Whenever I feel this way I remember the inspiring words of Bingbong from Inside Out who said “I think it’s gunna work this time” and “Take her to the moon for me”.

don’t let Elizabeth Bik see this, I don’t want to see the truth

ugh, i hate meetings that are just full of buzzwords.

when it was the wrong server and you’re hoping it comes back up before 5 minutes and nagios starts sending alerts

The driver is in a compressed archive.

sigh…

unzips

probably got a computer engineering degree and get filtered out of jobs they’re qualified for because they don’t have an electrical engineering degree and people assume they don’t understand simple things like how semiconductors work even though it’s basically the same degree but when they finally do get past HR then the manager is like “you’re a computer guy right? can you fix this printer?” And then they’re like yeah i can fix it but not because I’m a computer guy I just worked in IT helldesks to pay for college and proceeds to turn off the copier with the big switch hidden 2 covers down and turn it back on again and it works again but then they’re suddenly the computer guy for every stupid thing around the office and they try to set boundaries and then crowdstroke happens and everyone looks at them to fix it and they know how to fix it because they saw the fix on lemmy while doom scrolling that morning before they even got to work but they say just wait for IT to fix it I’m an engineer not an IT guy and then an otter engineer says ‘‘i can fix with leenux’’ and proceeds to destroy the windows bootloader, I’m not even sure how he managed that, the fix should have been pretty simple with a live usb just mount the disk and delete the bad file, and then IT shows up and manages to fix all of the office in a few minutes except the one with the broken boot loader so that has to get reimaged and even though they didn’t do anything they’re suddenly even more the computer guy because they knew the fix was coming and i’m not bitter about it.

Ze Frank has a good video about these psycho clown bastards.

i moved from FL to MA, i have few regrets, i do miss pubsubs though. and corn nuggets.

nah, no sympathy. most people with ptsd probably didn’t fuck around like there are no consequences for your actions. this fucker deserves every bad thing that is coming to him, including finding out that he is hated and people want him dead.

Nah, if you haven’t fought windows printer drivers then you’ve just been lucky. Meanwhile you can almost always convince CUPS to spit out a print.

Nah, I don’t have to be lonely to tell if these idiots shooting at my transformers are still lonely after. Pretty confident they are still starving for attention.

Am lonely though.

The same way an EMT knows you should wear PPE when riding a motorcycle.

Anyway, the ones that do this shit tend to be hard R republicans and I know they didn’t fix their lonliness because right before they will say ‘i use arc btw’.

ooh, Electrical Engineer here, I can answer this one!

No.

I try to use dxf instead of dwg when I can, it’s got everything I need. I think the public sector should require open standards for submissions.

Because USB would be gross

They can get pretty fucking warm real fast though.

These shitty flags are probably made of synthetics like nylon and should be properly incinerated to reduce harmful gases from escaping.

Yeah, ‘‘dry heat’’ is not a thing inside the blue water swamp box. When I was in Mosul i had a similar experience, trouble was brewing, tripple digits in the afternoon. I usually try to make a TP throne because that plastic is hot af but time was short and for some reason the seat was kinda springy upwards a bit and the tp kept sliding off. At least the TCNs cleaned the things several times a day but that day I learned how sensitive some of my skin is to heat. So there I was dispensing liquids profusely and I realized I was actually in danger of heat stroke. I took my top off but it wasn’t enough. I opened the door much to the displeasure of an NCO that was walking by. She did not heed my request for a water bottle but the dry air actually felt cool immediately despite the temps and I lived another day to police up other people’s cigarette butts from the motor pool (I don’t even smoke, this is bullshit). I use arch btw.

This was me showing my daughter how to play Morrowind in TES3MP.
