I've heard similar claims in the past. Having done a couple of interim gigs coming in after a perm CISO I have to wonder how effectively those hours are being spent by some of my peer group....

Biggest thing I would go with is "don't do this for the money...because by the time you enter the market it's going to be earning like many other IT roles"... One hopes they enter because they find it interesting.

I came here to post that exact thought....

On more than one occasion I have invited Bob's at my table to please join other tables because I'm done with their particular brand of nonsense. If you are so unhappy with the campaign I am spending hours upon hours building please go somewhere else...for both our sakes.

I assume a media or public interest group would have standing to appeal this...or do I misunderstand?

Maybe I'm weird but I couldn't make it through reading book 1. The writing style grated on my and the way he treats the reader through is treatment of characters really bothered me. Haven't watched any of the series, etc. since I don't really care about it.

Happy Monday!

Public Access is coming to Kickstarter in March, and it would help us a lot if you signed up for prelaunch!

May I suggest making yourself a most amazing burrito, posting a pic of it, and enjoying all of commentary? :-)

I am reliably informed that a sportsball event occurred last night and [checks notes] the team that did the sportsball better won.

In my experience way too many hospitals, even if they truly understand the risk, lack the resources to be as effective in cyber as people assume they should be...especially in rural and inner urban hospitals.

Just gonna say Acute Sciatica sucks something hard.

Kinda hard to live a life when you can only walk 10-15 feet at a time before you collapse from pain so bad you have to lie down for 5-10 minutes to recover.

So very much The That...

I've stopped following folks I used to enjoy because of this... Life is short and I want to find happiness what bits of it I can.

I think there's a non-zero number of folks who get pissed about this realization because they don't like the "why I like this game" when they realize it's about killing and or avarice. They forget it's a Game and not Real Life which is why folks like me play them.

Super thread well worth reading. The general philosophy is applicable in so many areas of business and life-in-general.

Would be really embarrassing if the second time NATO invokes Article 5 would be in response to actions taken by a Founding Member...

Watched this last night. *Amazing* video and crafting. I learned so much about painting props I’m planning for my TTRPGs. Enjoy your January and I look forward to seeing your content in β€˜26.

That small sonic boom you just heard was me hitting the subscribe button in my pod catcher that fast. :-)

I would translate it as β€œI have no idea how firearms actually work but want to attract an ammosexual partner via this post”….

Little of the column labeled β€œAlpha Males who spend too much for awful coffee brewed by ex-Dunkin employees” and a little of the column labeled β€œOvercompensating For A Failed Life Using Firearms”. At least at the outlet near me.

Wait til you see the chuds who are regulars at their retail outlets…. It’s…mind-boggling.

They are, in fact, some of the easiest to run I know of. Gems of playability and GM-ability.

Depending on where the Coinstar is they take, IIRC, 7-11%...less if you are donating it to their charity.

My credit union does it for free once per month per customer.

Unless you've got A LOT of coins driving to your bank probably doesn't make $ sense.

I have quite literally stopped playing with/GMing folks like this.

The whole point of a TTRPG is to be out on the edge and explore stuff the Player would/could never do.

Fortunately my current players trust me and we have exciting adventures that everyone enjoys.
