We didn’t even formally classify the fungi kingdom until 1969. We still classified it under plantae kingdom.

Yea, not sure if the update has been run yet. We’re still getting the issue of not being able to load page 2. Any ETA on this?

- Comment on Python Foundation rejects $1.5M grant with no-DEI strings 2 weeks ago:
The Seattle zoo also rejected federal funding with these strings. My wife lost her job because of it. Because it was just for one program and the no-DEI was organization wide…
Apparently the Portland Zoo signed it… No one expected that shit. We both let her parents know that this is because of their vote in another state.

I can confirm it’s just sh.itjust.works. I logged into my lemmy.world account in voyager and can just scroll and scroll.

Chiming in here. It’s affecting me on mobile and website. What is going on? What’s the solution? 3 days for this is too crazy imo.

Not yet! I think she thinks I’m already enough to handle 😂

Being polyam in Seattle is great. All of my coworkers know I’m poly and just accept it. All the bartenders know too. Makes it easy for them to start the tab.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 3 weeks ago:
I’m an outlier because I live in a walkable neighborhood in a city. But I have 10 breweries within walking distance around my house. I know the owners by name for 2 of these breweries and the bartenders know me for 4 of them. I think they all know my dog.
I usually go with my wife and/or girlfriend about 2-4 days a week, but it’s still very much a hang out.
We’re also Friday regulars to a semi-close bar every Friday because I won a free beer/week for a year in a $25 raffle!

Seattle has commercially compostable plastic straws. They feel pretty much like plastic but are kind of matte. Even the single use forks/knives/spoons from restaurants are like that. But then again we do large scale compost across the city.

- Comment on Today's Massive AWS Outage That Took Down Your Favorite Sites Is Still Going On 3 weeks ago:
Last night from 12-4am, it was almost every region impacted so it didn’t help that much.
But we do have failovers for customers that they need to activate to just start working in another region.
But our canaries and infrastructure alarms cannot do that since they are for alerts in the region.
- Comment on Today's Massive AWS Outage That Took Down Your Favorite Sites Is Still Going On 3 weeks ago:
As someone that works at another Amazon AWS dependent org, it also took out us. It was awful. Nothing I could do on my end. Why the fuck didn’t it get rolled back immediately? Why did it go to a second region? Fucking idiots on the big teams side.
I got paged 140 times between 12 and 4 am PDT. Then there was another one where I had to hand it off at 7am because I needed fucking sleep. And they handled it until 1pm. I love my team, but it’s so awful that this even was able to happen. All our our fuck ups take 5-30 mins to roll back or manually intervene. This took them 2+ hours, and it was painful. Then it HAPPENED AGAIN! Like what the fuck.
- Comment on Is airtags really useful? 4 weeks ago:
I have one on my wallet and it helps my ADHD brain not miss the bus when I misplace my wallet. My AirPods also now have the same thing. And me or my wife can use it on our phones. It helps eliminate a lot of frantic searching.

Take the center of mass at that point. Can’t be 0 because atoms have widths.
- Comment on The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home. 2 months ago:
I’m lucky enough that when my company started enforcing 5 days a week, they don’t enforce hours. I usually wake up for my first meeting then shower/get ready after, then commute. They give me free public transit, so I take the bus every time too. Plus I can bring my dog in, and I get a free nice coffee (lattes, tea, matcha, etc). Then I’ll leave the office about 3/4pm and WFH if needed.

I grew up in the center of Mississippi. I always called it “the devil is beating his wife”. Idk why it was ever called that because there was no story; it’s just how it is.

You can buy nitrous ANYWHERE, so I wouldn’t blame TikTok for that.

- Comment on What are the best free mmorpgs for a beginner? 3 months ago:
Was about to suggest the same! I feel in love with it 4 years ago and subscribed after beating the base game. Turns out that I had a JP service account, so I had to do the whole base story again on a new NA account (since they don’t allow cross region payments).

I can never get the parallel view to work. My eyes want to focus too quickly. :( cross view is so much easier to me. I wish they came in both all the time.

- Comment on Microsoft pushes staff to use internal AI tools more, and may consider this in reviews. 'Using AI is no longer optional.' 4 months ago:
It’s the same in Amazon software development. We have like 3 different AI tools. I enjoy it for unit tests and predicting the next two lines of a simple thing, but it’s not going to refactor our codebase.

But if people are visiting, don’t most people want massive tourist infrastructure?
How can we “visit” if there’s not even a hotel? Do tourists need to learn the native language to find a place?
- Comment on Matrix.org is Introducing Premium Accounts 4 months ago:
Exactly. I’m nowhere close to the top of the tech ladder, but I make more than that and still have to rent and will be renting for several more years. To buy an average house in this city, it would be like 7k/month without a 20% down payment. And household debt needs to be 30% of your total income so I would need to make $250k to even get approved for a loan for an average house in the city.

So there shouldn’t be a poster on a wooden pole for a new corner store? How about fancy signs? No happy hours either?
