I'm absolutely not thinking of allen heads. Here's my socket:

The larger ones (typically 16mm) that are used for brake calipers and trans plugs, etc aren't an issue. But these 8s that hold in half shafts and poo poo are annoying as gently caress if someone else has already screwed with them, if you don't clean them properly (and they are always nasty on the half shafts) or if you don't come at them perfectly straight (also annoying on half shafts).

I had the reverse problem trying to loosen a sway bar link on a MK5 GTI; I broke 2 size 6 triple square bits. Like, broke em, right out of the socket. Finally said "gently caress you," angle-grinded the bolt to pieces, and installed a new one on each side.

I watched a bunch of people play Cities: Skylines, but Paradox knows what's up. No DRM on their games and they have quite the following. Instead of burning a poo poo load of calories on making sure h4x0rzz, they spend it on making good games.

That said, the copy protection schemes of consoles back in the day are rad as hell and checking SRAM is like a few lines of code.

I remember playing California Games on the Tandy my dad bought. Their DRM was "What's the 34th letter on the 6th line of page 18?" edit: waitaminnit it wasn't California Games, it was LIKE California Games but the gist was that you'd start the game with like $500 and have to buy a car and modify it and drag race it against other computer-controlled racers. It was a DOS game that ran on floppies and ugh, I wish I remembered what this was.

It must be nice to have good tools like a plasma cutter and a lift, and a transmission jack when you're building a lemons car.

I giggled a little when Freiberger was upset that someone called them "too hollywood." Sure, you buy lovely cars and fix em up, but when you have the Hot Rod magazine workshop at your disposal it's hard to feel sorry when things break. My favorite episode is still the one where they went to CTC Auto Ranch and had to get a car to a drag strip in like two days.

The new Roadkill is absolutely incredible. If they keep putting out episodes like that it'll be worth the 7 bucks a month for Motor Trend On Demand.

You might be able to snag LG g2 or g3 in that price point. I think they're both relatively close to stock Android. If you're comfortable doing it, I think htc m8s are cheap and you can convert it to stock Android. Not exactly for the faint of heart though.

The G3 is way closer to stock than the G2, but if your carrier deployed the Lollipop update they're both pretty similar. The G3 handles the Lollipop version much better, imho.

So I mentioned last week that I got a surprise $1000 bonus. Tonight is when the direct deposit goes into my account for the paycheck it shows up on.

The net increase on my check after taxes. .. $617.

I am happy about the bonus of course, but drat, giving almost 40% of it to the government sucks rear end.

Every time I see how much of a bonus I receive vs how much was given, I remember the year when the company's Christmas bonus to me was a $30 Target gift card that the boss got from his wife. Nobody else got one. The previous year, everyone had received $500 or more. Lots of resume polishing ensued and 66% of the staff had moved on before June of the following year.

I switched to a UniFi AP, connected to whatever flavor of gigabit router with DD-WRT installed with the stock WiFi radio disabled. Haven't had any issues, and disabling the onboard WiFi on the router greatly reduces heat and increases stability. The UniFi AP is rock-loving-solid and has an excellent range, too.

UniFi APs made me do a 180 on my opinion of wifi. As a sysadmin, I generally hate wifi because it creates more tickets than it prevents, but these things are so damned good I bought one of the B/G ~$60 ones for home. The plan is to get another for the basement as the signal is juuuuuuust weak enough to cause buffering pauses when watching 1080p streams from the media server upstairs (720p is smooth, though).

Think about that.

The NRA's solution was to arm teachers. I know a great many teachers whose students are on free or reduced lunch, whose parents don't really gaf about their education, and fights break out so often that there are 3 specialty teachers on hand to deal with problem students. Every one of those teachers gave an instant, knee-jerk "gently caress no" response to "do you think arming teachers is a good idea."

And nothing happened precisely BECAUSE of single issue voters.
I already said I dislike a lot of the rest of the GOP policy. But the left wants desperately to disarm the citizens. "It won't happen here" is the most naive thing a person can say. The first goal of EVERY dictator is to remove guns from the hands of their prey, and you don't get them back.

If the cost of avoiding the next Stalin, Mao, Hitler, or Pol Pot level purge is 2 dozen kindergartners a year than its well worth it, despite how cold-hearted that sounds.

That is very cold-hearted and sociopathic, but that's beside the point. The price is much higher than 2 dozen innocent children per year. Mass shootings are a small, attention-grabbing piece of the gun-deaths-in-America pie. A man who would later be diagnosed with an unstable mental condition legally purchased a shotgun that he used two weeks later to murder his 3 children in their beds along with his wife before shooting himself. This happened just last month in my home state in an affluent part of town. Whole shooting happened in a mansion on a lake. Could have he done the same thing with a knife? Maybe, but he had those, so why didn't he just use them instead of going out a purchasing a shotgun? Guns make it piss-easy to take a life, you don't even need to be looking at whomever you're killing. That is the problem, and there is no solution.

Yes, this is blaming a machine for humanity's problems, but if we can't use something responsibly, then get rid of it until we can.

It's not hard to use Powershell frankly. The issue is the truly hosed up operation modifiers. Doing a basic Get-Mailbox option | next option in itself for example isnt that bad either. It how loving outright insane it gets from there- as if they thought hey yeah, bash shell allows for a fuckton of switches so lets add more and badly document them! Yeah admins will LOVE that poo poo, see how much they love that in Linux!

No. Just.... no.

Especially on something as deeply complex as Exchange, having a good GUI is a very good thing. See, I cant even GET the web interface to work right now as the install was aware there was a trusted domain and another Exchange enviroment, thence it's expecting me to do a migration of the site - is now wanting the Organization Administrator to be migrated before ECP will work... as ECP also is throwing me back to OWA and that's failing because there's no mailbox to allow OWA to work with. Who was the contemptible idiot that allowed that scenario to happen?

Oh and I do notice that the usual google it to find exotic issue fixes just is not as prevalent as with older Exchange versions as it looks like no one wants to touch that crap.

Oh and when I do isolate the new install well enough so it does a New Org properly? Well gently caress me, now the installer says it cant find a domain controller despite it being quite well working and functional with NO firewalls on. Oh and of course DNS checks are clear and dcdiag is quite fine. Figuring THAT issue out right now. Lord Almighty.

I am going to choke the poo poo out of whatever idiot was the manager of this clusterfuck of a Exchange verison.

:iit:

ECP should be available without any mailboxes; I'd start there. Honestly these are the reasons why I don't recommend migrating from Exchange 2010 unless you're throwing poo poo up on O365, but that's just me :angel:
