Did that seem excessively rough? I got a bit of a stomach bug that gave me the ass squirts all morning, so I had a little too much time to myself while on the shitter. Sorry if I went too hard, I was actually just trying to razz you a bit.
But for real man, lead with the alphabet soup first, then follow with the experience. To anyone without a technical background, a cert just means your company paid for you to go to Vegas and spend a week at a luxury hotel.

I know in the network and IT nerd arguments that you like to drag out the alphabet certs to wow each other with your, “I’m so smart” mic drops, but you should really lead with CCIE next time. And THEN follow up with the amount of on hands experience as your big finish rather than doing it the other way around. The problem is that laymen are going to look at the CCIE and think “wow you got a certificate, whooptydoo”. Most people are going to be much more impressed with the thousands of hours of experience over a certificate. I mean, you are already battling hard against the whole extreme pedantry, “douche bag dropping into a laymen’s conversation to brag about how much he knows and schooling everyone on how they are using the terms wrong” thing you are trying to do, so if you are going to try to impress us with how smart you are, you gotta cater to your audience better.

Ahhh, I get it now. You are very knowledgeable in one fringe aspect of networking, so that makes you an expert in all things network related.
I’m sorry dude, normally I am down for a pedantic argument about nonsense with a self proclaimed expert, but I just don’t have the bandwidth this week. Maybe next time.

Then you would still have a token ring configuration, because that is not home Ethernet works.
Although you wouldn’t have to worry as much about high winds, so it would have some advantages, but I still wouldn’t recommend it.

I wasn’t talking about the protocol, I was talking about the topography. Each station is dependent upon the station before it. So much like an old fashioned string of Christmas lights, if one bulb dies the whole string goes dark.

Be glad you never had to suffer through the hell that is token ring. And given how awful it truly is, I am surprised that they have decided to recreate it wirelessly. I understand why (the why is money, it’s always money) but you would have thought they would have learned their lesson.

Yup, that is a wireless token ring.
I get how much cheaper it would be to install, but the maintenance has to be outrageous. But I guess ongoing costs are easier for them to budget.

So, more like a token ring? And mesh would be like Ethernet?
I wonder how resilient the system is… It would seem like all it would take is one pole being tilted by high winds, or a car wreck to take down the entire network.

Token ring != Tolkien ring. Tolkien rings are much more reliable than token rings, as long as you manage your hobbit infestations.

The real answer.
“Google it”… I wish… Kids these days have no idea how easy they have it.

So, you were not only protecting yourself from the heat, but also waxing the slide? Holy shit dude. That’s genius… and if your slides were anything close to the 7-8 ft death traps near where I lived, then it was also completely fucking insane. I never even met your grandma and now I miss her too, she must have been hell on wheels in her youth.

Good to know. Thanks.

The completely useless error messages kill me. And the commands that don’t do what they say… WTF is the point in “clean” and “force” if they don’t clean or force? And then there’s the inconsistency in command arguments. With one you have to use force, even though it doesn’t actually force, and the other you have to use “hard”. Hard? I mean I guess hard makes sense once you realize that force doesn’t actually mean force. Now I’m just waiting to run across the switch “–seriouslyguysimeanitthistime”.

OMG, I can’t up vote this thread enough… git is such a purposefully exclusionary step in software development that I can’t believe it is the preferred solution. It is very powerful, but it is painfully obvious that no one has ever gone back and said, “but what if anyone else who wants to use this is not a Linux cli guru and already has an expert understanding of git commands?”. Why is it that learning to check in code is significantly harder than learning the actual IDEs that the devel uses to develop the code?

What is the advantage of rebasing?

That’s funny because I find that i usually feel like I am about to die and need a shower, 5 gallons of drinking water, and a nap to recover. I’m guessing that where you live that it’s it’s not 35C/95F and 95% humidity for 4 months of the year?

That’s nice to hear, because my 2021 can’t Remote start without paying for the subscription. Most aggregating part is that if I had gotten the base model I could have added Remote start cheap, but because it came with Remote start already on it, it’s tough shit.

Wait until you hit the “feeling shitty and ruining your entire day by sleeping too long” stage. Its a really fucking treat… At some point, you’ll realize you can cheat by getting up and then taking a nap or 2 later (not too long though, they have to be short naps). But then you will slowly enter the next stage which is “I can lose consciousness during the day at any point, and often do involuntarily, but once the clock hits 8pm, I am wide fucking awake and likely to stay that way until 5am.”

I can’t emphasize how much this is the answer. Document your annoyances, document other peoples complaints, document the times you have tried discussing it it with him, and document how he responded. Document the fuck out of everything, because if you are his supervisor, this is going to blow up in your face no matter what you do and you need to be building yourself a blast shield asap. This guy is obviously very manipulative and portrays himself as the victim. When the shit finally hits the fan, he is going to sling it everywhere, and as your direct report, it’s going to pile in your lap.
When you take it up the chain, you don’t even have to take it up as a complaint. Ask for help and guidance in a situation that you fear is going to go bad. You have a guy who is a really good worker, but you fear his antics are going to run off other employees, or even worse, result in HR complaints.

Elon is not playing 5d chess. He can’t even play 1d connect the dots. The Saudi’s have good reasons to save his ass though. By enabling him to buy Twitter, at best they get control of a worldwide propaganda platform, at worst they only spent 22Billion to kill a universally known communication platform that is a thorn in every totalitarian regime in the world. In addition, they gain they some control over the richest man in the US.

My auto insurance covers tows up to 200 miles, so you need to contact them and verify.
The thing is, even if they only cover 50 miles, they will pay the 50, then you only pay the extra, so I would get some quotes. If you have AAA, then like others said, they never check for id… but I understand why you don't want to worry about risking it, so just drive out there and then call AAA and tell them you were driving their car. Then drive them home in your car while AAA tows thiers.
