Do you think it’s Oreseur, or Tensoon?

I’ve seen that exact scene in Atlanta trying to get to Alpharetta from 75 S by 675.

I personally know someone who totaled 4 cars before turning 18. He literally treated the gas as an on/off switch.

So people that bad at driving are out there.

Truth be told, drivers here in the US are TOTALLY untrained for the most part. My oldest is currently in driver’s Ed and it is a joke, in regards to actually how to drive a car. I have spent a lot of time training him as I have a long history taking racing and advanced driving courses. I’ve held SCCA and FIA racing licenses and I have taken some courses that are usually reserved for police officers The only problem is I do not feel that I’m a very good teacher for him. But he has picked up some things, even if he isn’t up for threshold or trail braking.

I get that this is the Internet.

But how about this one time, we all converse as adults.

How does that sound?

An adult response would have been:

“Virtually all European universities require a Masters to attain a PhD.”

This is Lemmy and not Reddit after all.

Someone should have told my wife’s program that.

But I can understand how that would happen.

Today she’s looking to stress cells in a lab to promote a mis-folded protein response that mimics how it happens in the body. At least that’s how far my IT guy understanding goes. She’s found herself running a BSL 3 lab working with nasty micro organisms and that is not her field. It’s just the path her research lead he down.

Where do you need a Masters to attain a PhD? Honest question, I just never heard of it before.

My wife attained her MD/PhD from the University of Chicago/Pritzker and does not have a Masters. She’s on the MD/PhD committee for her university and they do not require anything other than a BS in the field of study.

With that said, it probably isn’t much of a stretch to just get a Masters in the way to a PhD.

Me? I’m depriving some poor village of its idiot. I have a BS and that’s it.

Former Skydiver here.

At least for the Skydiving community… Skydivers are not better, nor are they worse than the general public.

What skydivers are… is different. Your average jumper will not experience fear on an average jump. I’ve actually fallen asleep on the way to altitude. There are things that can scare us though, usually when we’re in the plane. I’ve experienced two bailouts (both from the same plane), one crash (fuel starvation on climb out), and multiple rejected take offs. All of those events gave everyone aboard those planes a good dose of fear, including me.

We all still jumped the very next time we could, even after the crash.

As I said… Skydivers are just a bit different, but we still experience fear.

Why did I quit skydiving? I got bored. Yes, literally. Made a skydive, it went perfectly with people I was good friends with, got to the ground and started daisy chaining my main and realized… I just didn’t feel anything any longer. Felt it was better to leave the sport than to try increasingly crazier things to find that feeling again. I know people that did that and it usually doesn’t end well.

I’ve been running Proxmox for about 5 years now. Just stood up my second box, after retiring a very old HP Workstation.

It has been a great learning experience as I’m not really all that knowledgeable about Linux. Proxmox itself is rock solid stable. In all the time I’ve run it, I have not had a Proxmox caused issue (no, they’ve been all my fault). When I upgraded my house internet to 300Mbs/300Mbs, which my old Unifi Security Gateway could not support, I started looking for other solutions. Ubiquiti certainly had products that would fit the bill and I nearly pulled the trigger on a Dream Machine Pro, but I took a different route.

Going on Ebay, I bought a 4 port server NIC. Downloaded PFSense and installed it in a Proxmox VM. It was not the easiest thing to do, but Negate actually has a guide to do just that. My house has been running on that VM ever since. When I stood up the new server (actually a Dell Workstation with ECC memory), I just restored the backup of the VM to the new box and everything was back up and running. I do keep my old USG just in case of course. You always keep a backup.

I also run Unifi controller, Plex, SMB server, Homeseer HS4, and a few other things. I’ve even had a fully registered Windows 10 VM at one time. Also keep a container, or full VM of various things that I’m trying to learn about.
