Fun fact. When Captain Vancouver sailed up the strait eventually named Juan de fuca, he spotted an aboriginal group in canoes, painted aggressively and paddling furiously. He passed a village, near what was ripple Rock, occupied by another band, soon thereafter.

On the return trip, that village was occupied by the group he saw in the canoes earlier.

Even before Canada was a country, the people occupying it were displacing others.

Of course, the Clovis people may have something to say about displacement as well.

Contracts are contracts.

Can confirm. It feels like it was eleven.

This. 100 times this.

Apparently shower beer is a sublime experience.

If I had this in my college years - impossible since we had no Internet available yet at all - I’d’ve been laughing. Stay home, stay online, and hack all the waking day? BSc in no time.

A dear friend lived near the uni in her home town, and so lived with her mom, rent-free, and just went all-out on coursework. In 3 years she got and paid to receive a BA. She earned enough for a BSc too, but didn’t pay the fee for convocation and so doesn’t have it.

Three years. Wow, would that have been awesome.

This. I barely have a filter as it is!

Coupling healthcare to employment.

Outside of America, this is seen as absurd.

Not discussing pay rate with coworkers/colleagues. I

My day job is Union. Everyone’s rates are well-published. We have less boring things to talk about.

in Australia not everyone faces the door in an elevator.

In NYC it’s illegal not to. It’s a fun law.

Every dependency you don’t update is a zero day waiting to happen. All software carries risk.

In the same breath you’re advocating updating without checking, and saying why that’s an issue. You … realize that, right?

You’re so close to realising the reason enterprise distros do backports.

not updating? That’s a recipe for disaster.

Not blindly updating.

It’s a different thing.

Sure. But don’t call me “500 year old map”. #commaSplice

Is it just booze, or can we start calling him Kush Patel yet?

Wracking?

The whole tech security industry is kind of pathetic.

Open with disdain. Bold move, cotton.

Full of posers who strut around with few skills

Not untrue, but still a bit harsh.

and are unable to think along the lines of making tradeoffs for business results.

Sacrificing security “for business results” ? That doesn’t sound like security. It sounds like anti-security.

How long have you been a project manager? Do you like it ?

You had the phone on Vibrate, didn’t ya?

US$6.05 per USGal this morning at the station 3 blocks away. I WISH for $4/gal.

But it’s higher than it should be for America. And it’s senseless and needless, let’s be clear. I just had to make the joke.

Google “low-hanging fruit”

They’re turning up the boiling pot just a little. This will be handled in escalating increments, if we let them. And if the justice system can pull its head out of its collective, they’ll get their just desserts.

If - and I admit it’s a big one - the country’s on the ball, the dude will be hard-pressed to continue this crime-fighter cosplay with a weapon charge on his record.

We’re at the “jury box” phase, I hope.
