When people are sending their pox, they’re not sending their best pox. They’re sending small pox, chicken pox. Can you believe that? Chick pox! And now the price is eggs so high because of all the chickens with the pox.

“But her emails!”

Why are they spending billions on this?

Greed.

I would focus on having a solid backup strategy. Segmenting applications on different VM’s makes more sense in a data center when one application can serve an entire organization. For your personal workstation, it’s just going to add a lot of unnecessary overhead.

This reminds me of a buddy I used to have. He wore jackets exactly like this and even had two little dogs. He was a Vietnam vet and did, in fact, kill a whole bunch of people during the war. Something he never forgave himself for.

One time I asked him what that was like. He thought for a minute and said, “When you have your weapon trained on someone, for a split second you have the power of God in your hands. You get to decide if that person lives or dies. Nobody should have that kind of power.”

He was a character but a good dude overall.

Like a Peacock with glass packs.

Oh that’s not new. I worked for a small utility (7 locations, < 300 employees). I was based at corporate but expected to routinely make visits to the other facilities. One time the CEO happened to be at an office the same day I was. No sooner had he walked out the door when four other people stuck their heads in the office I was working in to ask, “Who was that?”

They genuinely had no idea who the guy was. Not surprising though. He was the type of executive who thought his employees did not deserve the privilege of his attention for any reason. If you wanted to talk to him, you had to basically ask for the privilege of being summoned to his office. If he didn’t like what you had to say, you would be written up.

The people who “lead” (if you can call it leading) like that have no business being in leadership positions.

Remember when the Governor of Missouri tried to have a guy arrested for notifying the state of Missouri that they had a breach in one of the state websites, making peoples PII publicly visible?

That’s the kind of idiots you’re dealing with here. “We added you to a group chat by mistake and it’s all YOUR fault.”

Can’t wait for Gavin Newsom to decide it’s his turn next, despite having less chance of winning than a snowball has of not vaporizing in hell.

The US is currently shooting itself in the face and Russia is embroiled in a war that it can’t actually win.

All China has to do to reap the benefits is not interrupt.

How’s the humidity where you live? If you live in a dry climate, a swamp cooler might be a good option.

If you live in a humid climate, window units or portable AC’s are better than nothing. A long time ago, the only AC I had was a window unit in my bedroom. It was miserable overall but at least I had someplace I could go to stay cool and sleep comfortably at night.

An outcome which Johnson himself accurately predicted.

Oh yeah. Fire the team responsible for pen testing. That’s real smart.

Take a car that’s stuck in reverse, slap a 454 Chevy big block in it. You’ll have a car that still drives the wrong way; but faster.

In posts on X following the incident, Tesla CEO Elon Musk called the incidents “terrorism” and said the company “just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks.”

OK buddy.

My tired brain read your comment as “shitpost economy” and somehow that still made sense to me.

Personally, I prefer Coors Light.

Still waiting for healthcare to get “fixed” almost 10 years later.
