No, it’s not just Catholics who take communion.

Yeah, got the same email. Fortunately I already exported everything to .step files and am using Ondsel ES full-time for my designs.
This makes me glad I pirate their content. Cunts.
lol. Well played.
DCs do indirectly create/support a lot of jobs, though. Construction is an obvious one, but even running a DC requires lots of additional people that often aren't employed by the DC owner/operator.
I can absolutely attest to the fact that it takes even less than 20 directly-employed people to run an entire DC, including the racks of gear within it. But there are quite literally dozens and dozens more contractors and vendors involved in maintaining the facility and the equipment within them:
- Physical security
- Fire systems
- Building controls
- Electrical
- HV and LV can often be separate sets of skills/contractors
- Refrigeration
- Mechanical
- Critical mechanical - generators, etc
- Regular mechanical - electric gates,etc
- Plumbing and gasfitting
- Water experts (cooling towers, etc)
- Building maintenance contractors
- Gardeners
And the list goes on. My point is that DCs can absolutely be a significant driver of employment and economic activity, just not all directly.
For you, is it 'reG-eks' or 'reJ-eks'? I know it should absolutely be the former, but my brain tells me to say the latter when I read it.
One of my best mates is someone who I've worked with, at a few jobs, over the past 30 years. We met in our first ever technical support job then, over the following decades, kinda landed at the same places around the same time. At one point, I even hired him as a contractor into a team I was building.
We've helped each other move houses, we've been there for each other's weddings, and our kids have pretty much grown up together. We get together for pub meals and barbecues as often as we can - sometimes just he and I, sometimes with the wives and kids.
My point is, over those 30 or so years, we've discussed a lot about our respective histories, families, school mates, hobbies, etc. There's probably not much we haven't shared about our lives with each other.
Literally two weeks ago, he randomly sends me a picture of the back of a family photograph that was taken when he was a little kid. Had the name of the photographer and the photographer's phone number stamped on it.
Turns out my grandfather (a professional photog at one stage in his life) had been my mate's family's photographer all those years ago. Used to visit them once a year to take all the family photos. My mate remembers him quite well - just funny that we never connected the dots before now.
Yeah, now I have my own family and we do our own Christmas, it's shorts, thongs, BBQ, seafood and beer.
No - it's definitely Christmas in summer in Australia. But somehow my dear old Gran never got the memo, and insisted on making us sit down and sweat through a full roast Christmas lunch each year, sometimes in 40°C+ heat.
Seriously, fuck all these "subscription" ideas.
Why in the ever-loving fuck would I want to pay a subscription for a goddam computer mouse? Some techbro fuckwit is probably chest-bumping his own reflection in the mirror for coming up with this dumb idea.
Here's a novel idea to help you keep revenue going the right direction: try innovating something truly useful and new, rather than selling the same, regurgitated Hotel California bullshit to hapless users.
- About 1,400 movies: 6.7TB
- About 15,100 episodes: 10.9TB
Spread across a couple of NASes, each with 4 x 4TB drives in RAID5.
Honestly, I'm not sure. You might still be partly right, though.
The Anglican church originated from the Church of England which was created by (the formerly Catholic) Henry VIII, when the Pope wouldn't annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon.
Just evidence, as always, of religion being used to further a powerful person's agenda.
