They ALMOST go past @CCWTech house as well when they go down the street just after that.

In Dec I was informed I was going Month to Month at the end of the six months..

I think that's you're answer. They feel like they need to revaluate month to month. I would have argued for at least 3-6 month contracts or been looking to leave within a month or two max

I agree, that's your notice that you need to be actively looking. Month to month means that they AND you are supposed to evaluate the relationship every 30 days.

My manager (IT Manager) messaged me a screenshot of speedtest.net results from one of our DC's that showed there is 33 ms ping times, and that I should look into this. I login the DC, pull up command line, ran a continuous ping to 8.8.8.8 with solid 3ms ping times. I sent him a screenshot of the command prompt and said ping times look solid to me, and speedtest.net does not give accurate results of network latency from a computer as the built-in ping utility from windows.

This is basic troubleshooting, and is just sad.

@JasGot Aren't you the one who asked how to do this?

I assume you are referring to my post of the script I came up with yesterday AFTER I read your post suggesting a script to do it?

Geeeeesh. The next time I want to share a solution I came up with, as a result of your suggestion, I won't.

LOL - there was no indication that you just created that -but that's awesome that you tossed something together so quickly.

The idea that you would create a business that never makes money and get rich buying and selling that worthless business to higher and higher bidders sounds insane. But all of the US economy is built on that.

Just think of the age of the industrial revolution. America is the "IDEAS" country. So much of our money is based on "Ideas" ie; My company will make huge profits in the future (Amazon), My company's product will be in everyone's pocket in under two years (Apple), My brand will be a household name very soon (Coke-A-Cola, Dell), Our service will become a verb in every language on earth (Google).

It's the future of these ideas that generates interest, investment, and wealth for those who invest. Just think of all the millionaires Coke-A-Cola made for people who have no idea how to blend the drink or manufacture it or even distribute it.

Yes, but also a system of "someone way down the line has to make it come to fruition." There is a system where 90% of the people involved only deal with the ideas, not making the ideas a reality. That's not saying it is bad, but it's important in understanding how the American economy functions.

Liesl is addicted to the Danganranpa games. She's binging the second one now. Finished the first one yesterday.

But now I get the message that I do not have enough reputation.

I'm not aware of any reputation limit to posting a question. What topic are you trying to post in?

For a week my app has not been showing all of my crowns, either. And some achievements disappeared (not my progress on them, the entire achievement.)

This is my friend Bohdan. He's one of the people who pre-purchased a ticket for MangoCon 2020 that got postponed because of COVID. So everyone almost got to meet him. He was working in Dallas in 2019 and we hung out a bit. He's a software engineer based in eastern Ukraine. He recently opened a bar and was interviewed on CNN talking about the war.

I found an old Midi to USB cable over the weekend. ordered a USB to lightning adapter to try it out on her iPad.

Currently having my mind BLOWN by this crazy, Siberian throat singing album my neighbor let me borrow. It's kinda metal-esqe, very heavy, but it's just voice and traditional folk instrumentation. And it's a studio album, so their use of reverb and other effects add to the uniqueness. NYTT LAND!!!

@dafyre said in Hello:

My wife and I were out to lunch one day and within seconds of one another, we got phone calls that appeared to be from her number.

It was hillarious. Of course, we didn't answer.

I raise holy hell with vendors who do that shit! How fucking dare you call me pretending to be my own number!!!

I guarantee if I get a call from my wife's number or my own number (has also happened once), and it is a vendor, I will be reporting them all over the place... oh, and not doing business with them ever again.

Besides, I only have once car, I don't need six warranties.

Saw that, so sad. He wasn't all that old. But definitely not in great physical condition.

Anyone using this browser?
I've heard good things online about it, but whats the community thoughts on it?

Didn't know they had a browser but now I'm going to give it a spin.

I just downloaded it on my iPhone - debating on download for my laptop..

Where do you get it? I went to the website, there was nothing there. Just an extension for my current browser.

It's a an app on iPhone as the default browser.

I think you'll find it just looks that way and is actually still Safari.

All web browsers on iphone are repackaged safari afaik, even chrome.

I know that that was true in the past. I'm just assuming that it has not changed. I can't find any reference to it having changed. So I think that that is still true.

Yeah got lazy and I didn't read through everything yet. Just commented on that. But finally made it to the end.
