are not religious. I will of course pray for him anyway.

I know we have a few religious people here and if you guys could pray for him (maybe even your place of worship as well) that would be great. I'd love to be able to tell him how much support he has outside of our family.

Thank guys.

I'm going to figure out how to do less than nothing this weekend

@Joy Read a lot. I am enjoying Utopia for Realists currently if you're looking for some interesting reading material

Gotcha.
Glad everyone is okay.. Scary stuff .

It's funny. I'm pretty terrible at dealing with little stupid things that everyone else can handle easily, but the big stuff I handle easily. I'm a pretty weird human

Gonna find it. I am reading books that mostly related to IT thingy.

Currently -
Norwegian book -
The 360 Degree Leader

Next:
The art of connection
The Power of Your Potential

Just kidding, I am always stuck in watching Netflix LOL

I read some of the red hat books pretty frequently and other networking books. The life changing ones have always been fiction though. Ishmael was particularly influential

:man_facepalming: Dude basically has a meltdown because the devs didn't test a 10 year old operating system, which the PV drivers actually work perfectly on anyway.

He doesnt test before upgrading and he is building his work PC out of his own money. Sounds like a great place to work.

Yeah, there were so many issues... Then with "zero IT budget" he is up and changing his virtualization infrastructure?? okie dokie.

He's just backtracking because he realized he is wrong

Man up

I think a lot of people use forums to feed their ego but the reality is we are all trying to improve. Everyone is wrong sometimes. No shame in it.

Here are the ones I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015E65676/.

Purchased these. Will report back.

We came so close to dying tonight in 5e. all lvl 2 fighting something we shouldn't have been able to kill at that level. wild magic sorcerer rolls a 10 and lvl 5 magic magic missiles the thing to death. Legendary. All of us were one hit away from death.

@scottalanmiller Laura woke me up five times last night and then at 4:00 AM the cat was crying for food. I can't win

@EddieJennings what were the issues with your deployment? AMP related or just XA? I just deployed a new environment here and we have yet to have any issues

0. Getting AMP properly installed on the golden images used by the XA streamed servers was a grave challenge.
1. General terrible performance for users of applications served by XA (beyond normal the normal terrible that XA is).
2. When the terrible from #1 is occurring, the VMs serving up the applications eventually become non-responsive -- killing the AMP service solves this.
3. The MAP engine within amp, caused crash of our main file server. MAP is now disabled for that server, and has been disabled for the XA servers at TAC's suggestion for performance problems.

For non XA streamed servers, AMP seems to be doing its job and those servers are performing normally, though there are some one-off issues with deployment of the connector via SCCM.

My environment is extremely responsive. Not sure what the "normal terrible" would be

Greater than a minute to open an application from a Dell WYSE terminal. I'm sure there are usable XenApp environments out there. My first experience with one has been underwhelming at best. Honestly, I'm surprise there hasn't been some kind of user revolt in the last X years, where X equals the number of years XenApp has been used here.

That's insane. Mine is sub 3 seconds

Two of my co-workers don't know what iDrac is. They are network administrators.

If they only ever used IBM gear, that could make sense. IBM calls it something else.

Now - Network Admins don't necessarily do anything with servers, but instead they work on the 'network'

They haven't. Didn't know iDrac or iLo. No IBM experience

Wat! ?

It's not even a judgment from me because there is a lot I don't know that I should. I just thought they would know it is all

I can't imagine anyone not using iDrac/iLo/ipmi.

Right. It's pretty much a requirement to have something akin to it.

Company has bought us in IT a subscription to ITpro.tv. I remember hearing about them on twit.tv advertisements.

How is ITpro.tv?

I likely won’t have time to dig into any content until next week.

Let me know what your experience is. I'm always on the lookout

@kamidon There are usually zones or even specific servers where you can pvp. Not that big of a problem
