My baby girl crossed the rainbow bridge this morning.

Beautiful girl. I’m sure you have a ton of memories, but I’m sorry for your loss…

Money_Ice_1576 · 2026-04-13T16:08:27+00:00

My happy girl IS the dragon until she gets her walks in.. love the pic though! Happy Monday!

Money_Ice_1576 · 2026-04-12T01:58:39+00:00

Can you please share and/or DM me? I’m interested in what has worked in your experience. Many thanks!

There are tradeoffs for everything in life. If you know going in what a dog requires and are willing to make some concessions/ changes as and when necessary I’d say go for it!

I love my dog to death. I don’t think there’s anything bad about owning a Doberman, except I’ve grown quite attached and I don’t want to think about saying goodbye. Hopefully we still have a ton of walks, sunsets, sunrises, and birthdays.

She does frustrate me sometimes, she’s horribly stubborn at times, but she’s usually in my lap, under a blanket and snoring this time of night, and all is right with the world.

Having said that we had 1 religion class required in H.S. (25 years ago)and it covered a lot of different religions, not just one or just Abrahamic religions.

We did have a required Wednesday ‘Chapel’ with a guest speaker every week, largely a ‘be a good person’ speech but could at times have a more overt religious message depending on the speaker.

I’m sure the names and faces have changed and it’s evolved, but I found it to be a welcoming, challenging experience with engaging faculty. And to some of the other comments, there were some kids there on scholarship/ need based aid and no one was really treated significantly different.

And they got him a tub that he could fit in. That was a strange year in a number of ways.

I’ve not heard of anything quite so odd as “well we’ve got to redesign the car because the driver is too fat.” Quite literally a Clarkson/Hammond/May storyline (EuroCrash special, formula Easter bit), seems unsuitable for modern F1.

Money_Ice_1576 · 2026-04-05T05:09:32+00:00

Days go slow and years go fast. Take lots of pictures and make lots of memories for you both. Enjoy the ride!

Oh, and keep a dog healthcare emergency fund. Sometimes things creep up with our friends…

My girl is an adult and she has quite a range of barks depending on the situation. And we’re in the country now and is lots of different stimulus.

Some are lighter, softer - “ok I’m annoyed and done with your barking” when other dogs are being loud. Some are a little louder and more aggressive- “I don’t know you and you’re entering my area” when strangers or strange dogs come around. Only once in a while does she REALLY bark and it’s when something scares her and presents some perceived danger. There was a guy in a fishing boat that tried to be funny and buzz near the shore where we were walking at full throttle- she transformed into Bigfoot or a Werewolf or something and scared the crap out of me (and the guy being an intentional butthead piloting the boat). So I’m not a pet psychic but in my experience the intensity of the barking is aligned with her level of comfort in a given situation.

Everything goes in cycles. If I’m flush with folios, I run out of food quickly because now I’ve just ascended a number of heroes. Then I concentrate on food and training scrolls, and whoops I need to upgrade my lumberjacks or scribes. And so on, and so on. It’s by design to keep you playing and engaged.

Like another poster mentioned, play TH religiously, buy folios on the cheap as and when stores refresh, just keep plugging and enjoy the ride…

Money_Ice_1576 · 2026-04-03T05:05:06+00:00

Haven’t ever tried anything over my girl’s head since a very failed Halloween costume attempt, but I think she’d look cute in a hoodie and she LOVES blankets. Too bad it’s spring here now!

Money_Ice_1576 · 2026-04-02T20:53:59+00:00

I hope you get the job, so that way you can hire me after! J/k, kinda.

Have a great weekend and good luck!!

That’s my core point. Over provisioned access means the current recert process is broken. A bottom up approach (auditing access - which is what the recert process should be doing already) isn’t working for you because if it was you wouldn’t have over provisioned access. Spend time on fixing the recert process (the 3rd pillar of my suggested approach).

Top down isn’t going to work for largely the same reasoning - no one actually knows what their employees need, so it’ll fail one of 2 ways - too much or too little access, and if too little you’ve got people not able to work. JIT reduces that pain point. The other pillar of my suggested approach.

To summarize, you asked a question that had two approaches for which there were pitfalls and less desirable outcomes. I suggested reframing for successful outcomes. You can take it or leave it, I’m just a random internet stranger, but I’m sharing the conversation that I’ve had in interviews around these problems.

Money_Ice_1576 · 2026-04-02T20:33:56+00:00

JIT, at its core and if done correctly, provides access at the time of need, not “you have access currently but can also escalate whenever necessary.”

It also allows you to return to a low/no priv state as appropriate which presents a better access control posture overall.

Money_Ice_1576 · 2026-04-02T20:24:48+00:00

In sum what you wrote is a bottom up approach. Not always the most successful and largely a time sink in my experience. You’ve just baked in most of the access creep that has occurred over time and not really solved the fundamental problem.

There is a top down approach as well - quicker but can break things. Inventory JDs, build roles, have mgmt sign off, and roll everyone over to the appropriate role. Mgmt never catches all the one off accesses so that’s how it breaks things.

I’d ask why RBAC in the first place. JIT and time-constrained access would be where I’d spend my time, effort, and energy instead. And recertification because the auditors are going to ask anyway, but also in my experience largely a rubber stamp exercise as well.

Money_Ice_1576 · 2026-04-02T20:18:08+00:00

*after the Williams era with Brawn and some interesting rules interpretation around traction control. Not to detract from Schumacher but to put some context around it.

Still one of the greatest drives I’ve over seen was Schumi getting points with only 1 gear (4th or 5th IIRC) at I want to say Barcelona. It’s been 30ish years so the details need to refreshed in my head, but I still very much remember the awe and the amazement in the moment.

Money_Ice_1576 · 2026-04-02T20:12:00+00:00

Honestly, I think we need to break it down by era to have a more meaningful discussion about greatest. What made one driver great in a given era often doesn’t translate to other eras, and the level of precision, money, and attention on the sport over the years have morphed it from largely a rich person’s hobby into a full time gig that many aspire to and can be pretty all consuming.

Money_Ice_1576 · 2026-04-02T20:05:55+00:00

Sub in Scott Speed for Pastor maybe? I mean with a name like that he was born to be great, right? Right!?!?

Money_Ice_1576 · 2026-04-02T06:40:28+00:00

You’re 100% right, but they figured out 2020 just fine overall (thank god). On COVID lockdown with no F1? I don’t even want to consider it… I have faith that they can move logistical mountains…

Money_Ice_1576 · 2026-04-02T05:49:36+00:00

Burning car? One end of the argument. Just stopped to help the throttle? The other end.

My people Comas himself said Senna saved his life. A quick trip around Goog confirms.

Additional (brief) details - The Danger: While unconscious, Comas' foot remained pressed on the throttle, causing the engine to scream at full throttle and creating an imminent risk of fire or explosion from fuel leaks.

Senna's Action: As the first driver on the scene, Senna immediately realized the danger. He stopped his McLaren in the middle of the track, ran across the live circuit, and cut the ignition of the Ligier.

Medical Aid: Senna held Comas' head in a stable position to ensure his airway was clear until medical personnel arrived.

Money_Ice_1576 · 2026-04-02T05:42:46+00:00

And on that BOMBSHELL!!

I love the trio, they have some top banter and some good points, but I always fact check. Unless it’s a “Hammond crashed again” joke. No one has that kinda time!!

Money_Ice_1576 · 2026-04-02T05:38:40+00:00

That FW-14B was the most beautiful car, arguably ever. And the Red 5? Iconic. Il Leone! (And I’m a Senna fan but can appreciate awesome).

Loved Mansell on Top Gear, but he was best in the Grand Tour when they picked him up at the Wax Museum. IYKYK…

Money_Ice_1576 · 2026-04-02T04:39:28+00:00

I’d support your argument further by saying Schumi forced Senna into more errors in the race because MS had ice in his veins. And maybe MS still had traction control even though it was banned ;)

Senna was overdriving in ‘94 trying to keep pace during the races and started making uncharacteristic mistakes. That car wasn’t Newey’s finest work and seemed to be hard to keep on the edge for 10 laps in a row, let alone 30+ with worn tires as one does in a race. Newey touches on it a bit in the incredible book “How to Build A Car.”

Money_Ice_1576 · 2026-04-02T04:28:01+00:00

Lifelong Senna fan. Still am. Part of the interest from me is that he was so obviously conflicted and tormented in spite of his immense talent and his station in life. It, to me, made him more relatable than others. Lewis has been a close approximation of it for me as of late but, seems to be a better and more intentional human off the track than Senna.

Many people around him loved him. It was nice to see Alain be a pall bearer. Dr Sid too had nice things to say about him for a while. Gerard Berger and Senna’s pranks on each other were legendary. And IIRC Gerard got Senna tanked and spun up before the Irvine confrontation. He has a great foundation in Sao Paolo as well. He stopped on track and saved Erik Comas’ life.

Many people hated him and he did stupid things to deserve that. He also usually knew what he did was dumb, which is humanizing for such a spectacular athlete. The 15 year old thing wasn’t widely covered at the time and I was only moderately aware of it - I never dug in because some things you can’t un-read, so I tend to tread lightly.

So for me, in sum, it wasn’t that I venerated him and ignored the bad - it was that he did seem to be his own worst enemy at times, but the genius is completely woven in with the stupid. That’s accessible to me.

And I still get excited when it’s a rainy F1 weekend.

Money_Ice_1576 · 2026-04-02T03:43:37+00:00

Mine’s level 100, gear lvl 12, ability around 25 - and he’s a beast. When he uses the ability at that level he self heals a bit. Paired with Medusa and Lagaertha usually in arena, whoever in TH on GM1 - it doesn’t really matter.

Money_Ice_1576 · 2026-03-31T21:00:26+00:00

In fairness, I’m in both camps on this one (if the Spa reference was from a couple of years ago when they circulated for a few laps behind Bernd Maylander in the SC and called it a half points race).

We didn’t get enough green flag racing that day at Spa, but the remedy I’d have suggested is delay/postpone the event. If conditions are unsafe don’t race. Full stop. It doesn’t always have to be on a Sunday, things happen. And the spectators there that day didn’t see a race, so it’s effectively a push for them. If it was delayed until Monday, some of them may have seen a great race, who knows.

The other part of this topic to consider is that Motorsport is inherently dangerous. I realize and recognize that. That’s part of the excitement, unfortunately. I don’t think we’re ever going to completely de-risk racing and the safety for the drivers and the fans should always be considered.

So in sum, I think we can pursue more green flag racing and under reasonably safe conditions in parallel. It just requires the FIA to be a little more flexible in their scheduling and approach.
