Pre-show is showing it’s absolutely pouring. Hopefully they will actually start.

The reason why ads are such a big business is because they work on everyone, even those who say they’ll go out of their way to not use the brand they saw ads for.

Isn’t that simply because no straight mode is allowed in Monaco?

That playoffs was fun to watch, not in the least because it was funny to see a jacked dude like Omori, who doesn’t look like a rikishi yet, get handled like he’s out of his league. I know he is a genuine future pro ofcourse, but the visual difference was still great.

Euthanasia is accepted and has been legal in Belgium for decades. It’s not perfect but clearly better than nothing as it has stopped many people from needlessly suffering or worse, forcing their loved ones to discover their bodies after doing it themselves. (Though it still happens as many, many things aren’t covered or extremely hard)

Onosota just withdrew apparently.

It’s great to see him diversify a bit like this.

Given that I slept awfully and decided to just wake up early anyway to watch the F1 GP and the sunday morning sumo, I was not fully awake enough to have an actual relevant or coherent opinion unfortunately. Still, it was great to know that we’re back again for two weeks of sumo!

I’m definitely rooting hard for Aonishiki to make Yokuzuna, even if I think that he’ll need luck to make that, which maybe means he doesn’t fully deserve it. (I think that if he wins, he’ll again win with a 12-3 and win the deciders) In that respect he’s already lucky that Onosato lost his first match and some of the other people that can realistically beat him, already have a loss on day 1.

Hoshoryu won, but he’s still not looking like he’s a 100%. Kotozakura is looking very strong though, I honestly kind of dismissed him from my own list of contenders to win, but he looked great.

It was great to see Ura use some classic simple sumo to get a win for once. I hope he can get a real good record after the negative score he had last time that didn’t really reflect how close some of those matches were.

The new regulations are probably his best shot for that.

I totally agree that adopting is a big responsibility. Still, personalities don’t always fully come out in the shelter. We adopted a 15 year old to give him a golden basket. We were told he’s calm while withdrawn, while still at ease around other cats. What we got was a 15 year old acting like 2 year old. Absolutely races through the house and wants to play a lot with the other cats to the point they get annoyed, and is constantly and aggressively trying to steal from our plates. Frequently gets the zoomies at four in the morning which can result in facelicking. Still love him ofcourse, but I can imagine it’s harder to deal with if you’re in your 70’s and expected a cat that at least doesn’t try to use your legs as tree trunks on the way to food. Trying to find a family that matches the kitty’s personality doesn’t mean you’re a bad person imo. Throwing them on the street is evil of course.

That sounds like GitHub Copilot though.

They are desperate. I literally had a sales person reach out to ask how she could help us use copilot more because they can see literally nobody is using it despite a limited amount of usage is included in our M365 business standard licences. This after me already making a ticket to stop the behaviour of the home page automatically loading the copilot page instead of the classic home page with the overview I want to land on.

Honestly if anything he should focus on creating a solution where he can have DKIM active. He has dmarc and SPF, but not DKIM.

I’ve read through the post and the comments again, and it’s also that he doesn’t seem to want to train his users. They’re familiar with Gmail so he wants them to be able to use it. His users probably use their mailbox as an archive, and he doesn’t want to train them into understanding this is a bad idea, and he doesn’t want the hassle of dealing with ever increasing mail storage. At my previous job, we had Exchange Online, so 50 GB of storage. I was still explaining to my users, they should store their handled mails in archives if they wanted to be sure they would always have them. (Obviously stored on parts of their hard drives set up to synch to the fileserver which had daily backups)

All of these things are normal parts of an admin’s responsibilities. The only reason he’s getting away with his setup is because he owns the business and there’s been nobody there for the past 20 years to explain this would lead to problems down the line. (Or if there have been, he’s conveniently ignoring that)

Now they’re here, he’s blaming Google for what is probably the least evil thing they’ve done this year.

I admit I know nothing about him apart from the linked wiki page elsewhere. But nothing I read there seems to indicate he can be a good admin.

What you state he wants to achieve is what ignorant managers sometimes say they want without understanding how silly it is. I was in IT twenty years ago already, while still being green and unbearded, and even then this would have been an extremely bad and dumb idea.

You forgot to add that he obviously refuses to hire an actual IT admin to do IT admin stuff.

Being good in one thing doesn’t make you good in something else. He is an inexcusably bad IT admin. The devs I work with don’t ask for my opinion on code and if they would, it would probably sound nice to someone who doesn’t know shit, but it’d still be a dumb opinion. Likewise I don’t ask for their opinion on how to create our IT infrastructure (beyond of course asking their requirements for testing servers and such). If they have an opinion on it, it’s generally not very coherent or founded in reality. Like the complaints of this guy. Though they’re generally not this dumb.

What a damn moron to both have this setup and the audacity to complain that it will stop ‘working’.

But is that problem caused by Google or by the objectively worse service that won’t allow you to change your address?

He competes, last I saw at white belt. And he has beaten (and lost to) other white belts who compete, and for sure we’re looking for a chance to beat one of the richest people in the world. People who don’t train don’t understand how bad they are at fighting. Even a casual white belt competitor in his forties would wreck an overweight 50 year old. It wouldn’t even be close.

But to say he’s high level is pushing it though. If he keeps training and actually rolling without yes-men, he could become high level. I say that as someone who dislikes him though. But being an asshole doesn’t stop you from being good in Bij plenty of assholes and worse people are amongst the best.
