  • We had a huuuuuge rooster when we first started keeping chickens that fought off large dogs on multiple occasions. Unfortunately he fought off the wife and the kids a few times as well, so he had to go.

    He got after my 4 year old son once and pecked a hole in his shoulder before I got to him, but when I kicked him it was like kicking a bag of concrete. It hurt my foot enough I was sure I had killed him but he got up and walked off like nothing happened.

  • The moment I saw that Slaxx was made by the same folks behind Turbo Kid, I knew I had to see it.
  • I watched Turbo Kid based off of this. It sucks. There's no real acting, no one is afraid of raiders on bikes, etc. No one in this movie provides a believable threat; even the main villian (not Michael Ironside, it's Skeletron or whatever) looks like a wish.com version of Walton Goggins in a shitty mask. There is no comparison between this and Mad Max.

  • Tulsi Gabbard fires more than 100 intelligence officers over messages in a chat tool
  • If the NSA really does have such formal and strict rules

    Are you serious? Such formal and strict rules that you can't talk about your genitals in a work-provided medium without fear of retribution? You're gonna be shocked when it's revealed they had to wear business casual and had to comb their hair as well.

    I work in a very left leaning org and if I mentioned something as mundane as having pubic hair in our chat I'd be fired immediately.

    What about a chat where a group of men discuss the pros/cons of a vasectomy?

    Lol, yeah that would absolutely not be something I talked about with coworkers at work. Ever.

    It’s obvious that at the NSA, this kind of discussion was just acceptable.

    Why is it obvious? Why would the NSA of all places have literally the most liberal code of conduct of any office in the history of civilization? There is no office environment on the planet where talking about your genitals, your "penetration enthusiasm" or the intensity of ass-hair laser sessions will be acceptable.

    Am...am I taking the bait or something? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, and that maybe I'm just feeding a troll?

  • Tulsi Gabbard fires more than 100 intelligence officers over messages in a chat tool
  • Lol, right; the NSA set up a chat for people to talk about sex. That's what they meant - not "Let's have a chat for people to ask about how to address their trans coworkers, other questions of etiquette, and generally make a spot that is welcoming and supportive". They, the NSA, wanted their workers to have a safe space to talk about sex.

    I don't talk about fucking my partner with my colleagues over work-provided (let alone government-provided) chat channels; it's not a question of the number of partners or what gender those partners might be, but the fact that if you talk about having sex at work you're probably going to have repercussions.

    Just to address a few pieces of your response:

    1. "Again, are they firing everyone who ever texted about a weekend hookup?"

    I don't know, are they not? The article you linked doesn't include a lot of quotes. Is there a difference in the language used between the two?

    1. "Please. People talk about their sex lives all the time, even at work."

    Sure they do, but they don't type it into chat on a server they don't control. That would possibly be the dumbest thing I can imagine someone doing. Fantastic amounts of dumb.

    1. "..you are completely willing to accept their framing that certain sexualities are inherently deviant and shameful."

    Not anymore than my own - I'm not trying to preach about anybody's morality, I'm probably more "deviant" than most in those chats, but I sure as fuck don't talk about it at work; if I did I wouldn't be putting it in the record.

    1. "On cis het guy brags to another about the time they hooked up with two chicks in one weekend? That’s just a player. A queer person has multiple partners and chooses a poor word to describe it? Suddenly it’s worth firing every trans person in the agency."

    Who said they were queer? Straight people can have gangbangs. Maybe an ally who had a fantastic weekend brought everyone down. Still a stupid thing to type in.

    If you don't think there are limits to what can be talked about in the workplace, regardless of the medium, well I don't know what to tell you. I don't know anyone in meatspace that would be surprised when someone who talked about sex in a public sector job got fired. In the end the current admin were going to do it anyways, but they got a solid reason gift-wrapped because folks were being dumb about a work chat.

  • I hate the current administration as much as the next guy, but I would absolutely expect my workplace to fire me if I was using a work chat to talk about weekend gangbangs.

  • Unified Fibre Channel fabric
  • I'd like to see separate fabrics for prod/dev. We have a few switches that are platform specific though that would be really nice to have integrated into the general prod environment. As those platforms are absorbed into our main platform that environment needs to be repurposed anyways and it would be nice to just do it logically without having to recable everything when something needs to be changed.

  • Unified Fibre Channel fabric

    What are industry best practices for this stuff? Do you want a separate fabric for dev and prod? Just separate zones?

    My company doesn't connect any fabrics (1 switch=1fabric) and it seems inefficient and a giant pain in the ass, as we move hosts around like we're getting paid for it. What do all of you do?

    Looking for some guidance

    I have a friend in Indiana that's currently going blind (he's legally blind and has a degenerative condition, I honestly don't know the exact specifics of his diagnosis). He's currently worried about losing his job, financial security, etc. I get the feeling that he's really not planning ahead - everything I hear from him is regarding the impending loss of his house, who will care for his dogs, and how there's no help in his area. I've looked up resources in Indiana and found a lot and sent them to him, but part of my (admittedly uninformed) advice has been to move to an area that's more walkable (he still has his drivers license but shouldn't be driving as he has almost no peripheral vision) and an area with a lower LOC (he says rent is around 2-3k for an apartment, in my area it's closer to 1k for a small house), things like that. His job is remote, but he's worried about losing it as his sight degrades, since he has to see the screen at the moment, but I'm advising to look into screen reader assistive tech for that (which the company should provide).

    I guess my question is: how realistic is my advice versus his concerns? I feel like he should be looking for a new location RIGHT NOW while he isn't forced to make a decision, I feel like there are more resources than he realizes, and I feel like his area is pretty expensive compared to some of the lower COL locations in the country. If anyone has any experiences in this sort of situation I'd appreciate your take on what he should be planning for, or really any sort of advice to give him.

    Autoplay playlists?

    Super stoked about using Piped. I've created an account on piped.video, found a playlist, all that; I can't figure out how to play all the items in the playlist though - I seem to only be able to play them individually. How do I play everything in a playlist without having to select them individually each time? I'm using the browser interface at the moment.

    YSK: Sometimes fostering just doesn't work out.

    I've been fostering a family member for a month or so, and it all came to a head today. My wife and I tried, but the behavior was just too much for us to feel safe with our existing children. I hate that we're giving up and I hate the circumstances that caused this, but it is what it is. If you're in the same place please don't beat yourself up; sometimes you can want something really bad and it still not be right for you.

    I've got 4 10-ish lb pork butts in the smoker for a party on the 4th and I'm about to fire up the grill for some ribeyes; we have two briskets in the fridge I'm gonna start on Tuesday morning, so I'm getting my mileage outta Weber this week!
