      good Morning,
      Coffee and closing tickets .
      /rant
      My boss and I were talking this morning about anything but work - redundant no?
      anyway, He told me and my coworker that "Martial Arts Forms are pointless. they do nothing for you and you're standing there by yourself shadow boxing. Pointless."
      :man_facepalming: It's obvious he's never actually learned/practiced anything with martial arts... How can he manage to tell me - an avid martial arts enthusiast about martial arts?
      /end-rant

        @WrCombs your boss is right, martial arts is pointless. Anthrax is a way more effective means of ending the suffering of your enemies. . .

        Just use it instead of trying to destroy a single person 1 by 1.

        Hi NSA, I'm glad to be on the list

          Ha!
          he didn't mean the system. he meant just the forms were pointless.

            Pointless how? The goal is as a means of exercise and self defense. Are they relatively impractical today from the latter, certainly, bullets/Knifes/Anthrax beats fists every time.

            But they are still a form of exercise that is beneficial

              Because "you're not doing anything. Shadow boxing. "
              Sure weapons will mostly win every time. I'm not bullet proof - and Im pretty sure not immune to anthrax.

              The goal (at least for my system) is to teach you the techniques the first form literally translates to the Little Idea Form because it's the building blocks for the whole system.

              He's never done any real training or much of anything according to him.
              so it makes sense that he's ignorant to the idea that they are actually beneficial.

                  The monthly company meeting as at a pro go-cart track. It was fun, but a couple of us have bruised ribs this morning thanks to the "racing seats".

                  Also, how did those become popular as "gaming chairs"? Makes no sense to me.

                      Probably true.

                      I'll pass, thanks.

                        Niki Lauda passed away today. Guy had a very interesting life. Idk if any of you have seen Rush, but it's a pretty good movie that is in part about him

                            There are other videos floating around out there well, but the IT guy on those isn't as cool as the IT guy talking about Huawei. 😛

                              ripping tracks off an audio CD to MP3, how many years since I last did that????

                              YUCK!!! You didn't want to use a listenable compressed format like FLAC or literally anything but mp3?

                                At some point, I'll do a project where I try to rip and organize my CDs. FLAC will probably be the way I go. The project won't start until I decide how I want to purchase / consume music.

                                  If you have the storage, WAV is obviously a better choice.

                                  I don't always compress audio, but when I do, I use FLAC.

                                          Ah I'm sorry to hear that. Do you at least get paid for your piece being in the exhibit?

                                            @EddieJennings I had all my music ripped as MP3 but re-ripped it a few years ago to FLAC. Took a while but I think it was worth the effort.
