They started installing poles along a main road near where we live and I’m not sure what the white antennas on them are for. Some of the poles have traffic cameras like the one in the picture but others don’t. They are spaced every half to one mile and have antennas on opposite sides, with what looks like a radio cabinet near the base. The antennas are all aligned along the road, pointing parallel to traffic. This is in southwest Pennsylvania.
I mean I’ve got my CCIE so I wouldn’t say that I’m only knowledgeable in one single fringe area, but go off anyway.
I know in the network and IT nerd arguments that you like to drag out the alphabet certs to wow each other with your, “I’m so smart” mic drops, but you should really lead with CCIE next time. And THEN follow up with the amount of on hands experience as your big finish rather than doing it the other way around. The problem is that laymen are going to look at the CCIE and think “wow you got a certificate, whooptydoo”. Most people are going to be much more impressed with the thousands of hours of experience over a certificate. I mean, you are already battling hard against the whole extreme pedantry, “douche bag dropping into a laymen’s conversation to brag about how much he knows and schooling everyone on how they are using the terms wrong” thing you are trying to do, so if you are going to try to impress us with how smart you are, you gotta cater to your audience better.
Fuck dude, I guess I hit a nerve there. I’m sorry I angered you so much.
Did that seem excessively rough? I got a bit of a stomach bug that gave me the ass squirts all morning, so I had a little too much time to myself while on the shitter. Sorry if I went too hard, I was actually just trying to razz you a bit.
But for real man, lead with the alphabet soup first, then follow with the experience. To anyone without a technical background, a cert just means your company paid for you to go to Vegas and spend a week at a luxury hotel.
