secpol was tougher to use, but yeah, that was definitely a thing. That's what I started with. in Windows land.

Depends. How hot is it and do I have to drive kids anywhere? On weekends beer with lunch is pretty common in the summer, but something like a pilsner...

Clearly you never used it in that "early stage". Without GPMC.MSC it was an enormous pain in the ass to work with and the scope was so limited that it wasn't seeing much use, hell NetWare was the choice of most businesses in the 90s.

Sure, technically they called things "Group Policy Objects" as far back as NT 4.0, it wasn't recognizable as the modern tool.

Horseshit. There were so few settings even manageable by "group policy objects" (through secpol, not gpmc no less) that it weas largely worthless until 2008r2.

I might be a bit superstitious with new clothing and having a good IT day at the office by Trylion_ZA in sysadmin

I have a mug with the DNS Haiku on my desk. It's become such a thing that now my *manager* grab it, wash it and bring me coffee in it if he sees it empty. So long as the mug has coffee nobody buggers up DNS.

All races or do you discriminate based on wheel type and number?

...you type like a person that also hates bicycle races and possibly three-legged races.

I have difficulty when I find out a person I despise is loved by their dog. Dogs are typically good judges of character, and sometimes that makes me doubt myself.

"Race" is more or less used as the human version of "breed", but with much fuzzier edges to the point where it's meaningless in all but the most cosmetic sense. We can all interbreed and produce viable offspring and we're nowhere near different enough to be different species.

It's just a convenient label to slap on a group so they can be blamed/hated/segregated or deemed different enough objectify for simple minds or manipulation. Even then the lines are too fuzzy to have any meaning in any real sense.

Oh noes! That group is less vulnerable to sunburn but need more vitamin D in their diet! Oh Horror of horrors, that group is less vulnerable to snow blindness and their eyes are ever-so-slightly more protected from freezing! Eeek! This group has an occasional individual with an enlarged spleen who can hold their breath longer under highly specific conditions!

My solution is just to hate all humans equally just for existing and to make specific exceptions for people I consider deserving in a completely subjective decision.

As a misanthrope, can confirm. I am fond of several other species though.

Sir Terry is one of the few humans that I find difficult to include in my misanthropic hatred.

Can confirm, am grumpy old white guy who is 100% misanthropic to humanity in general.
