  • Personality, presence and confidence

    Natural self confidence, but NOT an arrogant selfish confidence.

    Some people naturally have confidence and presence and some people need to build it as a skill.

    I know guys and gals with little to no knowledge or skill build up careers because they just knew how to talk and connect to people.

    I also know guys and gals with years of education and degrees but have little to no way of politely or easily getting along with people.

    It’s no wonder our prehistoric ancestors went wandering around hooting, hollering, randomly screaming and yelling all the time. They kept hearing all these voices from the future asking them questions like “why is my life bad”, “how do I make her love me”, “how do we find the vietcong”, “why is America fighting this war”, “will putin start nuclear war”, “when will Jesus return” …




  • I’ve been on Linux for about 15 years now … I’m no pro and I’ve never really advanced in anything with the terminal

    I tried doing stuff years ago but then I came at a crossroad … either spend my life learning the dark arts of the terminal and all the details of how every major system works … reinstall every time I have a new problem that I caused … or just leave everything alone and never tweak or adjust anything.

    For the past few years, I just install the latest stable version of anything I use and never bother touching or tweaking anything … never had a problem since.



  • In that same vein of logic … they should name the Highway Construction Worker as our Provincial Animal at this point.

    If only we could come up with a new more modern way of transporting heavy goods … like mass transports … using only one giant powerful engine … with trailers of goods all tied together by the dozens … on a sturdy road … maybe made of iron … we could build these roads specifically just for these massive transports, separate from the public to keep people safe and save our roads from damage.


  • Whoops … wrong thread (I am rewording my original response to this)

    Trucks gained all importance because it meant it all consumed more oil and gas instead of saving energy by having trains. Why would corporations spend tens of thousands on fuel for a train pulling tons of material across the country when they could spend billions and billions of endless fuel on millions of transport trucks destroying roads made of oil and asphalt that have to be repaired on an annual basis?


  • I would join the same protest… but then later that week I’d join the next protest demanding they fix the road I just asked them not to work on.

    It’s frustrating in northern Ontario because the combination of cold winters and lots and lots of heavy transport trucks every day means that our roads are no good after about four years.

    Which means we only have two highway seasons …
