Well my university just sells them. It’s all in person so there is a lottery to determine place in line because it’s popular. And for us it’s piece meal, not 900 iPads all at once. Might have to do some research to figure out where but I’d suspect most universities do this sorta stuff.

For example I’m in NC so there is this: https://www.doa.nc.gov/divisions/state-surplus-property/retail-store-locations

Yeah I’ve found 2 year old Dell laptops that still had Accidental Damage Service still on them. Why the heck someone surplussed that is beyond me.

Yeah I just posted the same thing. I work for a university and we send useful stuff to surplus all the time. I can verify several universities in my area do in fact have warehouses with stuff like this in them.

University surplus. I work for a university and we get rid of stuff all tfe time that is still very useful.

Can the crease exist without the paper?

Then in my opinion, it isn’t a separate thing.

When my father died a while back we decided to cremate him. The amount of money they suggested we spend on a casket that was literally going up in smoke was ridiculous.

I may not be able to tell if one thing is handmade. Be give me two and I could. Handmade things will be slightly different.

Directly into the back like Apple mice.

OP said they wanted some stuff outside their home LAN which is very understandable for certain things, service checks which they mentioned specifically.

I’ve been using massivegrid. I think I currently pay about $20 a year with a pretty decent about of network. Works for me so far.

So it’s steak-umms?

Huh… oh.

There are much better than me in their fields of interest. But they are at the age that they think their parents are idiots (two are in their early 20s… the other two are older and starting to understand).

Here’s an example: The youngest tried to “explain” how some technology works and I had to go all Aslan on him … “Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch. I was there when it was written”. I’ve been working with computers and tech since the late 70s/ early 80s… I’m not that old just got started at a very early age and was good at it. He’s an environmental scientist so he’s no dummy. He’s just doesn’t quite grasp how much I know about certain things. Folly of youth I guess.

But yes they are better at many things, just not all. And yes I let them know frequently.

This is kinda hurting my head because I’m torn.

I’d want to know if I were the dad. I’ve been in IT for almost 30 years and I make mistakes and learn stuff all the time. It was very likely a brain fart moment.

The tricky part in my opinion is it coming from my kid. My kids are know-it-all assholes 😀 Luckily none of them are in IT.

If I were you I’d let it slide unless it happens again. I’d probably recheck his work a time or two just to verify it was a fluke. But old people retire for a reason. I’m old so I can say that.

This was my second thought. Some very complicated “sliding doors movie” Rube Goldberg situation…

But your story is like super specific. Are you really a murderous ant?

Ok this made me chuckle. I read it in Chris Pratt’s voice for some reason.

Yeah my first thought was do allergies count.

No because the neural systems for those defenses are still too immature. The have a startle reflex called the Moro reflex but it isn’t quite the same thing.
