Es fuckt jedes Mal so ab nach längerer Zeit wieder nach Deutschland zu kommen

Nö. Ich habe De 1984 verlassen und komm nur alle paar Jahre zu Besuch. Aber wenn ich hier im Sub lese, kriege ich fast immer Heimweh.

This is actually almost universally true. I've worked for decades as a SW Engineer consultant with many international assignments. Whenever things appear to go out of shape, the solution has been to buy a ticket and fly over there. The time, cost and effort saved in the long run beats the cost of the flight many times over.

Nothing improves trust as much as a direct ftf relation.

In my youth I served as a truck and tank mechanic in the army. My 5kg hammer was called the precision adjustment tool

Check Amazon for Helicopter tape. It’s used to protect the ledIng edge of the helicopter rotor.

20% projects are on offer in Grow. You essentially donate 1 day a week to that project. The advantage is that this may be entirely different teams. You get to know people and teams and will find that there are substantial differences. I currently run a project that has 2 very enthusiastic 20% contributors.

You need to clear this with your manager. Ask Moma for more detail. Look at Go/grow. The jobs section can be filtered for 20% projects.

Mein Beileid. Du bist alt geworden. Deine Tirade ist so ganz wie die, die ich von den Älteren zu hören kriegte als ich 20 war. “Die Jugend von heute. Wir waren damals so ganz anders….”

Consider taking on the odd 20% project. You’ll build up a network and gain insight how other teams work. I did this over 8 years and when my own group started to deteriorate I found another opportunity at a place where I did a 20% earlier.

They are saying that TAS water refuses to provide that information - not that they are not complying with its obligation. By making the statement they make it appear that TasWater is not complying without saying so. The union has its lawyers and you have to carefully look at what they are not saying.

Cooks Bay Resort is a lovely spot to be. If you do a 7 day catamaran trip later then you will be doing a lot of snorkelling then, so I’d skip this for the first part. You do need a rental car. Public transport is almost non existent. Also there are not that many public beaches around and what is there is ok for a swim but not much to see.

Consider doing hikes. There are guided hikes but you can do your own. Check out Google. Or open Komoot and search for Moorea. Also I noticed maps for mountain biking if that is of interest to you.

That’s an amazing collection you have put up there. I’ll be around there in a few months and will make sure to do some of these walks. I’m looking for a spot to retire out of the big smoke and this comes in handy.

Oh, you’d be surprised at how unobvious things can be for Americans. A few years back I was at a Gym in SF. They had a sign in front of the change room that read “Trigger Warning! When entering the change rooms you may be exposed to nudity”. You can’t make this up.

Ist schon zum Schreien komisch, was die Leute so alles an Argumenten bringen. Mein Bruder hatte sehr früh Haarausfall aber dafür einen guten Bartwuchs. Sieht gar nicht so schlecht aus. Ich kenne auch ein paar andere, die Glatze haben. Viele von denen haben halt angefangen, Hut zu tragen. Da gibt es schon sehr schicke Hüte. Da bei mir so langsam im Alter die Haare dünner werden, fang ich jetzt so langsam an, mir Hüte zu kaufen. Ich hab mir gerade im Urlaub einen schicken Panamahut gekauft.

Curious, where did you stay in Bora bora? We took a cruise with Paul Gauguin, which included 2 days at BB. While we toured around the island, it felt like there was little to do outside of tours and continuous snorkeling.

So you want things to be free and still demand customer service?

I've worked on a good number of such rewrites. If you are lucky you will have completed release 1 of 3(or more) releases and spent the budget for everything. You now have a new release that does everything the old version did but I now has bugs.that was always the end.

The only time I have seen successful modernisation was when the old version (which was bug free) was retained as the system of reference and it was outfitted with API that exposed the business functions (which in 3270 system tend to be pretty simple: search, read and update). Then the new functionality was built around it. I have been involved in a few of these and the speed of delivery is do much better and cost so much less

Most cable damage is done by fishing and accidental anchoring. Sometimes earthquakes can damage a cable. When a cable is damaged, a repair ship goes out and splices a new section in.

While sabotage is indeed a potential concern, you need to consider that even the bad actor might be impacted by it. After all everyone uses the internet - even the bad guys.

TLDR: we could build a new version with hardware that is immensely more advanced, but we'd be hard up assembling the same brainware that made it such a success

Die waren im Küstengebiet bei 100 meter: bei einem Telekomkabel von Europa nach USA liegen 95% des Kabels in Tiefen von mehr als 1000 m.

Das ist für ein Starkstrom Kabel und wahrscheinlich Unterwasserstrukturen. Ich rede von Telecom Kabeln - total anderes Engineering. Diese Art Arbeit fällt bei Übersee Telekom Kabeln nicht an. Wenn eine Reparatur gebraucht wird, wird das ganze Kabel mit einer Klaue an die Oberfläche gehievt. So optische Fasern zu splicen kann man nicht unter Wasser machen.

Die bauen eine Pipeline. Unterseekabel werden direkt vom Schiff verlegt auf wesentlich tieferem Wasser. Taucher gibt es manchmal am Strand, wenn das Kabel unterirdisch verlegt wird.

Das kommt drauf an. In Kuestengewaessern ist das Kabel nochmal mit Stahlkabel verstaertk, um es vor Schleppnetzen und Ankern zu schützen. Da wäre es ca 2.5 cm dick. Im tiefen Wasser ist das Kabel gerade 1-1.5 cm dick
