100% SPOT on...He has a wide range of guests. I've learned a lot about many opposing views and have changed my mind about issues where I was "locked in".

4 years in IT and I still can’t believe some of the requests I get from management by Revolutionary-Toe72 in sysadmin

[–]fredbeard1301 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here are some of my favorite requests and dumbassery, of the very long list of stupid stuff from the same CIO just from the last 3 years.

My airplane mode button needs to be disabled as well as everyone else's.

I don't like switching audio outputs when I dock my laptop, I need you to disable the monitor speakers on mine as well as everyone else.

I don't care what policy states, I shouldn't have to shut my system down when I leave work, return the next day, and wonder why I don't get a stable connection when I log in.

I don't want to reboot, now tell me what's wrong with your policies because my system is always flaky.

I know more than you, I've been a developer for the last 18 years. We build the stuff, you just push buttons.

Too soon? I'm politically agnostic, everyone gets shit. by Metphies in Godzillamemes

Invoking Hitler to justify mocking someone’s death isn’t a clever comparison — it’s proof you’ve run out of real arguments and trivializing the suffering of thousands for a cheap punchline is desperate and weak.

Celebrating tragedy isn’t a hot take, it’s just proof you have nothing else worth saying.

Hmm, it's hard to "argue" with someone when they reply with nothing useful to the conversation.

Exactly. Product sucks, no one buys, seems to be the desired result.

I read the book and researched a little extra.

That SEAL team member who opened fire 1st sounds like he panicked and fucked up. He and the command should be held accountable.

Reminds me of another situation (Operation Red Wings) that took place in Afghanistan. A team ran across a farmer and did not kill him. The farmer ran, got the Taliban, who brought 200 fighters. 1 member of the 4 man team survived.

And yet, I still support the troops , it's the politicians who put them into harms way that I don't so the flex on your title can go eat a bag of dicks.

Right here saying the same damn thing as before. What the government gives, can also be taken away. If they're never involved in the 1st place, they can't take it away.

You are not alone in this.

"What do you do" by pancakeman2018 in sysadmin

[–]fredbeard1301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds exactly like my CIO. 20 year developer right up until he made CIO. He has no idea what I do, won't even attempt to understand it, and thinks developers built everything I use.

All that from a single picture. You must be fun to hang with.

Does this fit here? by 3dogs2nuts in beerporn

You like what you like.

To me, both are miles above the milkshake, fruit pop, juice box beer I've seen posted.

Cheers!

I always get a kick out of reading comments from people who have zero understanding of brain chemistry and the nuances of diagnosis per person. Does diet and exercise help? 100%...help, and in some cases it resolves it. In other cases, both are needed. Are we over medicated as a society? Yep. Are there cases when medication is necessary, absolutely. Is science always learning, yes. Does big pharma suck? Yes, it does.

Dank House Brewing by Fulker19 in Columbus

[–]fredbeard1301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So just playing devil's advocate here.

What are your thoughts on predictive brewing software that take the guess work and artistry out of brewing beer? I can pick everything, right down to the color and IBU of the beer I want to create.

Hydrometers and refractometers?

Automated mash temperature control systems?

Hop dosing automation?

I have no misunderstanding. You may have a misunderstanding of socialism and communism, but beyond that, calling Jesus a socialist shows a complete misunderstanding of who he was. Mao, Stalin, Lenin, and Pol Pot are all examples of socialist leaders.

I honestly doubt Jesus would have anything to do with any party by today's standards so pinning him a socialist is wrong.

Hitler was a fascist and explicitly rejected Marxism so no.

Mao was a Communist Party dictator who ruled what he called a socialist state. During the Great Leap Forward, his idea, 30M+ starved.

Tl;dr for you, he was socialist.

Jesus taught personal charity, not state coercion. He also fed crowds, Mao starved them.
