"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

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.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

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?

If all those companies switched to Linux yeah they would be...

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...
