This place has great amboolance!
When I was an EMT in SW Michigan, we had a woman in our crew that was from the south somewhere.
She referred to them as an 'amblax'.

Interesting !
I`m a born and raised Floridian for my currently 69 yrs. and never omitted the "U" when pronouncing Ambulance, or inserted a "R" when pronouncing washing, or washer, though have heard that used by a occasional Georgian small town hick from the back woods up there, that I encountered !
My born, raised in, and GA. Tech educated father, would not allowed me to, at least in his presence, as he was a stickler for doing all things correctly.
i worked with a guy that was from boston and he told me once to "go get the cot"
i'm like, "i'm not tired"
what he really wanted was the cart
i used to insert an "r" in wash alot, i try not to do it anymore.

Pretty sure my dad's and his identical twin brother's mispronunciations were on purpose 'cause their parents, native North Carolinians, diction was spot on IIRC.

Yep, my engineer dad would occasionally do the same as a jest, or jab, but we, but my 2 older sisters, and myself were very aware that he was joking around when he did because of the nature of the conversational subject, and the twinkle in his eye.

Firewall OS upgrades. Been at it since 9 PM, and it's getting close to 4 AM. One more set to go. Shouldn't take too long. Worked 8-9 hours during the day yesterday.
More to do at 4 PM. Kinda wrecks your weekend. Taking Monday off.
I have several more weeks of this.

Cisco FP?
We have firewalls from all four of the major firewall vendors in our environment. Just rotated out Junipers, but I don't consider them one of the major vendors. I do like their firewalls, however.
They all have their strengths and weaknesses, of course, but I see a lot of buggy software being released, and when you have a large number of firewalls, that's a problem.
And with the advent of firewalls being not so much packet filters, but rather a development stack of software that just happens to have the ability to filter traffic, you get the added burden of app server, database (not so much an issue) and a range of software that's know for rotating through the vulnerability circus so you're forced to upgrade far more often.
Then there's the thing about not installing the latest and greatest for fear of bugs.
