  • Sigh. I’m on the team that manages the phone and IM platform for my organization. We are on Cisco Jabber which is admittedly super outdated at this point. Around covid times, we got a new hot-shit CEO who replaced most of our upper management. The new CTO looked at our mature and relatively painless Cisco environment, heard our pleas to let us upgrade to WebEx Teams (Cisco’s replacement for Jabber) and said, “Nope. I had MS Teams at my last job, and I want that here.”

    Roll forward five years and the CEO is long since kicked out, the CTO just left, and we’re right around the corner of our AD/Exchange team FINALLY moving us to M365 and giving us access to the tenant so we can START learning what this monster is going to take to manage.

    Fucking C-suites…


  • I hope you’re not referring to this fight between Keith David and Roddy Piper. First, Keith David’s never been a wrestler, and second, it’s a hilariously awkward, unnecessary, and drawn out fight that deserves love, not scorn.

    Was there some other fight with a pro wrestler in the movie that I forgot about? It’s been a while since I saw it and didn’t see any wrestlers I recognized in the main cast.


  • The first MK movie was the archetypal “It’s good… for a video game adaptation” movie for a long time. Luckily now we have great adaptations (not necessarily movies though) to point to that stand on their own merits.

    But yeah, there’s always a part of me that will have fond memories of MK and the JCVD Street Fighter movie. Hell, add Double Dragon to that list.

    Man, I wish that was the case at places I worked at. My last company would give you stipends for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Try to spend that stipend at a convenience store because you don’t eat breakfast and just want some coffee and a snack for later? Screw you, we’re deducting from your paycheck for that.

    I had a coworker who got caught on the wrong side of that policy. Since then, he’d always max out his stipend at every meal. Apps, desserts, etc. He’d get a second entree just to take back to his hotel as long as it wouldn’t put him over the limit.

    He probably cost the company hundreds extra because they wouldn’t reimburse him for a bag of chips one time.
