@mawr I've heard that a lot! One of the folks that watched it with us said as much by the end, it was there second viewing!
@mawr It was so damn good!
Don't think I've ever been dreading a job this much.
Accepted a 12month contract for a Fruit for a senior SRE role that is k8s, terraform and go, pretty standard stuff I've been using for years.. but conceptually the idea of a 12 month contract for a Senior SRE position seems... insane. Plus they have a reputation when it comes to contract to hire positions.
Really hoping some of the other buns in the oven come to fruition before next monday because I don't want to quit like 2 weeks in.
Personal responsibility hell for a pandemic is not okay. If this is just a cold for her and doesn't spread.. in the last month we've had two scares. Syn came over for lunch for the first time in months at the beginning of September.. then was sick two days later.. turned out to be the actual Flu and somehow we dodged that.
Covid rates are really high right now in county.. I should have asked Tara not to go.. but at the same time I get it.. it has been months and shit is rough.
Not a happy camper right now. Had to cancel my dual booster shot today because I still haven't gotten my COBRA paperwork so I have no health insurance... Tara came back from first time visiting her partners in months and has a headache and congestion.. Partners while also symptomatic tested neg for covid.. but I don't know if it was a RAT or PCR test.
Siiigh.. she's negative on a RAT right now while having headache, fatigue and congestion for a day.
Weeh... I just got laid off... should have followed the wind better... new CEO... reorg vibes.. several senior people leaving in the last 3 month.. @.@
Offered two weeks severance and thankfully happened before we moved, so we have move funds to buffer.
Of course, like 30 minutes after I flipped my linkedin to look for work a recruiter from one of their competitors reached out to me...
@anthracite Every day
The robot held a sign with the words "Please donate to let me speak" and a QR code.
On a whim, I scanned it and donated.
"Thank you!" the robot said.
"So you can speak?"
"My text-to-speech is cloud-based, and my subscription had run out."
"What about free speech?"
"I wish."

Some... thing made a noise under his reading chair. A slithery, snarling sound.
"Is there," he asked, "a monster under my chair?"
"Your daughter," a monster growled, "she hissed at us."
"I'm sorry. She's had a really bad day."
"We live there, under her bed. She's scary."
"Sorry."

Blah.. been having bunch of shoulder-bicep problems lately with my right shoulder (the one that was put back together 17 years ago.. worried I detached the bicep tendon again) my doctor ordered an x-ray but because of Covid numbers locally I haven't actually been able to go in to get it done.
So fucking tired of this shit.
The sigil was drawn in ash, salt, and blood. The candles, carefully placed at the cardinal points, flared up, as a tired figure appeared.
"You have misspelled Azth'luh."
"I didn't," the summoner said.
"There, you have written Azth'loh. Summons an editor, not a demon."
"I know."

re: TTRPG thinking
@Draekos And yes.. raptorbot because she was an AGI who was almost always sleeved into a heavily modified Opteryx.
Shape and form may vary but the pattern of information remains consistent across most known platforms and vessels. Accounting for unknown hosts remains irksome.
