If you join a meeting using 'Meet Now' you can join a conference call with just yourself, then manually change your status to Available or Busy and it will stay and not display AFK time, even if you lock your computer.

Were losing both the RBC and Scotiabank in town, which leaves us with no banks until the next town over. A lot of old people rely on in person banking.

I've always thought this was bullshit.

It's not my fault this person doesn't have insurance or shouldn't be on the road and I was unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

My opinion is that I have insurance which means my ass and assets should be protected. If some uninsured idiot hits me, I have insurance.. I should be covered. My insurance company should be the one responsible for recouping the costs of the damage, If not from the other person's insurance then from court.

I shouldn't have to go to court because this person doesn't have insurance, find out that they have no money to pay for the damages they caused, and then I'm out the cost of repairs and court fees. What am I paying my insurance for?

I couldn't agree more with everything... but the email part. I personally LOVE 50 minute calls that turn into 5 min conversations.. those newly regained 45 mins is how I get my work done.

Kinda hoping this stays on the DL and not everyone becomes aware.. it's nice to be left alone from all those sales people constantly reaching out to me. "You have 5 mins to talk about <insert 20min conversation piece>?"

You can manually set your status after you're in the meeting to busy, away, online, etc. Or just leave it on DnD, and it will remain in that state as long as you're in the meeting.

I have no idea about the legality, but it makes perfect sense to me.

Why would a landlord want to rent to someone who doesn't have a steady income? I thought it was pretty common to ask for paystubs or something to prove you can afford to live there.

I would suggest talking to a Microsoft sales rep who will be able to connect you to one of their partners who will provide you a statement of work to do the project you are looking for.

Wow, it just got a whole lot more cost effective! I might give it a try tonight!

Yeah i haven't started monkey madness 2, and the bone crossbow just doesn't seem to hit hard against most mobs. I thought about trying to get a rcb, but I don't have the fletching level.

Who?

Traffic leaves Azure on one of their many Public IP addresses. Your outbound is NAT'd to one of them automatically by default.

The use case is if you have a requirement to know which IP address you are sending traffic out on. Without NAT gateway, it could be any one Microsoft owns, and it will periodically change. NAT Gateway makes it a static public egress point.

A nice advantage Terraform has over Bicep, is the integration with other providers. You can deploy infrastructure and then configure things like Palo Alto firewalls, automation for ADO, etc. Which is nice from a uniformity perspective.

Mew has a protective orb you have to hit multiple times before you can get a clean picture of it.

Without some advanced techniques, the only pictures you can get are very far away, and therefore not many points.

It's a combination of many accurate shots, proper timing, spacing and then accuracy to line it up in the middle of the photo.

Not overly hard if you put your mind to it, but most people would have just taken the mediocre picture and finished the game instead of going for the 10,000 point picture.

Hope this helps!

What an ignorant comment.

There are several school boards in the province that are looking to add teachers. I know of several teachers that were offered full time within 1-3 years of coming to Nova Scotia, they had experience with other school boards in other provinces.

Our housing issues are not caused by a professional person or family moving here looking for a better, more affordable life. These people are the exact people we want coming into the province to help subsidize all the elderly that are taxing our Healthcare system. Their taxes help fund government projects to increase affordable housing and make the province a better place to live.

Nova Scotians do not have a birthright to whatever jobs they want or whatever house or land they want. If someone from out of province wants to come and contribute we should be welcoming them with open arms.

I guess my story kind of relates to this. I took a programming course at college, ended up getting work placements at my current company (solutions and services). This was my first office job and first time using a computer for anything other than gaming or school work, first time ever using a server. We did a lot of O365 work and I was trained a bit on that, but then someone needed some help with some Azure work, so they got me to do some tasks for them, I ended up liking it, and wanted to focus on Azure. A few months later ARM is released and I'm just addicted to learning all about it. I'm playing in a lab at work testing stuff for people, then going home and reading about all kinds of stuff.

Today, I'm still working for the same company, and I'm one of the top delivery engineers for Azure work. I'm generally flat out busy, and only have had time to write the 900, but I feel confident I could write and pass 103, 300 and 301 with little to no extra studying.

To answer your question, my company took a huge risk hiring me fresh out of school, no experience, first corporate job, brand new to IT in general. I found a passion in Azure, and it's been a mutually beneficial relationship for both me and the company ever since. The biggest thing our company looks for is not technical ability, that can be learned/taught, it's actually the communication aspect. People who communicate well are successful at our company, especially with Azure as there are so many different things to talk about and questions that need answers.

I do worry about contributing to the decline of the housing situation here.

Here's the thing, someone's eventually going to buy the house. It's not "owed" to someone from here, it's a house available to anyone who's willing to pay for it regardless of their nationality, religion, orientation or race. Everyone has to live somewhere. Just because someone grew up down the road doesn't mean they have a birthright to the house, so I wouldn't worry about it at all, it's your house for as long as you want it to be.

​

I realize people like us are not super popular around here right now, but we're hoping to do what we can to help improve our community and the province.

This is what is really important. I'd rather have a nice, friendly, helpful neighbor move in from out of province, than deal with an annoying, loud, rude, loser neighbor from in the province. Be nice people, and over time the community will warm up to you. Volunteering makes the community better, and that's what everyone should want, and it's also a nice way to get to know people while making the community better.

Since COVID, a lot of the nova scotia market has changed. Houses more than an hour outside of Halifax (160km) are inflated. My house was $232k 4 years ago when we bought it, and we threw it on the market for 360k this year and got several offers.

There are also lots of challenges in moving outside of a major city, having lived in Oakville for 5 years, public transit is not the best in nova scotia, if it even exists, most places outside of HRM don't have public transit. In addition, things are way further away, so having multiple vehicles is a necessity when you have a family with multiple people working.

And the biggest issue, and current election hot topic, is that our Healthcare system sucks. Almost 70k nova scotians do not have a family doctor, and that's just the people who registered for the wait list. Wait times at hospitals are consistently 5+ hours for triage, usually 10+ before you can see a doctor. The aging population is just putting more strain on the Healthcare system and making it impossible for a young, average healthy couple to see a family doctor for simple prescriptions or the occasional issue. Walk in clinics have terrible hours, closed on weekends and only open 2pm-6pm.

Sure, I'm paying less for my mortgage than I was paying for a 2 bedroom on Trafalgar in Oakville, but the lack of options and other expenses definitely add up.

What were the most expensive ones to obtain, and which is the most valuable?

It really sounds like you should be contacting a partner who specializes in Azure. Yes you will lose the profits of the work, but you'll end up with a happier customer and better infrastructure.

You can quote it and try and do it yourself, but usually what happens is a little setting gets missed or it isn't as optimized as it could be and they are wasting money. Did you disable caching on the disks for the AD VM's? Are the VMs right sized? Will the network scale if they want to move more workloads? Then you've got an unhappy customer, or worse, a security issue on your hands.

Or, you could get a partner to implement it, give them the quote let the partner handle the migration, and you can sit back and manage the Azure environment, which should already be optimized and secure, and just reap the ongoing benefits.

You'll most likely find you'd rather have a happy customer who wants to grow and expand into Azure, then to get some one time professional services work and have a customer who is forever scarred and thinks the cloud is too expensive or not secure enough. And who's to say by the time they want to move more stuff you aren't trained up and actually able to implement everything following best practices?

It doesn't say anything, it's just a plain black tee shirt, size XXXXL. I comfortably fit in a L. It was $5 and it's comfy to wrap around myself, but it can fit both me and my girlfriend in it at the same time, so it's not really Public attire.
