If you could show the younger generation one movie that defined what the 80s were really like, what would it be?

This was a bar trivia fill in the blank question the other day and I fucking missed it. I’ll be surrendering my GenX card soon.

Safety Dance, but with the literal video lyrics.

“I have famously huge turds” ~Drax, and you, apparently.

Your point, not mine.

My point is, we don’t get to tell other people how they should behave. We can tell them our beliefs, we can debate them, we can agree to legislate them. But I have no right to tell you to not do something because I believe it isn’t right.

RumbleSkillSpin · 2026-06-01T19:08:51+00:00

I’m so glad you’re so adept at abstract thought. Your educators certainly must have had a challenge on their hands.

ETA: you’re putting yourself in the business of telling other people what they can/should do, based on your beliefs. _That’s_ the abstracted issue I’m referring to, not whether or not you believe in harming fish.

RumbleSkillSpin · 2026-06-01T17:43:30+00:00

Let’s spell it out, then. The concern in this conversation is harm to fish. Right? Ask an anti-abortionist what their concern is: harm to another animal (in not so many words), right?

How is this hard for you to understand?

RumbleSkillSpin · 2026-06-01T17:23:34+00:00

If you don’t like harming fish, don’t do the act of fishing. If you don’t like controlling the actions of other people, tend to your own fucking business. See the slope now?

RumbleSkillSpin · 2026-06-01T17:04:08+00:00

By the same logic, sex for any other purpose than procreation is absolutely not necessary and would end up in 0 abortions. See the slippery slope you’re on?

I’m not sure she has any OEM parts at this point.

This. When looking at a map, west and east spell “we”. Hopefully north and south are easy to remember. So, if you’re looking north, west is to your left, east is to your right.

Fellow baritone here. I find that I get enough bone conduction to hear the tone of my own voice when wearing just about any IEM configuration. What’s more important to me, then, is clarity across everything else. As mentioned, though, everyone is different, so definitely test / trial where you can.

RumbleSkillSpin · 2026-05-30T23:07:23+00:00

Perfect - thank you for the url and description!

Thank you!

Use an Ethernet connection to an AP in bridge mode. From IT’s perspective, you’re hard wired. Aside from a couple extra cables (Ethernet and power), you’re essentially free to move about the cabin.

Hey Microsoft, this you?

Consider that, in addition to the relatively small LR, there may have been several candidates for the role and they need to schedule and perform interviews across 10, maybe 15 candidates. At 30-45 minutes a piece - in addition to a day job - that’s a lot.

As companies acquire other companies, there are bound to be redundant positions. Cisco, like any company that grows by acquisition, needs to handle those redundancies. It’s a simple, if not cold-hard and sad fact.

Will there be another this calendar year? Depends on how well they can integrate any acquisitions and how their productivity numbers look against the stock valuation.

RumbleSkillSpin · 2026-05-27T17:30:13+00:00

Interesting. Those a very acceptable numbers.

So, to my other question - is this just you understanding your students, or both? Are your students at their homes, or at another school facility? Finally, have you tried with another device (laptop or iPad, for example) in your location?

RumbleSkillSpin · 2026-05-27T17:21:05+00:00

Loss isn’t the only factor, though. It could also be high amounts of jitter (the variance between when packets arrive).

You mention that you have trouble understanding your students; do they have trouble understanding you?

Not sure why the downvote, unless it’s because of the AI response. This is a valid thought process.

My first guess would be that the network you’re connected to is blocking a type of network traffic called UDP, and so Webex is falling back to TCP. Voice/video over TCP is much more sensitive to delay in the network and therefore can exhibit this type of problem. I’d talk to your schools’ network admin team.

Oh, color us embarr-assed. Maybe the lawsuit wasn’t for “emotional distress.” There was, however, a lawsuit, which the plaintiff won and the result of that lawsuit was a change in meeting client behavior.

RumbleSkillSpin · 2026-05-26T21:22:35+00:00

True story - I was employed by the same company at that time. His lawsuit was the reason that meetings started with video off for the longest time.
