Cat Terrist posted:I thought I had walked into someone's stash but I've since found out cannibas grows wild here and it's dead easy to find. It's probably wild-growing hemp. Happens all the time in places where it used to be grown when it was still a legal commercial crop. Grows like a weed and is visually indistinguishable from marijuana and as stated at best will give you a headache before it makes you high.

Tusen Takk posted:can someone please explain why husky and golden retrievers are not on my apartments restricted list but Labrador retrievers are? My wife works at a high end dog training center and golden retrievers are one of the most frequent breeds they get for "dog almost ate someone's face and will be put down if this doesn't work" cases. I would guess it's either breed popularity to turn away existing dog owners or else they had some really bad experiences with lab owners in the past.

bennyfactor posted:Does it have some sort of inlet from outside the house or something? My parents have had a wood stove since before I was born. Once you get it up to temperature you put it into "airtight" mode, where it reduces airflow and depending on the model sends the exhaust into a catalyst (typically referred to as "secondary combustion chamber.") If you put the work into collecting firewood all summer it's essentially a free heat source.

some texas redneck posted:Irony: I just noticed that the cable between the router and my desktop is marked as CAT5 (no E) - and it still links at gigabit speeds. This is normal, if you were to transfer a large file you'd find the actual transfer speed is (probably) considerably lower than gigabit. You only need CAT-5E/6 if full duplex speed is a requirement or if your runs are near the maximum length .

Raluek posted:Isn't the spec that you're supposed to have no more than 1" of untwisted wire length across the whole run? It's something like that. I don't remember exactly. This might be a concern if you're wiring up patch panels for an enterprise data center, but a little extra untwisted wire at the panel really isn't going to matter that much for home networking.

Depends on how it's wired up at the opposite end. Since CAT-5 isn't a standard cable for phones there really isn't going to be a wiring guide that will apply for every situation. I'd either backtrack the cable or else figure out which pair is connected with a volt meter. POTS only needs a single pair.

You can do 90% of the labs with GNS3 and a self study guide and the other 10% with a cheap 2600 series router and 2950 managed switch, then pay $300 to sit for the 200-120 composite exam. CCNA will land you a higher paying network administrator/engineer job a lot faster than net+.

The turnpike commission finally got off their rear end and rebuilt them on the ends of the turnpike instead of having the first rest stop travelers hit coming into the state being a shithole built in the mid-1950s, and not seriously remodeled since the Carter administration.

Wrar posted:My TMO Galaxy S4 has been increasingly unable to find it's SIM card randomly. Well, those bouts have gotten more and more frequent. In desperation, I flashed a rooted stock ROM. Storage encryption came up and then decided it couldn't see the SIM anymore. I'm done. This was a known issue and you're likely hosed - the problem is the connector on the main board for the SIM/SD tray doesn't make a good connection. You could try gluing a small piece of an old credit card on top of the ribbon cable to try to add more pressure to keep it seated but this just delayed the inevitable when it happened to my wife's phone.

Tusen Takk posted:he told me to brush up on my Microsoft stuff...other than general trouble shooting, what else should I brush up on? Knowing your way around the MS family of operating systems & office applications and a rudimentary understanding of adding/maintaining users in Active Directory (which is basically adding/maintaining users on any flavor of Windows going back to 98SE/2000 with a few bells & whistles added) is what most people are looking for in an entry-level help desk position. If you haven't done that in recent memory there are plenty of "setting up a 2008/2012 domain and adding users to AD" videos on YouTube and if you know how to do virtualization you could set up a 2008/2012 server VM and play around with it.

Hiring managers apparently still haven't got the message that the job market isn't what it was in 2008 and you can't ask for a master's degree, 10+ years experience and a dozen high-level certifications and expect a glut of applications for $35k/year. I'm recently back in the job market (just had my position eliminated) and I've had a number of recruiters call, talk about how great my qualifications are and how I'm a shoe-in for whatever position but then say "by the way, you have a CCIE, right?" at the end of the call.

DICKPOCALYPSE NOW posted:Its actually 50 and the white phone, the maxx is black and free. So two points in its favor with a strong negative being if I was reading the sign correctly no expandable storage. I hate having to pick and choose which music makes the cut. But ghe white phone aspect is because as a mechanic everything i own gets blasted by grit and oil and it shows up a thousand times faster on white. Ah, I read it as "S4 is $50, Maxx is $100." I will say that if you throw the S4 into a decent case and use a screen protector the phone should look like new in a few years. When I turned my work-issued S3 in (which had spent it's entire life in an Otterbox) it appeared to be brand-new and the only major problem was the power button was flaking out. Also in the positive aspect field for the S4 is end-user replaceable battery and you can take it apart to replace individual components (like the camera or charging port) with a #00 phillips screwdriver which is good for longevity.

Try rebooting the computer, or try another USB port. If it's plugged into a port on a media reader or on the front of the case try a port on the back that's directly connected to the system board. Also might be worthwhile trying another USB cable...

Re: job chat, got a call back this morning from a company I interviewed with on Monday for a network administrator position, they want me to come in for a second interview with their VP of operations next week. Sounds like a pretty sweet gig, they do outsourced IT work for schools and said several times during the initial interview that a lot of my days would be working from home and they want to bring someone on board, get them up to speed and put them in charge of a team supporting a new client (sounds like a new charter school - said they have 12 locations across the state.)
