"LED lights last a lot longer than incandescent or compact fluorescent" turned out to be a capitalist scam. They /should/ last longer but rarely do. :blobfrowningbig:

The human space armada had similar size as the aliens', similar armour and armaments. It should have been close.
But the aliens won convincingly, after human pilots hesitated before taking shots.
"Who," the admiral sighed, "told the aliens to put googly eyes on their ships?"

@IrisKalmia Best part is... I can't just roll it back because there are bunch of other changes that need to stay but graaah.

Also... I just noticed he removed the table of contents macro for some fucking reason...

It is a good thing this guy is remote. Because fuck.. I'd have violent word in person.. I think.

But no... you are going to ask me where the original doc was... and then just link me the 6 revisions back version of the doc you hacked the fuck up before you understood there was a new guide included in.. and ask me to somehow fix it...

Dude.. if you are going to Hack up the Doc I put together at -your- request yesterday because parts of it are copy pasted from other docs that I helped write.. maybe you should fucking find the originals and figure out what is new and what is not.

Since the copy-pasted bits were prefix to give context to the -new- guide I wrote which you deleted for some reason.

Maybe someday, if we're lucky, the last capitalist can be a good capitalist.

work, anyone need an okay k8s, azure, terraform devops person? 

I guess it is time to brush up my resume. Always great to spend last couple of weeks meeting with team leads and discussing the possibility of moving on to one of their teams then have your director tell you the COO changed the requirements of the req he'd hoped to fit you into..
And follow it "there are some openings in engineering, we could work something out as a temp parking spot for you until an ops req opens."

Fuck dude, you know I'm not a software engineer and looking at the openings, I am like 100% they are on the team responsible for the disaster product I support as an SRE

Boy I love interviewing people on the east coast, sure do. Especially nice coming off a long weekend (in which my natural sleep schedule reasserted itself) to run an interview at 8am PST. Totally rad. We totally had bandwidth issues to keep me off video I swear.

Not at all because I rolled out of bed and made coffee 15 minutes before the interview or anything.. nope!

re: Mass Effect Andromeda spoilers [2] 

@mawr He is so damn great, like perfect grumpy grandpa Krogan and I love him for it.

Plus he tries to cheer you up with pictures of guns!

re: Mass Effect Andromeda spoilers [2] 

@mawr But also.. Vetra and Drack are GREAT!

re: Mass Effect Andromeda spoilers [2] 

@mawr Andromeda went through some super dev hell... the ironic part of that is the game play is a lot of fun. Aurora and I played the hell out of the multiplayer with some other friends when it launched.

There are some good docs on what happened.. But at some it went from Narrative Semi-Linear IE ME3 to procedurally generated free form planetary exploration back to something more like the OG Trilogy... because of No Man Sky.

@anthracite @zebratron2084

Direction Evernote has gone over the last few years has just made me sad. I ended up switching to One Note reluctantly because I had to use it a ton at work.

Always fun when you have to go looking for security policy docs then have a conversation the security director because your Senior SRE decided to pull scripts from his private github into a CI/CD automation pipeline...

Note the scripts weren't any bad.. but super bad procedure.

And apparently none of the docs or policy has been published yet, hence talking with SecOps director.

re: work, status 

Apparently I * a thing.. and forgot to explain.
My manager is navy boomer dude with an MS mathmatics and comp sci and apparently added to his linked in recently that he completed some Vector Calculus course of the U of Hong Kong or something.

Anyway... I was a total wreck for the last week because I was expecting the company I work for to completely fuck me over and dump me because that is all I've ever experienced when difficulties in the workplace come up.

I was shocked and surprised.. when that didn't happen. I guess it helps that I've been there for 5 years and impressed some senior leadership folks at various points.. and we are still short staffed everywhere in Ops.
