What is the dumbest criticism you’ve ever received at work.
That I was solving and closing helpdesk tickets too fast and making the other techs look bad. Closed sixty tickets the next day, and I was not cherry-picking the easiest issues either. The next-nearest tech closed 18.
It’s not my problem if the other people are slow as hell.
Is it possible to attain a physique like Alan Ritchson from Reacher without steroids?
Yes, for a short time, but you must have the genetics to do so. Henry Cavill does not do any form of steroids and has a great physique — and also exceptional genes. Even without that genetic advantage, though, you can still look quite good. Hollywood bodies are never quite real, however, absent even steroids. For any shirtless scene in an action movie, the male leads are dehydrated and have usually done a quick workout beforehand to make their muscles blood-filled.
About a year ago, my muscles were most impressive-looking after I was quite sick and lost some weight from not eating. That was despite me being weaker than normal. This comment is also correct.
If you gave me a month, I could look extremely shredded and lean. But it’s not sustainable and in fact actors do not sustain it. They plan for it and back off it when it’s not required for a scene as it is not healthy. Remember that anything you see on a screen is not reality, nor is it meant to be; films and shows are the collective dreams of our society.
I don’t use a lot of these tools where I work, but this is absolutely true.
Since the database is used by everyone, it becomes cared for by no one. Startups don’t have the luxury of a DBA, and everything owned by no one is owned by infrastructure eventually.
Anything that is too complex or doesn’t have an identified owner gets thrown over to infrastructure to manage and deal with. I’ve seen it happen over and over again. Often even if it has nothing at all to do with infrastructure (for instance, training). It’s such an annoying but incredibly-common aspect to working in my field.
