OMFG, these things (I can’t call them people) are monsters [get rid of rear-seat reminders]!

You mean like this: Kristi Noem defends killing her dog - BBC.Com

I know something that is dangerous and untrainable; and it’s not the dog!

Yaml parsing. Article was great.

I read part of it; it was too painful to read more.

I kept finding myself saying “Well that’s stupid” over and over again.

Edit: To clarify, it’s yaml parsing that is “stupid”; the article was great.

^raises ^glass Here’s to many more!

When I was in school, back in the day, we had about 10 GB of storage for ~10,000 students.

We allowed 100 MB per student, but didn’t have even remotely enough space for them all to use that much. Probably 50-60% never even logged in.

Yes we backed it up to tape and could restore it as needed.

I’ve been trying to remember all the little folks since I’ve become so fabulously wealthy, but it just doesn’t seem worth it anymore. /s

I’ll let them know that (in case it ever becomes relevant).

They are a wonderful partner and I would never leave them for something so minor. It’s just a thing I can’t quite wrap my head around - I’m sure I have things about myself that they don’t get either. It’s not a big deal to either of us.

If I have a nickel for everytime someone said “The cloud never goes down”.

I’d have a lot of nickels and would spend my time doing something I like a lot more than working 🤑.

Tried that many times (to no avail).

We are both university grads and know how math works. They just can’t get past the psychological barrier of “the bill will be higher when we check out”.

Can’t get my partner to do this. They are too worried about “saving money/we don’t need it (now)”. For heavens sake, I’m not saying buy a spare house; just pick up an extra tube of toothpaste!

What this NCO did was not dumb; it was calculated and intentional violations of multiple rules and regulations they (and the others involved) knew very well. Then they tried to cover it up when people started asking questions.

Absolutely no sympathy for them in my book. These are supposed to be the leaders other enlisted look to emulate.

Of course they won’t be; somebody has to debug all the crap AI writes.

I’ll take the non-AI using pharmacist for the win. Thank you very much.

Try this: DSL Linux

I once abused an SMTP relay (my own) by emailing Novell a 400+ MB memory dump. Their FTP site kept timing out.

After all that, and them swearing they had to have it, the OS team said “Nope, we’re not going to look at it”. Guess how I feel about Novell after that?

This was in the mid-90’s.

I’ve had those things before. But there is maintenance and power to factor in; so not entirely free.

Pretty sure FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) is for deposits only, not debts. The politicians would never let their donors suffer.

Hugh government bail out (American here). Taxpayer gets stuck with the bill. Companies loose nothing (probably make even more than way).

Rejects from the plane assembly line. Now that’s scary!
