“Beans”

There were several ridiculous things she got away with and these weren’t even what was cited as the reason they fired her.

-Stole the company Thanksgiving turkey

-She would take every single snack in the office and shove them all inside her desk.

-At one point she was trying to build a gaming PC at home and took the RAM out of her work desktop. She then came running to IT because her computer wouldn’t work.

-Fried the wiring in a whole section of cubicles by running multiple plug-in heaters at once.

Yep. Everyone has learning moments where they’re an asshole at some point though. At the time I was concerned about keeping my job. I think the part that matters is if you reflect and learn from the situation.

I once had HR and my boss tell me to disable a user’s account at 8am because they were going to fire this woman. 8:30 rolls around and she shows up, super upset she can’t sign into anything. I tell her I’ll see what I can find, thinking that will delay the inevitable.

Nope. Her team lead took another two hours before he could be bothered to get to her. When I asked everyone what I should say to the increasingly stressed woman, I was told I should lie and say that there’s a domain controller issue.

They finally got around to firing her and she gave me the worst look on her way out the door. She definitely had it coming for some of the stuff she did, like stealing an entire Thanksgiving turkey meant to share with the whole company. But that is probably the worst moment I’ve had in my IT career so far.

Now if someone tells me to pull a stunt like that I just say no. They need to figure out their plan instead of forcing IT to lie.

Three 21 inch 1080p monitors. Two horizontal and one to the right that’s vertical. All on arms to keep it clean.

You know how people don’t like paying for streaming services because they have enshittified and grown more expensive?

Yeah, you’re just doing that for your own self hosted service.

More like short them. This is going to be devastating for their business. I could see them losing tons of customers.

My parents bought me My Neighbor Totoro when I was a kid. I absolutely loved every second of it. Then I came across Ranma 1/2. Next came Kiki’s Delivery Service. It kind of snowballed after that.

Pets are not investments. They are friends and family. Sometimes you’ll do anything possible to save them, even if it’s spending a ton of money.

Everyone else has described the complications that a Mac mini would have. So why not consider something else? Lenovo, HP, and Dell make 1l ultra small form factor PCs and they’re pretty cheap on eBay. They’re also low power. Search for Tiny Mini Micro to find information.

I have three Lenovo Thinkcentre machines - two with 32gb RAM and one with 64gb RAM - running my Proxmox VE cluster. Highly recommend using those small machines instead of a Mac mini.

I enjoyed playing through the remaster on PC. But after 100%ing the game, any time I’ve felt like playing it I just end up running the international version in an emulator.

Hike the entirety of the AT and the PCT.

Go bikepacking more frequently. Or go on a months long trip.

Make art - photography, digital art, linocut.

Help friends and family with projects.

That’s the short version. There are so many possibilities once you remove the need to be tied to a job/computer for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I would love to have the freedom to simply not work. I don’t want to be rich, I just want to be able to exist without having to work.

Don’t use YouTube to MP3, use one of the Deemix variants that downloads music straight from Deezer’s servers.

^ This. We try to enforce Microsoft Authenticator company wide and we will never be able to completely ditch call/text as an option. We have a ton of users that don’t have smart phones. We have a policy to only allow call/text if a user specifically requests it.

That would stand out a lot. Probably better to just bring a couple hundred dollars and buy bitcoin when it was worth practically nothing.

As for why they’re getting downvoted, criticizing cars or the use of cars tends to get a lot of negative feedback.
