Sort of. Another way of thinking about it. Clips feed magazines, magazines feed guns.

clips.

Magazines. Magazines include a feeding mechanism, usually a spring. Clips just hold bullets together.

They all have mags in them. Hopefully they aren’t chambered.

My guess is the AI was trained on a combination of cat videos and sponge bob.

Conservative = my group is better than yours so we deserve power and resources

Tactics:

• Scape goating a weak group to sell it to a lower class (E.g. Pre MLK US blacks - poor whites)

• Appealing to fear and presenting a protector strong man

• Appealing to tradition and good old days (that sucked)

• Anti intellectualism

A number of measures to help students concentrate are taken during the annual event such as closing the country’s airspace and delaying the opening of the stock market.

That is what thinking of the children really looks like. Here in the US we just make stupid age verification laws for porn sites like it is going to make porn hard for teenagers to get.

Unless you REALLY need color, just buy a Brother BW laser printer. Toner doesn’t dry up. It is all but guaranteed to be the cheapest option. I bought the scanner BW laser printer combo like 8 years ago for $130.

So you want to advance to a higher level and have a broad interests?

You failed some MS cert exam?

You have a review coming up?

Broad interests. Don’t miss the forest for the trees. Learn core concepts and things that are useful in many contexts rather than specifics. This is where a lot of newbies go wrong. E.g. don’t learn about AD, learn LDAP and AD, OpenLDAP, DS389, will all come much easier. In most roles some basic programming with Python will come in handy. Once you learn to write code in one language, learning others comes a lot faster. Some worthwhile things to have a foundational grasp of: PKI and how it is used by SSH and TLS, a high level understanding of common network protocols. Peruse IETF RFCs for that. E.g. if you know how say DNS works, you can manage it using any DNS server software. Ditto http and web servers. You will need to learn configuration management SW and monitoring SW. I prefer salt stack and zabbix. There are many good choices.

Seriously learn PKI and TLS. I can recommend some good sources. TLS is used by pretty much everything to secure connections. Backup server to agent, browser to web server, AV to server, you name it.

Open Source is your friend, learn a bit about big projects. E.g. say you get good with backups and want to work for your favorite product vendor. That fancy backup appliance or cloud service is probably running Linux or FreeBSD on the metal and using something like Tomcat for the WebUI.

Learn a bit about licensing models. You will have to deal with it no matter what path you choose.

I wouldn’t try to impress your supervisor. Chances are, they’ll see through it. They may or may not care about their employees. Assume they don’t. Don’t assume the worst either. You can almost always trust interests. Their job in an MSP environment is to make sure contractual requirements are met and clients are happy. Focus on where your interests are aligned. Happy clients mean less headaches for you and your boss. I would let them lead the conversation, but focus on that aspect. If a lot of clients use X thing, mention that to your boss that you want to learn more about X thing as it will help you close tickets faster.

I was the same way. IMO, philosophy is WAY underrated. If the takeaway from intro to philosophy courses is ancient Greeks had some strange ideas about atoms and such, that is missing the point. Below is for anyone that has never touched philosophy at all.

Ethics is NOT what the corporate ethics things say about following the rules. Ethics in this context would raise the question of whether always following company rules is the right thing to do? Is right and wrong objective or subjective? Is something right in some contexts but wrong in others? Which system of thought should you be using (consequentialism, virtue, deontological)? I was just following orders when I murdered those people! By our laws it was legal, therefore right! It is a great way to persuade people and make decisions.

Epistemology is absolutely key to critical thinking. How do you determine what you know vs what you merely believe? Can you trust that error message is accurate? Can you trust your memory? Personal experience? It is a great way to build a world class bullshit detector.

Metaphysics gets you to think about things at a more foundational level. Think about a stop sign. Is it a red octogon with stop in white letters? Not everywhere. It could be a cop or crossing guard with their hand out. It could be a red light. It could be a red sign that isn’t an octogon at all. It is a great way to learn to challenge your assumptions about the nature of the world and things.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that is a take away by some people. The rebuttal:

It is a book about how to write unambiguously and clearly.

Clear writing isn’t useful? Think about arguments about phrases in the Constitution. Clarity would make those problems go away. I could name half a dozen STEM applications of quality writing off the top of my head:

• User Manuals
• Grant Proposals
• Research Results
• Emails to clients or coworkers
• Project plans
• Text books

20 year IT veteran here. What are your areas of interest?

Some potential areas:

• Networking
• AV
• End Points (PCs, phones, etc)
• Security
• Virtualization
• Programming
• Servers
• Applications
• Databases
• Storage
• Project Management
• Systems Analysis

Strunks Elements of Style should be mandatory reading every year of high school.

Good catch! It is 1034.

https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1034.txt

Which is blatant incompetence considering there is a very straightforward RFC covering domain names.

https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1035.txt

Which is completely irrelevant to the legitimacy of chiropractic.

When is the last time you went to a hospital and saw a chiropractic department? When was the last time you went to a hospital and saw an orthopedics department? I have never had an MD recommend I see a chiropractor, but I have been sent to an orthopedist who sent me to PT. It worked.

I would think they would keep at least 1 of each model/trim of vehicle for testing these things. This leads me to believe one of the following:

• Too tight of deadlines
• Cheap management won’t pay for testing time or units
• Culture of pencil whipping
• A bad apple didn’t do their job, which should be caught by procedures

Diabolical. Dick Tracy called and said he wants his watch back!

Hmm. One of the four from The Good Place or The Doctor.

Maybe if you provide a few examples, it would help provide some insight?
