I've never had Slack do that, only people who don't know how to use threads. Seems to be the same people who reply with 3 words at a time and 10 messages to say what they wanted to say.

lol, I knew that was going to come up and I don't blame you. I couldn't remember who it was.

I still don't love the joke, tbh, but it feels like less of a stretch. I dunno. In short, modding is a world of contrasts and at least it was only a 6er I guess.

[edit: Now I remember, I think what pushed it over the edge for me was that it was something along the lines of buying a Brother. Again, I dunno. I do still think it's a tread carefully kind of thing.]

Yeah, that's not even remotely true for most networking teams. Maybe in the most basic of networks.

I'm generalizing of course but it's the opposite. I work for an ISP so if, for example, I have a single customer complaining of a routing issue because they can't get to Google, I can promise you there's no routing problem. Just because your trace ends in our core network doesn't mean the core network is down you're gonna have to trust me on that. Same goes with DHCP for example, it's either working flawlessly or we're in a crisis.

What I'm trying to say is our events tend to be "hundreds of customer calls" or "not service impacting" and there's very little middle ground. Even weird nebulous issues tend to have rippling effects to other services.

In practice about 10% of my job is being the rubber duckie for other teams to talk through their problems with because they're out of ideas on why their poo poo's not working and "eh it must be the network" is always the fallback option.

Oh for sure, if you are working for an ISP and dealing with a lot of end-user facing calls I can only imagine. I guess it's a pet peeve of mine when networking folks are super sure the problem is 100% not their issue because the world isn't on fire. While that may be true 99.9% of the time, sometimes that 00.1% can be an absolute nightmare trying to get someone acknowledge and actually work on.

I had a few days off for wisdom teeth as well because they did four in one go under general anaesthetic. The days off are mainly so you can come back nicely from the anaesthetic, and watch what you're eating because they scare you shitless about dry socket.

I got my wisdom teeth removed when I was in high school, general anesthesia as well. 2 days later I was playing soccer and went up for a header. Not my brightest moment.

Because when Congress changed DST in 2007 they phased it in and the day changed by a week for like a decade. A lot of DST had static dates that couldn't be changed and part of that big disaster was adding flexible dates.

It's been so long and I'm still mad at Microsoft for bundling their Exchange DST 2007 fix in with permission changes that hosed Blackberries and caused a bunch of work.
