media politics, anger, Epstein, child SA mention 

Why are new articles about Epstein’s entanglement with the MIT Media Lab describing him as having been convicted of “a sex crime”? By American standards, “a sex crime” is masturbating on a bus. Let’s try “convicted of raping children” instead.

"Don't go near the castle, it is cursed," the people in the village said.
"In what way?"
"It traps you."
"How?"
"Most of us were passing through, like you; now we can't leave."
"Why?"
They conferred, then an elder spoke. "It has an amazing, huge library."
"I must see it!"
"Noo!"

Ambopteryx is a dinosaur with bat wings. Not a pterosaur either, but an actual dinosaur.

So basically, dragons actually existed on Earth, but they were only as big as sparrows.

One of the most disheartening things I ever learned about the tech industry was that the slap-dash rush-job hack patch scripts and cron jobs that I would only use in extreme emergencies as temporary stop-gap solutions are in reality what run the entire internet with very few exceptions :blobsweats:

Wee.... now I'm talking with Hashicorp sales rep because gods damnit their docs don't list the paid features for Terraform cloud and my boss has tasked me with creating a write up to given to our new VP of Operations in order to convince people to pay for Terraform Cloud or Enterprise instead of continuing to have a 100 different islands of Terraform Community and a dozen different instances of free Terraform Cloud...

Finally almost feel like I'm awake for the first time this week! Time to finally start getting some proper work do-

Oh, it's Friday. :blobeyes:

Yay! :blobcheer:

The care and attention HandToolRescue takes in restoring old tools fills me with hope. ♥️

@mawr @Alistor
That is fucking awesome... and you lookd adorable in it!

@IrisKalmia Gaerne used to make some.... I think Shima still does.

I really like Gaerne's trails boot, nice comfy hybrid boot with really good protection.

@IrisKalmia There are some of these out there and some adventure boots with them..

Work.. Doing a Thing Almost Too Well 

So... my presentation and design docs for the architecture of the new Azure Kubernetes project I'm the lead SRE on went over so well that my manager wants to use my flow diagrams and matching why document as the standard for every new project plan we do in the future and as we bring new people on the team he wants me to train them on my thought processes and workflow for building out this doc..

Because nobody in our Org has ever really done a Why doc for a new project.. Just how-to sorts of docs.

@mawr @kelseyhusky

Apparently it went well! They were convinced... and not completely baffled.. so YAY!

Although a Service Mesh as a concept was kinda hard for some of then to grasp at first... but that's okay... it's fucking magic.. really cool magic.

re: Multiple partitions CW: Code switching, identity, MH (-, -, 0) 

@kelseyhusky This sounds far too familiar...

Of course... I just finished giving a persentation at 8am to some UK devs... in full on... fake confidence SRE work-person mode... having woken up 20 minutes before the presentation.. @.@

Work thoughs, brain differences 

This project really illustrated something about what I enjoy vs most of my other SRE coworkers.

Them: "I fucking love Terraform, if I could just write code all day for stuff I would.. planning.. organizing.. stuff sucks.. Just tell me what you need and I'll write the modules!"

Me: "Ugh... I hate writing templates.. like I love how simple they make stuff but hate coding side..."

My Boss: "Hey Sam... We are going to help this team build this thing in Azure.. since you're completed the basic Azure training can you take point on this project. Figure out how we should made this happen and get stuff together to present to the devs doing the engineering side."

Me:"Sure.. okay.. I can do that."

A week and a half later...
My brain is so full of stuff and oh my gods I've done so much research and I can talk about this a lot..... I need to arrange all this in a sensible manner though.. because I have to talk about it in the morning...

2 hours of making workflow, pipelines and design charts later.. YES YES IT MAKES SENSE IN MY HEAD!

Send charts and nothing else to my team members.
"This is really good. holy shit!"
I guess I should start writing the words to go with this...

4 more hours later.. send off a doc to my boss and other team member.

"Damn this is really good and I like you approached it from a Why we should do things like this angle than 'this is how it should be done'. I think it will drive a lot of good how to questions and thoughts in the meeting tomorrow. Excellent Job!"

Me... to myself.. I really enjoyed that... like it was fun and interesting intellectually.. I like doing research and planning things...
Also me: Fuck I have to present this to people in the morning... commence the anxieties!

re: Synth worries (translating from huskybot to terran english) 

@kelseyhusky @mawr I hope it comes out pleasing!

@kelseyhusky *appendages crossed*

I just wish it wasn't during an 8am meeting that I'm usually half asleep during.

Hopefully I can convince some surly Brit developers in the morning.

Thanks!
