I at least have my reasons... kids being the biggest. Without staying up late I would have zero time to do what I want. Second one is I really don't want to go to work sometimes.

The bigger shocker to me is that the platform still exists at all... didn't the largest advertisers pull out? I thought it was hemeraging money. I keep waiting for them to pull the plug on it, or at least sell it at a huge discounted price.

I wouldn't last more than 45 min with a setup like that. I'm falling asleep immediately.

I am over 40, and I still do stuff like that. I always wondered where the line of crossing over from child to adult would be, but I haven't found it still.

I know it doesn't matter, it's the name that sells here, but is the album even good? I haven't given it a shot, but from everyone I talked to, it's mediocre at best with some songs being terrible.

And you probably paid less to not have that happen as well!

As someone named Joe, you have no idea how many nicknames I have had throughout my life... my friends pride themselves with giving me a new one every few months.

Thanks for the perspective, I wasn't too far off since I would have tipped $3. I'll take 10% as the baseline going forward.

Servers would probably be way easier than workstations if you ask me. If they were virtual, just bring up the remote console and you can do it all remotely. Even if they were physical I would hope they have an IP KVM attached to each server so they can also remotely access them as well. 450 sucks but at least they theoretically could have done every one of them without going anywhere.

There are also options to do workstations as well, but almost nobody ever uses those services so those probably need to be touched one by one.

Boiling a whole chicken is pretty good as long as you season the hell out of it as well as the water. It then creates the stock for other recipes such as the things I'm making out of that boiled chicken, like chicken pot pie, chicken soup, and chicken tacos to name a few.

I wish it was some. From what I see, it's basically all of them these days. Basically, they already made this the standard, and most people have no clue anymore since they grew up never knowing. I also follow the no alcohol tip either. I tip on the food price and then add in a few more dollars based on how many drinks I got. Drink prices are so high that it would be crazy to add on something like 3 $15 dollar glasses of wine at full tip price. So, instead of like $9, I'll add $3. If it's a mixed drink, I'll add $2 per drink since it at least did require some work. Generally, I never drink out anymore anyway since it's just too expensive to care about it.

If the main room is taken, I find my people in the kitchen or outside. They are normally known as the stoners.

I am thrilled right now that our company only started relying on cloud resources a few years ago and still don't use services like this... I hope this is a wake-up call to them, so we never use something like this. I know the execs finally realized the cloud is not cost effective, and I hope we keep it a mixed bag instead of going in fully. I have been in IT for 18 years now, and thankfully, I have never had to deal with a disaster like this. Another close call was outsourcing our IT service desk to a company, and they wanted us to put agents on our pc's so they could do their job easier. Luckily, our network team said absolutely not. Sure enough, that same year at Christmas time, they got hit with a crypto attack, and instead of having to deal with the agents, we just shut down the tunnel, and we're fine. A lot of their clients were not so lucky. Screw the cloud and 3rd party services... it doesn't save what you think, and you get poor services in return a lot of the time.
