@Kimberlin do I know you? (sorry if that's a stupid question)

@Dominica Exactly! I just...wow. I know prego ladies have crazy hormones but that's just...somethin' ain't right there...

I'll start.

Hey, I broke into the mall after hours last night!
You did what?
I broke into the mall last night!
With who?
My brother.
For how long?
A few hours. There was a bakery in there I've been wanting to try!
And for how many cookies?!
Let's just say that they were fairly shocked this morning by their supply change seemingly overnight.

GO!

Please keep this somewhat clean. As in, no strong language. Inuendos I leave to the mods to decide on.

Write a mock conversation where you or your friend are the below dialog and the other one is on the other side.

Still in limbo confusion about how...what?!

@Nic And having it in writing is CYA for them. People can't be stupid and plead ignorance.

@scottalanmiller you're asking for it...

Well said. Really nothing limiting here as far as rules that I can see. Basically common courtesy and common sense.

@ajstringham It's whatever you want it be.

Youtube Video – [00:19..]

@bill-kindle What is this "normal" of which you speak? I've heard of this concept referenced over and over but never understood it.

@Dominica In regards to your number 2, I agree. There are a lot of shows that when you watch them as a kid and watch them as an adult it's almost like two entirely different shows. I've never seen Last of the Mohicans but I've always heard good things about it. As far as the sobbing, I cry like a hormonal pregnant woman at a fair amount of movies. Not ashamed to admit it. How can you hate Dumb and Dumber?! And I heard Frozen was good but haven't seen that either.

@ajstringham You said you were bored. I said get a girlfriend. She will occupy your time.

I don't remember saying that. I sometimes think I'm a little absent-minded but I can't be sure about that either...

@scottalanmiller Agree with Scott. Linux is stupid simple to setup so doing it any other way is harder.

@scottalanmiller Yup. Walking into an environment and hearing someone say that snapshots are their backup strategy...here's what you do.

1. Apply face to palm.
2. Remove face from palm.
3. FIRMLY apply palm to other person's face. Repeat until sense has been enabled.

I sort of did this until about 6 years ago - A VMWARE expert who was helping me setup my infrastructure laid it out for me about snapshots. Whenever I talk about them now, I express that my policy is that snapshots are only allowed to live on my network for a few hours, until I am assured that I don't need to immediately go back to it. It is a fall back process, not a backup strategy.

That's exactly right. I've been told to never snapshot a DC though if it's in a dual+ DC environment. Causes split-brain issues. Makes sense.

People say this about DCs but it applies to any database or HA system.

That would be true and make sense. Anything that has references between points or failovers this would be a bad thing to do to.

@scottalanmiller Then there are people in five countries on here! WOOHOO!

@scottalanmiller
I disagree. But, as you love, let's just agree to disagree.

Not sure if we have any Canadians yet. Offhand I can't remember.

@bytesnake Welcome! Now there are people here from Philippines, Germany, US and UK. I miss any?

I also really like the functionality here, as well as all of the familiar faces! Too bad I don't have a whole lot of intelligent input on the current topics

You've got more management experience than technical expertise. I have no doubts there will be plenty of places your experience would be invaluable for good advice vs. the average IT person's.

@Minion-Queen

Agreed!
