I have stable ~950 MBit/s to the NAS with Cat5e. That’s ~115 MB/s. If that 40 is to a machine on the LAN, either there is some bottle neck at one of the ends, or there’s some problem with the cable to the RJ-45 jacks.
But one’s life happens in a context. If the world around you changes faster, then you spend less time in that context before it changes. Going out of the common reference frame means your life is cut short.
It took reading your comment to realize that they stayed in line together. I was horrified reading the post - thinking they were choosing who would stand in line and who would go to the seats. I think there are many people who can relate to this, as parenting has become (for many) much more progressive and gentle than it was in the past. There’s a greater focus on mental health and less “do what i say” or “because i said so”. I grew up with just my mom in what i thought was a strict home. Then i met my husband who was part of a military family that followed a strict chain of command. We were probably more controlling than we should have been, but less than we grew up with in the 70’s. If my kids have kids, i hope they’ll be better. We all take what we experience and hopefully do better when it’s our turn. What kind of childhood did your dad have?
My man - thanks for sharing your story with us. You made my day better for it.
And as I typed to a wrestling community what I intended to be a beautiful story, I realized it’s only beautiful to me because of my own repressed perspective.
It was a wonderful story even without the full context. I don’t know what the online wrestling community is like, but unless they’re a bunch of jerks they’ll enjoy it too; whether you decide to share it with or without your personal context.
I’m 60 years old, my father passed many years ago. I have still not come to grips with all the complexities of our relationship. My wife knows that if we ever see a film or TV show where a parent, but particularly a father shows any form of approval for something their son did, I will turn into a blubbering mess.
That said, more rational me knows that there were many ways in which my father was a good dad, if am willing to take the time to look for them.
I have three sons and a daughter, my greatest hope in life is that they won’t have the same issues with me as a father that I did with my own dad.
Thanks again for this amazing story about how even small things we do can have a great impact, and not necessarily on those we expect them to.
