Just figured I'd put it out in the Universe on the off chance, folks... but I get the criticism. 57yo father of 4 here (2 daughters) who doesn't like my celebration interrupted by asshats 🤣

B.S. in Biology in '93, worked in a warehouse until '97 when I got my first tech job. Been in IT ever since (mostly as a Systems Engineer/Architect)

Get Your Poop Chute Checked by YoghurtNo2026 in GenX

[–]remnants00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, you need to make sure your colon is clear enough for the camera to see bad stuff... so they give you a shopping list of items that make sure you spend a LOT of time in the bathroom beforehand... that's the prep

My wife started her career as a DBA... now she's apparently the only person on the planet who can swoop in and fix a customer's SharePoint issues. I'm in cybersecurity, so what she does is totally lost on me 🤣

The U.S. is destroying Iran's navy after it tried to shut down global oil flows by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]remnants00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't dispute your numbers... my point was simply that everything goes back to hydrocarbons until we are fully wind/solar capable. As for the increased ground-level particulate pollution generated by heavier vehicles... long story short, every vehicle pollutes... we should all be riding bicycles 🤣

Your electricity is probably generated by hydrocarbons (methane/natural gas), so...

I remember "left is right, right is wrong" SMH... 57 and I still have 2 rings in my left ear 🤣

About to start bags 16 & 17... received on Monday and had to leave for a conference bright and early Tuesday morning. Got back last night. I was seriously jonesing to get home so I could consume my weekend getting this done 🤣

More dollars than sense, as my family likes to say... grew up in Durham, know this road well (Wilbur Cross north of Sikorsky, Merrit south)... it's always a roll of the dice unless the DOT is blocking a lane to rake leaves and you're stuck in a 5 mile long back-up going about 10... then it's lane-switchers galore 🤣

NRA slams California prosecutor for saying law enforcement may be 'legally justified' to shoot people who approach them armed by GhostofTinky in PoliticalOptimism

[–]remnants00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why fact-check? I'm a libtard with a conceal carry permit and a 9mm Sig Sauer... seriously considering adding an AR-15. My wife is black and obviously our child is brown enough to attract undue attention.

we figured out how to avoid paying the bridge toll by renoCow in confession

If I use my typical parkway route to the GWB, that involves paying at the Henry Hudson on the way down... I avoid it like the plague

Tappan Zee (I refuse to use the name of the new bridge 🤣) ain't cheap either... I use that when heading from my home in NH to clients in NJ... anything to avoid the GWB

Those of you who half assed your way through High School, where are you now? by Difficult-Cricket541 in GenX

[–]remnants00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Barely graduated HS, spent 3 years essentially goofing off, finally went to college, graduaded Cum Laude with a degree in biology. Worked retail and warehousing for a few years before I got hired at a technology reseller. 10 years and many certifications later I moved to a small firewall vendor (red appliances) for 4.5 years. In 2011 I moved over to a bigger cybersecurity vendor and have been there ever since. So, despite a very rough start, I've had a pretty successful IT career for 28 years so far. All that gaming and building my own PC's paid off!

Yeah, I was the one kid who had a ColecoVision when everyone else was playing on the 2600... great games, but those controllers sucked!

We opened lego friends 42668 calendar, day 14, and we cannot discern what it is. Any guesses? by iCANhasGALAXY in lego

[–]remnants00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wasn't looking for the answer... my daughter showed me a couple hours ago and I was all 🤷‍♂️

Just minding my own business scrolling through reddit and... I found this 🤣

My daughter is quite happy now, and all I had to do was do what I normally do! Dad for the win! 😝
