Speaking of bridges, the worst one I have ever seen was this baby:

I almost went into the water because a pothole practically sent me airborne.

Not sure if that's an infrastructure thing or just a really hot fire thing.

Russian hysteria must come in 30 year cycles.

Saw this little gem today:

Never was a big fan of Thunderbirds, but OK. The real unusual thing about it was we are expecting 12" of snow today and he is driving THAT thing in it?

My grandfather drove one of those for years. It was canary yellow.

Really? That's cool!!

Hopefully he didn't park it like this guy did in the picture! (I noticed it while I was typing my response LOL.)

No clue all we have are pictures of it, he sold it before my mother was born. He had bought it brand new and took care of it like it was his baby.

My father wasn't too much of a car guy, but his dream car (truck) was the Little Red Express.

Little known fact: This truck was the fastest production vehicle you could buy in 1978

So.... yes then?

Not at all trendy, but English isn't this guy's first language.

Me too!!! Good to see some other folks with such dusty certs.

Dusty old certs. I had a bunch of certs for Netware back in the day.

Ahhhh...my dusty Netware 5 cert. I have that somewhere.

I was just at lunch and I caught this. It's a live feed of an African safari. This is pretty cool!!!

If you can't get professional experience with Linux, that is a good time to focus on getting a cert. LinuxAcademy is fairly reasonably priced.

Or volunteering. I got loads of awesome experience when I was younger in IT when I set up an entire private K12 school that had no computers (one ancient Mac with no networking, just a printer in the office.) Built their entire network, soup to nuts, on openSuse. Servers, storage, backup, desktops, PBX you name it. It was awesome experience.

When you're jobless, or super flexible part time worker, this type of thing might be possible, as a 30 something with a full time job, that's near impossible because the School is going to need this done quickly... plus followup support, granted you might not provide that.

Especially considering I have 3 hours of commuting every day minimum. I-195 E is a nightmare at 5:00 PM. It definitely would be a great learning experience though if it were possible.

Not the RI-MA 195, right?

Ugh! Made the mistake of putting an install directory in a place where regular users can get to it. What do they do? Yup...install it. Nice going, morons!

2nd rant over

If you stand too close to a shit flinging monkey, you get monkey shit on you. But do you blame the monkey for throwing poo? Or is it your fault for standing too close to the monkey?

You can just not feed the monkey so he won't throw poo at you anymore and still be close LOL

Thinking

Inside the Box: Stand farther from the monkey
Outside the Box: Starve the Monkey

REALLY outside the box: Entice the monkey to throw it at you.

Totally new to Reddit. Tried to post 2 comments and I get "You are doing that too much". What? Posting to a FORUM SITE?

That has to be the dumbest thing ever implemented. What a joke!!

Rant over.

Reddit is ridiculous. It's hard to follow for conversations, and the posting is terrible. It's just the new Yahoo! Answers.

It is hard to follow!! I figured it would be a cool place to go, but I guess I was wrong.

Have left over pot roast from last night. It's good coming out of the slow cooker, but the next day is always better.

If any of it is built with a Windows OS, we have nothing to worry about. It will be too busy installing patches to take over the world.
