I shouldn't respond to this, but: You know I have you on ignore because you are generally a pretentious rear end, right? And I don't care.

That is basically how it ended up working out, but the lower trim piece on the Audi 90 is a single piece that runs the length of the front of the car, versus what is shown there. But yeah, four screws and out it came.

the spyder posted:How bad is your power bill? I ditched all my *running* old gear several years back and moved to a single ESXi host. Our power bill dropped $40/month. (Mind you it was like 10 first gen Dual pIII/p4 Xeon when no one cared about energy savings.) It still flames up when I fire up my Cisco lab, but no worse then when I'm using my 250 amp MIG welder. I really should finish my Cisco CCNA. My power bill is pretty big, but my current running systems are mostly considered 'Company Expenses' as they count towards staying current. Currently, I'm running: Dell PowerEdge R905 - 4 x Quad Core AMD Opteron - 128GB ECC DDR2 Dell PowerEdge R815 - 4 x 12 Core AMD Opteron - 96GB ECC DDR3 - 16TB iSCSI SAS Array And a couple other odd ball servers for testing apps and running VMs for friends to virtual off of. The servers mirror our work servers as a ghetto off site backup to supplement our colo, and let me do testing for roll outs without knocking out the main system.

It's running a combo of vmware/xen/solaris ATM. I actually was planning on removing it this last week, but I don't really have a use for it at home. Plus, work pays for the power/1Gb fiber line.

My dad was a professional welder for years and he doesn't even own one. Yeah, I'd love to just take some basic classes on welding techniques. I've welded before, but I am by no means 'skilled' at it.

I'm going to have to live lean to pull that off but I'll be damned if I don't kick the poo poo out of this. This past year was the first time I've hit 5 figures and held it there....ever. I cannot describe the liberating feeling that savings has actually given me despite what I've thought in the past. Hopefully we'll start putting more away, hope to have at least a 6 month emergency savings if nothing else.

BrokenKnucklez posted:And part of the mess we are in is the fact that people just don't understand money, how it works, etc. Being debt free is good, but its ok to be in debt as long as you can manage your current debt load, and most people can't manage that. I still don't understand why schools can't have a basic fiance course before you graduate why its ok to use credit cards, but with in reason, and be able to pay the balance off with in a couple of months, etc. Or how to properly calculate a monthly budget with excess reserves, and so on. Mainly because a lot of these schools are wholly dependent upon you graduating and applying for unfair college loans. Profit oriented Education will destroy our country in the long run.

cursedshitbox posted:Especially when you can go somewhere else and get it for free. Add profit oriented education in with a hatred for math/science and you get land of the idiots. Because the vast majority of college age students are going to school to get a job to make money. We've made a mockery of education by overemphasizing the possibility of increased income over the things you can DO with the education. So Math, Science, and even in many cases Engineering gets the short end of the stick because they are not high earners generally. Not to mention schools dumping funding out of R&D and into College Sports programs and the emphasis of partying at college and you get American Education.

I get this a lot too, there is some weird emphasis that being able to fix things and being handy is 'bad' in some way. Had a coworker who was awestruck that I even knew how to FIX a car, let alone that I was capable of building one. When I said I fix them, she asked "Why don't you just take it to a mechanic"

loving Windows Server 2012. Theres a bug that causes LanManServer service to hard lock, killing all SMB connections which requires a hard restart of the server as it won't shutdown until LanManServer Service responds....and it won't respond. I hope they fixed it in 2012 R2, because its that or we move our Domain File Server onto a Linux box like I wanted to do originally.

I'm going to chastise you for not looking at the basics because I didn't read the actual problem"  No it isn't you pedantic little rear end, because all other network services (iSCSI, SMTP, TCP/IP) remain responsive and other than SMB connectivity is not inhibited.
