Pringles

I guess because he thinks my comment is pointlessly braggy or something like that, which is fair I suppose, but I will leave it for context.

I always liked surfaces and have one. Granted, I run linux on it, but I do like it.

I think we decided to play 3 more rounds and then count the points, as the game was still gonna go on for at least another hour otherwise.

That reminds me of the Amadeus bar in Leuven. The owner was notoriously grumpy and curt. I sometimes went there as a student to play board games. One time he seemed very interested as we were playing, as he was looking at the board. We asked him if he wanted to play with and he just went "No, I'm wondering how much longer this game will take so I can kick you out and close."

Not sure if it's still open.

That was a fun read! Thanks for that

Your manager can go suck a dick. They are absolutely worth it and worth the out of pocket expense for the exam. The long term benefits (it looks very good on a cv) are absolutely beneficial to your career, not to mention you will learn relevant stuff in the process.

That last statement is absolutely true. My first 5-6 years in IT I kind of languished, because there were very few people around me that made an effort or pushed me to get better or just explained stuff to me. Then I got a call from a recruiter for a system engineer position. While I didn't get that job, it did lead me to quit my job to go find something better. I then did find an IT system engineer job where I had a great mentor, support and incentives to get IT certificates. I wasn't there for long due to personal circumstances, but that really launched my career and I've been getting better and higher paid jobs since.

Fun fact: the least perfect Scottish mountain is Princess street in Manchester because it is a. Not a mountain and b. Not even in Scotland

I completely forgot I bought that once during a discount, but didn't even have it installed. Started using it now, thanks.

This is why I decided not to host an instance in the end. Where I live, the laws are such that the hoster is responsible for the content hosted on their servers So if some shitbag posts CP that gets synced to my server and the authorities somehow find out, it would seriously fuck up my life.

For personal computing, sure. For enterprise environment, eh not really.
