Using a knife and fork: knife in the left hand.

Using a knife only: right hand.

No you can’t!

MD was superior to CD from a portability point of view, especially in personal players like the Walkman or car stereos.

I had a MD car stereo in around 1997. CD quality sound, without the jumping of a CD every time you hit a pothole.

I already had dozens of reasons to never buy a Jeep. This is just the cherry on a shitty cake.

I work on PON and XGPON. Officially we work on a -25dB maximum, but I’ve seen circuits stable at around 30dB.

It’s surprising how many bad splices you can ignore before it gets problematic.

-18.5dB is going to limit you to either a really good fibre path, or a really short one. Unless you have options with long-range SFPs? The constant progress keeps my job interesting at least.

This is for PON technology. 1 fibre can be split 32-ways to feed, you guessed it, 32 customers. 50g over a fibre that is split 32-ways with a minimum of 15db loss is impressive.

I guarantee those 100gbps circuits are a single fibre all the way from the provider to the customer. And they are expensive, very expensive.

What a narc

Dunno, OP sounds kinda kinky.

Yeh, me. I don’t really think in words. More like visualisations of what I’m doing, have been doing, or are going to do.

Part of my job (fibre project engineer) is to oversee the building of fibre optic spine cables. Think of an 864 fibre cable snaking it’s way through town with various drop off nodes for local access networks to be built.

I also oversee the termination of the cable in the exchange, and the testing of the spine to make sure it’s within loss limits and that the right fibres are going to the right nodes.

I will often put a minor fault on in the exchange to see if the guys doing the testing pick up on the issue and report it back to me. Maybe a slightly dislodged connector, or fibre 275 crossed with fibre 276, for example.

Most of the time, the guys doing the testing will pickup on the issue and resolve it report it back to me. If it doesn’t get picked up on, I’ll make sure I keep a closer eye on the build crew.

Yep. Look after your teeth folks.
