I drink unsweetened tea and diet cola all day, I don’t know what my body is complaining about. You know what, fine here’s half a jar of peanut butter on a pop tart!

You always braise rodent knees. Did Arby’s parents teach them nothing!

Funny how this information about massive operational cost savings “leaked” just hours after all internet facing companies and US congress started questioning our reliance on AWS in a way that could affect Amazon’s stock price.

Once upon a time they insisted that Amazon had independent decision making on their providers when they were needing new infrastructure and they “always decided that AWS suited them best.”

Shockingly (/s), they stopped making that claim right about the same time they started admitting that their biggest users are all under Private Pricing Agreements.

So Roblox is the only of those companies that can handle proper region failover if us-east-1 shits the bed? You young ops have gotten soft! Learn to live by ChaosMonkey or die by the Gorilla.

“That’s a problem for future me, that guy’s a jerk anyway.”

We tore our front lawn out this summer. By the time we were working in July the (clay) soil under the sod was brick hard for 18 inches before it got workable again.

The yard is now 70% native and the area with high sun is drought tolerant. It’s only been a few weeks and already the pollinators are here in force and there’s a pair of mourning doves that come by to hang out most mornings.

We only use Amazon when its the only fulfillment option available. What I’ve noticed about amazon over the last 5+ years is that it feels like cable/broadcast TV ads do now.

In the rare case I end up watching TV with ads I find them so obnoxious and/or off-putting that I can’t believe they actually sell anything. If anything they put me off the product. And that’s how Amazon feels too.

Don’t fix what’s not broken

Yeah. Obviously that’s what console.debug() is for.

Yes, yes, yes. It’s Ben Drowned Goldblum…

I am not afraid to add a layer of obscurity to any thread.

Well that should convince the last of the Canadian snowbirds to divest themselves from whatever winter assets they’ve been holding on to. RIP Florida and Arizona housing markets - they won’t be back for at least a generation.

“Excuse me, do you have a copy of the Acme catalog?”

I’m looking forward to the nothingness, the first 14billion years was nice enough. It’s the time between everyday life and nothingness that worries me.

My 20 year dislike of RoR is finally justified, regardless of me not seeing this coming.
