I don't know what Game of Thrones is.... beyond it being a thing. I suppose I don't want to know. However, a couple of times recently, I've come across the phrase " it's a zero sum game" Now I've tried to figure this out, without success, anyone help  As for work, a good idea as long as you don't let it steal your soul. |

We all make rules for ourselves. It's these rules that help define who we are. So when we break those rules we risk losing ourselves and becoming something unknown. |

A zero sum game is one where the winner can only win if someone else loses and the wins and losses add up to zero. ie Poker. If you win the pot of £30 you are taking £30 from the other players, ie the wins and losses are equalised.
I also work in IT and I fucking LOVE it.
Chubbs. I have the CCNA 1 and 2 books and the CCNA Security (Cisco ASA) manual if you want to borrow them. And also shitloads of study guides and cheat sheets that you may find useful. PM me your email address and I'll send you the study guides. The books are actual physical books if you want to borrow them? Also sign up to the Cisco Learning Network, there are free courses and test exam papers available.
Anything specific you need help with, just ask.

Cheers. But why don't you have to contribute to the pot. It seems a funny game whereby you don't have to put in then clean out the others who have. A metaphor for neoliberal capitalism perhaps. |

Joining this forum is a lot like being a young keeper, on loan at a lower league team with a leaky defence. If you can handle the initial barrage, you'll come out stronger on the other side. |

Well, we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out
