The ceiling fans in my garage call to me on occasion. Usually that occasion is “sitting in a warm room with no air flow.”

It’s been about 6 years now.

I managed it three times!

I hate to be that guy (since we have OP for that), but it’s “unseemly.”

Oh I’m sure there’s a mountain of monkeys’ paws just curling up a storm somewhere.

Is the weapon triangle active in this iteration of the game? Gothmog could evenly split his spears and axes and make short work of a spear-heavy force. Though it does carry a risk, as axes have lower hit rates. The real threat is the bowmen getting a buff to accuracy thanks to the higher ground. And Legolas’s speed is high enough to double anyone on the roster. If one of those is a crit, anyone but Gothmog is getting OTKO’d.

I still give the edge to Mordor, though they will need to complete the rout before reinforcements arrive on turn 17.

I recently randomed across ‘Spawn Wave’ on youtube.

Well there’s your problem. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

Years back he did some decent teardowns of hardware, but at some point he switched to doing 20 minute daily(?) videos about mostly nothing, just regurgitating news blurbs and random-ass speculation. Not worth anyone’s time.

Excel is the database. Excel is the status console. Excel is the web scraper. Excel is the data analyzer.

All hail the mighty Spreadsheet, let us VBA. 🙏

…I feel seen.

If he spends every second between now and 2028 on a golf course, that would be a best case scenario.

I would have gone with “rotting on a pike in front of Trump Tower,” but you do you.

Believe it or not, straight to death.

Brings a new perspective to Barclay’s dalliances.

Visibility is a good thing.

This highlights one of the things that I saw as a benefit when I started on kbin: being able to see who the downvote fairies were. I know the discussion has been done to death on the Lemmy side, but as a user I found it interesting to be able to see this kind of info. For example, instead of just block/reporting the spammer, I could block their sock puppets that upvoted as well. (And did kbin.social have a lot of that towards the end. Oof.)

Thanks for digging into this.

No, give it to me, I’ll put it somewhere safe. You’ll never see it again, but it’ll be safe.

Just like the screws I need to reassemble my weed whacker.

There’s a kind of learned helplessness with some developers and tests. It’s weird.

I got handed the keys to the network monitoring suite many moons ago. I immediately started editing the default alert actions to display relevant information, and in some outlier cases escalation procedures.

Most times, it was ignored. Other times, it was skimmed and half-followed. A few people outright refused to do anything differently than they had before (kick it up the ladder).

Glad to be rid of that place.

And the grifters sell earthing pads that you can plug into the wall socket and put your bare feet on.

So this was a thing long before the AI boom.

Some c suite dullard at my old job got dinged for not having proper redundancy for a datacenter at one of the companies they binge-ingested. So the “solution” was to build an offsite hot swap replica at another location that was pretty much at capacity for power delivery (and distribution: they let UPS systems run at 90+ capacity for years because “it’s not 100%”, only for there to be a mad scramble once that final straw got reached and the failures started). The power company said it was a minimum 6 month lead time for an additional transformer to be installed with no guarantees.

I can believe that it’s only gotten worse since then.
