My work provides these for designers and I love it. I've been using it everyday for 5 years, I will admit it has become a crutch and I feel useless if I'm working from home and I forgot it at the office. Don't sleep on the hot keys either, sometimes they are program specific and sometimes they are operation specific with the program itself. I.E. I use inventor for 3D design and the assembly, part, and sketch tabs all have different hot key menus.

A new hunting rifle, my coworker invited me up north for a hunting trip. In my state you can only use certain gun calibers in the area I hunt at, but up north you can use longer range bullets. I've been wanting to get into long range shooting for a while but could never commit. I debated for a while and finally bit the bullet and got a ruger with a nice scope, got to take it to a 300 yard range and oh boy that was a lot of fun ringing 8 inch steel gongs from that distance. Didn't get a deer though but I'm happy with my purchase.

That was my thoughts too, by the time she gets to the brothel, I thought okay she's going to get bored and move on with her story. But nope, she stays there for most of the movie. Like what was the message here?

Michigander here, my buddy has a cabin in this town and I'd go up north a few times a year for a long weekend on the river. He also has some family that have lived in Big Rapids forever. His uncle, red as they come, was telling me he thought it was a great idea to bring in more jobs to a smaller college town and that was the general sentiment of the town.

He also told me that the "No Go On Gotion" movement was started by some wealthy realtor that was salty that Gotion bought up the property surrounding their luxury estate and horse farm to build low cost housing for the future workers. Driving into town there's an entire road lined with anti-gotion signs on one side, and it just so happens that is the edge of the realtors property.

Band Geeks, by far.

Is mayonnaise an instrument?

Currently eating leftover Bdubs, that tore me up a few days ago. You just can't beat BOGO boneless thursdays.

Funny, I never have trouble finding size 13, but I'm more of a 12.5. They don't sell or make them at any stores, so I can't even try them on to test out my theory. Couple years ago, I was on Amazon looking for some Merrells, and I noticed they did have a 12.5 option available, it jacked the price up from 100 to like 250. So I guess they do make them but in very limited supply.

Not a mistake but etiquette. I spent some time in Jersey and New York and noticed it was not uncommon for a car in the left turn lane to gun it when the light turned green and impede oncoming traffic. Rarely do I see that in the midwest and when I do I call it as it is, the Jersey Pullout.

I made this account shortly after watching Jackass 4. One of the new guys brings his dad on, this guy served time and did not look like he was one to fuck with. They put his head in a fishbowl with a tarantula and he instantly went into full bitch mode. That man's name was Dark Shark.

Yes, he said that as one of his major points on his Rogan interview, granted he said that while mocking Biden's climate policies.

 
 

So recently my work, a mid sized engineering firm, decided to start upgrading their IT security. The rumor is that we have potential DOD work coming our way. Over the past few months there has been multiple company decided changes to our 2 factor authentication mobile app. I willingly installed the app on my phone over a year ago because without it I could no longer use my laptop out of office and couldn't use Microsoft teams or outlook on my phone.

So about 2 months ago my company updated the 2FA policy and because of that, my phone is no longer compliant on the basis of it being to old. The initial consequences were that I lost access to email and teams on my phone, not a big deal because I prefer not to think about work on my off hours. Fortunately, I could still use a txt message to 2FA into my laptop incase I did need to work from home.

Fast forward to last Friday, our IT director sent out an email saying they were again making changes to the 2FA policy over the weekend. Among other things, the changes included removing the txt 2FA option, meaning I could no longer access anything work related as soon as I step out of my office building. Sounds like a dream right, and a good excuse to fall back on.

Come Monday, I find out that I need to use the 2FA app to access our payroll software to fill out my timesheet, even when I am inside the office sitting at my desk. Luckily, I filled out my previous weeks timesheet on Friday. So next Monday, as far as I'm aware, I will not be able to fill out my timesheet to get paid.

My situation: I will admit I am stubborn about buying new electronics, my phone is a Samsung S8 that I bought in 2017 when it was brand new. I currently see no benefits of anything the new phones have to offer but the day my phone decides to die, I will gladly walk into a store and buy a brand new android phone. My work does not provide cell phones and has refused my request to compensate me for my work related phone usage. I have been very vocal to my manager and bosses that they cannot force me to buy a new phone just to continue doing my job efficiently, and now it seems doing my job at all. The responses I have recieved were very indirect and not at all helpful to my situation. Really, I just want them to give me an ultimatum or some other option. I am not willing to lose my job over this but I dont want to give in and buy a new phone just so I can click OK on an 2FA app.

So Lemmy, how should I approach this ticking time bomb?
