That’s not the case. Usually governments and public organisations go throw a volume licensing agreements that sees them taking more than just windows. It would usually include things like windows, office, a bunch of enterprise applications, as well as support on top of it all.
Microsoft usually relies on those agreements to push software that might not be needed.
Another reason could be the video display management system they used to remotely control these screens. The software might only run on windows.
A more challenging route does lower the odds of encountering other people though which is a plus. Nice to have the solitude even if that means extra effort.
I mean you see other people for a matter of seconds as you pass them on the trail, maybe give a head nod or a quite hello and keep going. Going out of your way to avoid this seems extreme behavior that probably means you need help.
I beg to differ. I like to pick a treeline and just dive in, and I’ve had a ton of weird encounters. Like once I was walking through the woods, and I very suddenly came to a clearing… There were two dudes in their underwear and a single moped
I had so many questions… Like why didn’t you stash the moped closer to the trail? Or did you have your underwear on already, or did you hear me and scramble? Are your clothes in the moped saddlebags, or did you ride out like this?
I had no idea how to react, so I just gave a nod and nonchalantly walked between them like I was on a trail
The best way to avoid that is to not start at a trail to begin with. But that is difficult in many places of the world. Since I’m from Sweden I’m free to roam pretty much anywhere I wish and that gives me an unfair advantage.
Human trails or deer trails? Because my absolute favorite hiking experience was when a group of friends and I said ‘fuck it’ to the people trails and spent the day wandering the deer trails.
Nice, met my now wife on bumble, hooked her with talk of my love of video games and Golden Age Sci-fi novels…or maybe despite of, she’s pretty tight lipped about it.
In fairness, hiking is a great first date. Shared goal, nice scenery, and you can just talk about what you read about the length, difficulty, view of the hike if you’re flailing for smalltalk
Then you hike, and you can point out what you see or ask random philosophical questions with time to think in silence without it being weird
And then, you spend some time seeing a nice view, maybe have a small picnic, and by the time you get back you already know each other without the awkward “interview” stage of a first date
If tinder wasn’t a cesspool at this point, I’d probably have it in my profile
Wouldn’t say I love it, but I don’t mind hiking, trees and mountains are cool. I also live in a part of new england where it’s basically just trees mountains and hills so any sort of walking around turns into a hike
This is me. This is also me when a new sales rep would email some huge internal distribution list and the “take me off this email” reply-all clusterfuck would start.
That was me on a mail-chain about an issue that would result in us losing our licence to operate in a certain market if we didn’t have a fix before the end of Easter with the first mail arriving the week before Easter.
That was until I figured out I had to fix the issue though…
Eugh. That feeling is the worst job related one. When you realize that you could’ve handled it within working hours but because you tried to dodge it you end up having to work overtime and mess up the family plans for the holiday…
Now-a-days I make damn sure someone I know is competent has the task assigned to them with ample time to fail and notify me without it leading to an all-nighter.
Well, the first mail arrived Friday afternoon leading up to the Easter week and I looked at it Monday thinking “sucks to be the guy responsible for that” before seeing the ticket pop into my team’s desk. It is a task that takes 3 weeks to implement with a full team so the issue is known by level 2 staff and probably even our CEO. At least we’re told that we have the entire IT department at our disposal, but holy hell, who the fuck comes up with an all-or-nothing deadline of 3 working days?
Someone who fucked up in one way or another. Anything that’s not a security related incident with a CVE entry is bound to be a major oversight by someone. Remember over promising is a fuck up, not business as usual in a healthy organisation.
I saw a person irl like this once and only once in my life more than a decade ago. It was wild. I had never seen a leather bag human before. The lady clearly had some sort of tanning addiction or something.
I remember when the rumbly tummy pain last hit, I was sure I was done and went to lay down in the empty tub until the pain subsided and then went back to the can for awhile. Call it half-time.
Nah, when it was THIS bad in my personal experience, it was so painful that i just beat my head on the side wall and growling just to make pain stop, yes that food poisoning was THAT painful
