What Are You Doing Right Now
-
Can you put out a fire with salt water? You just need some really long hoses and a big pump and you have plenty of water!
-
@Minion-Queen yup, but I pity the guy who has to mop out the tanks after haha

I believe is just burns the salt out of the water and then you just have water. Also causes corrosion in tanks etc. though.

Got a meeting here in about 1 hr.

Umm at this point having to clean the tanks might be worth it don't ya think?
-
Those planes that pickup water and drop it on forest fires... can't they use salt water? sure it will have to be fixed afterwords.. but still.

My point exactly!
-
Why not drop 10,000 pounds of baking soda per trip? It weighs less than water, and would help put the fire out....

Actually there might be a very good reason not to do this.
It might blight the land making it inhospitable to growing things.
-
@Dashrender yup, and while it's not a huge deal in the middle of nowhere, it's really the cost to fix the tanks after the corrosion that stops anyone from doing it.
Edit: tanks, pumps, hoses, cross contamination (sea life -> fresh water = bad), etc.

Figured out where a lot of our space went. 3.0TB Windows C Drive. Never expanded past 30GB in windows but, increased in Vcenter. Now, how to fix it. I don't think you can decrease the size of thick provisioned disks.

@thecreativeone91 good grief, did it log ALL of the things?

Image it to another machine, then delete it and restore the image.

Not worth the trouble for a Windows 2k8 r2 Server. I'll just plan on replacing it with a 2k12 r2 server soon.

Apparently I'm running an Exchange 2007 to Exchange Online staged migration for 1 user...
We upgraded almost a year ago, before I even started working here, but a temp employee just came back and needs access to her email and oh yeah it's on-prem still. Time to learn stuff I shouldn't need to know!
This is how people get a case of the Mondays.

@dafyre It's a thick haze still, with ash falling everywhere like a cheezy end of the world movie

What? that's crazy. Assuming you can connect OUtlook to that server, I'd just create a PST then import that PST into her online profile.
