Every time I think I understand SCSI termination I run into a setup that theoretically shouldn't work!

[Vertical Stand for Nintendo Switch 2] A simple & low-profile vetical (tate) stand for the Switch 2. That's it. Add magnets to make it stick to the console. But don't use it as a handle. It WILL drop🤡 Printables Page: printables.com/model/1327495

I don't work there anymore, so fuck teams!

I just threw my back out lifting my Sparcstation 5! That fucking thing is like lifting a box of lead, lol.

I caved and bought a Switch 2. My 10 year old wants to play Mario Kart and the one we already have, apparently, isn't good enough, lol.

I think I finally got a lead on a RS/6000 43p Model 150 case WITH its key!! The top of the case is secured to the machine by the case's lock, so without the key (or a decent set of lockpicks) you cannot secure the top of the case to the machine. Its an annoyance of mine, lol.

I would probably own more Pre-G3 PowerMac-era Macs, except the plastic cases are so fucking brittle and I just don't want to deal with it.

Currently working on a partner integration at work and I just sat in a meeting where I was the only person without "president" in their title, lol.

Everyone focuses on how good the portal part of the portal scene in Endgame is, but the scene just before it where Captain America stands up to face Thanos's army alone is an amazing scene.

Randomly ran into an old high school friend. Said hi and stuff and my 15 year old blurts out, "What was my dad really like in high school?" My friend pauses and says, "Imagine someone making the worst possible decision every time they encountered any choice in their life." ...He is not wrong.

Wife told me to buy a new box fan for our bedroom. Think I can get away with this one? www.amazon.com/Industrial-V...

Don't make me tap the sign!

Fucking had to tear apart the Bambu for the first time. Had an extruder jam and you basically have take apart the entire toolhead to get to the inside of the extruder

I love it when filament comes pre-tangled. The Bambu filament doesn't come on a spool and the bands they use to secure the filament are often WAY WAY WAY too lose and the filament just becomes a mess.

Highlight of the day: We found and marked our mystery queen bee. We had a hive choose to replace its queen and while we have seen evidence there was a new fertilized queen laying we hadn't physically seen her until today. Now she has big blue dot on her so she is easier to find, lol.

In high school my small town high school history teacher didn't like my paper comparing the fall of the roman empire to the current state of the US. I still don't think I was wrong, I just feel like I was 30 years too soon. 😂

My SGI Indy all setup. Ignore the Sun monitor! I only have 2 SoG monitors and the color of the Sun monitor closely matches the "granite" motif of the SGI peripherals.

We "foster failed" one of the foster kittens, lol. Her foster name is Rayu. We don't know if we are going to change it yet.

What does one do when grieving the loss of a beloved pet? Buys another SGI machine, lol. Its just a low end O2, but it can use the 1600SW monitor that game with my Visual Workstation 320.

Every new phone i get i have to call Verizon to activate it. every single fucking one. I spend 40 minutes with tech support for them to tell I need transferred to Tier 2 where I spend another 40 minutes waiting for their potato-powered computers to find all the prime numbers in existence!!

My HPC team at UC Davis is hiring! Looking for an experienced sysadmin to help build and maintain clusters (hardware and software). HPC experience great, but if you’re an experienced sysadmin and willing to learn, please apply! careerspub.universityofcalifornia.edu/psc/ucdavis/...

Who has two thumbs and is dealing with the fact that an ad campaign just spent 8 days of budget in 1 hour at midnight on a Wednesday?

I love my new job, I really do, but they pull some rookie bullshit when it comes to rolling out new features. There was a feature that has ZERO testing done on it and now its my problem to hump it into submission before the feature goes live tonight.

I stand by the fact that Mister Rogers was our universe's anchor being. It been all downhill since he died.

Wife: "Wear your damn boots to go check on the bees!" Me: "I already have the shoes on, I will be fine" Narrator: He was not fine. I got stung twice in the ankle!
