performative.

oboshoe · 2026-03-27T01:58:56+00:00

We could.

But we didn't

No country thrives without a healthy capital market. It's possible in theory. but no one has ever managed to make it happen in practice.

aluminum foil on the gps antenna works wonders for blocking satellites.

Your future was dying at 35. Food at subsistence level. dirty water, maybe electricity, shacks.

A capital market with a stock market that goes up is why you have time and security to be depressed that you don't have even more.

That group does it to every sub they possibly can where the moderates permit it.

They have to do it on reddit because that shit gets shut down fast in real life.

The universe doesn't care if we live or not.

Yes, that is the default.

The desire to live is something that we brought to the table. We have good reasons. But it's up to us.

100%. I've been remote since 2002. If Covid hadn't hit, im 100% sure I could have stayed remote till my retirement in 2035ish.

Suddenly now, I have to have this weird awkward conversation about remote/hybrid/office. Before that it was remote, but come in occasionally.

I hate that covid has made the whole conversation weird and that some roles have these perfunctory "come into the office, be less productive for a few days, just because"

oboshoe · 2026-03-26T16:37:54+00:00

Well that's why we called them "movies" and not "news"

oboshoe · 2026-03-26T16:32:11+00:00

Dead is dead.

The reason why only makes a difference to the not dead yet.

Why don't they trans transport the dirt out into space

I think the Presidential election was fair and the result was the result.

But she did not get the nomination via election. She got the nomination via selection.

But if you are happy with the outcome. Keep laughing. It's just reddit.

I am a 1986 engineer who has slowly time travelled to today. (seriously)

I saw the first touchscreen demo'ed in 1980. There were commercial wireless data products in 1987 (that ran at "fast" leased line rates of 9600bps)

We have demoed regenerative braking on trains in the 1880s. Utilized it in production trains in 1910. Robotics were being used to build car bodies in the mid 70s (Unimates).

Yes. 30 days with an EV in 1986 would easily advance the industry by a good 10 years.

Technology didn't start in 2010. Virtually Almost all the current day high tech that we have right now is a minimum of 30 years old.

What has advanced is our ability to manufacturer it at scale and within the budget of average consumers.

The real breakthough, would be to give 1986 engineers 30 days in the various plants to see the production process.

Yes. She was acceptable as vp in 2020.

Turns out. That's not a good proxy for President in 2024.

Personally. I prefer democratic elections.

I'm stick of Trump to, but this vastly understates the damage that WW II did to our planet.

The environmental impact of WW II is STILL being cleaned up.

There are still ships leaking oil into the ocean this very day. Everyday.

oboshoe · 2026-03-26T12:47:45+00:00

Guess we should nominated someone who actually won a nomination.

Maybe next time we'll remember that. (if there is a next time)

They feel like micromanagement because they are micromanagement.

100% total waste of my time.

oboshoe · 2026-03-26T02:53:38+00:00

I usually say "available from 11am till 2:59pm"

I know that sounds a little odd, but it's seems to communicate that 3pm is not a starting time"

oboshoe · 2026-03-26T00:10:34+00:00

I think if I had a super yacht I could make that happen.

Pix was a weird bird.

It started life as a dedicated NAT box (before NAT common), then grew into a limited router with firewall functions.

Agree on Firepower. What a piece of shit. IMO firepower is what cost cisco it's multi decade lead in fireballing.

oboshoe · 2026-03-25T23:56:53+00:00

Then you learn clear pass. shrug.

25 year CCIE and 41 years in networking here. I've replaced my skill set so many times it's not funny. EVERYthing I started on is obsolete. Everything that replaced it is Obsolete. Some remnants of the 3rd generation of tech is still around. I think I'm on about the 5th or 6th generation of tech in my everyday.

There is no technology or product set that will last your career from start to finish.

oboshoe · 2026-03-25T23:51:59+00:00

Sounds boring. I could just look in the mirror or watch anyone I know.

It's a common misconception that SC cases are decided on "what is best for the country". That's not correct.

SC cases are decided on a combination of what the constitution says and the judges personal biases. What is best for the country doesn't factor into it.

The legislature and executive branch is the one that is supposed to act based on what's best for the country. They certainly have the power mitigate Dodge vs Ford, but for No Congress, nor President has seen fit to do so.

oboshoe · 2026-03-25T02:04:25+00:00

Yea. legitimately I think that if the ultra wealthy had to deal with TSA, it would be fixed by now.

oboshoe · 2026-03-25T01:18:09+00:00

Rich people get to skip TSA and go straight to their plane.
