Worst case. Inflation eats the mortgage until it’s just chump change.

Can we just say anyone with a pulse?

No one ever invades Poland. Ever.

They randomly started turning up in my music recommendations (I mostly listen to metal). I was so confused and so happy about it…

That makes me wonder. Can you escape it with a non-us keyboard?

Switch to Linux but you have major paradigm you need to pick. Do you want your computer to be bleeding edge but it be a hobby? Or do you want slightly older and rock solid? Or do you have an enterprise support contract? You only pick Ubuntu/RHEL if you have the last one.

Can we take a moment to ask ourselves - how the hell did piping to shell become ok? We have all kinds of method’s for deploying stuff - from the age old tarball to the new shinny flat pack. But somehow we also became ok with

Curl foo | sh

Oftentimes as root.

And sharks are older then the rings of Saturn.

Have you seen the windshield wiper being used yet? It looks like something out of a crappy ‘art’ film.

I beg to differ. Wood phone cases hide the bump by increasing the total thickness of the phone and making the back nice and flat.

But that’s just it. To the megalomaniacal, psychotic, fascist person id assume the dream of having you own personal household slaves, or factory slaves that you can ln explort and abuse you heartless content would be the creme de la creme of goals.

You know what I’m always surprised is missing everytime I see this list? Repealing the 14th amendment. They are so wrong on all of it but somehow they don’t go for that one.

Watching a cicd pipeline I just (hopefully) just finished debugging.

It’s software put on every machine so that the company can quickly isolate it if/when something bad happens (or it falls out of security compliance). To do this is requires a constant Internet connection, insanely high privileges on the machine and frequent updates to be appraised of risks.

That risk update went off the rails and into the next state.

What about The Sound of Silence . I’m partial to Disturbed’s version, but the original by Simon and Garfunkel fits depending on the mood.

But it was not filmed.

NATO is a defence alliance, the world bank was made to rebuild Europe, the IMF was designed to keep currencies of members stable, and the EU was made to keep France and Germany (and later Italy) from killing each other again in 20 years (believe it or not it’s hard to go to war with your trading partner). Taken together they are the core institutions responsible for the relative safety of the entire western hemisphere in the wake of WW2.

Between my wife and I we make a little over 200k USD a year.

I do not own the fruit of my labor. If I am unemployed for an extended period of time I will lose my home. Sure I am not struggling to pay my bills (for now, but I could be hot with a layoff at any time), and sure the numbers that flow through my bank account are unmanageable for a lot of people. But at the end of the day I have a lot more on common with someone making federal minimum wage then I have with someone who owns the means of production.

Having taken a grand total of 30 seconds to glance at your post history - it’s due to the politely formal language you use. I’m going to guess one of the two things - English is not your primary language, and or your extremely well read in English literature.

To anyone reading this and not getting it. When your pet gets sick you take care of it (named special servers/other machines). When a cow in the feed lot gets sick you…replace it.
