  • This reminds me of a joke…

    A new monk arrives at the monastery and is assiged to help the other monks in copying the old texts by hand. When he looks closer, however, he notices that they are copying copies, not the original books. The new monk goes to the head monk to ask him about this. He points out to the head monk that should there be an error in the first copy, that error would be continued in all of the other copies. “We have been copying from the copies for centuries,” says the head monk, “however, I must admit you make a very good point, my son.” The head monk then goes down to the cellar with one of the copies to check it against the original. Hours pass and no one sees him, so one of the monks decides to go downstairs to look for him. When he arrives he hears loud sobbing coming from the back of the cellar and finds the old head monk leaning over one of the original books crying. “What’s wrong,” he asks the old monk. “The word is CELEBRATE!” sobs the old monk.

    Quick vent. My job introduced OneDrive and cloud shit through Microsoft. Yeah. I still have to tell my computer to save on itself. I’m not using OneDrive.

    I hear my coworkers bitch about it all the time. It’s not syncing. I can’t save or change this or that. I can’t find it when I’m trying to open it. Why is this green or yellow? What’s up with this check? They always ask me for help because I’m the younger one that knows more about computers. I respond that I don’t do cloud shit. I want to know where my info is, but they keep on wanting me to figure it out for them.

    I guess cloud computing is my old man yelling at clouds line.




  • Yes. A couple nerds invented a way to process and manufacture steel quickly and Carnegie bought the patent and made all the steel.

    Way to not add anything of real value Carnegie. Anyone in his position would have said, oh let me buy that and then produce my steel faster than anyone else in the world. The only reason he had wealth to do that was luck. Someone took him under his wing as a kid and raised in up in the business/manufacturing/world. Carnegie worked hard, but he had a lot of luck.

    Not to completely shit on Carnegie. He started donating some of his wealth away and tried to convince his peers to do the same. He could have been paying his workers more the whole time instead, but waiting to the end helps some workers that might have still been alive, at least.
