The combined number of years of my marriage and the ages of all of my children is a number that when subtracted from 2024 would not equal the first time I heard this.

Wow stays in the same room as you? All I get is the back of her head as she walks away.

Bastard operator from hell. A weekly funny about a sys admin who causes chaos.

I managed a homework help chatroom for EEs. One of them got a PI and was so happy. Another person suggested that they run that command. Later on the other person claimed they didn’t expect it to work.

It took me and another mod way too long to help the other guy fix his PI. Wasn’t really happy about it. The new rule I came up with was if you must must make a joke do something harmless like “touch /this” and reference MC Hammer.

They did but it might have been a good idea to prove that the command works instead of actually doing it.

Comparing RS232 to cancer is a good analogy.

I hate it but as you said it has its niche and there really aren’t better options for what it does. If someone else has a means to wire up +100 sensors to one system that doesn’t involve enough wiring to encircle an entire city or an unbelievable reliable means to do M2M between two machines that’s secure simply because everyone who knows how to tap it has a high paying job I am all ears.

My kids are convinced that we didn’t have cars when I was a kid. I was explaining to them what the before GPS times were like.

Still sround

Would it make you feel better that literally today I had to troubleshoot a RS-232 at work?

Basically they wanted to make it world of Warcraft

No but this is the way the world is going to work. The company is awesome and then it gets shitty. Just got to keep on moving forward. Hopping from success to success.

As D&D stands right now I am fine with their model. It just isn’t that important to me that when I am crafting a one shot to sell that I have to slap a picture on the second page saying that I agree Wizards of the Coast owns D&D.

If they go back to that nightmare a year ago I will probably get into Pathfinder

Correct and you can build an impressive collection.

It wouldn’t bother me renting campaigns if it was much cheaper than the print version. It isnt like I am going to play it again or even DM an entire old campaign.

But you know it will be the same price cause fuck us

Ok you made me spit out my drink. Good job.

Ok now type “touch /this”

And then hum the famous M C Hammer song.

If you combined the ages of my children it still wouldn’t be enough time to the first time I heard this.

15 years ago this was an issue on my laptop.
