Serenity Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Today was Anne's last day for RTB Pro Tips for this week. She is planning to be back Monday, after going on a trip to work with and evaluate puppies. They weren't sure if there would be a stream on Monday, which is Memorial Day. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found out that the company they hired to do the changes is a small operation, that the senior tech that did the actual changes went on vacation until tomorrow, and nobody at the company wants to touch his work lest they make things worse. If that is their internal policy, I’m thinking it should be yours also! Don’t touch someone else’s work. It is also an instance where Rule 45 needs to be applied to that senior tech. Rule 45 Clean up the mess that you make. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarah Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone. I'm off for a few days of travel, canoeing, and touristy things. Whatever your plans are, stay safe. 2 hours ago, Serenity said: Today was Anne's last day for RTB Pro Tips for this week.

Being a National Holiday, the company will be closed for the day. Take that into account if you're ordering or trying to reach customer service. 4 hours ago, Cygnwulf said: They definately got the two people at the same table ignoring each other for their phones part right......

Green Eyed Monsty Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Business in Milwaukee. Somehow, "The Soup That Made Milwaukee Famous" just doesn't quite have the same ring as the original advertising slogan. GEM 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGP Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) Maybe soup was what they were trying for 4000 years ago when they invented beer. 4 hours ago, Green Eyed Monsty said: That's actually landing gear. The car has wings. I see it now. Those could be wings. It also better explains the goggles, headgear, and radio headsets both ladies are wearing. Which begs the question: “if this is the future! where is my flying car !!” Edited May 24 by TGP 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"20 years from now", which is what they have been saying for circa 70 years now. GEM I have concluded anytime somebody uses "20 years" as a measurement of when something is going to happen, they haven't a clue. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know I have been observing the "20 years" "prediction" for circa 50 years as an adult, and I have yet to see one of these "predictions"pan out in anything close to the guesstimated time. Case in point; practical and Commercial Scale Fusion Reactors. The physics and the development of the necessary engineering technologies to contain a miniscule chunk of Star Matter and use it as a handy power source have proven to be more complex and difficult than first estimated, and the research into the matter kept on discovering more and more complex problems for decades. We are at the point where a fusion reaction may be sustained for a fraction of a second, and this is at a laboratory scale using many millions of dollars of highly technical equipment.

Oh that is definitely my policy, especially when it comes to customer owned networks. It does, however, cause friction with customers who can't/won't understand. 58 minutes ago, TGP said: How long has @buglips*the*goblin been teaching Goblin Math?

Pegazus Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Still 20 years from landing someone on Mars, too. Started my career on that. Been 27 years now. Then made the move to Colorado because “Mars, gonna go”. Then not. Been 16 years from then. Now they awarded a lunar lander that eventually, maybe, will provide experience for someone to go to Mars. In, like, 10-15 (read as 20) years. Guess what job I ain’t even going to apply to? I do NOT want my entire career to have been almost entirely “going to Mars, George, we going to Mars”. Feels like a Warner Bros cartoon to keep chasing that. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to trot out triskaidekaphobia. Not many people know the name, even if they know of the phobia. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
