It's my first time with iDrac.

And the line (excluding iDrac) is from a movie, one that I would expect everyone to know.

I know the quote, can't figure out why it's applicable here.... but hey, if out of band access gets you hot, just go with it

That scares me, at least a bit ...

It's @DustinB3403 first time, he should be a little excited

OK, so @DustinB3403, get a place where you feel comfortable and just, erm, plug in

I like the sharks that eat the idiots that go swimming in the ocean, and then wonder why they lost a leg, arm or other appendage.

Those sharks are my bros.

Because if you don't want to be a part of the food chain, don't get into the food chain.

Can't add anything to this

Didn't get as far up the coast as we wanted, we were all tired. Checked into French Beach Provincial Campground.

Check out that Caesar, omg.

Is that last pic some hangover drink? If the alcohol doesn't kill you... this thing looks dangerous

It's a strange Canadian drink. Contains clam juice and a snack

Being a Canadian drink is not enough of an excuse for this unholy ... WHAT the heck is that actually? Tomato? Some mutated bloody mary?

It's tomato and clam juice with gin and a splash of whisky. Extra spicy. Garnish with pickled vegtables, cheese, cured meat. Rim is Montreal Steak Spice haha.

Already got kids? You shouldn't drink / I mean eat / consume that again if you still plan to have some...

I knew that the USA got a next to non-existing social system and that there are...

That stuff is super misleading, though. There are definitely desperate homeless all over wondering how they will eat. But having lived in Newark and getting to know the majority that lived near me including often taking them out to eat and hanging out in the park with them... they actually pitied me as the rich Wall St. worker who had to actually work every day. They said that they felt that their lives were way better than mine.

So it is all perspective. They didn't see themselves as missing out, they felt that they were making a smart choice to not have to do a job that they didn't like just to have things that they didn't need (like shelter beyond a sleeping bag or whatever.) It was a conscious decision in many cases.

Like I said before, some may have chossen that path. Most did not, I guess.

Guess I'll have SC2 now, less than $4 in the sale, and I did enjoy the first one.

where?

Steam

Uhm, we're talking about StarCraft II here? If so, can't find it on steam ('cause it's battle.net)

Haha, Supreme Command 2. I was going to comment that but didn't for some reason. It is another, fantastic, RTS game.

@thwr The bad part seems to be that the government took over responsibility for taking care of people that fall into that situation. This is the same government that's currently 19 trillion (US dollars) in the hole. History is not kind to anyone that puts themselves in this same situation.

I always find it funny that the only people who are really worried about national debt, which is significantly different then personal debt, are politicians. Most economics, there are several organizations that I've read similar statements to, seem to agree that national debt isn't something to worry about until you reach a specific threshold. The cost of managing the debt and paying it down is more expensive then letting it go and letting the economy do its thing. Their reasoning is that, traditionally - in almost all cases, the economy will grow faster then the debt incurred.

The fiscally responsible thing is generally to not worry about spending on debt, but instead spend on infrastructure which has a significantly higher rate of return.

Right, that's the "new" way of thinking. If we actually put that money into infrastructure it might even work. Please don't get me started on the state of our infrastructure!

It really isn't new. The new way of thinking is that we shouldn't spend money and instead pay down on debt regardless of the actual utility of it. We've know that infrastructure and debt spending have been important to the economy since the early 1800's and maybe a bit earlier. Other nations have known it long before that.

But we just keep on borrowing - I really don't understand why we keep borrowing more and more - there will reach a point when we can't pay it back, I sorta understand the spending on infrastructure is good for the economy, but at the cost of continuing to pay out debtors, like China? When do we stop the bleeding? I seriously don't understand this situation at all.

I also don't understand the infinitely growing economy belief either.

Well, new aircraft carriers are damn expensive [link1, link2] ...

Second day of vacations and I start to feel a bit bored. Promised my wife that I won't do anything IT until Thursday (the day after her birthday)...

Anyway, good morning ML

Good morning. Maybe time for a new video game?

Good idea, but that would be the 6th in 2 weeks (Grim Dawn, Age of Mythology, Age of Empires 3, Torchlight II, Supreme Commander)

I miss the AoE2 matches we used to do, with the entire NTG team...

Used to play Unreal Tournament all night long with C-level guys back in in the good old dotcom days Most memorable statement was made by the financial guy who called me in-house, it was like 2am when my phone rang: If you kill me one more time with that f...cking railgun, I will deny your next raise no matter what!!!!!oneoneeleveleven

Yeah mh, got that raise, despite he was hitting the ground the very next second.

Same here, government's responsibility, so it does work if you want to. And we don't even got the system that Switzerland has, for example. They at least tried to make it to "unconditional basic income". I don't see the world through rose-colored glasses, but shouldn't a government voted by the people at least care for them? Pointing to Obama-Care, for example...
