PCI audit, so going through documents over the past year to present as evidence.

Yeah, and the scale of the picture itself is hard to determine. You don’t know how big the thing you’re looking at is, so you don’t know if you’re supposed to see just a paw, the entire creature, etc.
- Comment on Why would a company force you to use a rental car instead of your own for a drive to the office/Christmas party? 2 days ago:
This is the correct answer. I once found training that was a 3 hour drive away. The company was still penny pinching so I offered to drive myself so only the hotel needs to be covered. They denied my request because of the liability problem. They HAD to be the one to shoulder travel.

I like 4k, I personally think it is better than 1080p without the data to back it up. Having said that, I’m all for 8k TVs to be produced if it causes 4k TVs to become cheaper, so I can buy a bigger 4k TV at a lower price.

Yes, but you can have redundancy though. Obviously it comes with a cost, and I don’t know if Signal can afford it.

The dedication to bring an entire wheelbarrow to the office is commendable though.
- Comment on Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck? 4 days ago:
I use Mullvad servers in South America and Southeast Asia for youtube and it works. No issues with Netflix with the servers in Europe and Asia that I use.
One of my reddit accounts was locked/suspended when I logged in though, and I can’t unlock it because it doesn’t have an email attached to it for account recovery. But just browsing isn’t an issue with old.reddit.
- Comment on anime titles be like 5 days ago:
I’ve wondered about this for a while and assumed it was AI slop by production companies spitting out whatever content en masse.
Then I came across a youtube video where they explain the reason is those shows are adapted from written stories on some site in Japan. Think Wattpad or AO3 (but not fanfic). And since there are so many stories posted there, writers title them that way so readers immediately get a sense of what the story is about and hopefully choose it to read. So the anime adaptation ends up taking on the long-ass title.

Just finished the Spurs/Pels game and checked out the Wiz/Mavs game with 2 mins remaining. Wow, didn’t expect Mavs to be on the losing end.

Refreshing to listen to the Pels announcers after having to listen to the Warriors homer announcers last night.

Zion gets blocked by Wemby on every post-up attempt. On the other hand, Wemby just bounces off him when he’s going downhill on drives.

Career night for Gordon! I hope it doesn’t get spoiled by them ending up losing.

Lmfao 2OT for IND/OKC. I want to fully switch over to the Warriors/Nuggets game man, c’mon.
- Comment on 23 October 2025 Game/Postgame thread 6 days ago:
33 secs left in OT. Pacers snatching defeat from the jaws of victory several times. If they just made their free throws and commit blunders, they won’t be playing to survive right now.
- Comment on 23 October 2025 Game/Postgame thread 6 days ago:
Damn, Gordon really worked on his 3pt shot over the summer. Dude is lights out in the first quarter. Cam better catch up because that’s literally what the trade for him was for.
- Comment on I'm just not looking forward to this NBA season 1 week ago:
You need to watch the Spurs, and not just for Wemby. Castle is gonna be amazing, and their roster this season is pretty good.
I’m also interested in seeing if the Nuggets can make it all the way with arguably an even better roster than their championship squad.
- Comment on 22 Oct 2025 Game Thread/Post Game Thread 1 week ago:
Spurs are so exciting! Castle has made great strides in taking point guard duties and being aggressive attacking the rim. He’s also hounding Flagg on defense. Wemby is unbelievable. Imagine getting fouled and still making a reverse dunk lmao, what do you even do. Harper has the jitters but after scoring his first layup, it looks like he’s more relaxed now. The young core is building chemistry so fast that I wonder if Fox will throw a wrench into it when he gets back.
Meanwhile, Flagg playing point guard isn’t working out so well. Probably has the jitters too but he’s had great composure so far.

- Comment on Season Opener Discussion Thread (HOU vs OKC, GSW vs LAL) 1 week ago:
I can’t believe I’m saying this but Hayes has been more serviceable than Ayton. Less talented but he’s a better lob threat. Maybe Ayton needs more time to gel with Luka, but it’s Ayton we’re talking about.

The back and forth flopping before the end of the half was so bad.
- Comment on Season Opener Discussion Thread (HOU vs OKC, GSW vs LAL) 1 week ago:
Lmao I thought MJ was gonna be an analyst at halftime talking about the game. It’s a pre-recorded interview they probably shot in one day and will spread out into chunks thoughout the season.
- Comment on Season Opener Discussion Thread (HOU vs OKC, GSW vs LAL) 1 week ago:
Rockets are hard to watch with no point guard running their offense. Whatever play they call up goes out the window as soon as the defense closes in. The super tall starting lineup is cool to see though.

Same with putting air in the tires, especially with the change of seasons.
- Comment on Briefly relevant internet content 1 week ago:
Or at least build redundancy in other regions so you can switch over with minimal downtime if/when something happens.
- Comment on How, and why, are there so many AI-generated videos of incredibly obscure/niche topics? 1 week ago:
Just guessing, but maybe content creators that focus on those niche topics are generating those for their videos?

Also wasted a lot of time, fuel, and manpower having an entire boat and crew looking for a jewel she had on her the entire time.

I’ve read that it helps protect your teeth from all the acidic food you’re gonna eat for breakfast, not necessarily for “hygiene” purposes.
