Oh yeah, we've talked about that, and she regrets it a lot.
She regrets not spending more time in the gym so she could have maintained her grip...

The poms are the same, they use metric for most things but stil use imperial for measuring car speeds / speed limits (and a few other things like beer and milk volumes).
I think Australia and New Zealand are the only 2 countries that migrated from imperial to metric fully.
Imperial is used for constructions in Canada - I suspects it makes it easier to share material between Canada and the States.
It is also used for height and weight - again, I suspect it would be different if Canada wasn’t just next to the US.
Would be so much easier if everything was just Metric! That said, the important thing is that the unit is recognized and standard. Otherwise, it makes commerce much more complicated…

Not to be serious given the topic of this thread, but. . . I have been a member of this forum now for just short of 3 years (more if you include my substantial lurking time, lol). In this time, I have learned so much from everyone and continue to enjoy everyone’s contributions to the community, both regarding Hubitat and home automation as well as other off topic conversations such as this particular thread!
In all my years here, I have very very very rarely run into people trolling or otherwise being argumentative (just because). In the 3 yrs, I probably only witnessed this 2-3 times at most, the last one being just recently where many of our most well respected members who contribute tremendously to our community were attacked by someone for just making some suggestions that did not set well with the troller’s “opinion”.
Now for the humorous part. . .
For those trolls, I have a couple of humorous sayings that may be applicable:
- “Opinions are like a$$holez, everyone has one, but it does not mean that everyone wants to hear YOURS”
- “You are entitled to your own OPINION, but you are not entitled to your own FACTS”
If others have any other similar sayings, I’d like to add them to my repertoire. TIA

Maybe over the 4th of July weekend I should start cleaning up the network racks:

If I had to go install into something like that I'd probably have a stroke.

I'm cleaning up several server closets and rooms right now on client sites (I'm a network engineer) .... Not happy...

That was then migrated to this Power9 and a 2U FlashSystem. This will probably get replaced Q1 2024.

I recently completed a SAN Fabric migration from 9513's to 9396 and 9250 (FCIP) for a client. Thankfully, I was remote only and IBM did all the physical in one of their NY Colo.
First time I can ever recall having to actually do a switch reload (per TAC) to fix an issue (FCIP tunnels would not come up). This was after upgrading the NXOS. Project I took over from a coworker that got let go. Ugh. What a dumpster fire that one was.
I also do Brocade fabrics, IBM Power and Storage.
Said coworker also left me with an in-flight Brocade migration that was a trainwreck as well.
To give you an idea about when I last had my hands on an ibm, it was a 3090

When I did some consulting work for Comcast out in their NJ head we were redoing the entire network rack for audio / video / cable box management networks. We weren't allowed to take photo's of the finished product because back then that was considered the "Family Jewels" of their service. Our location won a award for the quality of work that went into the layout of the racks, the coloring and cable management, and efficient use of space. I hated cutting over 5k custom cables and they weren't just Ethernet, audio, video, microphones everthing was patchable to the equipment. The entire studio complex also was 100% software controlled for A/V.
At my age today I don't think I would ever survive a project of that size again.

Very much the same base hardware as the original AS/400 models (Est 1988) until the RS/6000 and AS/400 merged to a common (PowerPC) hardware platform in 2008. IBM used those book style cards across many platforms. I seem to recall the ZIF cards were used in some models as well.
