I worked hell desk for an MSP for a couple years. I imagine all MSPs are pretty similar. They run with too few employees and half ass everything. I ended up doing a lot of high level stuff most days because I was the only one in the office. The other guys would create problems to be able to go onsite and focus on one job and the company almost encouraged that behavior because onsite visits make money. I was left to do basically everything. I had a lot of freedom and someone less competent could have done some serious damage in my position. They gave us all domain admin privileges and shared passwords for everything.

It was very eye opening, but when I transferred to internal IT for a non profit I was blown away at the difference. People take time to do things correctly and everything is so organized. Our AD environment is partitioned to perfection. I love it. I don't have nearly as much power as I used to, but I love that our team does things the right way. All the companies trying to cut costs by using MSPs are going to learn a harsh lesson one day.

I've never bought from Canadian Tire before so I can't completely speak to that. I will say my IKEA bed is very obviously made of plyboard. It's fairly sturdy, but cost almost $300 used. The point is we used to build things to last with strong materials, but we can't now due to the fact that resources have dwindled faster than we can replenish them.

Exactly! Somehow, in my lifetime, plyboard has became mid tier. This shit is insane.

Have you bought a desk or dresser recently? The cheap ones used to be made of plyboard, now it's 90 percent plastic and the same price. Resources aren't as plentiful as they used to be and minimalism is the result of that.

Those few examples are 97 percent of people on the planet?

I didn't think that managers like Michael Scott actually existed.

I'm not even interested in having this skin in my personal space.

Very true, they also get way more media coverage. Hardly anyone pays attention when a liberal who isn't famous speaks out.

He's going to pretend he's not a nazi to try to save his shitty businesses because the backlash to the reveal was worse than they expected. Too bad republicans don't really care about EVs and democrats aren't buying that he's changed.

Why the fuck do republicans always think somehow they're the majority and everyone agrees with them? I don't understand how the richest person in the world and the most powerful person in the world can't see that most of the world hates them. Even most republicans hate them, but they're just relieved to have any republican in power.

Those do look really comfortable! I wear something very similar for work, but they have more a dress shoe look. Almost exactly like these but thinner I think: https://a.co/d/cLPsGH6

I've only done it about 5 times so far and I don't see any discoloration yet. I actually got this spray from a CBD company years ago. It's only alcohol, lemon, and water as far as I can tell.

If the insides of my shoes start to turn white I'll come back to your comment to let you know.

My feet sweat a lot so I wear very thin shoes with airation holes and they're usually pretty stretchy. I slide my shoes off and on easily and only tie them once when I first have to buy a new pair. Usually the heel blows out before anything else, but it's probably my fault because I throw them in the washer/dryer trying to fight the stink from sweaty feet.

If anyone else has this problem I just recently found that hand sanitizer spray works way better than washing and drying because the alcohol kills the smelly bacteria.
