I'd be all for required annual checkups, if insurance could never drop a person for a pre-existing condition. So long as I didn't need to pay the doctor to be there for the annual checkup.
Again - healthcare is never free - not even in "free healthcare Europe" as the US media calls it. Taxes. HUGE, very high taxes.
Actually that's partially why their taxes are so reasonable compared to the US. You say things like that they "pay" for their healthcare. Did you look that up? Because European healthcare's up front cost is trivial compared to the cost of it in the US - and they get so much better healthcare that it actually earns them money. Unlike in the US where we pay fo much that it doesn't pay off.
European taxes are high, but no different from the US, but go to so many more things.

You may want to look into it. Taxes aren't that much higher in Europe and definitely not when you compare it to things that you "get" for those taxes that you would pay for in the US out of pocket.
Even in Texas, my US taxes were lower than the taxes would be with the same income in France or Italy (both with dramatically better healthcare than in the US - being ranked #1 and #2 in the world.) You can't call it "so high" of taxes when it's the same as the "low" taxes.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40639140My favorite part of that whole thing is how the mayor and the police department just went through an entire court case that involved body cameras that were mysteriously off at a critical time. Obviously, no lessons learned. Body cameras need to be on 100% of the time, and they mustn't be able to be tampered with by the officers.

bad drive in R5 at a client prompted another to go down during rebuild, thus nuking the array. Second time in a month (different clients). Whats that? Why do I pitch Raid10?

Better question to ask is why do vendors still pitch R5?

Why do you think that's a raid 10 issue? I'm assuming the drives that went down were a part of the same Raid 1?

It was a RAID 5 array that went bad. RAID10 would have been protected.

turns out this client was actually R6, I wasnt working on it, just getting info from other techs.

So they didn't loose the array on 2 drive failures?

No, they had to let the repair run overnight at boot rather than live for some reason.

Anyone ever use Plex or something like it to stream training videos created by your company?
