Go to your DMV with your birth certificate, social security card, and a utility bill with your name and proof of address for a replacement id.

I got 40-90 C down pretty well monitoring my PC temps in that I know more of what it should read in C compared to F.

The coolest thing that happened to me with teams was somehow being invited and automatically accepted to some corpo training event. 1000 attendees. My computer would not shut the fuck up with random people in chat. It was so strange. It was like a twitch stream chat but talking about excel instead.

Yeah but at first it was only Cingular to Cingular or Verizon to Verizon “free unlimited”

- Comment on Gen Z is forcing a workplace reckoning that should have happened years ago 7 months ago:
Not to mention I feel like I spent my whole working life having the “grateful to have a job” mindset. I’m not now, but worked construction through the housing market collapse, a recession or two thereafter. Many corporate bailouts. It wasn’t exactly easy to find a decent job if you didn’t “know” someone.
The global pandemic was a neat addition to the chaos of it all.
- Comment on UAW preparing the US for a general strike in 2028 7 months ago:
He’s speaking as a union rep, I get what you’re saying but he just can’t call a general strike. It would take years alone to get different trade union contracts to align to expire on the same year to get what he wants to do across. For example I’m in a steelworker union and my contract expires in 2027. If we sign a new contract in 2027 and participate in a general strike it wouldn’t be backed by our union and could be punishable. However if they vote to extend the current contract 1 year near the end of the contract (very likely) we would actually have steelworkers and auto workers contracts expiring on the same year which could be interesting if these assholes actually communicated with each other union to union.
Sorry if you knew all this but I took your comment as in a “why not sooner?” or “what are they waiting for?” context so I felt compelled to answer.

just a heads up for anyone deciding to make their own cables, make sure you buy pass through rj45 ends or it becomes substantially more annoying to make a successful crimp. with pass through you can prep your cable and it doesn’t matter how long you make the strands you’re working with because you cut the excess off, with non-pass through you have to cut them to a specific size and if it’s too long when they bottom out, your conductors will stick out making your crimp weaker inviting poor connection issues later in the cable’s life.
thank you for tuning in for this controls tech tip
