This is the way

Had a real hard time in life prior to the military.

Understanding the chain of command and where I fit within it was one of the most valuable things I learned.

Keep it professional and tight when the HMFIC is in the room, assume every microphone is live, and that there is someone you didn't notice in earshot.

When with your small crew you can be a bit looser, but always keep it professional and pleasent.

The resource I was talking about was you, not the JSON. Pulling your time away to fix it. That has to be coordinate a level above unless both teams have the same management.

If not you may your work impacted by it, as they say, cover your ass.

An extended mini ramp w some features I could build myself.

A pump track that would be any fun and not be totaly dangerous sounds like a massive project.

Can you put an ingest test on your systems?

Throw a flag when the JSON breaks etc and track those metrics.

If they are breaking production services, they sure wouldn't last long on any of the teams I work with.

This 100% is a management issue, both their boss, and yours.

If resources are going from one team to another, and they have separate management, that damn well better be coordinated through your boss. At the very least C.C. at the start and end of the project.

I'm all for helping out another team, that's what you do, but sounds more like constantly cleaning up their messes.

As an old and broken skateboarder, I would love nothing more than a pump track within driving distance.

There are some great parks, but nothing with enough flow that I can just carve around to work up a sweat without have to push or climb a ramp to drop in all the time.

Oh I know it has happened, and those type incidents are why the UCMJ now explicitly has the don't do illegal shit clause.

I was talking here to the 2k or so that deployed recently in LA.

No Marine obeyed an illegal order, and that's the whole point of this thread.

They were used in a very narrow scope as defined by law, protecting specific government buildings.

It was Trump being a bully and grandstanding, but other than the optics we're talking about, it was really a lame event.

The vast majority of the 2k Marines did what Marines always do when they don't have specific orders on a shit deployment, the sat around or caught up on rack time.

Not wringing my hands, in fact I never stated whether I was actually against Trump bombing cities, I just answered what was stopping him.

That was the question, and the answer is still the same.

As far as my lifting a finger? Well, short of the usual civic duties like voting and such, I'm not getting involved.

The chances of me personally firebombing anything is functionally 0.

I certianly expect someone else to handle this for me, the men and women of the US military who aren't going to a US city into fucking Dresden.

My suggestion was to rely on the mechanism which has handled this type of issue without fail since day one.

Yours is to encite random acts of partisan violence.

I'm going stick with my plan thanks.

Well, let's see.

It won't be his moral fiber.

It won't be China or Russia the only two military powers that have a chance to have any influence on CONUS affairs.

Maybe his desperate desire for public approval as I suspect major ordinance dropped on a US population center isn't going to poll well, but I'd hate to count on that.

Me? Stop the president from doing literally anything? You vastly over estimate my powers.

[–] Weirdfish@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (6 children)

If your point is that this mechanism won't work, then I'm assuming your point is that nothing can stop Trump.

Doesn't mean my answer was wrong or clueless, only that the means to stop him has failed.

If you think something else is stopping him, I'd be very curious what that might be.
