Those of us who have asked to avoid the cancer box and been subjected to a subjectively punitive pat-down and fashion show experience are already anticipating just that. Yay!
(And for added fun, call it a cancer box. Wow, when you get that one TSA who only has bad days will you get a great speech as well)
I always forget that “choose better parents” one weird trick. ;-)
99% of Canada lives within 100mi of the US border, and armed agents have invaded Canada to kidnap a Canadian for ‘breaking’ an American law as a Canadian not breaking any Canadian laws, on Canadian sovereign soil, so they can render that person to America and convict there.
(glances at tripling costs for ram, GPU, storage, now power)
Imagine my complete lack of surprise !
anti-marriage equality march
That’s weird. People who march against marriage on the basis of equality?
Wait. That makes sense, given the historically one-sided power distribution in marriage. I’d almost march against marriage on the basis of promoting equality, but my wife would kill me.
Hopefully with no apostrophe after them. Those things are endangered, you know.
Wait.
WE CAN FIND OUT HOW WE GOT ON THE LIST?
I probably spell-checked some diatribe, and suggested being able to spell a word is a crucial requirement for convincing people of your authority in the matter. It’s like how we don’t applaud a tenor for clearing his throat.
They think with whatever the fuck makes you think of people as “resources”.
Yeah. They change their own titles, but I worry it’s still the same – they just remembered the ‘human’ part of ‘human resources’ is merely an adjective.
The list is unsorted, and I assume it grew organically. What’s the flex now? Our position on the list?
As I’ve said before: HOW ABOUT NO
Um, we call that stucco up here.
Slackware -> rhl(4) -> rhel -> centos -> rocky
High SLSA, high iso27002.
I saw multiplicity, and I think this is the best explanation for everything.
But the depth of overcompensation in this entire virtue-signal of a boondoggle solution is huge.
We had four mobiles going off at various points throughout the house. Only one human wasn’t sleeping, and everyone else was.
What the flappy fuck are they thinking we’re gonna do while we’re sleeping?
In a world where we canceled standard time because we didn’t want to suffer the injury risk of driving after the time change, how many injuries or deaths happened today because people got awakened at midnight and then some of us at 1am? How many of those deaths is worth what may have potentially been a risk in West Kelowna (the West Virginia of Kelowna - I say this as a GPSS student, upset at the name change)?
I hate to be a one-issue voter, but I may have found my one issue.
have my bless
I came here to point this particular embarrassment out.
This crusade against bad datacenters - poor cooling, poorly located, wasteful - is mislabeled as a crusade against ALL datacenters.
Mislabeled? Yeah. I’ve worked with personal info - the kind you don’t want leaked (PII) - for years. You need that shit secure. You only do that with a very secure building designed to hold and protect all that storage for all those databases - healthcare info, courts docs, land title surveys, buried pipe maps, your bank account, 3tb of Epstein files - so it’s stored, secured and accessible only where required.
That’s a datacenter. We need that one. But, like some others, this crusade will target those too. It’s a classic baby-with-bathwater issue.
And maybe that’s what they want: they’re okay with crunchies killing 80 years of climate records and the Epstein files because both hurt the same dirtbags.
Maybe we keep those datacenters around? Maybe we notice the difference between that one and whatever the hell musk has done? Maybe we protest the musk one as a Toxic Datacenter or part of Datacenter Blight instead of saying they’re all evil?
Nuance is so hard these days, but just think a sec.
In related news, evolution is hard to see up close.
