"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Maybe now companies will stop using Windows for enterprise/server needs...lmfao what clowns. You can keep a Linux server running for 15 years straight without needing to reboot.

I read an article today, that stats from Microsoft said that only 1% of computers/servers were effected. Amazing how such a global outage can be caused by so few computers.

Unlikely. Windows is much more user friendly. Linux is CLI based which means you need someone with a lot of experience and knowledge to be able to effectively run them versus Windows servers with a GUI that is much more user friendly and doesn't require as much experience and knowledge.

Windows based servers are also much more easily integrated with the other Microsoft products that most of these companies are using as well.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I can't argue that second point since OSS is garbage and proprietary/enterprise Windows software is unquestionably better...

Is it really that hard to find qualified Linux sys/network admins though?

Give me a UNIX kernel any day of the week. Linux has come a long way, a very long way - but I run a Mac m2pro, looking into a m3 ultra as soon as the pocketbook allows. More stable, more curated OS by far. BSOD’s are common in Winblows never had anything like it on MacOS, or Linux, even back when I was compiling my own kernels, leaving out all kinds of crap I didn’t need to make the kernel smaller and tons faster.

Crazy just how vulnerable our global IT systems are and how they are so interlinked.

Everything from equity markets, hospitals and airlines are shut down as well as some banks and other places due to a bad update that was pushed out by Crowdstrike which is a global IT security company.

Willing to bet some people are jobless after that one...
