I am thanks to a combination of my learning how credit should actually be used and careful budgeting as well as an excellent choice to get into information technology. I can actually support my adult son as well as take care of his brother and my disabled wife and living what would’ve largely been considered middle class by their standard. At this point they were getting mortgage calls for juggling payments and spending wrecklessly while living in a double wide mobile home in the rural appalachias.

I battled a hairy canine attacking him with water conditioner and forged steel combs for the glory of the empire!

US Marshals report to the DOJ, which is part of the executive branch, all Trump needs to do is instruct the DOJ to stand down.
Probably some overlap but I have to assume people who have donated to his election coffers are also promoted to the top of his pick lists

According to my high schooler this would be inaccurate, as in his school people would be on their phones, creating tiktoks, screaming across the room at each other and barely getting anything done. This does resemble my high school experience like 20 years ago lol

Similar happened to me as well, got sucker punched by my bully at the lockers in jr high, they tried to give me out of school suspension, which lasted for a day, my mom got me back in chewing out the principal

This news has me worried that Gaza will be the new camp for “undesirables” that we’re struggling to deport. I sure hope I am wrong.
I resonate quite a bit with this, I just had to take a demotion because of a long term medical condition renders me unable to return to office 3 days a week. I was doing a great job as a Solutions Architect, but since they feel that the role is only good in person and not over technology I had to step down to a senior developer role. Hopefully I overcome this condition but it is lifelong but can be managed, but this feels like the first gate I’ve been hit with since starting to ascend as an IT Professional. RTO is dumb, especially with potential pandemics on the horizon. My wife is complete and total disabled and barely makes it out of our room, so I’m on the hook to bring home the money to keep everything running. It is frightening times in this shit show.
Actually it does, if one is objectively worse, then the other has to be at least the smallest percent better, that’s just simple word comprehension.
Feel your pain there, my second and longest role was doing automated phone systems(IVR) and sadly Everytime I call another company I hear all of their fuckups
Oh definitely, really the UPS on my server only gives the server enough time to shut down services gracefully, and notify other systems when the battery of the UPS is almost dead, and then it shuts the other PC and itself off before battery hits critical. All told that’s like 30 minutes at most
Thanks looks like I’d probably get about 100 minutes at 80 watts of draw. Better than nothing but only a drop in the bucket during storm season around me unfortunately, if storms continue to grow in intensity I can expect at least 1-2 complete overnight outages a year
I have one of those for my home server, how long can a CPAP run off one of those?
Definitely how I feel when the power goes out and I can’t use my CPAP, get absolutely shit or zero sleep, I need to get a generator at some point

It is always nice when a game can turn itself around
- TheRagingGeek@lemmy.worldtoSteam@lemmy.ml•Do you overthink your Steam categories or are you normal?5·6 months ago
I have an _installed, a backlog in general, genre based dynamic categories, and a few special categories such as “bad games that should feel bad”, “broke shit check for patch later” “GFWL Broken” and “games of lost interest”

You would be forwarding ingress traffic(traffic not originating from your internal network) to 443/80, this doesn’t affect egress requests(requests from users inside your network requesting external sites) so it wouldn’t break your internal DNS resolution of sites. All traffic heading to your router from outside origins would be pushed to your reverse proxy where you can then route however you please to whatever machine/port your apps live on.
Even the ones you haven’t listened to since the late 1900’s? I mean the ones you think rock are probably ones that you continue to listen to well past high school
Really shows me how traumatized I am by United Health Care when I see UHC and it immediately brings them to mind and not Universal. I had to put in some work to understand that Acronym
I too am polyjamorous
