I’m taking an Uber to the airport at zero dark stupid and this guy is absolutely jamming to some Christian music. Honestly, his energy is kind of addictive. Part of me is thinking I should say something while the other part is too tired to care. Besides, this guy is polite and seems like he’s enjoying himself.

So what’s your call, Reddit? Rain on this guy’s parade or not?

(I didn’t, because he was a nice guy and got me to PHL on time)

This is moderately embarrassing. I’m at the beach, and the last time I was in water of any kind I was 300+ and generally floated like a happy little whale. Now I’m sub 200 and A LOT more muscle than fat.

Turns out, fit people don’t float. Intellectually, I know this. It’s a pretty well proven fact. In practice….. I’m an idiot that found themselves neck deep in water, not floating, and freaking the fuck out because the way I have known how to swim for the last 46 years doesn’t work anymore.

I have now written off going to the beach for the rest of my life…. Or at the very least until shift change for the lifeguards.

So….. Would we call this a NSV? Cautionary tale? Point and laugh

I'll preface this with the fact that I try to avoid spoilers and story breaking posts as often as possible. When I stumble on funny things or FAFO moments, it's that much better.

Lesson learned: >!Don't piss Vlaakith off. She'll wipe you, and if you are an absolute idiot (like me), you'll find that out on an Honor run.!<

Pour one out for me, friends. I'm an idiot.

So I'm bored watching Netflix like I do and I see that Becky is on my watch list and I haven't watched it. So I start watching... One of the first scenes in the van with Jeff (his name will always be Jeff Winger to me) and I see Becky and two mastiffs in the back seat. She's totally Lucia Marr.

The Wrath of Becky was a lot of fun. Hoping the first one is too.

I know there's a lot of guys lurking in this sub. Have any of you all had experiences with skin removal? Specifically Gynecomastia? I'm honestly tired of having to wear compression shirts when I run or work out to prevent chafing. It's that, or endure my wife snickering while saying something about Drax and sensitive nipples... My PCP has a referral process, but I have not started down that path yet. I'm very curious about what the process looks like and before/after experiences.

Sigh....... Apparently someone translated my "Hey, I'm expecting some sensitive equipment to be delivered on XX/XX/XXXX. Please make sure they get stored someplace dry" email as "Just drop that shit over with the pipe deliveries."

So I'm 99.999% certain that I have exactly zero interest in plugging these things in to see if they work whether they are dry or not. Knowing my luck, they will absolutely explode and burn my entire plant to the ground. Having said that, has anyone ever dealt with that kind of situation? Is there any way to process an RMA on units that may or may not have water damage? I'm assuming I'm out $10k in UPS units.

I was just cruising Reddit like I do and happened across an ad. I'll spare you the advertiser and the content, but the short of it is that "You can lose 40 pounds in a month!!!!!". It's fucking infuriating. First, because that shit is unhealthy. Anyone that loses that much weight in a month has either had a MAJOR change to their body or they are very unhealthy.

That's all... I just wanted to rant after downvoting the ad.

Has anyone tested and found themselves right on the line of having low T? I'm coming up on a year post op and recent blood work puts me at around 350.

Has anyone had luck with T supplements? Is suggesting supplements allowed?

I'm looking for a standing desk converter for a setup where the monitor is sitting in an alcove. I have probably 8-10" of vertical space above the monitor. Looking for something that angles towards you rather than up.

I don't think that's a thing. Anyone seen something like that?

I have a network cabinet in the middle of a water treatment facility's filter house. It has one C9300x48 connected by multimode back to another IDF and is probably about 60% full with business, security, and wlan drops. The building is about 500ft long with an IDF on one end and the problem IDF in the middle of the building. The problem is the environment. It's apparently so corrosive that we have gone through 2 switches in the last year and I'm tired of explaining why I need to pay my low voltage contractor AGAIN to come out and hang a switch and take another swing at hardening the enclosure against the environment. It's a pain in the ass and my budget people are sharpening their pitch

My timing sucks... I had the bright idea that I would start a Cyber Security masters program this fall, but I didn't factor in the avalanche of cool games that are coming out at the same time. Starfield, Phantom Liberty, BG3...

I'm not going to have much time at all to play games for the next 6 months. FML. Well, on the bright side I can avoid any launch day bugginess.
