Comment on Why aren't Americans filling the manufacturing jobs we already have? in ~life
Sunbutt23 Link ParentOooo fair point. I did read this the other way.Also to be clear, I never said that I was smarter than everyone else, I claimed that someone may be shocked at how dumb their co workers are compared to the coworkers they had before. It’s a subtle difference, but I think it is worth mentioning.
Oooo fair point. I did read this the other way.

And I’m not a fan of being called dumb or stupid just because someone doesn’t take the time to realize there is more than one right way to do stuff. But as I said to @carrie “that’s a me problem, sorry for projecting”

I get told my decision making is stupid once or twice a week and I feel that while I didn’t make the same decision as the complainant, I had good reason to make my decision and it didn’t really make things worse. So reading the original comment I felt sympathy for those being called dumb and wanted to fix my situation by changing your language.
Sorry for projecting. @carrie on.

Sunbutt23 Link ParentIt’s always felt arrogant to me for someone to announce their perceived higher level of intelligence. And I can’t help but question if everyone feels that way? Like are @Carrie’s coworkers also...It’s always felt arrogant to me for someone to announce their perceived higher level of intelligence.
And I can’t help but question if everyone feels that way? Like are @Carrie’s coworkers also said “sheesh they’re annoyingly dumb”?

I can see what you’re saying and ultimately I’d probably agree were I in the position.

I’ve felt like the smartest person in the room before, but that’s for the task at hand. Maybe these folk are intelligent in other ways that you just don’t see at work?

Sunbutt23 LinkThank you for your title. When I saw it in the verge I was off put by the wildly emotion inducing title. Still not gonna read the article, but I’m glad it’s even dumber than the original title.Thank you for your title. When I saw it in the verge I was off put by the wildly emotion inducing title.

If I use arsenic as a catalyst and don’t completely remove it from the final (consumable) product, that could cause issues.

In 2 minutes I can deploy it and have the terraform script insert the new pihole Tailscale ip as my tailnet name server and set override local dns on joining nodes. This is all automated with stored secrets to access Tailscale and AWS. I’m pretty proud.
Next step is to implement OIDC so that I don’t need an AWS access key stored as a secret in my repo.
Next next step is to duplicate the work to GCP and Azure. All free tier of course.
As always, advice is welcome!
