Burgers, Beer, and Swimming tonight, then going to see John Mulaney tomorrow night in Springfield.

I used to use Watchguard and was happy with the results, but somewhat pricey.

@DustinB3403 Find me a reference then. Everything I've seen points to the opposite. You are employed at the will of the company and can be terminated for almost any reason, or no reason. It doesn't matter if you've put in your two weeks notice or not. For reference here is the NYS Attorney General's list of Employee Rights.

No where does it say protection during a transitional period.

Also in an at-will state here. You are paid for the hours worked, if your employer let's you go, they have to pay you for every minute up until that point, but once you are fired, quit or other wise not working, your pay ends. If there is another contract outside of that, that may be the case, but nothing exists on state labor laws. Typically, you only give your 2 week notice so when you use the place you worked on your resume they will mark you available for rehire, and give a positive review. If you bail with no notice they won't mark you for rehire, then using them as a reference can be difficult.

2 things drive me away from a vendor faster than anything. 1. If they make it hard for me to give them money. Require a PO signed and faxed over approving the...NOPE. I will find a new solution.

Just take a CC and you are off and running!

Tried to buy a product direct from VMWare once after they bought Shavlik. So I contacted them, and tried to give them money. It took a week, and 3 faxes... yes fax after 2010. I had to write my CC number on paper and fax it to them then wait for them to email me my software. I haven't spent a dollar with them since.

Vague pricing or requiring my personal contact information before giving me a ball park idea of what something will cost up front. If I can't compare prices before I reach out to vendors I don't compare that vendor.

I know that if I addressed the 'rock in the room' I would do a lot to address my issue.... Some days I drink two cups of coffee and then two - three 20oz bottles of Mountain Dew.

Not enough water or other - no really a water fan...

I like iced tea a lot as a sub for other flavored beverages. I drink mine unsweetened so as to get the most benefit. Also still going to have some caffeine in if you do black or green teas. Could soften the blow of coming off the stuff you usually drink.

I started brewing Kombucha to fill this role for me. Bubbles, flavor, but low sugar, low alcohol, low cal.

For home browsing I use a Chromebook as my protection.

@wirestyle22 Your best bet is don't eat junk food, count your calories, and start walking. You don't need to worry about macro nutrients and strict workout routines for a long time until you have done the above for at least 6 months to a year. If you need any more than that, you need to sit down with a physician and work with them directly. There are 1,000 different diets, and ways to do it. There is not a best one one or right one, or a best practice, sorry. They all work, just find one you can stick too and do it, no exceptions, and give it a few months. You will feel better.

Also need to Mention this is a Microsoft Windows Environment.

Terraform

This is why I come here. I have researched Salt, Puppet, and Ansible, but I have never heard of Terraform.
