Contacting your previous manager would likely be problematic, especially if you didn’t leave on good terms. I would contact the new hiring manager and explain the situation, and that you would prefer minimal contact with your previous manager, if possible. Were any of the previous issues documented? That could be helpful now. Also if you could, contact any previous colleagues you had a good rapport with and ask them to give a recommendation for you.
Why wait until after? With infinite money, you could buy controlling interest in every game publisher, fire and replace the execs, and have the studios focus their efforts on making quality games, rather than monetization.
Of course, you could also start your own studio(s) and make whatever the hell you wanted.
One of the stock ones. I had my phones on vibrate only for years, but when I started WFH full time with the pandemic, I turned the ringer back on so I could hear it if I was in another part of the house. I don’t care enough to download something else for the ringtone.
I did download a new tone for my alarm, though:
My dog is missing an ear, so that would make her stand out pretty easily. If the rest of the dogs were also missing an ear, I’d look for the one that was trying to play with the rest of them. Calling her name wouldn’t do any good anyways, since she would be way too distracted by the 99 other dogs.
From a usability standpoint, Lemmy just works better, for me at least. I used old reddit with RES and Firefox, but ran into random issues stemming from one of the two.
It doesn’t matter how it looks, since it’s going to be covered up. What does matter is how it feels. Run your hand over it. As long as it feels smooth, you’re good.
I saw The Matrix a few times in theaters and watched it regularly when the dvd came out.
Sure, but it’s hard to justify when the retail value is a fraction of that, and I can buy several other nice kits for the same price. I have plenty of other kits to build, so I’m fine with waiting.
Gunpla. That one rare, out-of-print kit that is only available on ebay for like $500. I have 3 grail kits, and fortunately, 2 of them are going to get reissued in the next 6ish months, and there’s a fair chance the third one may be reissued in the near future as well.
Another one for me is Godhand SPN-120-L. They are considered to be the best nippers on the market, and this is the left-handed version. Unfortunately, they’re only available on Godhand’s official site, and they only ship to Japan.
If you can afford it and it’s something you think you’ll enjoy, go for it. In the case of a motorcycle or similar item, make sure you can also afford insurance, maintenance, etc.
I work in IT (Sysadmin). “Oh, you fix computers? Can you look at my laptop?”
Sounds like Farenheit 451.
Pickles are definitely my favorite on that list. My favorite is probably zesty bread and butter, but I also love dill. Black olives are alright. Most pickled veg are pretty good. Pickled jalapenos are good, but I much prefer fresh ones.
Homegrown tomatoes of any type will beat the hell out of anything purchased at a store.
Don’t skimp out on things that separate you from the ground. Shoes, chairs, beds, etc. Those things can affect your posture and bad ones can put you in pain, and you’ll likely be spending a lot of time in them, so it’s worthwhile to spend extra on quality ones. I’d say getting 4 years out of a pair of boots is a steal.
On the subject of boots, I bought a pair of Wolverine leather work boots for about $120 back in the early '00s, and wore them for 10+ years, albeit only during the colder months and casually. The only thing that wore out on them were the insoles.
Gunpla and other mecha model builder, here. 1k Euro could get you anywhere from 4-75 model kits (likely more if you really wanted to stretch it), a sweet airbrush setup plus all the tools you could need, or a few nice display cases to show the finished models off in.
I would suggest looking at MS certification programs, even if you don’t want to take the exams. I haven’t taken a Windows Server exam in a while, but looks like the latest one is Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate. You’ll also want to look into things like Active Directory, Group Policy, printing and print servers, and domains and domain controllers. As you mentioned, some networking can be handled Windows-side, like DHCP and DNS, but depending on the org, may be handled by other solutions.
As far as getting your hands on Windows Server software, you can download from MS, and it will have a 180 day trial before activation, which can be extended.

Is your cousin not able to call his provider to find out?
As a fellow stickler of poor spelling/grammar, that last line made me twitch.
Yes, most likely. OP didn’t give details, but maybe that’s the only position in their area they are qualified for that offers a salary that meets their living expenses. There’s also the possibility that the company is overall good to work for and it was just shitty manager/team they were stuck with before. I agree that taking a pay cut can oftentimes be better overall if the new job is easier to handle, but we all have bills to pay, and sometimes the lower salary just won’t cut it.
