Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[trappedslider]

4. Related to 3, but really start to make efficient use of my time. If its not Wife time, Work time, Gym time, Hobby time, it better be improving my life in the long term. I am starting to feel like I dont have a ton of time left to just waste on pointless things.

I learned that the hard way

EDIT: I feel I've been living on borrowed time since I turned 30

So I just spent a while reading over a dozen pages in a thread. A thread chocked full of people fighting both for and against pineapple, and it's place on pizza. I was going to write a reply there, but felt that it didn't really add anything of value to the thread, so I didn't.. Then I came here, to write that reply, since this is the home of such comments, but I wasn't happy with anything I wanted to say.. So instead..

Happy New Years friends. I played Magic the Gathering for 7 straight hours yesterday, and it was fun. I'm making pizza for dinner tonight, but no pineapple. Probably feta cheese and banana peppers.

Most people have absolutely no idea how much of a big deal Y2K really was. The reason why it was such a wet firecracker was the massive amount of work people put into avoiding the issues, prior to the turn of the millennium. As the junior guy, at the time, I was the one who got stuck being on-site for the roll-over. One system failed; our phone system's computer. I could have fixed it but wasn't allowed to, because the manager of the Telecom Group wanted the vendor to do it.

I was a newbie working at Fidelity Investments and was one of the folks staffed that night to respond if things went badly. Of course they didn't, because Fidelity had not only made huge investments in updates but cloned their entire system to test it in isolation ahead of time and to have a duplicate backup to move to if needed.

While working NYE wasn't ideal, on the plus side they also splurged on an incredible buffet in the cafeteria for everyone working that night. I'm talking prime rib, jumbo shrimp, etc. No alcohol, of course, but an incredible spread.

It was the same with the hole in the ozone layer, back in the 80s. Scientists identified a problem, legislators took them seriously, and a lot of people worked really hard to update their practices and fix the problem.

Fast forward to the mid-2000s and...well, let's just say that our legislators have different priorities.

I think that Prince may well have been protecting us by absorbing all of the strangeness.

That would explain ... a lot.
