    you're supposed to do that shit because its the right thing to do, not so people will fellate you about how great you are at presenting not-completely-racist material


    also, that doesn't at all address the fundamental point about how myopic it is to have that discussion without anyone who isn't a greying white guy present

    I guess for me it depends on what the point of that interview is.

    If it's just a general question of how they, as show runners, work to ensure that minorities and other cultural groups are represented well, then it's fine to have them as they are show runners.

    Of course the answer would be hire a talented and diverse cast and crew (and listen to them), so it'll be a really short panel.

    clint eastwood, as terrible an example of a person as he can be at his worst, is actually really good at this thing


    and then he doesn't go off and hot dog about what a not-racist he is afterwards, because expecting a big pat on the back afterward kind of defeats the point

    It did not seem like they were trying to come off as self congratulatory or superior, and looking for the worst in people because they're privileged and talk about something adjacent to minority issues is a good way to make allies go "well fuck you, too!"

    good for them

    @SniperGuy

    Okay! Got it.

    First off, Active Directory really does benefit from a basic understanding of TCP/IP networks. A lot of Active Directory "problems" are actually networking problems - like a client can't reach a DNS server, for instance. That doesn't mean you need to be able to configure a Cisco router from scratch or anything, but you should be able to talk about subnets and traceroute intelligently.

    I'm not going to recommend any specific books, but look into books geared towards the following certification tests, in the following order:

    CompTIA Network+
    (Optional) Microsoft 740: Installation of Windows Server 2016
    Microsoft 741: Networking with Windows Server 2016
    Microsoft 742: Identity with Windows Server 2016

    Regarding Microsoft 740: study this if you want to get your MCSA. The 740 covers how to install Windows Server, which isn't that different from installing Windows 10. It also deals with SANs and Windows Containers which are outside the scope of what you want to learn about.

    I'm a huge proponent of hands-on work. Some more questions related to setting up a test lab:

    1) Do you have a decent computer: say, Core i3 or i5, 16 Gb RAM or more, 1 TB or more free storage space?
    2) Do you have a second computer that you can dedicate to self-education and fucking around?
    3) Do you have access to any spare equipment? Even a small switch or spare DD-WRT router?

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    Heh. I once made some comic strips that was basically "Dilbert, but with med students" (which is basically what this comic is, but for PhD students). It was horrible, and I wish I could bury it forever in the vault where they have the Ark of the Covenant, never to be seen again.

    Man, there's really nothing to do in Indiana but draw shitty comic strips and be raging Christian fundamentalists, is there?

    So the song establishes that Santa:

    -Sees you when you're sleeping
    -Knows when you're awake
    -Knows when you've been bad or good

    There's no mention of him monitoring you while awake, where you actually perform nice or naughty acts. Therefore we are forced to assume he just knows if you've been bad or good. He also simply knows when you're awake, so he also knows when you're asleep. Conclusion?

    Santa watches you sleep because he likes to.

    I'm a huge proponent of hands-on work. Some more questions related to setting up a test lab:

    1) Do you have a decent computer: say, Core i3 or i5, 16 Gb RAM or more, 1 TB or more free storage space?
    2) Do you have a second computer that you can dedicate to self-education and fucking around?
    3) Do you have access to any spare equipment? Even a small switch or spare DD-WRT router?

    My personal PC is very good, i7 4770k, 16gb of ram, an SSD and two TB hard drives. Though maybe not 1 TB free at the moment.

    I have most of a second computer built I should finish up, (needs a PSU and a hard drive I think) plus as a teacher I have an entire computer lab I can work on that I have admin rights on. I'm not sure if I have a spare router, the one with dd-wrt that I have is being used, but I can free it up for a time if I need. And thank you! I will look into some books related to those subjects.
