did you make sure that you installed adobe reader before you left?

2018-12-29 23:33:42 UTC  

you're not a real IT guy unless you do

2018-12-29 23:33:49 UTC

this was like 20 years ago when I started the job 😃 I dont remember the boring day to day stuff .. I remember the standouts, like payroll servers shooting 10 feet of flame at me (ok it was probably less than a foot of flame but still), oh and learning that HPUX servers didnt do hardware raid, they did software raid ... and the IT director who'd been hired partially due to his HPUX knowledge, didnt know this either when he set up the server (also a payroll server though this was much later than the flamethrower server)

*should prob shut up now, he does work for the largest (albeit multibrand) fast food company on the planet*

hpux, you poor guy

2018-12-30 00:07:11 UTC  

it got replaced 4 years ago .. with a windows / sql server :\

2018-12-30 00:07:27 UTC  

lol

2018-12-30 00:07:38 UTC  

hpux probably ran for 15 years without a problem

2018-12-30 00:07:46 UTC  

let's switch to windows 😃

2018-12-30 00:13:07 UTC  

pretty much, no one really knew how to maintain it properly but it was a lot more stable and faster than what replaced it

2018-12-30 02:39:20 UTC  

Why does Tim practice how he titles his videos like news stand tabloids ?

2018-12-30 02:46:14 UTC  

Habit?

2018-12-30 02:46:19 UTC  

He's a newsie.

2018-12-30 02:49:57 UTC  

A newsie?

2018-12-30 02:51:11 UTC  

I think the practice cheapens his brand.

2018-12-30 03:11:36 UTC  

I think he does a good job of having the title reflect the main point/opinion of the video

2018-12-30 05:56:33 UTC  

Saudi sucks

I think @Timcast really needs to put a lot more thought into his support of the Green New Deal. It just seems like a bad policy to me. Firstly, there seems to be credible evidence emerging all the time that shows that the climate change models exaggerated the extent of the problem. But mostly, I want to point out that it sounds like the most reckless thing that you could do. We already know that no matter what we do, we can only make a trivial difference to whatever climate change is coming, so why risk destroying the entire economy just to make a meaninglessly small impact to the climate? It would be so much smarter to just accept climate change and then improve our emissions slowly. We could spend money on improving infrastructure to better cope with natural disasters and minimise the potential for damage. That would generate actual outcomes. The problem with leftist policies like Obamacare and the New Green Deal is that they seem to be guided by a noble cause but the people who write these policies are clearly more concerned with being able to virtue signal about the policy after the fact, than in making decisions that would lead to the best possible outcomes.

2018-12-30 17:48:52 UTC  

that's fair. America isn't the big problem here. it's developing countries like China and various African Nations. And India maybe

2018-12-30 17:49:36 UTC  

there's still a potential boon to our economy... but trump is already in the process of mending the economy, and a green new deal could destabilize it back into a recession

2018-12-30 17:49:42 UTC  

for all we know

2018-12-30 17:51:52 UTC  

A green deal would do much worse than a recession. Hell, the original New Deal prolonged the depression

2018-12-30 17:52:22 UTC  

ATM, I want to see more economic recovery, a bitchslap to the silicon cartel, and border security.

2018-12-30 17:52:45 UTC  

gotta love major democrats like Obama and Pelosi having walls around their estates when Pelosi says walls are immoral

2018-12-30 17:53:22 UTC  

Yeah I think the economic recovery will speed up once the battle with China advances a bit more. The tariffs will go away (or at least be reduced significantly) and the markets will become less tense

2018-12-30 17:55:34 UTC  

I just don't understand Democrats for allowing their leaders to be so hypocritical. I know people accept this sort of thing all the time in office politics, but that's just people being conniving so they can get a promotion. Why would you actually want to vote for people who might destroy your way of life?

2018-12-30 17:58:00 UTC  

because it's all tribal at this point

2018-12-30 17:58:35 UTC  

ah well, if trump's still in office for a second term, we'll probably have a republican-dominated supreme court at least.

2018-12-30 17:58:57 UTC  

Ruth... I don't want her dead, but I seriously doubt she can handle many more years

2018-12-30 17:59:07 UTC  

and after trump, I'm praying for Ben Shapiro to make pres.

2018-12-30 17:59:36 UTC  

if only to see the look on Cortez's face

2018-12-30 18:03:45 UTC  

Yeah I don't wish Ruth dead either, but I think there's something strange going on there. I spoke to a nurse and she said that the media is lying about Ruth. They're trying to spin it to sound like they only removed nodules from her lungs, but there is no such operation possible. They removed a whole lobe. And the media says that they found no cancer has spread in her body. But its not actually possible to be certain about this. Considering the fact that this is her third time with cancer, I say it doesn't look so good. My theory is that she is getting very weak and wants to retire but people are aggressively pressuring her to keep working in spite of the pain and/or exhaustion

2018-12-30 18:04:14 UTC  

If she doesn't die from cancer, she'll die from the pressure

2018-12-30 18:05:01 UTC  

Ben Shapiro as president is a very interesting idea, and I think he could do great things.

2018-12-30 18:05:18 UTC  

Is "I wish her many happy, healthy decades of retirement." too smartass?

2018-12-30 18:05:31 UTC  

I admit I suspected something was off, but I didn't think they 'lied about the procedure outright
