    Think that pretty much all tech companies are putting it on "hold" right now. We got our notice of it at the beginning of month.

    We had to add an insane amount of capacity for teleworking. 6500 additional virtual machines.

    How good are you with Citrix?

    We do quite a bit of Citrix VDI and VMware Horizon. Personally the largest project I've worked was for about 20k desktops through Horizon. Largest Xen desktop that I've worked on was probably eh 8k back in the day. I could get you in touch with our public sector people if you want to have a discussion with them.

    We have staff through Systems Made Simple/Lockheed/Leidos (whoever is lead on the contract) and they use a number of local companies for subs (KForce, RavenTek). We just say "we need X amount of people with Y skills" and they go and find them.

    Works for me.

    Morning!

    I freaking love that "easy bake oven"! I made reverse seared steaks last night and they were sooooo good!

    I'm biased, but I put those reports in the same category as Consumer Report's continued bashing of Tacos, while they continue to get the highest owner ratings for that class. There are a lot of doo-dads on the trucks from the Big 3, but mine is an SR5, ferchrissakes, and has enough features for me. More features = more :censored: to go wrong.

    As far as scooting, eliminating the onerous algorithms built into the throttle by wire, which I did with the $300 Pedal Commander, will put a grin on anyone's face but my wife, who simply shook her head and called me an idiot. But I'm her idiot! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    There must be other reasons, or Dell had a stupidly high 401K match, if you're thinking about moving just over that.

    Do a tri-tip next. Crazy good. I talked a coworker out of buying a Costco Traeger yesterday, and into a Rec Tec 590. Friends don't let friends buy Traegers. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    I think my home router shit the bed last night. CPU fan isn't running and we can't connect to it, even though all the lights are coming on. Shit.

    Might be a great excuse to run to Sam's and buy the latest and greatest monster.

    I cut my beef (roasts, steak, etc) in a Pyrex pan to keep all the juices. I'd be licking that cutting board about now.

    Ironic - I threatened to roll some heads today.

    If your head rolls...what can you tell me about NIST 800-53 and the RMF process? I think I'm about to have an opening...
