Will do that today, thanks for the suggestion.

You don’t need a paid subscription though. Only to see the results of the wordle bot, if you care for that.

I have been watching Newsradio after seeing a very funny clip, which has Joe Rogan as the IT/maintenance guy. He’s not very funny, but I was surprised it was the same guy as I had only ever heard of him as a podcaster.

Which is also why the post cold war world order was doomed to fail. The only remaining super power not choosing the moral high ground severely damaged any prospects at a longer lasting peace.

“Rules for thee but not for me” also has an adverse effect in geopolitics, not only at work, school or any organization.

The equivalent in jets and fighter pilots.

That’s sure what it sounds like. Doesn’t sound very practical, even for reconnaissance, but I suppose it could have some practical application.

I once did something like that to myself. Not satisfied with the tame spiciness of jalapenos on pizza, I decided to put a bhut jolokia (aka ghost pepper) on one. That was a profoundly dumb idea.

I was blinded by the need for spice and suffered twice.

No, not the euro, but China did peg the Yuan to the dollar for years to ensure their exports remained cheap.

China is ok with it because they will insist the Renminbi be used as the brics reserve currency.

I think we decided to play 3 more rounds and then count the points, as the game was still gonna go on for at least another hour otherwise.

That reminds me of the Amadeus bar in Leuven. The owner was notoriously grumpy and curt. I sometimes went there as a student to play board games. One time he seemed very interested as we were playing, as he was looking at the board. We asked him if he wanted to play with and he just went “No, I’m wondering how much longer this game will take so I can kick you out and close.”

Not sure if it’s still open.

That was a fun read! Thanks for that

Your manager can go suck a dick. They are absolutely worth it and worth the out of pocket expense for the exam. The long term benefits (it looks very good on a cv) are absolutely beneficial to your career, not to mention you will learn relevant stuff in the process.

That last statement is absolutely true. My first 5-6 years in IT I kind of languished, because there were very few people around me that made an effort or pushed me to get better or just explained stuff to me. Then I got a call from a recruiter for a system engineer position. While I didn’t get that job, it did lead me to quit my job to go find something better. I then did find an IT system engineer job where I had a great mentor, support and incentives to get IT certificates. I wasn’t there for long due to personal circumstances, but that really launched my career and I’ve been getting better and higher paid jobs since.

I completely forgot I bought that once during a discount, but didn’t even have it installed. Started using it now, thanks.

For personal computing, sure. For enterprise environment, eh not really.

A lot also depends on down ballot races. If the dems won’t have both houses, they will pass jack shit because of the inevitable obstruction to any sane idea by the retard party.

Yea, that mass migration is not something I see happening…

Unix?

I didn’t know that actually. They can still deduce your actual email address from that, but for the identification of the culprit that would work as well.
