I hope it doesn’t eat into devtime on Stationers, I love that game, even if I’m terrible at it.

Ive just started in a government IT role; everything is windows, I use windows myself at home for games, but run WSL for hobby dev, home server management and stuff like that.

This is my first sysadmin role, having come from a Dev background, and administration on windows feels like such a chore. Everything takes ten steps to do, lots of issues, and feels very counter intuitive. I am not enjoying it at all. I suppose actual large scale Linux adminning probably has the same issues and I’m putting it down to lack of experience, but there’s so many small niggly issues that I know I could solve if this was a Linux environment that I can’t due to how windows is set up.

I’m hopefully getting to move into a more hybrid dev/admin role for some web stuff, but I firs thave to convince my boss to let me install WSL so O can have a sane dev environment for web dev.

That might be what the disagreement here is. The sentence is very ambiguous because its not literal, though it can be read literally as you did. The poster is saying “I’m the dumb one for being the only one working in valve who is reachable by the public directly through social media.” Your interpretation isn’t wrong, but without the wider context of shorthand speech patterns you get from English as a first language, it can be difficult to figure out the implied message. English has a funny habit of saying one thing, but meaning another thing.

Is English your first language?

I mean, I dont disagree that the concept is insanely idiotic but all they’ve done in the purge is take the concept of a pogrom and applied it to modern day america. The premise isn’t that rediculous. It has happened, in real life. Yeah they’ve leaned into it, and dialed up the crazy fevor a bit, but its not so removed from real life accounts of pogroms.

Oh you fucker, its been over ten years. i just lost The Game.

I went to a house party once that was a lot of different nationalities of Europeans. Two French guys got increasingly drunk and belligerent about the aesthetic quality of French churches versus Irish churches. To the point they had to he asked to leave because they were close to starting a fight. I’ve met several frenfh people over the years and theres always some spontaneous comparison between something in france vs here. OPs story is not so far fetched.

Microwave repair can actually be quite dangerous if I understand correctly, as they can hold a residual charge which can be very harmful if you short it.

It does completely. Also, its “Milquetoast”. Milktoast is just soggy bread.
