Why ansible?

Because it's trash. It's sad. It's a slow, unreliable mishmash of suck that I loathe to work with.

Not needing an agent?!? You write "caching shit so we can run our remediation in under a century and one pass" funny. I build new machines in 3-4 minutes with a full remediation and like 300 data points to check with the good tools. But it takes tower 3-4 min to net started before actually doing anything, and then another few minutes for ~30 datapoints. I do NOT want to see it with an actual payload.

The only thing going for Ansible is the network effect of "everybody using it" and especially not learning well enough about anything else.

Downvote.

Also if there is under investment then that can severely hamper the system - we have that problem in the UK - demand is going up as the population ages, but the politicians won't make the hard choices of taxing the elderly to support expanding the Healthcare system.

Politicians are drunk on the growing private 'optional' sector, letting unequal access creep in through the door they got their muddy feet in. This absolutely has to stop.

We see it here, as some regions take their levy and starve the public system in the hopes of forcing people shell out for the only option in this 'optional' alternative.

The NHS is a model of how to do it except any part that even speaks - or offers a business license - to any clinic offering any services which overlap at all with public space. This insidious taint needs to result in jail time for cruelty.

An overpriced, tiny guest house that may potentially double the use of the most inefficient housing format there is, is at best a tiny drop in the ocean.

Density is realized not by charitably lending out a few square feet in your hoarded greenspace at a premium cost. Density is realized by consolidating greenspace, building massively vertically, and rendering more sprawl back into the land pool for reassignment as housing and shared greenspace if close into urban centers, agri land otherwise. Over and over.

The age of hoarded greenspace is over. We need to tax that for the luxury it is.

Okay, you got me hooked. Give us the details so we can see what you see. We promise to keep an open mind.

convincing people the other guy’s worse.

At its heart, voting is choosing the least-worse option.

Our best case is being able to repeat this until the criminally-bad options are gone and we only have good options to choose from, but while life expectancy and objective happiness is far, far below what it should be for such a rich nation, you know we have some heavy evolution ahead.

we cannot speak ill of Democrats while Trump exists, don’t you know!

Sure we can. The idea of loyalty over all is actually a foundation of conservative political parties, while center- and left-leaning parties are increasingly critical of themselves. It's why charity or protest groups splinter all the time or just implode with all that angst.

It's okay if you don't know that. It's part-and-parcel.

This was the funniest part.

Hey, I come from an army family: it put food on our table and gave one of us a degree, finally. But even back then, with an autocratic family life, there was still NO F'N WAY dad was gonna succeed in lining up the family to walk in a manageable line across the lawn and pick stones. Maybe we'd line up, but the work wouldn't be that good because #teenager

The journey of a thousand miles begins with people quitting because it was too far.

we need Pop-up Video for politics.

undermine the current system by deplatforming those we don’t like.

Just the criminals.

Maybe a Biden vs Haley debate?

how fleek.

“Earlier this week, an employee disrupted a coworker who was giving a presentation — interfering with an official company-sponsored event,” Google spokesperson Bailey Tomson says in an emailed statement. “This behavior is not okay, regardless of the issue, and the employee was terminated for violating our policies.”

I guess they've gone from 'disruptive' to 'disruption-averse'.

"..how birds look like.."

Just one of many issues with the English here.

• what it looks like
• how it looks

You need to pick a lane.

I love how you not only made a lame generalization but then jumped to the worst conclusion imaginable with both feet.

Seems to read like a power struggle between the parks n rec and their Conservative overlords.

ReactOS FTW.

until End

End? Not 'the' end or 'an end'?
