2·25 days agoWhelp we got a whole box of them, so maybe in a day or two we will try again.
Really weird that this question would come up right now because up until yesterday, I would say no. I was at the store with my daughter and there was a person giving away free samples of these frozen dumplings (they were cooked, not cold). My daughter chowed one down and asked for another. Now my daughter is a super picky eater, so I was like “hell yeah, I’m gonna buy a box of these”.
Well we went home to have dumplings for dinner and she didn’t want to eat them.
So now I have dumplings.
5·27 days agoLots off stuff like that out there. Like food products that say “Made with 100% white meat chicken”. That just means that 100% white meat chicken is one of the ingredients.
Or those stupid “99c and up” stores. That’s no dollar store. That’s just a store. 99c and up is so many things.

Good lord. I worked in hospital IT for about 6 years and I absolutely hated WOWs. By far my least favorite thing to work on. I spent too many hours sitting on the floor swapping batteries out of those things.
Funny story it reminded me of though is that the Hospital I worked at was in a city starting with the letter S. So the acronym for the hospital was SH. So all of IT was referred to as IS (Information services) because we didn’t want to be the SHIT department.
Damn… Now I want new gear.
Also “I ride almost exclusively in the midwest US, so hard, rough, icy conditions that most people wouldn’t consider snowboarding in are the every day” - I’m in the northeast, so I am very familiar with ice boarding, so I’m sold.
Damn… I still snowboard in my gear that is over 20 years old. Has it really changed that much? I only go a few times a year so I never wanted to spend the money on new stuff. Lift tickets already cost an arm and a leg.
Republicons are upset that people are calling them weird, and then continue to do the weirdest fucking shit.
No no no. White cows make milk. Brown cows make chocolate milk.

Confusion like this got me my current job. They were looking for somebody with experience in “Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager”, and I look that up and I’m like “Oh, that’s SCCM, I do that”. Go through the interview process they keep asking me if I know Endpoint Configuration Manager and I’m like “yeah, for sure”. I get the job. Day one, the other systems engineer is like “here is the link to our Endpoint Manager Tenant”, and I’m like “oh… Shit I have never ever used this”
Well… Ends up Endpoint Configuration Manager and Endpoint Manager are two different things. Fortunately for me they are pretty similar in function and rely on knowledge of Windows and Powershell, which I know.
So my first 2 weeks of work was taking a shitload of courses in Endpoint Manager and watching a lot of videos and learning it inside and out.
2 years later and I’m an Endpoint Manager/Intune pro.
I’m on Lemmy.world because it’s the only instance I could make a account on the day Reddit shut down the API. All of the other popular instances had account creation stopped because of the flood of people.
I could probably make an account on another instance, but I’m pretty lazy. I honestly don’t know what the benefit of using another instance would be.
Oh man, that just reminded me that PB Crisps existed. Fuckin loved those things.
For android it’s power+volume up to bring up the power options menu (shutdown, restart, etc) and there is a “lock down” option that disables biometric unlock.
Wish I could do it with one hand, but good to know it’s there.

Oh man, that reminds me of the time that I was trying to record a demo for my friends band. They had a PA system, and apparently the 1/4 cable that went from the main speaker to the other carried power. I didn’t know this. I plugged it into the sound card on my PC. I’m super lucky that all it did was fry my sound card. It died so fast.
As a fellow tall, I don’t even buy things unless they are “T” sized anymore. Gave up on it a long time ago. My shirt size is “XLT”. There are sometimes things like work events or other places where they are giving away T shirts and they ask for my size and I tell them XLT and they are like “How about XXL?” and I’m like “No”. I don’t need to add another ill-fitting t shirt to the pile of shirts I will never wear.
Kohl’s has a big and tall section that is pretty reliable. The past few years I have been stocking up on Tommy Bahama clothing. I have a relative who works pretty high up the chain for their corporate office so I am able to get a discount which brings the price of their clothing down from “outrageously expensive” to “still pretty expensive”. It’s damn good quality clothing though. I have the Big & Tall Bali Skyline T-shirt in every color. It’s probably the most comfortable thing I have ever worn.
