My last job is currently controlling kubernetes with Ansible (configuration management and orchestration) in a hybrid cloud model. The new engineering director likes yaml so they put yaml on his yaml.

That era of Internet history was wild. Between word sex stuff like that and tentacle soup, weird body stuff like goatse and tubgirl, and straight up death like two guys one hammer. It seemed like every third person on the internet was trying to trick you into watching one of those.

Report, block, and move on folks. If the mods want this place to harbor racists then they’ll do nothing. But you did your job.

Yep. A lot of these tech companies that have run in the red for years are now being called on to produce a profit and pay the big backers.

You can’t really cook a person’s rib primal the same way you’d do beef. People meat is not marbled like beef so you’d want to cook it low and slow with a lot of moisture.

So while you could have a people prime rib sandwich, it’s not going to have a great texture.

I can’t argue with that because honestly I was jealous of the folks running it. But they are buying new equipment today and I’m not.

I thought all View Askew was high fantasy.

Same. I have a lot of legacy recording equipment that I won’t replace until it stops working and it’s all mini USB.

I’m just glad I got what I did instead of FireWire.

Until the CIO gets the “telephone game” version of what’s going on.

I’m less concerned about that and more concerned about supervillains building lairs.

Some of us always look like shit.

Goddammit, you brilliant bastard.

is making me get the distro itchy foot.

They make a powder for that.

I prefer funny over accurate.

Except for the <.1% of users who do things like compile their own version of Infinity with their own user agent. They’re still there and not looking at ads.

On average I’m as drunk as the average drunk.

I’ll still take an Uber because I’m an average drunk and I don’t want to be behind the wheel (you don’t want me there either). I’ll walk 10 miles before I take a taxi though.

Apparently, SpaceX has special tactics to stoke his grandiose ego and trick him into giving them the freedom they need.

It’s a tale as old as bosses. Many of them have big egos and think that because they’re in charge that magically gives them expertise. So if you want to do something you either get them looking at something shiny or you make them think it’s their idea.

I had a boss like that ages ago. If I wanted to work on something out of the ordinary I would plant the idea, then a few weeks later I would remind him that he brought it up a while ago. I used the fact that he had a million things going on so he never really remembered who brought it up. I didn’t care that he got the credit because I got to work on cool things and expand my repertoire.

They do it so I’m not as ugly. I apologize.

My MacBook Pro is 10 next year. It still does MacBook stuff last time I checked.
