My last job is currently controlling kubernetes with Ansible (configuration management and orchestration) in a hybrid cloud model. The new engineering director likes yaml so they put yaml on his yaml.

That era of Internet history was wild. Between weird sex stuff like that and tentacle soup, weird body stuff like goatse and tubgirl, and straight up death like two guys one hammer. It seemed like every third person on the internet was trying to trick you into watching one of those.

Report, block, and move on folks. If the mods want this place to harbor racists then they’ll do nothing. But you did your job.

You can’t really cook a person’s rib primal the same way you’d do beef. People meat is not marbled like beef so you’d want to cook it low and slow with a lot of moisture.

So while you could have a people prime rib sandwich, it’s not going to have a great texture.

Fitz the Cat happened in '72.

I like to add bourbon to that mix to thin it out a little. That’s Christmas to me.

Yeah, I do. Right after I got done doing it for work the singer in our band booked us at Trees. So I spent all that time driving back and forth, then drove out on Saturday with a car full of equipment.

It’s not like it was a big deal and that’s such a fun venue. I had a great time. I just can’t think of it without remembering that drive haha.

I hope you had a place to store your equipment there so you didn’t have to load and unload everyday at least. Doing that every day would have been my nightmare.

I grew up in Podunk Northeast Texas so I have the drawl. But I left and spent a lot of time all up and down the eastern seaboard married to a woman that grew up out west. So my brain added every affectation I ran across to the drawl.

Now I have the long vowel sounds in a fairly rapid speech pattern, do the weird O sound they use in South Carolina, will occasionally pronounce house like I’m from Ontario, and have a hard time saying my first name if I don’t concentrate.

I still sound mostly like a shoeless Texas hillbilly bootlegger but with a bunch of exceptions. So it makes me sound drunk as hell, until I am drunk. Then the exceptions leave and I sound like I just got off work at the oil rig and I’m headed to the strip club to cheat on my wife before heading back to the trailer.

Sounds like when I lived in Tyler and had to work in the DFW Metro for a job. I spent months driving back and forth. Luckily my travel was paid.

My favorite is Stop Having Fun, Guys. Broken Base hits too close to home for too many franchises I enjoy.

So I went and looked. OP seems like a very unhappy individual. I found traces of the below plus a lot of the “whiney entitled gamer” archetype. I sure hope they find happiness someday.

“Stop Having Fun” Guys

You two are overlooking the most important thing. It might be fun to crazily rip out the cables then make a junior guy go trace and repatch it all. The opportunity to legitimately do that doesn’t come along often.

I don’t know that sending it to a random Latina would work. She’d probably be weirded out by some random person removed about a game.

I posted elsewhere about my setup. I have a rig in one room and a mini PC set up as a “console” using HoloISO connected to a TV. I stream games to it.

If it’s your only rig I recommend what the other person said. Get a full PC or catch a gaming laptop on sale unless you have a very specific use case. You can play modern games on higher end ones but you’ll get more bang for your buck out of a PC. You can make your own Ship of Theseus and upgrade parts one at a time.

That’s not being slackass. You bringing in a machine to watch porn on is your supervisor’s problem, not IT’s.

I was told multiple places that the only thing they wanted filtered was malware sites. They have a C-level who wants to watch porn but don’t want to pay for someone to set up access groups? Don’t want to pay or give time to have someone lock down the network? Not my monkey, not my circus.

Of course it’s come a long way since I was doing it. Those things took time. Now you just set up your access list based on directory services groups and click a few buttons. But it’s still not my problem.

They’ve been reinvented repeatedly. Citrix, terminal servers, thin clients, cloud desktops, web apps, remote app delivery…

Most people (not necessarily here) need a web browser and an office program. Most people are well suited to terminals or something like a Chromebook.

I need actual hardware for my job and hobbies, but even I have a mini PC set up like a gaming console so that if I want to play games on my bedroom TV I don’t have to hook up my Steam Deck or gaming laptop. I just stream them.

TSR owned D&D at the time, but WOTC was a thing. They started Magic in '93, bought TSR in the late 90s, then sold to Hasbro just before '00.

Not that any of that matters.

Can be done, but the timing has to be right. My buddy got a midrange gaming laptop during prime days (from a different retailer) that was regular priced around $1500 at the time for $850. I don’t like the one he got but I understand his reasoning.

If OP is looking to buy today, maybe. If they can hold off another couple of weeks then there’s a smaller “big sale” going on that they may be able to game to get something sub $1k that would normally be more.

If they don’t care about playing the very latest at 4k high then they’ll likely be able to get 5 years out of it.

Yep. I like guns. I like old guns. I wouldn’t show up to someone’s job telling them to include me in their project unless I was invited.

I asked it for something in Powershell and it did the same thing. I asked how it came up with that function and it said it doesn’t exist but if it did that’s how it would work.
