Hell to the no. 100% no. Most people don’t know how to lock down their computers and networks properly or set up a QOS that is worth a damn. Neighbor’s partner is a photography freak and is uploading 100+ uncompressed pictures a day to Facebook while you’re in the middle of a gaming session and now you’re a…

I took the route of applying for an international assignment through my job in the early ‘90s. Spent 3 years in Singaporean shipyards and another 2 in South American oilfields. While that’s not feasible for everyone, it’s a very good way to break the blinders.

If you look up ”all hat and no cattle” in your handy “Texas Phrasebook for Yankees and Other Furriners”, all you’ll see is a picture of this truck.

Counterpoint: I watched this turd a while back expecting it to at least be interesting . Even if you could make yourself suspend all disbelief and just think of it as a dystopian anti capitalist fantasy, it was beyond dumb.
