Realistically you don't get to react at that speed. Best you can do is slow down and hope.. Anything more than small adjustment of the steering wheel and you're no longer on the road. If I crashed at even half that speed I would probably wish I was dead because it's going to be a very long time if ever I function correctly again.

Canada has two sides of a coin, one is "I'm sorry" and the second is "we're the reason for a lot of the Geneva Convention"

Just a reminder for everybody, employment status term "probationary" within the government is not the same as general populations understanding. It means effectively new hire, generally under 12 months, not "they messed up and are on PIP or underperforming"

I have a local fiber group (just my city, maybe a few neighboring ones) and it's killer. 500 symmetric for 50 a month, no caps, instant support to somebody local (minus the odd 3 am calls those might get bounced to a pretty high quality over seas group, but that's not a big window), no contract and knowledgeable staff. Meanwhile my last cable Internet was Comcast and I think I'd rather swallow glass then willingly give them business

 

Every holiday, at whichever house is hosting, there is nothing but a laundry list of DIY tasks and shit that my family just expects help with. I get it, helping family and all that, but I really don't want to buy a plane ticket/driving across the midwest into a different state, use my limited PTO, then what time I have installing lights, a toilet, a storm door, a TV mount, and god knows what else instead of watching movies, sports, reading books, relaxing, boardgames, etc.

There is never a thank you, never respect that my time is going into somebody else's project, not attempt to learn to do it themselves, nothing. Just another errand to run or project to install. It would be one thing if my family members weren't able-bodied or the projects couldn't be done safely solo, but that is not the case. The thank you, if there is one is when I am leaving. My time doesn't feel appreciated, my talents or skills are expected and not respected, and when I'm annoyed by a situation I'm the problem.

There are a million reasons I should be thankful for a family that cares and gets together over the holidays, but I am so incredibly over not being appreciated or respected that I am just angry and bitter instead.

That is horrific...

If you're within probably 1.5 hours of the Minneapolis/st. Paul you're probably among sane folk, maybe within 30 of Duluth as well, but if you're out in the boonies and such you might be finding people who, while polite, might be flying a trump flag and think "city/colored folk" are the problem.

This might sound bad but I wish I had a similar level of resolve. I tolerate far too much insanity from people in my family.

So he put himself in the position of "I'm not smart" or "I talked to Putin"? Imagine putting yourself in checkmate like that

"is usually written by an over worked engineer"

I'm in this post and I don't like it.

But really these scada systems are rarely well defined by the time implementation happens. Often the architect has a great plan, but by the time it's passed to a manager, a non-software engineer, to the product engineer to the automation team to the contractor the end result is "X data is pushed in With Y form and we use either a,b,or c date time stamp any nobody knows"
