Just going for the trifecta of annoying shitty problems today... 3 hour long power outage... now 3 hour long internet outage...

OMFGs... the power is back... fan feels so nice... it was just too warm without moving air..

re: Poll: Have you become more or less cautious about how you phrase things (or what you say) to friends since 2016? ( :boost_ok:

@mawr More... but then I forget and the filter comes off...

Working from home sick... and then the power goes out.. greaaat.

re: media politics, anger, Epstein, child SA mention 

@kistaro Let's be real: by American standards, a "sex crime" can be urinating in public :blobfrowningbig:

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. ♥️

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.
