I think it’s Tippy as in gratuity, and hedren as in head wren, a small bird who is the head, or leader.

That makes Tippi Hedren, an actress. She was in a movie called the birds.

Consider the dead horse beaten lol.

Mom’s spaghetti

Worked at a place where our CIO was completely unqualified to be a leader, much less a leader in IT. She was a micromanager who took the position of “telling stakeholders” instead of “working with stakeholders” so any project she was on was really her pushing through whatever agenda she had at the time. Meanwhile her deputy CIO was stealing computer equipment from the server room but I digress…

April fools one year and I decide to prank it up. I moved the hinges (not the door handles) of the freezer/fridge in the breakroom so that the handle and hinges were on the same side. It’s a fifteen minute job to move everything so I did it the night before the 1st.

The next morning our hungover CIO stumbles into the breakroom and cannot get the fridge to open. After a few seconds of futile tugging on the handle, she gave up and took her lunch to her office.

Others in the office figured it out pretty quickly and had a good chuckle.

Later on that day CIO sends out a nastygram about pranks being unprofessional, property damage, someone was going to be in huge trouble, yadda yadda…

But she’s not the director. The director tells her to basically fuck off, it was a funny prank, and perhaps she needed to lighten up.

She never found out it was me.

Here’s a method that’s always worked for me and others.

Get a glass of water, cool is preferred but any reasonable temperature is ok.

Take small, tiny, repeated sips from the rim of the glass, like an infant on a nipple, drinking and swallowing the water.

Do this for ten-twenty seconds and you’ll be rid of them.

Same issues here. I love GOS but I need basic things like SMS/MMS/RCS to work, and right now they just don’t.

Still true though. I’m distro-agnostic, running the best whatever for the job at hand.

When I give a presentation at a conference about something technical, the question always comes up: “Why are you running that on so-and-so? $Distro is so much better…” and their whole train of thought deviates from the subject at hand.

Point is, the tool is the tool. If Fedora is the best option given our licenses and use scenario, I don’t need to hear about how much better xyz is and how we’re wasting money.

I just want xyz to work. I don’t need the distro wars to be a thing when I’ve got 6 other more important things to attend to.

Backblaze is a great backup solution. They publish drive stats and even show you the hardware they use.

Did your computer lose its bios settings lately? Check to see if it’s set to ahci and not raid if using a single, non-raid disk.

Good luck

The simulation keeps on churning…

Gonna do some research/reading about this and I’m being objective.

Thanks for sharing and replying so quickly.

Would you mind posting a link where I can read more about this?

boom

Oblig. XKCD:

Try using 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 as the external DNS in your router for testing. Does it work then?

Also, you may have DNS cached somewhere. You can flush your Windows DNS cache by typing ipconfig /flushdns in a command prompt.

Fuckin autocorrect was the death of us all.

Lotito holds the record for the ‘strangest diet’ in the Guinness Book of Records. He was awarded a brass plaque by the publishers to commemorate his abilities. He ate his award.

I would expect nothing less.

I wonder if you can get the frunk to critical velocity at the touch of a fly by constantly pumping it up like a pump action gun.

Ask them if they want to get battletoads instead

I taught my pet rock to “stay” in 1988.

It hasn’t moved since.
