“My boss says I need something called ‘Wind Skip.’ I don’t know what it’s for; I have a PDF here with instructions. He says we can just download it and run it, but I couldn’t find it. Can you install it for me?”
Imagine being a Trump supporter just because that’s who your team picked and you don’t want to vote for a democrat so you’re just going with it. Then you look around the proverbial room and see these people all around you. If you’re one of those people and frequently feel like maybe you’re the smartest one in the room, perhaps you should start considering whether you’re standing in the right room. I mean, you should’ve considered this a while ago, but still, this would be a good opportunity. There might still be a few out there, who knows. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
All I know is that he’s somebody that a lot of people might characterize as a very intense, crazy motherfucker. The man needed an outlet and found it in Black Flag. I don’t know a whole lot about him as a person aside from the occasional thing like this that pops up, and I think I saw a documentary that featured him not too long ago. Knowing that he struggled with being different and then finding his life’s work in music is my main takeaway.
Orcas are smart. This article suggests it’s not intentional and maybe out of curiosity? Whatever. They figured out how to sink boats without ramming full speed. How much you wanna bet they’re pillaging the sunken ships for food and drinks and stuff. Special little treats that sailboats happen to carry. Or maybe they get pissed off when one of them dumps their lavatory waste or something.

I work in I.T. for a healthcare company. Ascension is a pretty large one. The bigger a company gets and the faster it grows, the more it takes on a diversity of varying technologies that all need to be managed, migrated, killed off, merged, hardened, etc. It’s a difficult job especially for healthcare. I know that the company I work for is working very hard to keep up with things, but it’s a logistical nightmare. You MUST have very smart people in charge that have the right priorities. You have to have information channels open to make sure administration knows what the potential issues are. Compartmentalization of information and access. There are so many potential points of failure it’s insane. And then there’s the most important thing of all: making sure all employees are educated enough that they don’t let their credentials get compromised.
Things are getting worse in general because of how hard it is to stay on top of everything nowadays. I just recently got a couple of letters in the mail about my info being leaked by some companies that had my info. I just have to do my part to stay on top of my own responsibilities, watch my own identity and finances, and make sure those around me are being secure, as well. Everybody needs to know how important this is, and many do, but I don’t think enough people really understand or make it a priority.
HHS is instituting new rules for healthcare (and other industries) to help track and respond to these things. The government is getting very involved with this now. I hope it helps.

A friend of mine who believed a lot of conspiracy theories told me it was bad because it calcifies your pineal gland. I called bullshit and googled it.
Turns out, it actually does. There was no proof at the time that this causes any sort of issues, but there it was. I was unhappy that they were actually right about something; I didn’t want to give them the idea that any of their other crazy ideas had any validity.
We used to have ramp newbies handle the lavs as a sort-of right of passage. The Lav fluids we called “blue juice.” One day I told a newbie to go to maintenance and get a bucket of “red juice.” He disappeared for an hour. We were wondering where the hell he went about when he showed up looking a bit stressed out, actually carrying a bucket of red fluid of some sort. Apparently he started going around the entire airport’s maintenance shops asking them one by one for red juice, none of them knowing what the hell he was talking about. Instead of asking for clarification over the radio he just kept going. Eventually somebody in a completely different concourse poured some hydraulic fluid in the bucket for him. I was a bit astonished and then had to figure out what the hell I was going to do with a bucket of hydraulic fluid.
Saddens me a bit. People like this remind me of my grandpa. He never got a good education and is borderline illiterate, much like a lot of the people you see here. He also falls for similar ways of thinking. I believe that you see a lot of this obvious lack of proficiency in language among these folks because a good education, among other things, helps to immunize you against bullshit. These people never got that, and it makes me feel sorry for them.
Somebody told me once that cigarette paper contains what is basically gunpowder, which is why it burns continually and makes it burn quickly when smoking it. I don’t know if that’s true, but maybe there’s a connection there.
I think a better term to use would be “fact-based policy.” I believe that even if we intended to rework politics to be more scientific, it would just lead to all the same manipulations and twisting of facts that current politics involves. Don’t like a particular scientific consensus because it interferes with your goals? Hire a bunch of “think-tanks” to publish contradictory papers. Hah, guess what, that’s where we already are.
I once met a nun who cursed in front of me when Trump came up in conversation. Maybe she was cool for a nun or something, it’s not like I know a lot of nuns or anything, but somehow I imagine these might be a special weirder breed of nuns or something. What is this picture from—or rather, anybody know who these people are?
I’ve never understood that one. I understand even less now that I’ve written a Powershell script for remote troubleshooting at work. It started simple, but now it gathers tons of information, a lot of which is from the logs. On some machines it takes literal seconds to search and pull all of the log information. I could run this script probably 15 times in the time it takes to even launch Event Viewer.
