he's clearly using the reflection to keep an eye out and quickly alt-f4 porn when he sees someone approaching.

occams razor says this computer update mess was the result of a (relatively) new start up being dumb and cutting corners, ignoring accepted procedure

but at the same time, there's something so so poignant about the name being CrowdSTRIKE. It's like they were begging the cosmos for a globe spanning error

To deter a potential conflict with China, the United States must act quickly to resolve key challenges in its industrial base.

to deter conflict we have to resolve the things that would make it difficult for us to have a conflict?

if only there were already an established species of large ungulates - ideally herbivores - to fill the niche and prevent hogs from over-expanding

this is like crying over a blind casting of shakespear but more embarrassing by several orders of magnitude

I'll shovel off my side of the stairs, but I will die before I let my elderly neighbor Frank freeload off the sweat of my brow like some liberal communist parasite. If he doesn't want to break his hip slipping on the stairs again, he'll shovel his own side or pay a child to do it as God (the market) intended.
