There was also that one wave of denim covered everything.

Perpetual resting Monday face.

Please do. But keep in mind, when I invariably get jump-scared by your infotainment system and crack my head on the car ceiling, I'm going to turn your revenue stream into my personal early retirement pension.

Or remind people of the horrible specter that polio was, and the shadow it cast over society at the time. People lived in constant dread of catching something that could leave them physically ruined, and even wheelchair bound for the rest of their lives back then.

Covid, in its early strains, had the potential to leave you hospitalized and drowning in your own lungs for weeks as it ran its course. Granted, that's not polio levels of bad... But that's still weeks of hell, and several more years of hospital billing hell that I would like to avoid.

Weighing those outcomes, I opted for early access to the vaccine. Even though it was more to minimize the risk of an expensive hospital stay.

Sadly not surprising. You gotta spin it in terms they prefer, like productivity, profits, and ROI. Otherwise they assume it's an expense with no gains.

Also potentially a war crime. Aren't civilians and civilian assets supposed to be off-limits?

Oh no, I accidentally put paint in a super soaker and it squirted upwards on the camera! Silly me, I'm such a klutz!

Well, that's... unexpectedly reasonable.

EDIT: Unexpectedly reasonable for the cops to be even remotely altruistic. Unfortunately in this day and age, I was fully expecting the cops to just curbstomp the poor kid.

Intriguing. The first and last time I saw anything RT kernel related was nearly a decade ago, when I stumbled on it as an alternate kernel in the old synaptic package manager.

You technically can. The issue is that when the average Joe sees five instances of the community they're looking for, and the highest users/month stat is on .ml, they'll post there for the most traction. And the problem just self-reinforces from there.

Definitely fake. I've worked in IT, and I know Okta's offerings. They do multi-factor and SSO stuff, basically password management stuff on steroids along with any regulatory compliance checklist stuff.

They do not rent out cloud infrastructure for other companies to use.

I doubt that for two reasons:

  • There's no non-admin way for an app to discern if it's a firewall block, or a legitimate no-internet situation (i.e. didn't purchase in-flight WiFi). It would also look really bad PR-wise if a company banned customers just because their internet went down or was otherwise spotty.

  • How would they even know? Their software can't tattle on me if it's been blocked from establishing a connection.
