Supposedly the money collected when the oil is sold goes to one of Trump’s personal accounts in a Qatar bank. No one involved in the process thinks that is a bad idea.

Probably suspended because of the Union.

Real Men are stronger than the Sun too, that is why they don’t need sunblock.

John Wayne never needed math. Stereotypical math geeks are not going to have the big 6-gun and machismo. That is all you need to solve any problem the US might face.

Most servers do not need a fancy user interface. They don’t have monitors attached to them. Most of the other OSes you listed come bundled with a ton of user experience software along with the expectation a human will directly interact with them.

Servers are typically deployed and managed with automation, by the thousands. Lean. Simple. Secure. Tuned for their specific purpose. This is a lot easier to do with Linux than an all purpose general use personal computing platform.

It took us 2 years before our first kid would go to sleep and stay asleep most of the night.

Don’t worry, we will fork over 10x that in 20 years when we have to clean up all of the obsolete and abandoned data centers. There is no way any company is going to do that themselves.

Earth days?

Oil.

Why is murder in quotes?

Then let the AI vote too.

All I can think of is The Vasa, which suffered from similar fools and a similar fate.

“You’re absolutely right!”

The defense contractor doesn’t really care if they are useless as long as they can drag out the construction contracts for decades and keep the gravy train flowing.

When will it have sex with your spouse so you don’t have to? How soon before we have no reason to exist at all?

There is no way, if he became president, that JD would resign for anyone. He is worshipping Trumo because he likes him, but for the power. If he already had the power, DJT would be sidelined tout suite.

Ascii art would likely be smaller.

WRT leftover money: If they are career politicians, they’ll bank most of it for their next run. Often they’ll throw fancy parties, have important campaign wrap up meetings in very expensive restaurants or strip joints, pay their spouses crazy consulting fees, and find other ways to keep what is left.

Snake Oil sales will improve.

It doesn’t hurt to ask. Before you do, think about how you will handle possible rejection. What is your next step if they say “not yet”? Will you quit on the spot? Will you try to find out why and focus on resolving any shortcomings they highlight? Will you slog on with the rate race and ask again in 6 months?

Besides the title, why do you want the promotion? Is it the increased responsibility? The money? The challenge? To impress your parents? As a reward for your hard work so far?

Lastly, expertise in a niche does not always translate into broader expertise and experience in a field that could make it easier to find new employment or implement a career refresh. The title might not be as helpful as you hope unless you plan on staying in that niche. And of course, locking in a specialization may not mean changing jobs changes much.

These are just things to ponder. There are no wrong answers. If you asked me for the promotion, as your boss, I’d probably ask you these questions before going to bat to get you the title upgrade.
