I'm glad I was born, if for no other reason than being able to lay my father to rest. He was a good man. I do enjoy life, though, and I work hard to ensure that the world is better because I'm in it.
I chose to not have children of my own because I personally could not give them the life a child deserves, but I admire my friends who did have children and are raising them into kind, compassionate people - The world will belong to their generation someday, afterall.
What's been keeping me going for 20 years is VR. I truly believe we'll see full-dive VR in the next 30 years. I've been watching the progress for decades and the progress is staggering if you look at the big picture. Someday I'll be able to plug into a fantasy universe fully and slay dragons and have epic fantasy adventures. That's worth holding out for.
I haven't seen the r-slur used since the mid 2000s, and now suddenly it's everywhere in the past 2-3 weeks. Why are we back-pedaling on even the most basic decencies?
Just start adding everyone in your field on LinkedIn. I have 1000 contacts on there and only post when I have a lead on a job and want to hook people up, or when someone I know needs to find a job. I posted for a recent college grad the other day and got him 6 interviews in a week.
I was in IT management for a decade. Plenty of my former employees or coworkers still come to me for help when they're job hunting, and I hook them up. That's the purpose of networking and it's standard business practice.
I'm game once bathroom laws take effect. I think we need t-shirts that say something like "Trump wants me in the women's bathroom" to really get the point across. Probably gonna get shot, but fuck it.
Strongly depends on the establishment serving the daiquiri. Some places load it up with booze, others only put in a half shot. There's no standard recipe. Be warned that sugar-heavy drinks like a daiquiri often cause hangovers more easily than non-sugary alcoholic drinks.
You're probably better off just ordering your favorite diet soda or a club soda and a shot of vodka, whiskey, or rum on the side. Mix half of the shot with your drink and see how you feel, then go from there.
It's no different than controlling add-ons via GPO like we did in the old days of on-prem. No extra cost associated.
