Justin @optiplexprime.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The ankle kit was a bit big for my legs. ( Not the largest dude) So I am rethinking the carry. May just go man bag, as the older I get the less I like things on the belt line. The "other" EDC item. Enjoyed the take 2 and gave me some other ideas as well. Thanks for the solid content! 010
Justin @optiplexprime.bsky.social · 24/09/2026YouTube is stupid. Thank you @deviantollam.bsky.social Instead of my home built backpack kit ( which works but is buried day to day). I got this now. With narcan on board cause I just witnessed an OD the other day and couldn’t do anything about it but call 911. 120
Justin @optiplexprime.bsky.social · 02/10/2025There is a semi-retired on call guy who calls support every once in awhile. He's still on a Core2Duo Latitude with Windows 7 in the year 2025. 000

Justin @optiplexprime.bsky.social · 06/05/2025A lot of river flow modeling using 60+ years of data to tell us where a river will flow if we add/remove barriers to flow change, or mapping where rivers will flow if we remove dams for fish spawn restoration. We just removed a dam on the Klamath in CA and have more on the way. 110
Justin @optiplexprime.bsky.social · 02/05/2025Thanks @pugetsystems.com I can finally retire some old workstations. Been wanting a system from you since @barnacules.bsky.social showed his build at your office! 220
Justin @optiplexprime.bsky.social · 02/04/2025I remember about a decade ago, my IT manager, disabled the power button, hid the taskbar and pushed out a GPO of a BSOD wallpaper and included IT and management. No power button made the computers feel possessed. @jenmsft.bsky.social I think you would enjoy this IT Story. 010

Justin @optiplexprime.bsky.social · 08/03/2025I was diagnosed with epilepsy today. I was released to drive again after 4 months seizure free under medication. But one seizure and/or med change and poof its gone again. Here's to a future seizure free, I hope. 000
Justin @optiplexprime.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Know what happens when you plug a USBC iPhone into a Dell Thunderbolt dock setup? Screen mirroring. Glad my "what does this do" nerd test could be shared with you fine people. 000
Justin @optiplexprime.bsky.social · 12/02/2025I would be on disability at this point if I could not work from home. I had a seizure in November and lost my privilege to drive TBD. By working from home, I am supporting a $50M a year company, restoring rivers, removing dams, and keeping Salmon alive in the PNW. Scientists need working computers. 030
Justin @optiplexprime.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Can Microsoft stop bloating their software for a year? Us in the enterprise don't want new features, we want stability. 000

Justin @optiplexprime.bsky.social · 19/12/2024Instead of a traditional holiday break I’m going in for testing for my grand mal seizure I had in October. Hopefully they find something to explain it. I have been fine since, speech is still a bit slow, but almost 60 days out most side effects seem to be gone. See yall on the other side. 000
Justin @optiplexprime.bsky.social · 18/11/2024For those that don’t know. I had a grand mal seizure November 1st. 20 minutes long. I should not be here verbally, but I am by Grace from Above. I’m not even 60% verbal, talking is a struggle. But we are getting care at Stanford end of next month. 230

Justin @optiplexprime.bsky.social · 16/02/2024Ok. Who else calls a remote “the box”? It’s a saying from my father and I have no idea where it comes from. 000
