Absolutely will open up doors. Japan, interesting, never been there but planning to visit some day. I am too settled/comfortable/lazy/married/old to gather up and move anywhere, but maybe I will try to spend summers in the EU in a few years when I slow down from work.

I was living in Okinawa ...

It is a very good thing that you are following up on this path, and you're consistent. Congrats on taking the test! Getting one of those security certs will definitely make you more valuable in any corporate/government setting. Do you use this knowledge in your current job, or what's next?

I have a 2020 Tesla Model 3 Performance.

It's an absolute blast. 0-60 in like 3.2 seconds). Really throws you back into the seat. Handles well. The ride is a bit stiff but I don't mind that in a sportier car.
The software is amazing, the over-the-air updates are really nice. Fantastic daily driver ...

I'm very interest in what DOGE can do to slow the bleeding in regards to spending.
That to me is one of the most important things that needs to be addressed.

Follow up. I also passed ENARSI in September. So I got my CCNP Enterprise knocked out.
Thinking of doing CyberOps or CCNP Security next.

ENARSI was no joke. That was the hardest Cisco test I've ever taken.

FunK

Congrats.

Glad that you've kept it online all these years.

FunK

Don't get me wrong, the stuff on the exam was taught in the materials. But the troubleshooting labs in the materials were much more basic. Perhaps it was nerves or anxiety but the bugs I found on the exam were tougher. The course's practice labs were mostly easy as pie.

FunK

Well, I went ahead and took the ENARSI exam. I didn't manage my time well at all. Spent over 20 mins on the first lab and pretty much sealed my fate. I ended up failing it. But that's to be expected. I tried to take it after only a month of studying and I've been out of the networking game for over ...

It's supposed to. We'll see how good the bump is when I finish the cert.

FunK

Passed CCNA in Feb and ENCOR in March. Going to take the ENARSI exam, hopefully toward the end of this month.
It's been a hell of a lot of studying. Almost there. One more test and I'll have CCNP knocked out.

Happy Birthday!

I charge mine off a standard wall socket (220v) and that handles 99% of our charging. I don't even have the upgraded home charger. For road trips we use the supercharger network, which is great.

Prices will continue to drop. I'd hold out as well for a bit. I wouldn't buy an EV other than a Tesla though, that's for sure.
Definitely fun and the tech is great.

FunK

I bought a Tesla Model 3 Performance. Love that little beast of a machine.

Bet y'all never thought I'd be the guy doing that.

But it is a fantastic little car and the acceleration is nuts. Handles really well and obviously the tech is great.
Y'all might not know that I'm in Germany now (after 12 ...

So basically, had we not taken the USD off of the gold standard, we would have choked off useless government and our dollars would be worth the same as they were in the 1970s. Oh gee! Granted, we would need to spend more but on that system, we would have bought more gold to back the dollar. Imagine ...

Happy Birthday, ya old Goat.

Start from the day we met. Conclude with why we broke up.

I only use Brave and I don't get interrupted with ads. It's a fantastic product and worth it's weight in gold.

It worked. Thanks Philip!

So what's the news around these parts? I see lots of names I remember but not too many posting lately. I hope everyone is still doing well but I suspect some long-time members are no longer with us and that makes me feel pretty sad.

If anyone reading this remembers me and ...

FunK

I have to side with Philip on this one.

I think using the criteria that the majority of the deaths include underlying conditions and the rest of us have nothing to worry about just doesn't hold up. I guess my knee-jerk reaction to that would be... "If you're really not that worried why not go ...

FunK

Hi Funk :)

I am not convinced. There is always a difference between deaths caused by a virus itself, and virus-related deaths.

The global annual respiratory deaths associated with influenza (the common flu) are an estimated average of 389,000 people, 67% of them are people 65 and older.
The ...

My 2 cents

While covid is a real virus and a real threat, it has been hyped into something that it is not.
The media reported stats and numbers are skewed and false.

The CDC just released their latest fatality report. For weeks 2/1/20 through 8/22/20 in the US, The CDC reports "For 6% of the ...

FunK

Once every 10 years of so sounds about right.

Greetings old timers. Hope all is well with you and yours. I'm still kickin'.

WOW, I am so sad to hear this... :cry:

I don't post often, however I do try to keep an eye on the forums and always enjoyed his informative posts as well as the jokes...

RIP Larry...

Thanks Terry for telling us. I was thinking of you the other day and wanted to PM Larry to ask him about you ...

I believe he said to fire it in the air to scare them away. No?

From what I experienced. Protocols, have to know what each one does and how it's done, sometimes got to know what it stands for.

Also have to remember the way a MAC address is formatted.. or was that a IPv6 IP...
