Fucking damnit... looks like the evap coil on our fridge went boom.... it is not cooling below 60F and there is a ton of water and condensation
Atleast all the meat is taken care of, stuffed in cooler with ice, same with fresh veggies meant for this week.
Have a tech that will be coming out to look at it tomorrow.. hopefully shit won't be too pricey.
@kelseyhusky It gets better!
re: Self Improvement is a Bitch
That's pretty much where I'm at... at lease in the US.. both sides are full of shit and it is much easier to continue polarizing their bases rather than addressing a basic question like "How to do we heal?" or "How do we resolve these differences?"
I focus on what I can do in my own spaces and areas of influence rather than the shit storm going on else where.
@mawr I hate that...
Things I wish people would tell me:
It's okay to be queer and not be some counter-cultural revolutionary. It doesn't invalidate you or make you any less of who you are, and it doesn't mean you don't belong. It's okay to just be who you are - and if that means just living your life and trying to find peace, that's perfectly acceptable.
Decided to see what would happen if I trained a neural net to write names for self-aware AIs.
May I present: GPT-2 trained on AI names from Iain M. Banks's Culture novels

@kelseyhusky Fucking awesome!
re: US Politics: Nancy Pelosi
@mawr 100% with you there... at least Fiensthief is gone.
Elsewhere, #HugATailDay is a thing on Fridays. If you need a kobold tail to hug or a kobold hugging your tail, just ask!
re: Gardening
@Oneironott That is awesome!
Kill Staging/DevOps
Me.. sitting in a CI/CD transition meeting with one of the teams my team supports.. half awake as they discuss all this effort to bring parity to staging (because they don't do parallel stacks in staging but we do in prod for them)
"Here me out... OR YOU COULD JUST DO IT IN PROD!"
"What?! Do it in prod? But... testing?!"
"Do it in prod! After all last deployment that we just rolled back before this meeting tested perfectly in staging but because of factors we literally could not replicate anywhere but PROD.. it failed. So... you should just do it LIVE but you know.. with feature flags, incremental roll out and parallel stacks so we can fail back to known good builds... which we already do.. in PROD!"
My boss in a private message: "Are you upset at me for scheduling this meeting at 8am?"
Me: "Only slightly... but I am 100% serious about killing their Staging instead of having them waste a bunch of time trying to replicate what they have already built in Prod.."
TL;DR
DO IT LIVE, DO IT IN PROD (Assuming you trust your Devs.. if not.. well.. shit)
re: Work, Guns, team building
@mawr Surprised the hell out of me. Granted I had a lot of trouble with hitting things with a 20g during the warm up... and then moved over to a 12g and was fine... though my shoulder is sore.
Work, Guns, team building
So I got dragged to "Sporting Clays" as a team building exercise at work.
After a practice round... I hit 22 of 25 shots right handed and 6/10 left handed shots because my shoulder was hurting and my boss dared me to do it.
I've not shot a shotgun in probably 4 years... and shot clays in 15

@kelseyhusky Ooof... thanks for keeping the cloud running so I don't have to do the same thing :(
Shape and form may vary but the pattern of information remains consistent across most known platforms and vessels. Accounting for unknown hosts remains irksome.
