I used to work on the website for a utility company that insisted on ridiculous uptime. Our major deployments risked taking the system down for a few seconds, though in practice that never happened.

As a result, they made us do deployments starting at 3:00 in the morning since that was the least active time on the site. Fuuuuuuuuck that place.

My brother is an air traffic at one of the world’s busiest international airports and I can assure your their system uptime is no where close to 5 9s.

Damn, that’s kinda fucked up. We all know there are (mostly) subconscious biases against people we find unattractive. But that’s harsh that it shows up as such a big gap.

Lol I might adopt that. Add a little bit of heat to a recipe and just whisper “isa little spicy”.

Reminded me of this guy who makes these “vintage recipes” on YouTube. He comes so close to throwing up every time:

Still one of the best standup bits ever.

TLDW; billionaire Michael Bloomberg is behind multiple laws in mostly blue states to require spyware be added to all 3D printers under the banner of “gun control”.

He’s attempted to hide this as a grassroots effort, when in reality it’s nearly completely funded by him and his organizations. There’s a call to action to contact your representatives if that legislation is being proposed in your state and voice your opposition to letting billionaires control what you can and cannot 3d print.

This video perfectly summed up a lot of my thoughts from this post yesterday talking about a similar law in California.
