- Comment on What should I do with this patio? 1 week ago:
I would take the whole thing out short of the side up against the house and put a decent wood picnic style table, a fire pit (if that’s allowed where you’re at) like one of the steel ones raised up off the ground and use the extra space for growing veggies and stuff.
Depends on what you want though.
Are you wanting to repair/replace it and have that whole patio area or are you willing to do a bit more with the earth underneath it?
You could always do like you said and use pavers or gravel some of the area too and still reclaim some of the ground underneath to use for other stuff.

They are probably just trying to keep consistency between an AD instance and Exchange or something like that. Or just laziness.
When we generate new user accounts we run a script that generates an email (so we don’t have to manually do it). It gets generated with the username of the individual which in our case would be first initial, last name. Then another alias gets generates to first.last@x.whatever and is set as primary. While the username@x.whatever is left as an alias, but would still technically work if you emailed it.
If a username already exists we will use the first and second letter of the first name and then the last name, etc.
In the above I mentioned consistency and laziness, but there is also another side, and that is your user base. If you are servicing hundreds of thousands of people or just a ton in general, consistency is very much preferred. Try having to explain to an end user that their login is simply “username” for their computer, but their email is “first.last@x.whatever” oh and let’s go ahead and loop in Azure SSO so now their software license login and login for all these other portals is “username@x.whatever”.
You end up with a mass of confusion. Sometimes simplicity is best when it’s possible.
- Comment on Amazon’s app will start listing items Amazon doesn’t sell 1 month ago:
This sounds very much like an attempt to generate traffic outside of their system so they can use it as a defense against a potential lawsuit for having a monopoly.
“See, we aren’t a monopoly, we push users to external platforms to purchase goods directly from other businesses.”
Not saying that’s what it is but it would make sense.

Lol

Well, your post says otherwise.
You have the intent to do actions that could impact the housing/land market.
BUT you noted that people can’t live on agricultural land where you are at just now. so that makes a big difference, and had you of made that clear your post might have been a little bit more well received.
So I think that is an interesting idea but you are still going against the grain there.
There are many people here that are very against the exact thing you are trying to do, so the reddit quip you made is kinda backwards lol.

Please no.
This is already a big problem we have with the world today, people trying to make money from land and housing. We need less people doing shit like this. Causing housing market issues just to make money.
Also, it might backfire on you. More “clutter” is more work/cost for a prospective buyer. You would need to be restrictive to buyers that specifically want your style, which could put you in a position of discrimination.
You could say, “but I’m only one person, it’s not going to make a difference” not thinking about the millions of other people out there doing the same thing. Don’t do this, just sell it and move on if you’re going to sell it.

Lol, we fucked up by saying we were dropping fact checking now we are going to fire a bunch of you to try to make up for the lost revenue.

Well I hope Ms Allen can untwist her knickers and realize what she is asking is stupid as fuck and not harmful to animals in any capacity.
Not that I agree with PETA anyway but this does not help animals in the slightest. It’s a waste of funds that could be better spent elsewhere to actually benefit animals.
- Comment on Any recommendations for a low-cost, low-hassle printer? 4 months ago:
The P1S by Bambu Labs, while not the cheapest (on sale now for 550$ without an ams) pretty much just works.
I’ve done PLA and PETG (various brands) using default settings and the thing just works. I’ve also used polycarbonate but that required a small amount of tweaking.
I guess it also depends on what you’re trying to print. If you are going to be printing figurines that you will paint, you might be better off getting a resin printer, though I can’t speak much to those as I haven’t used them, but we do use anycubic at work and I’ve seen some pretty good looking models come out of them.
I’ve also heard good things about the A1/A1 mini (also Bambu) from coworkers.
We probably have 30 or so 3D printers at work including a nylon powder 3D printer which is amazing but I’m not sure of the brand, and it’s probably expensive because it stands about 4.5 ft tall.

I’ve had that same issue before.
Thank you for fixing it!

- Comment on 'It even breaks my heart a bit': Denuvo pushes back on its haters, says Steam forums are a 'very toxic, very hostile environment' 5 months ago:
They are trying to “save face” by shit talking while refusing to show any true evidence that their product does not impact performance.
People are tired of it so they stop buying games that have Denuvo. Denuvo needs to look like a sound investment, but it’s bleeding out because it really isn’t, and companies are likely losing more than they are actually gaining via sales because of Denuvo, thus some companies are distancing themselves and Denuvo is losing money.
