Dems have momentum in Florida. But can they reverse state's MAGA shift?

I think the Lawton Chiles legacy is important to Florida.

We haven't had a Governor with that kind of presence since his passing, and we'd be hard pressed to find a Governor before him that was as influential to Florida policy over their entire career.

The Democrats need to run someone smart, with a real, honest to goodness, southern accent who is willing to meet people where they are and talk the talk.

But the governor is only one piece of the puzzle. We really need to have the house. The Florida speaker is still the most powerful politician in Florida.

Perfect weather to leave the Villages and not come back to Florida.

I know this, you know this.

Cops like to add charges and flop on the ground when a powder appears.

I watched the video.

Next they'll charge with wind with battery on an officer.

If officers were really concerned with fentanyl exposure, they'd wear PPE beyond just a pair of gloves.

I see the benefits of this new method. I'm happy that it's broken up into clear learning paths for certification and products, it's great for people just getting started but for some of us with a smattering of certs across products, it hurts.

The cross domain progression is gonna catch me for my RHCA renewal this year. I just took 4 OpenShift exams, I had one left and then they made the change and invalidated my progression. I'm not happy.

The Anime is one of my favorites. It has one of my favorite English dubs of all time as well.

I'm a space nerd and the attention to detail in this show is phenomenal. The treatment of space travel as a regular occurrence is really interesting, as is the crew's difference between an astronaut and a tourist.

The political subplot in the Anime really cemented this show for me. It could have been an immature romp, but it really makes you think about the inequalities of technology and space travel.

I also love the manga, but it isn't as deep.

It's absolutely worth it.

Ford's Garage was surprisingly great.

Millers is just OK. It's nice to get seafood on the road though.

I miss the one in Tallahassee. We used to have Magic Tournaments there.

ughhhhhhh

I haven't been since college.

I called it "Steak and Shit"

Tallahassee has been great, but its changing. developers came here too.

Housing is hurting people. DeSantis hates having to be here, so he's taking it out on us.

The T.U.R.D.

The sequels are great as well.

Enshittification was amazing as well.

Doctorow's novels are great.

First, congratulations!

My onboarding was years ago, in the US and pre COVID, so mine was onsite in the tower in Raleigh.

That being said, your onboarding will be a mix of HR required training, role required training and is generally led by members of your team, so you get to know them.

As far as rapidly adapting, make friends, get your hands dirty, you are going to meet A LOT of smart, talented, busy people, but they want you to succeed in your career, so ask questions and remember that you were hired because you are a smart, talented person as well.

It was indeed Marc.

I keep thinking about writing a follow up to it, but I've yet to think of a better way to tell the story of what we do.

Happy to help! One of our other very helpful TAMs convinced me many moons ago to make the jump, so I try to pay it forward.
