If you want to get an idea of a friend’s temperament, ethics, and personal elegance, you need to look at him under the tests of severe circumstances, not under the regular rosy glow of daily life. Can you assess the danger a criminal poses by examining only what he does on an <i>ordinary day?</i> Can we understand health without considering wild diseases and epidemics?

Inside the Red Head's Head<p><strong>About to Go&nbsp;Home</strong></p><p>It is silly. I love to travel. I enjoy staying in hotels. I love the city of Boston. Why then did spending three nights in a hotel in Boston start to bum me out? It was nice. It was fun. It was a goofy little excursion away from the norm.</p><p>Why then, with all the things that I enjoyed about the entire situation, does the idea of being able to go home after work tonight fill me up with happiness? My wife and I will be home together. We’ll eat dinner together at home. We’ll sack out on the couch after dinner and watch TV in our living room at home. We’ll sleep in our own bed tonight. We’ll wake up at home tomorrow and be back on our regular, normal daily routine.</p><p>I love to travel. I love staying in hotels. I love being in the city of Boston. I guess I just love being at home with Jen more. When you look at it that way, it’s not even a little bit surprising.</p><p>Also, there are cats at home when there were no cats in the hotel. That’s gotta count for something too, right?</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/back-home/" target="_blank">#backHome</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/boston/" target="_blank">#Boston</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/boston-massachusetts/" target="_blank">#bostonMassachusetts</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/cats/" target="_blank">#Cats</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/family/" target="_blank">#Family</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/home/" target="_blank">#home</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/hotel/" target="_blank">#hotel</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/jen/" target="_blank">#Jen</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/normal-behavior/" target="_blank">#normalBehavior</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/normal-routine/" target="_blank">#normalRoutine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/normality/" target="_blank">#normality</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/our-home/" target="_blank">#ourHome</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/our-house/" target="_blank">#ourHouse</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/routine/" target="_blank">#routine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/spouse/" target="_blank">#spouse</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/travel/" target="_blank">#Travel</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/wife/" target="_blank">#wife</a></p>

William Lindsey :toad:<p>Robert Reich discusses how Fairbanks disease, which affects bone growth and has caused him to be very short, has affected his life. The genetic odds of passing on the condition to children are slim, so he married and has had sons who turned out normal.</p><p>Then he writes,</p><p>&quot;But what’s &#39;normal&#39; anyway?

You also tell system tools generally what to launch when (if) that user needs to use a shell. It does NOT control authentication.<br />The “-N” tells ssh you don’t need any process on the other end (other than sshd.)<br /><a href="https://toad.social/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>infosec</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/normality" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>normality</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ssh" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ssh</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/login" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>login</span></a></p>
