I thought the big reveal was that almost all trill could be joined successfully, but since there weren’t enough symbionts to go around they pretend that it’s only a select few that can?

Trying to cut over to a new router/core switch stack and have been running into issues with some of our customers. Their workflows are dependent on WAN circuits that are being deprecated in the cutover and they just don’t want to adjust because they’re afraid of the downtime. Not that it would even be that much downtime, since the NAT/Trunks/Gateways are already configured and the LAGs just need hardware and the routing table scripted in.

People just don’t understand that occasionally we have to go dark for 30-60 minutes for critical upgrades that just can’t be done with HA due to the outdated hardware we are trying to move off of.

Their unwillingness to play ball is what keeps us so out of date in the first place.

c0mbatbag3l , to Star Trek in Tuvok with some truth
@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

He’s also coming to the realization that if their trip home takes as long as predicted it’s likely that he will be Captain by journey’s end. First and second are adults humans in their 40’s and he’s got plenty of years left on him as a Vulcan. It’s unlikely that Janeway or Chakotay won’t be too old to really do the job in 50/60 years time.

He can’t afford to just be a security officer, he needs to start thinking about command and the additional skills he must develop to become Captain in every sense. That means adjusting to the differences in the way the two jobs are concerned with personnel and mental well-being. Captain is more than just the ability to take charge in a combat situation and be successful, but the long term devotion to crew and ship on a personal/loyalty level which Tuvok doesn’t display in the early seasons. He’s far too pragmatic for it, additionally he distances from personal relationships which a Captain must have with their department heads.

Vulcans use “logic” to disguise their emotional attachments frequently in the show. They claim something is logical when it’s a purely emotional situation and logic doesn’t really apply. Not that Tuvok personally has those tendencies.

Tuvok’s character arc heavily involves him realizing that he’s got to have a little bit more of an understanding of emotions in other species, since he is third in command and Voyager will be without support for years if not decades. He’s showing empathy but only stating facts, his child is in a similar situation and Ensign Wildman has done a good job in raising Naomi. He knows hope is important to her ability to function in the situation and he alleviates her concerns as quickly as he can merely by pointing out the truth and explaining to her why she shouldn’t fear the outcome.

He’s developing his leadership skills as it pertains to other species, not just the leadership that works with Vulcans.

That hull design philosophy was pretty standard for the late 2300’s to early 2400’s. Color and all.

@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

Damn, but hear me out.

Why don’t we just put a law in place that restricts 65 as the max age for politicians?

If you’re too old to work you’re too old to understand what working class people need from their policymakers. That’s before we even get into issues like “how’s an 80 year old that can’t even connect to WiFi going to make good digital laws?”

@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

Honestly I haven’t been in the industry for long enough to really have a good variety under my belt, and I’m still learning my current environment.

For small to medium businesses you could probably get away with Meraki gear though.

@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

Not you personally, but the overarching narrative you’re espousing is intended to take the pressure off of the current oppressors which are the religious authorities of the middle east.

Sorry if it seemed like I was specifically targeting you, it’s more about the articles perspective being used as a tool.

The British have nothing to do with the takeover of religious authoritarianism in the area and the obvious implications of what people would be oppressed when said religion becomes law.

This trying to shift the blame onto anyone except the actual problem, the modern religious extremists that control the country.

How is centuries old colonialism at fault for the clearly bigoted and anti-LGBTQ theocracy of fundamentalist Islamic radicals that took over the country and are currently implementing and enforcing authoritarian restrictions on the population LIKE WE KNEW THEY WOULD?!?

Stupid as absolute fuck. Blame Sharia law and those that uphold it.
