Network monitoring engineers: explains for the umpteenth time that a node reporting down isn’t just a single dropped packet

OCD/AuDHD wreaks havoc on my executive function, and was left untreated for so long that my life is now falling apart.

I’m insufferable for completely different reasons.

I’m a Lucoa kind of guy myself, but not for the reasons you think.

10/10, well done!

ExtremeRate should have you covered at some point.

What a horrible day to have eyes.

I’m aware. I also have various anxiety disorders and claustrophobia. Thoughts can trigger things just as easily as actual events.

This entire discussion has me on the edge of a panic attack, even though I am by myself and in no imminent danger.

I would leave about 1/4 acre unmowed on the side

If I did that my entire yard would be overgrown, because it’s smaller than that lol. I did let the backyard mostly go wild a few years ago, had an interesting mix of native species and invasive. Invasive won by a landslide, even while manually keeping the English ivy in check. Creeping Charlie and purple deadnettle went everywhere. Some areas eroded so much due to lack of turf roots (either outcompeted or succumbed to the combo of early direct light followed by shade most of the day) that it’s basically just big baked bald spots. One of these years I’m going to try and figure something out to repair it… just need the intersection of time and money.

Also run all those “mosquito control” companies out of town, because they’re killing all the insects on all the properties around wherever they spray

Had a guy knock on my door a few months ago. They were “doing work in the neighborhood” (of course) and offering to treat the yard for carpenter ants. I declined. “It sure would be a shame if your neighbors all got treated and you ended up with an infestation.” Buddy, if all you got is movie mob threats, your career in “sales” is going to go about as well as the last dozen things you tried and failed at.

I got tired just reading your list. Hope you feel better soon.

Sociopathy, mostly.

You’re probably miracle-intolerant.

It’ll cure what ails ya.

Somehow. Doesn’t matter what it is. Miracle cure, yessiree.

The most painful part is when I go to garden centers and see it for sale.

“Buy it for life!”

I’m playing whack a mole with my own ivy. Fuck the prior house owners for letting it get out of hand. I got all of it from the trees and the side of the house but it always grows back. I’m still finding sprouts from thick woody vines that have been there forever apparently. I tried removing it from the fence but realized very quickly that it’s the only thing holding it together. 😒

And fuck the English for bringing it over (we both know it was them, even their plants are colonizers).
