Isn’t this the thread technical discussions of this kind of nerdliness usually wind up in, though?

Wouldn’t it be terrific if technical support exchanges between user and IT crew were in the interrogative tone? Could the user sound curious and eager to fix an issue other than typing in all caps “HELP ME!!!” or “linux mint fail/epic suck!” and the IT crew member appear less dismissive and haughty, and be at less risk of offering procedures that have already been tried with no success, or implying the user is a complete idiot?
May I share that IT people in my experience are more likely to use a script that works for most people, and more commonly complain about vacant-headed users, than read the user’s fully documented issue of operating system, browser and edition, graphics/sound/network cards, error code output, steps taken to replicate the error, and expected behavior or output, as if the user had had some Quality Assurance exposure? Was I wrong to think that all IT helpdesk personnel would welcome as much user-supplied information as possible, and read fully the detailed issue twice, before embarking on a labyrinthine exchange of cryptic sentence fragments?
Can I just say that my problems with Linux Mint are overall handled by community members possessing patience, altruism and tenacity? And that I give them as much info as I know to to help them solve in the shortest possible time frame to aid other people, because my preferred outcome is that both parties arrive at a solution as fast and complete as possible, because my mind is tired and lazy and there might be even more desperate users than I out there? Can I say also I check forums and Stack Overflow at least three times before pulling at my hair and making questionful rants?

Is it a good thing that Trump is good for collecting “great reply” badges?
Wouldn’t it be nice to get those badges for posts on nice things?

Bruce Arena back? Sigi Schmid?

Not an Arena fan either, he’s a little too grumpy without the win record that should come with the attitude, you know?
Schmid I like for younger players, the U-23 team he’d shine at, his last season at Seattle was, ah, “impossibly bad” the correct phrase?
I’d probably pull from a college program at this point, Todd Yeagley of Indiana or someone like that, have you noticed when there’s a non-US coach in the US they don’t really understand the weird issues of the US being so large and MLS’ oddities?
