I spent the holidays with my brother, his girlfriend and my fiance`. My brother (Josh) lives in Brooklyn and has become essentially a judgmental vegan smoker which I've experienced a lot of any time I go visit him--people who do hard drugs but won't eat bread. While we were at my Grandma's I told her to turn on some music I thought she'd like and she did in fact enjoy it. Now Josh and his girlfriend unleash their inner Brooklyn and just destroy this music that everyone was enjoying. I was triggered by this situation which came to fruition apparently today.
Is it just me or did everyone forget that they like liking things? I have heard nothing but judgment about music, movies, TV shows, hobbies etc for so long it's almost normal to me now but it shouldn't be. In my opinion people who behave this way are attempting to be special or out of the ordinary and in reality they are exactly like everyone else around them. If you really want to standout nowadays you'll shop at the gap and listen to Dave Matthews Band.
It kind of reminds me of high school. I was friends with pretty much everyone but the coolest kids to me were the outcasts. I didn't realize until later that the reason I thought that was because they didn't give a shit about what the other kids thought and they were just being whoever it was that they were at the time. This is part of the reason I feel like I can't relate to people anymore because everyone my age acts like a complete idiot.
Can anyone relate to this or is it just me?
Ugh... hipsters.
It's not even just hipsters though it's people who have adopted their judgmental mindset too. Seems like everyone my age in NJ is like this practically. I can't stand it.
You're right. Getting into a sort of recursive logic, I've had this conversation quite a few times, what seems to have happened is that people were so constantly and consistently told it was cool to be different, that they took this as "Don't like something that someone else does" and it shows in their criticism. So they try to anti-conform to things, and what makes it funny is that this is now the standard thing to conform to- anti-conformity.
Basically they defeated their purpose by making that their purpose. But, this is just my theory based on my experience with it.
I was thinking about this this morning. Like cosplay and comic cons. It used to be for nerds or whatever. Now it is the most mainstream conformist activity in the known universe. It's the very definition of "following the crowd".
Don't remind me - it really sucks!

Please write an article on cosplay best practices. Please.
Step 1: Contemplate your costume carefully.
Step 2: do something not lame instead.That's all I have. I have literally zero understanding of cosplay culture. It's just some weird combination of ultra "follow the crowd" and stripping. It's the modern version of 1990s high school cheerleaders. Nothing wrong with it. It's just a socially accepted version of soft stripping. For people who want to strip but don't feel comfortable being honest about it.
I think my costumes are the exactly opposite of stripping.

Girls do it for the attention. Guys do it because they are that geeky, and because the girls there might talk to them (but only for the attention).

Except that more often than not it's guys who pay attention to you because you're in a band. When the girls do pay attention, they do it a little more aggressively, so there's that...

Well the cosplay setup wouldn't be that much different, except that the guys in cosplay are mostly ignored except by the 1% of women looking for something, so that - hell I don't know what I'm saying.

Updating production server iDRAC firmware... again. Apparently you can't jump from 1.66.65 to 2.40.40.40 without an intermediate version. Hooray for tedium!

Good question. I guess I just updated BIOS and forgot the FW. Until they all started throwing 1004 errors, which is a bug in the FW itself.

Awesome news!!!! I just got the green light for project "E-Ring Hyper-V - Virtualize the Infrastructure"!!! Of course, there will be a testing period (hello, test lab!), but I will soon start P2V-ing older boxes and decommissioning them!
I'll probably be asking some stupid questions very soon, stay tuned for all the excitement!

I have glanced at that one. I've spun up a couple of 2008R2 P2Vs here in the past, seemed to do OK. But that is a good resource to have handy, I'll be bookmarking it.

I'm gonna be installing Hyper-V 2016 on the bare metal. I hope that the hypervisor itself doesn't become an issue.

Do you get new hardware with this too?

@Dashrender said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
Do you get new hardware with this too?
It's from a test environment, maybe a year old Dell R430, 64GB, Hex core single CPU. We plan to fill it with 8x drives (either 900GB/10k or 1TB/7.2k) and some more RAM. If this goes well initially, I'm sure they will buy a bigger host machine.
-
LOL - don't just throw drives at it, design it. Find out what you need for space and IOPs for it's expected load and then buy what you need
I recently posted a thread about IOPs.
