Before I start in to the prompt I’d selected, I was reading through some of what I’d written last summer.
\nIt totally seems like a different life.
\nI was unemployed, prior to my re-entry into the cluserfuck that I’d left a little more two years before.
\nDuring my thing yesterday, I mentioned that when I was in the clusterfuck managing the Windows Server environment, I was digging through my scarred brain to recall things I hadn’t done in about fifteen years.
\nYet, that’s what was still being used.
\nAlso, never engineer from scratch.
\nColonel Boyd actually addressed this.

\nThe payoff isn’t until about the six-minute mark. \u00a0Essentially, though, he told the Air Force higher-ups that they had a choice between making something that was only marginally-better than the F-111, or building something correctly from scratch.
\nDo you think you can ever trust a politician\u2019s word<\/em>
\nI really don’t have malevolent suspicions about others.
\nMaybe that’s a character flaw.
\nBut I really don’t think most people are out to hurt others.
\nPoliticians are, first and foremost,\u00a0people.<\/strong> \u00a0In the vast majority of circumstances, they’re not to do anything bad.
\nThe geriatric folks running Washington, aren’t trying to mess with anyone.
\nNo, they may not understand Facebook or Bitcoin. \u00a0To me, that says they just shouldn’t try to control those things they don’t understand.
\nBut, hey, let’s have the fucking FCC regulate the Intertubes!!1!
\nSo, with the basic assumption that the vast majority of people don’t leave the house every single day looking for ways to screw others, you have to say that politicians aren’t either.
\nWould you be hesitant to ask a politician with a cell phone in his hand what time it is?
\nWell, he’s a politician, so he can’t be believed, amirite?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
