  • The Bible also condones slavery, rape, incest, misogyny, torture, and genocide, so who cares what it says.

    Also, who cares what others think of you in this blip of an existence if eternal peace awaits everyone who accepts the deity regardless of how evil ones actions may be.

    The Bible is a bunch of horseshit nonsense.

  • Christianity is a bunch of horseshit altogether. Here are some choice examples:

    "Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse." (1 Peter 2:18)

    “If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.” (Deuteronomy 25:11-1)

    "When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again." (Exodus 21: 7-8)

    “I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.” (1 Timothy 2:12)

    "O daughter Babylon, you devastator! Happy shall they be who pay you back what you have done to us! Happy shall they be who take your little ones and dash them against the rock!"(Psalm 137:8–9)

    And on and on it goes

  • It’s only happened twice, after updates, that windows turned one drive back on and remapped my desktops. In those cases I have just turned it back off and remapped back to normal. Then env:username works again and I think the only difference is the space in the path with one drive, though it could be something else breaking when the desktop gets remapped.

    I’m probably using powershell all wrong anyways because I am an amateur.

    I use it to grab a file from an sftp by calling on winSCP, then convert from csv to xlsx using the excel module, then run a bunch of VBA to reformat the file, then save the xlsx with a date stamp. I use task scheduler to run it daily and I have it on like 10 machines.

    Works great when one drive doesn’t mess with my desktop path.

  • I am using that already, but if I recall, it’s the space in the path ‘\one drive\’ that makes that not work correctly.

    Edit: I am actually using $Env:UserName

  • Even something as simple as:

    move-item “C:\Users\computername\Desktop\afiletomove.csv” (“C:\Users\computername\Desktop\destinationFolder\newFileName (0:MMddyyyy).csv” -f (get-date))

    Stops working as intended when your desktop no longer resides at that path.

    Also, I have the same functions running on multiple machines with different names so I have to dynamically resolve the path and piece it together using strings.

  • I have like 10 machines at 5 different locations. In order to share my 365 subscription across multiple machines, I have to have them signed into a Microsoft account. I need excel and ms access working on all my machines.

    It’s happen twice since I implemented windows 11, both times after major windows updates.

    Not too much trouble to re disable one drive and switch everything back to normal but it breaks a bunch of stuff for me when it happens.

  • One drive is the one that really ruffles my feathers.

    It turns itself back on randomly, which wouldn’t be too much of a problem except for that it fucking remaps the desktop.. a file that was previously located at C:\user\desktop\ is now at C:\user\One Drive\desktop…

    Note the space in the path, they didn’t even have the decency to use an underscore… \one_drive\… even though it’s one of their own rules in powershell scripting.

    For those of us using powershell to automate stuff this remapping is a nightmare and should be illegal.

    Too bad I am in the US and will just have to continue to get support calls from time to time when a users desktop gets remapped behind the scenes.

    Maybe there is a way using powershell and windows scheduled tasks to check to see if one drive turned itself back on, then auto turn it off and remap the desktop back to normal.

    The absurdity of having windows check to see if windows screwed itself up, then if so have it fix itself is just laughable.

  • Nothing wrong with having 3 cards, in fact that seems to be the sweet spot. Closing cards is never good so you don’t want to just go around willy nilly opening up cards.

    You are absolutely right in that you have to use it to have a good score, but you have to use it wisely. Maintain a low balance, don’t allow cards to go dormant, keep requesting increases to available credit every 6 months so that your utilization will be minimized, and diversify your portfolio with three cards, and at least one line of credit that you never use, and a revolving account like a car or home once you are ready. Sounds like you figured out their formula, congrats on the 800+.

    I was 812 until I bought a house, and that knocked me down to 760. Everything I read indicates that It will take at least 5 years of making extra payments on my house for me to get back to 800+, not that it really matters because the only reason I needed a high score in the first place was to get the house.
