This was the second time in an hour I got bit because the windows were open, thanks a lot heat wave. Are garden hoses these days single use? Growing up we would have the same hoses forever but everytime I turn around it's got a puncture.

Get the reddish-brown heavy duty hoses. They cost three times as much, but I've never had a problem with them kinking, collapsing or getting pinholes. They last forever.

do NOT buy the weird expandable things that look like women's hair scrunchy or whatever they're called, those hoses are 110% garbage and will explode all the time.

Buy the black rubber hoses from Sears when they go on sale, last I saw was a 75' for ~$24. Heavy as poo poo but they have the Craftsman lifetime warranty, resist kinking, and won't turn into PVC pipe when the temperature drops.

Crowley posted:Well poo poo. I just bought one of those. My evidence is obviously anecdotal and probably has a lot to do with proper care plus location. I'm from the midwest, and tons of customers that I dealt with when in the construction business would have those hoses or have had, and there were always problems. They'd last a year or two at most and often what would happen is they would use it with a nozzle and when they let go of the handle (closing the valve) on the nozzle, it would be too much pressure for the hose and it would burst.

Sounds like they were left out in the sun for the UV rays to break down the shroud.. which the manual explicitly says not to do. Anyways, I'll use it 'till it breaks and make a cost/benefit analysis after that.

Double post because this is actually relevant to the thread. It's pissing me off that I can't google any info on whether administrative templates for Office 2016 is language independant or not. Apparently you can only download one admin template package - which includes 11 different languages - but looking back I recall something about Outlook in particular being a bitch to make GPOs for because the language would change the names of folders and settings. Goddamn, Microsoft. I just want to make a stupid GPO about Outlook's stupid OST files, and where it can stick them.

The store I work at sells those hoses. We started accepting all returns on them no questions asked because they blow up constantly. We started selling them one summer then the next spring we had a ton of people coming back with burst hoses. Would not recommend at all.

What really bugs me is those people that have multi-line prompts. What the gently caress is wrong with them that they need that much information printed, every single time they press enter? And usually with a bunch of ansi colors set. All I need is the indicator whether I'm root and the hostname. Sometimes the current directory is useful, but usually not. Never the full path though.

I get that Java is a huge piece of poo poo, but why is Java such a huge piece of poo poo by design? I received a request to "whitelist a website for Java security via GPO." There isn't a Group Policy native way to do this since managing the Java whitelist is incredibly goofy. Is this doable? Absolutely, but why is it so painful?

The new guy I hired is pretty awesome, but holy poo poo he refuses to use a gui. I get it, we use Linux, our product uses Linux, our development is in Linux, and our servers run Linux. But for fucks sake, stop using VIM to look at files. Your IDE is up, I see it, you don't need to use the terminal for everything. I've been using Linux since I was 10, I don't use the console for everything because I don't have to! You have nothing to prove to me! If he was faster at using the terminal I wouldn't complain, but he fumble-fucks his keys quite a bit because VIM is a steaming dumpster fire.

I get it, we use Linux, our product uses Linux, our development is in Linux, and our servers run Linux. I'm not afraid to admit any more that I'm more capable of navigating Linux via command line (the two guys that know more about the OS in general at this point are so stuck in their own ways that they refuse to use a lot of shortcuts) than the majority of my team, despite being a junior member by quite a bit. And because they're a Linux shop I think I know more about navigating Windows than all of them combined. (We use Windows 7 / office 365 on our desktops, all our remote locations run Linux). I'm our little group's Windows help desk. We don't really have a GUI option since we're just ssh'ing 90% of the time. And the desktops are locked the hell down. So it's insanely frustrating watching the guys that can't navigate CL properly fumble with typing - including the guy (kid, really) who is proclaiming he's going to go full Linux in his home before they pry Windows 7 from his cold dead hands. The reverse is that we're constantly dealing with remote devices and eventually one of the more experienced guys will just say "oh they're probably just doing this" or "there's no way the error could say that" and waste so much drat time trying to get them to try again or explain it better. Jesus Christ we can look at the desktop guys. Just create that ssh tunnel and fire up VNC. Then you can see what they're doing. e: Sheep posted:poo poo pissing me off: cabling companies whose poo poo for brain for installers don't leave a service loop.

Oh boy it's time for another round of employee engagement surveys! Which are "anonymous" in that you only have to tell them department, age, and gender. I bet they'll never be able to figure out which 30 year old woman in IT left all the negative comments!!

Is there any way for them to know if you lie about age and gender, and leave the rest of your feedback honest? On second thought, I guess this approach is hazardous in that it could bring flak upon other undeserving employees. Still, they really shouldn't need that information for the survey I would think.

I bet they'll never be able to figure out which 30 year old woman in IT left all the negative comments!! I refused to answer mine this year for this reason. I answered honestly last year. My already adversarial relationship with my boss got even more rocky a few weeks later when he found out who gave the survey. (I'm the only remote employee in his team, so guess how he found out!) HR pushed me about it, and I told them it was either lie (and say my boss is great!) or not take the survey at all. They let me not take the survey.

The survey is being conducted by an outside company, and you get to the it via a unique URL so in the end its not anonymous at all. Would the company reveal to our upper management who said what specifically? Probably not but I still don't feel like I could really speak my mind on the thing. A clear indictment of our company culture, which the survey is meant to reveal, so now I'm stuck in a catch-22. Last year's survey results were never even fully disclosed after we received ratings significantly lower than other similarly sized organizations in our field. The worst scoring categories were staff pay, career development, and whether staff felt senior management's actions supported the organization.

And a lot of guis slow tasks down by requiring clicking in a dozen different places to do a thing while the cli might use a handful of options or editing a config file. There's upsides and downsides to both approaches. Stop giving a poo poo how people use computers and worry about whether they can get their work done or not. (though I stand by my multi-line command prompt comment, that will always be dumb)

I don't normally; if he wants to fumble gently caress his way around on the CLI instead of using the GUI that's his prerogative, but if he is actively trying to show me something or asking for assistance, then it becomes a issue because I have to stand there and wait for him to gently caress up some vim command for the 5th time in a row.

Haha. Right in the middle of a major transformation that absolutely everyone except the very top management hates and is thoroughly demoralised about, they sent out of these employee surveys. I have never hit 'strongly disagree' so hard. I think they must have done it as some kind of stress release for us: there's no way any vaguely self-aware manager could expect anything except a highly negative response.
