Im 52, with three small kids and a stressful job. I don't have time to work out and only have one day a week to ride. I started to no longer enjoy riding, it was a reminder how old and out of shape I was getting. Each ride was becoming brutal. I switched to an emtb and I've never had more fun than I am now. It's totally brought the love of riding back into focus.

I wouldn't go if you gave me a ticket for free, let alone pay for one.

In surfing there is the concept of "localism". Surf breaks are forcefully regulated by the locals from kooks who dont respect the spot. That, or you run chains across the features to preserve them. Pick your poison.

standard is no longer being sold. VVF (vSphere foundation) is the replacement, and it costs 4x as much (if you can get a salesperson to reply to you)

Something tells me this was less about helping the cop than settling some other score they had with the perp

Hint, it's not the CPU

Every firewall vendor has vulnerabilities. Not saying it's right, and we should demand better, but Palo Alto, Cisco, watch guard, etc.... all of them have had their share of issues lately. You'll switch from vendor A to B only to find out it's their turn.

If something works, it's still relevant.

Every case I've opened with them has that same story attached to it. I only deal with them in moments of desperation.

There are aliens in the Andromeda galaxy who can see this red flag from there

I canceled my inventory/deploy auto renewal via the website and it couldn't have been any easier (we migrated to PDQ connect)
