OT: Anything Goes 40

[ChiHawks10]

Agree totally on ruining scotch with soda. I prefer mine neat. This weekend we're enjoying some Aberlour 12.

And yeah, this is also an attempt to derail the whole soda debate/argument/event.

Haven't had the Aberlour 12. It's kinda funny, because I typically prefer scotch to bourbon, but I have like 75 bottles of bourbon, and only about a dozen bottles of Scotch.

Big big fan of Aberlour. I’d take it over MaCallan, Balvenie, or Oban any day. The best way to drink scotch is neat and with a draft beer next to it

Not a fan of bourbon. But there's never an accumulation of scotches at our place.

Really like it too. Also really like the Aberfeldy 12, great scotch for the money.

Three uncracked bottles of scotch in my cabinet. Aberfeldy 12, Macallan Harmony Rich Cacao, and Balvenie 14 Caribbean Cask. I'm sure they'll all get cracked soon with the holidays coming up.

I can't post about fantasy in a hockey thread.

I don't think I'll ever get used to the fact that, in the financial world, the abbreviation for thousand is M and for million is MM.

Oh, a $60M loan? This is a big project oh wait it's just a small payroll thing.

That's dumb.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

M is a thousand in Roman Numerals.

 

[ChiHawks10]

M is a thousand in Roman Numerals.

Still dumb.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

I agree. K should be the shorthand for thousand.

But spitting into the wind on that.

Also, I'm watching updated security training, and these f***ers are seriously suggesting that we use 25+ character unique passphrases for our different accounts that we change at least once every three months.

GTFO of here with that. I barely remember my wife's birthday and my social security number, and you want me to have five or six seperate catchphrases changed four times a year each?

I wrote all of my passwords down in a little book and have none of them saved. It’s super annoying but there’s always data leaks and breaches. Just got one from HF a few days ago actually because this is one of the very few sites I stay logged in to because I have no payment info linked to it

Standard practice in the IT world these days. Particularly if you have a lot of access to very sensitive information, which I know you do.

90 days is the standard time on password changes, also. This is all pretty standard stuff.

Our company requires 14+ character passwords, with a combination of 3 letters, numbers, caps, symbols, etc., and a change every 90 days that is automatically enforced. And these are people who really don't have access to anything sensitive, outside of the intellectual property of our company. No access to personal banking info, ss numbers, etc.

The "bad guys" are getting smarter and smarter, and better and better at what they do. One crypto event/infection could bankrupt an entire company. It has. Lots of them.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

I get the reasoning, but man these requirements are annoying. Bring back the luddite days, dagnabbit.

They also warned against writing passwords down, so their honest expectation is to have a different catchphrase for each of our multiple work accounts that's somehow memorable but not easy to guess.

And the only thing that comes to mind for me would be for five lyrics from a song and choose a new song every quarter. Every nonsensical phrase to remember would be just wash together.

Just use one of the thread titles from HF.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Im masking again. I know it's not that effective, but any protection is better than nothing given the amount of braindead assholes who walk around coughing everywhere without covering their mouth.

I never stopped lol. I don't want people's nasty germs

That's actually a very good idea if you include special characters

Fiddy is just a password generator for Shogun.

Huh…. that’s actually a decent idea.

I have changed some of how I live but I am at the point where I don't wear a mask (haven't for a while" I am just of the mindset now that Covid-19 is just part of life going forward. I washed my hands really well or used hand sanitizer. I charge my phone is a UV light sanitizer each night (I actually launched the product for my for company right before Covid really hit in the US) and rarely let people touch my things but you can only control so much.

The rapper Takeoff from Migos was killed yesterday. Word is a stray bullet from his own friend when a fight broke out after a private party they were at at a pool hall/bowling alley.

Week off paid with the mildest case of Covid imaginable.

Went on a bike ride south down the lakefront trail. Close to 20 miles total. BEAUTIFUL day. A little windy.

We’re spoiled with Lake Michigan. Truly is something awesome to see when the sun is out and it’s so vibrantly blue. Especially with the city skyline in the background.
