Just sit back and allow the frustration you must be feeling to soak into every cell in your body. Ah, now doesn't that feel better?

Are you responsible for installing dev tools or is that done by your IT division?

IT has to do it. We have nothing resembling admin rights on our boxes.

Ah, then this is pretty shoddy on their part. Waste of everyone's time.

It goes a lot deeper than a few apps that haven't been installed.
And "shoddy" is much too mild of a term to use for describing it...

You guys just need an ISSO(formerly IASO) specifically for your shop computers. Sec+, a secret clearance, and ISSM(IAM) appointment orders for IATII will generally get you an admin CAC and then you're golden; aside from an online course or two that's all it should require.
We're "lucky" enough to be grossly understaffed by DoD 8500 standards, so multi-hatting is a thing and I can install my own tools. The minus was having to get a CISSP.

Without starting a flame war on the 'correct' method of denoting the date, happy Pi day.
The system I worked with, OSISoft's Plant Information (PI) System has been a steady thread in my career from the early 90s through the present.
Enjoy the day; do some good.

Inspired by the return of MQOTD, the death of David Ogden Stiers and THIS PICTURE[^] that just showed up on my Farcebook timeline (Completely SFW, but not for your sense of fashion):
MASH is easily my favourite tv-sitcom EVER. I need to stock up on popcorn and start binge-watching the entire 11 seasons (AGAIN)!
If ever there was a show that needed reviving, that's it!
But it made me start thinking: Alan Alda is too old, so who would they cast as Hawkeye now? I have one actor in mind I think would make one hell of a Hawkeye, but I'd be interested in hearing your ideas.
And how about the rest of them?
Initial cast:
Hawkeye Pierce
Trapper John McIntyre
Frank Burns
Henry Blake
Hotlips Houlihan
Radar O'Reilly
Father Francis Mulcahy
Final cast:
Hawkeye Pierce
B.J. Hunnicut
Charles Emerson Whinchester
Sherman T. Potter
Hotlips Houlihan
Maxwell Klinger
Father Francis Mulcahy
Last thing: Who's your favourite non-resident character? Mine is definitely the stark raving Colonel Flagg, and for some reason, I'd really like to see Bruce Willis in that role.

Nah ... bring back Soap[^]
Now, that was a sitcom!
MASH was damn good - but just calling it a sitcom is selling it too cheap, I'd say.

Don't think I have one really - I'm not sure a reboot (or worse, a remake) would work. MASH was a product of its time, the Vietnam War was still very fresh in the mind. It worked because it was close enough in time to be "real" and the Korean War was far enough in time to have jokes made about it.
Now? The world is different, and I think it would get given a "modern update" or "modern interpretation" which would ruin it. Think about it: how much of what went on would be PC these days?

lol millennial liberals are getting triggered by re-runs of Friends, how do you think they'd react to MASH? They'd claim it's transphobic, full of men abusing their power to sexually harass women...the complaints would be endless. Poor sensitive souls!

In that case, I'd say: Let's force them to watch the entire 11 seasons of Married with Children (another favourite of course)!

I'm not sure they would survive the first episode let alone the whole series.
