    100% of women and 99% of men could not play NFL football without dying instantly. NFL players these days are about 2 steps away from being Space Marines. They're mutants.

    The flip side is that it's only a battlefield because we've chosen to make it that way, without really a consideration of why that is necessary. So much of the landscape of that battlefield is shaped by artificial scarcity, competition towards no productive ends, and other societal delusions.

    Because they use that wealth to manipulate politicians and rig the system even more in their own favor once they're already winning. The insidious thing about our system is that it's not enough for rich people to be rich and comfortable, they have to rig the system so everyone else has...

    3x 120mms in the front if you want, not sure why the fuck you would want that in a silent case though. 2x 140s should be fine.

    The part about how life is still a competition even though it looks like there should be plenty for everyone is something I wish someone had told me when I was younger. The rest of the stuff is the kind of unfairness that only dumb people complain about. The kind of unfairness that smart...

    Parts of this are definitely true. I had 6 years of solid public-sector IT experience, followed by 8 years of mostly unrelated college. This job is 7 miles from my house and offers unlimited overtime, and everything after 40 hours can be done remote. It also has insane job security, because...

    Or the best "I was pulling some wires in my server room and now my PBX won't stop rebooting. Please build me a new one, using the backups we forgot to take for the past 2 years, and get it and a tech on site by 7am tomorrow. Thx."

    Resetting VM passwords is tier 0 CSR work. I do full implementations on VOIP systems with 50k+ users, while also doing real-time monitoring of every server, switch, gateway and voice circuit in 6500 customers' servers, doing customer service calls and emails, dispatching subs, dealing with...

    Which cert? I really don't want to do network infrastructure so I don't want a CCNA. I could probably bang out an MSCE. I really want my current employer to pay for an MCSE in Skype for Business PBX, since we just started selling that and have a whopping 3 people who can support it.

    Unless you have an Avaya phone system, or certain vendors enterprise data switches, or certain video conferencing systems, it wouldn't be much good.

    Blizzard just announced OW would support 21:9 by the end of July, which means I bet a lot of other AAA game makers will follow suit. And yes, it does seem like a 1080 ti would be the minimum single-card solution to power this thing.

    The irony of this has not been lost on me and I've made similar arguments to others. Ultimately I think the issue lies in the fact that the education system rewards obedience plus conformity, while capitalism, at least at the high end, rewards the opposite.
