I think the issue with reese's cups is volume, you don't get enough bites out of them so it feels like you got ripped off.

There's also the issue where the bottom of the cup always separates when you pull them from their little muffin cup. They really need to get the scientists to solve that one.

Actually, both of those are reasons you freeze them, freezing makes them last longer since it's harder to stuff the whole thing in your mouth.

Take care with that! We have not fully ascertained its function, and the ticking is accelerating.
"You know what?" thinks Agrikk. "I have access to unlimited compute, network and storage and I have a free subscription to MSDN. My last exchange server was 2010 so how about I do a refresher and stand up an Exchange 2016 environment and build it 100% HA with full geo redundancy? This could be fun."


(Here's where Agrikk comes completely unglued.)


Motherfucking cocksucking piece of poo poo. It's been a week and I cannot get mail sent from my new domain out of spam at Yahoo, my work emailbox or Gmail. gently caress you powershell, gently caress you mailhubs, gently caress you edge transports, gently caress you SPF records, gently caress you IPv6, gently caress you IIS, gently caress you SSL, gently caress on-prem email, gently caress me.

All you people who work with Exchange on a daily basis are goddamn voodoo witchdoctors and have my utmost respect because gently caress all of this poo poo. If I was working on physical servers, I am one hundred percent sure one of them would be out on the street though a shattered office window at this point.

Why do I do this to myself?

It turns out the consultant/COO hates Trump, and didn't realize there are plenty of Trumpers here, including the CEO and his inner circle. Right now he sits far away from them, but with the changes he wants in our seating plan he's going to be right in the mix. :getin:

EDIT: ^^^^ Haha... every place I've worked since 2000 I've had to take care of on-prem Exchange, from 5.5 to 2010. Perhaps that explains a few things.

The thing that pisses me off is how Exchange 2016 requires fluent PowerShell to use. So I'm basically teaching myself PowerShell as I teach myself Exchange 2016. I still scratch my head over the command-line-ification of Windows. Sure, PwoerShell is great, but for three decades we've been told to use the GUI and now that we are, "Oh hay, Linux is great! We should Linux too!"

I love PS for deployment, though. Don't get me wrong.

Have you configured Exchange EAC yet? I'm not sure how deep into the settings it lets you go but without it, yeah you're 100% powershell.

Also, it's possible you're being spam-filtered for "newly registered domain" because your poo poo isn't established for long enough yet. Nothing you can really do about that.

Once you start creating a library of ps1 scripts for day to day tasks (createuser.ps1, deleteuser.ps1, etc.) you won't notice the missing gui. As a matter of fact since we started using 100% powershell for standard tasks i'm seeing a drastic reduction of non-compliant users or shared folders. Having a MMC gui tends to enable you to make small mistakes which may become time sinks down the line, with powershell you usually take one hour to do the first user/folder/process and then one second to do the next one in a perfectly reproducible way (until the synthax gets messed up on the next CU/SP)

I actually worked with a guy about 20 years ago who got really mad at a disk chassis that had a hard drive throwing errors. I don't remember why, but I do remember he took a step back, wound up, and kicked the offending drive bay as hard as he could.

The errors cleared up. :downs:

Back when I was in college (almost 20 years ago, drat I feel old now) a buddy of mine had a hard disk drive (one of the first 13GB units if I remember right) that wouldn't spin up in his new PC no matter what he tried. In a fit of rage one night he pulled it out and chucked it into the wall across the room. It bounced off the concrete block and he just left it on the floor overnight. The next morning he picked it up, put it back in the computer, and it spun right up. He used it for several years after that too.

That actually makes some sense, as disks can seize as the bearings or lubrication ages. This is where the stories of putting the hard drive in a freezer come from.

Throwing the drive across the room and letting its temperature settle overnight could very well have loosened the bearings up enough that the motor could get it spinning again.

Of course might have also just managed to actually get the cable seated right after he had his hissy fit, and the drive was just built robust enough to not get damaged.

This. When I started my current job user creation was a massively manual process of create the user object in AD, add to appropriate groups, create mailbox, create home folder, etc etc etc. Babby's First Powershell was to automate all that. Now it does all the work based on the parameters it's fed and prompts for anything that's left out, and I am considered a wizard.
