Seriously.

Me: I have these medical issues I would like to have checked out. Maybe a blood test would be in order?

Doctor: How many units of alcohol do you consume per sitting, per month, please be specific.

Me: Uh…

Doctor: At what exact time do you poop every day?!?

What I don’t get is why he’s called a democratic socialist and not a social democrat. You know, the widely used term for parties with his kind of politics around the world.

Never seen any of those. Here were mine:

I’m guessing they feel right at home if they also use Facebook/Instagram/TikTok. People think that’s just how the internet is, many don’t understand what a bot even is.

In case someone needs this for their next job interview.

I think it’s neat. It has tons guides and plugins to do pretty much anything. Other solutions can be lacking in documentation. One big plus is the way you can just throw in whatever drives you’ve got laying around and not have to worry about them matching or anything. Is it the best performing? Probably not but it doesn’t need to be. For me it just hosts files and a bunch of fairly lightweight services.

You completely misunderstood my whole argument and instead of thinking about it for a minute, you reacted like many MAGA-cultists would. I’m not surprised since this is how you have been conditioned to react, probably since childhood. Maybe one day it will click with you. Until then, I’m really very happy you are no longer working as a teacher.

With you already being in a cult, you should be able to empathise with these people. They believe what they believe because they’ve been told to. Questioning that comes with consequences from the rest of the cult.

When someone calls you a fucking idiot for worshiping some old storm god from a long dead bronze age religion who has had more “prophets” than most people have had pimples, you know how they feel when you question their delusions.

They are excellent in my experience. Very easy to work with. Had a bad batch of APs that all died on me but that was almost a decade ago and the replacements were just fine. Used a couple of sample devices I got from Meraki (they gave them out for participating in their seminars) and used them until the 2 year license ran out. Now I’m mostly using Mikrotik with RouterOS at home. Way more advanced but also more fun to mess around with.

My pet theory after observing friends and acquaintances growing up into adults (and hearing them speak on the subject) is that such behaviour can coincide with seriously considering suicide, but not going through with it (or failing). This can give a huge rush and sense of renewal, a new life where you don’t have to care about others anymore and are no longer bound by morals. Similar to how I’ve heard incel acquaintances describe being “black pilled”.

I’m guessing we were small enough for it to never be an issue. Only around 100 people. Started on Exchange 2003 so things were pretty routine.

I remember way back when I was solo-sysadmin for a company and the new IT-manager wanted to move everything to O365 and “the cloud”. He claimed it was because of increased stability. My issue with this was that O365 had 13 or something days of downtime that year, while our locally hosted stuff had something like 4-6 hours due to a power failure, at night.

Managed to keep it local until I left. They outsourced the IT-department after that.

I’m tired of helping companies move back and forward between Google Workspace and O365 while pretending I still work in IT.

Meraki is just e-waste without it’s (really expensive) license. I’ve seen cheaper licences floating around on sketchy websites but wouldn’t recommend it.

This happens when the developers are incompetent. The app should probably be avoided as the people making it have no clue what they are doing.

That drinking vessel would likely be called a “glass” or tumbler.

I doubt the boys plastic bin would even meet the definition of a drinking vessel.

Yahweh was always a dude and even had a wife before these new age cultists wrote her out of the story. Typical.

None of the brands I considered when buying a new dishwasher had any spyware nor networking capability. Electrolux and Gram are both excellent and affordable. My last dishwasher was a Gram that I bought second hand for 300€, used for 12 years, and gave to the new tenant of my old apartment because I couldn’t be arsed to remove it. Never had a single issue.

The only thing LG makes that’s of any value are OLED-panels. The TVs they build around them however suck ass now.

I pay for Tidal (afaik the best music streaming service) and keep a tidy vinyl collection. Vinyl because it’s the coziest way to listen to music and my girlfriend likes reading the lyrics from the inserts. CD unfortunately had to go with the last move.

Are you getting paid to do anything IT related? Then you’re an IT professional. I know people have been getting confused about this word because of iPhones and gaming mice, but all it really means is a person who’s a member of a profession.
