Yep.
have so many because my family, I grew up in Texas and a lot of our celebration, all of our celebrations are really around food. My grandmother making food and whether it's fried chicken or whatever it is, I remember my grandfather having these big mounds. He was a very, very skinny person, grew up very poor. But as an adult, he just loved to eat. So it was always just this big mound of food.
We had more food than we could ever eat in a lifetime. Every time we got together, it was always around food. And that's the way The irony of what you just said, right, is that food memory. We all have those food memories. Now, maybe the food that we bring is different because of where I grew up or where you grew up or what country you're from or whatever.
But I think we all tie back to breaking bread together, right? And some of the best relationships, the best nights out at wherever, when I go out with my wife, the best meals that we've ever had. I think they would not be quite as good if they weren't with her. It's the company that you're with.
Yes, the food's great, but if you have great food and horrible companionship, all those things are linked together. So it's not going to be that great and memorable of a meal, but if you're with great
the people that you're with are amazing, the food can be mediocre and it's gonna be the most memorable time that you have and you're gonna be like, oh yeah, we had this and it was a really good burger or cake or whatever the thing is because you're there together.
It's part of human nature that we have all of these things and that we tie it all around the campfire and cooking and eating food together. It goes back to the beginning of time.
Margarine, a lot of margarine.
Oh, yes. Too much.
But even today, like my kid wins, you know, gets a trophy or whatever. We're celebrating with food. Like, let's get you ice cream. Let's celebrate with ice cream. Let's get you a cookie, like all those types of things. And we try not to go too much because, you know, we don't want them to be unhealthy. But at the same time, it's fun. It's memorable. They enjoy it.
Like we we get joy from this food and we take it for granted, especially in America, where we have unlimited amounts of food. If I want anything, I go to the grocery store and they have anything I want. You like curry, you know, Sushi, like you can literally go to your grocery store and get sushi. Is it the best? No, but it's pretty darn good.
Comparatively speaking, think about 200 years ago trying to get sushi in the middle of the country. Like it wouldn't have happened.
100%. Honestly, I think we should all put on the cape, right? I think it's everybody's duty to do your part in whatever small way that is, right? The people part of that is we all have a calling to do something and each person's little contribution in stopping and saying things and raising your hand and not just, oh, well, he's smarter than me. He's been here longer than me.
I'm not going to say anything. No, raise your hand, like voice that concern, bring that thing up, you know, bring, you know, push that agenda or idea ahead because it matters. In the grand scheme of things, it takes us all to challenge, you know, evil prevails when good men do nothing, right? It's really that simple of we have to stand up and say, no, that's not okay.
Like we have to stand up, even when nobody else in the room is going to agree with you. I don't care. Stand up and say it.
Yep. And my biggest concern with the whole CrowdStrike issue is that I think from what I've seen, I think a lot, and from my experience, a lot of these folks are going to be pointing the finger at CrowdStrike as a company and looking at, hey, this is what you did wrong.
And I'm not saying there is no blame because in this, it's just like, you know, anything there's blame, there's plenty of blame to go around, but that's not going to solve anything. It At the end of the day, yes, there was a misconfiguration. They pushed out something.
But ultimately, the bigger problem was, is that these companies just randomly pushed it across their entire organization without testing. Like in an OT environment, especially in a power plant environment or any of these critical infrastructure, I would never just blind. I don't care if it's been tested 50 times before.
I'm going to push it to one system, make sure that it comes back up, and then I'll push it to a second one and make sure that one comes back up. And then I'll push it to a third one. It's a pain in the butt and it takes longer.
But it's what I'm going to do because I've seen the bad side of this for the past 20 years. This is not the first time I've gotten a blue screen because of an update. So I'm not going to get burned by that again. It won't be the last time either. It won't. And it's not CrowdStrike's fault.
