Lololololololol. No, they do not. I support a product that gets updated roughly quarterly, and the number of times people complain about their vulnerability scanner finding something when they’re on a 4 year old version is too damn high.

That’s how I am with the bat out of hell album… Get off my lawn.

I mean, that doesn’t rule anything out…

Every day and everyday mean different things, so maybe not the best example.

Please tell me why

Flying is easy. It’s surviving the landing that’s difficult.

Also the basis of quantum immortality…

And everybody clapped.

But you repeat yourself…

Almost 50 here, and I’m pretty thoroughly socialist… and my dad is leaning farther left the older he gets too.

As a teenager, I would record the audio from movies onto cassettes, then listen to them on long bike rides. Damn near wore out MASH and Coming to America.

There’s dozens of us! Actually I couldn’t scrounge together enough floppies, but eventually somehow came across a CD-ROM, probably from someone at school… And I was a bit later, more like '96 maybe…

Getting bent over and fucked from behind isn’t exclusive to homosexual men… And regardless, nobody is saying that’s bad, if you’re into it, go crazy. Most people get the hint that the picture represents unwanted sex, which I hope we can agree is bad regardless of your orientation.

I can make Bluetooth work under Linux, but not windows server 2016…

That has as much to do with installing the os yourself vs buying a machine with the os preinstalled… I’ve had plenty of machines where some part or other doesn’t work well or at all because they need drivers that aren’t available for whatever reason…

Normal Windows updates don’t take an hour

Correct. But who can tell the difference beforehand between a normal update and an abnormal one? The problem is Windows tends to hide those details. I’ve sat on support calls where a server needs to be rebooted for some configuration change, and Windows insists on applying updates because hey, you’re rebooting anyway, so what if it takes 1/2 hour to do this thing that should take 5 minutes…

It’s not?

That’s how my employer does it…

Tldr.

There is something between doing absolutely nothing, and working your ass off to make someone else rich. Most of us want that middle ground.

I slack. Oh boy do I slack. I’d work so harder if I thought I would actually get something for it. In fact, when I started my latest job, I was doing just that, because it seemed this company was different, and it’s something I’m naturally good at. Got commended by my boss about how much I was doing, how quickly I was learning, how in a year I had already surpassed the next most recent hire that had been there for 2 years… Then time came for my review, and it was a “meets expectations”. Like wtf do I have to do to exceed expectations? Then not long after, they started denying me time off, saying I had taken too much. Supposedly we had unlimited PTO, of which I had taken 2 weeks so far that year (1 week in March, the rest just single days here and there), and my request was for a week in July… Anywho long story short, I’ve pretty much figured out exactly how much I have to fake being busy to not get negative attention, and I do that. I milk cases for all they’re worth. And I’m still getting more done than half my colleagues. I hate it, but it pays decently, so I have a hard time throwing it away for something that might be more fulfilling, but doesn’t pay as well…
