I know I’m my fiancé’s second love after the dog, but it’s endlessly entertaining to have him follow her around while she’s talking to him, telling him how adorable he is and he’s just going in and wagging is tail and being generally excited.

Ultimately, the death of US manufacturing is about this attitude. It's easy to say "buy american or stfu" because virtue signaling is free. But it's hard to actually sustain a business because many Americans simply don't want to pay what it costs to produce things ethically in this country
Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu." 

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

I went to the factory seconds sale in Red Wing and I have apparently been inducted into a boot cult.

The post-mission debrief screen in Helldivers 2 showing that orange has 165,240 friendly fire damage. The health pool of a helldiver is 125 HP.

Well, technically it’s company funded. But I work for them so they essentially went “we are doing a public training offering anyways so you’re taking it over zoom”

So. So much tech debt.

I’ve been taking the SpecterOps RTO class this week and even though I’ve done RT courses before this one is wild. There’s actual defenders in the environment scrutinizing your stuff. It’s a pretty big AD lab too. Having a ton of fun with it but man my brain hurts.

(Note I work for SpecterOps)

This is one of my favorite parts about working at SpecterOps. The whole company is built around discovering esoteric use cases for technologies and sharing it. I’m the dumbest guy in the room constantly. It’s humbling. And I love it.

If you are new to IT, I would ask you to be on the lookout for someone willing to teach you esoterics.

Because I am now in the senior principal position. And I am begging anyone to learn what I know, because I am the only one that does.

I previously tried to teach someone but they washed-out.

A few years ago I went through a process to migrate a fairly hefty Notion presence into obsidian. I had *just* finished my OSCP and my notes were very un structured and difficult to understand. I wanted to update them, but knew it would be a very painful process. It is in fact, a painful process.
