@IAMERICAbooted I think it is a good perspective if it takes you to "Always be prepared", but not if it takes you to "The cynics are the only people who care"

@Torch02 That does have somw truth to it. I look at it like this: if that is truly the case, then that would be a blessing, right?

Just in case it's not clear, I talk about my worries of being laid off because of a past event where I was blindsided that made me realize we are all disposable. It has nothing to do with my current job.

"My contention is that prior to the Trojan war, the political structures of the Greek kingdoms, especially in the island territories could most aptly be characterized as... Ofc that's your contention. You're a young aristocrat who just finished listening to some wandering poet, probably that hack from Pylos. You'll be convinced of that until next month when you hear the bard from Sparta. Then you'll be taking about how the kingdoms of Mycenae and Thebes were models of divine rulership back in our grandfathers' time. That will last until next year when you're back to regurgitating Mentor's speeches about the sacred bonds between king and people and the divine right of succession. "Well as a matter of fact I won't because Mentor completely overlooks the importance of... "Mentor completely overlooks the importance of the council of elders in tempering royal authority, especially in matters of inheritance..." you got that from Halitherses' speech at last year's spring festival, right? Yeah, I heard that too. Were you going to plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or is that your thing. You come to a feast, quote some elder, and pawn it off as your own idea to impress Penelope and embarrass my son Telemachus?"

@tatrosmash @randyhackhealth @benhackshealth @vSeanLambert @allyg50 @wehackhealth 5 penalty burpees

@randyhackhealth @benhackshealth @vSeanLambert @allyg50 @wehackhealth Request denied

This all started because @vSeanLambert wanted to improve his 500m row time. Then @allyg50 took me to Spain and somehow I ended up on a rower. Now @tatrosmash is nerding out on rowing form videos and most of the @wehackhealth athletes are onboard. Now I have a rowing machine… Then @RealHughJackman posted himself rowing today. The life of an influencer, ammaright? The algorithm is wild…

RT @benhackshealth: @Torch02 has lost 43 in the past 6 months. Now at a point he has not been in decades….decades of discomfort, frustrat…

@QuinnyPig When you owe AWS $4k, AWS owns you. When you owe AWS $4B, you own AWS

Context:

The NAT Gateway product owner apparently got promoted to pricingthe rest of AWS today.

Dear @zscaler, I understand you are excited about your Agentic SecOps launch event, but how many times are you going to send me the same email about it?

@majornelson Sand does get everywhere...

Gives a new meaning to cleaning up the galaxy

@dilanesper The flip side of this coin is that the Pence rule is way more common (even if it's just implicit rather than explicit) than many Dems realize/admit

a lot of people in relationships are essentially mike pence whether they admit it or not.

I don't think adjusting our clocks twice a year to best maximize daylight is a big deal at all

@EsotericCD Which penalty kicker is the Exocet missile?

If it's still 0-0 after 90 minutes, the match gets settled by naval maneuvers.

People always think about time travel movies, worried that a small change in the past will radically affect the future. Realize that a small change you make in the present can similarly radically affect your future!

Same for most corporations.

Listening to @HackingDave tell @benhackshealth about fixing his RV on the @wehackhealth podcast youtu.be/5W4NFcamRhM

@merill Works on Twitter and Reddit as well - the easiest way to find out the right answer is to confidently declare the wrong answer

This is an awesome tip for all of you early in career and even for those new to a team. How do you get senior folks to answer your questions? Microsoft's Vince Smith shared his hilarious hack and it worked!

ITS A BAD DAY TO BE A COLD BEER, A HOT DOG, OR ENGLAND. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA 🦅🇺🇸

@bendreyfuss Originated in Texas, then has slowly expanded east

I have pretty strong “America hell yeah” credentials but if you had asked me what Buc-ee’s was a month ago I would have said it was a chain of fast casual Italian restaurants. I guess it’s a regional thing but I have never seen this truck stop chain.

Coding is solved. But engineering isn’t.
