If they ever file for Chapter 7, I will be deeply disappointed if the headline doesn't read, "Hooters Goes Tits Up".
Soviets probably started the myth.
"Oh no! Vee have no gunz. Vould be shame if some Nazi scum vere to attack us. Vee are completely defenzeless like little babiez."
No good deed goes unpunished.
One time I worked on a team that had a ridiculously high defect rate. Stuff was constantly getting kicked back from QA. Management kept piling on all kinds of convoluted processes to try to reduce the number of defects which only made things worse.
I started really hammering the need for doing a root cause analysis as part of bug/defect tickets. Don't just fix the bug. Make sure you understand what caused it and link the bug ticket to the ticket that caused it.
Big surprise (not really), 90% of the bugs and defects were being caused by like 3 people.
Your comment made me think of some of the PM's whining about adding one story point for doing an RCA because apparently it's better to just ignore the problem and keep pumping out shitty broken code as fast as possible.
When people are sending their pox, they're not sending their best pox. They're sending small pox, chicken pox. Can you believe that? Chick pox! And now the price is eggs so high because of all the chickens with the pox.

Smallpox is the only infectious disease to be successfully iradicated. The last case occured in 1978. However, the US (CDC) and Russia maintain samples of the virus for research purposes, despite the WHO's recommendation that all samples of the virus be destroyed.
Given the current state of things, I wouldn't consider it completely impossible for some very stable genius to accidently -- or maybe not accidentally -- release the virus back into the wild.
Just a matter of time before someone reintroduces smallpox to humans.
Well there's a thought I did not need in my brain today.
I would focus on having a solid backup strategy. Segmenting applications on different VM's makes more sense in a data center when one application can serve an entire organization. For your personal workstation, it's just going to add a lot of unnecessary overhead.
Pretty short sighted, which is also on brand, for the Kremlin. I'm sure that by now they've discovered that whatever incriminating info they had on Trump is essentially worthless, since none of his supporters care about any of the horrible things he's done. And, he's found himself in the position of being able to steal, cheat, and grift right out in the open with zero consequences, thereby lessening his dependence on laundering money for the Russians.
They wanted an agent of chaos and they got one. Unfortunately for them, this particular agent is very difficult if not impossible to control.
Context: Donald Trump spewing bullshit about annexing Canada and Greenland. Meanwhile, Congress has been dragging their feet for YEARS on resolving Puerto Rico's territorial status.
Citizens living in US territories do not receive equal representation in congress. For instance, PR has one "delegate" to the House (not an official voting member) and no senators. Taxation without representation.
Although, at this point I wouldn't blame PR if they changed their minds about wanting to become the 51st state.

Our electric bill has been running pretty high even though it hasn't been that cold and we've been supplementing with wood heat. Decided to track down the culprit and hooked up an energy usage monitor to one of our 5 sub panels. Gonna check the other 4 over the course of the next few days.

Edit: Just to clarify, my stance here is not "ignore everything Trump." He has done and will do quite a lot of things that warrant attention and concern. He's also a serial liar and world class bullshitter. A human testament to the phrase, "actions speak louder than words." Donald Trump's political success has always hinged on the fact that people are quick to forget that. He's already working overtime to distract from the fact that the majority of his campaign promises were just lies and the sooner he can make the people who voted for him forget all the pie in the sky shit they were promised, the better.

We have a rather unique Christmas tradition in our family. Some people like to get those gingerbread house kits and decorate them. We like to decorate them and then turn them into a cookie catastrophe. We call them "gingerbread crime scenes" but they're really more along the lines of Shrek meets Apocalypse Now.
It's something we started doing when our oldest child was probably 10 years old so she wouldn't feel bad about accidentally wrecking her gingerbread house. It just became an annual tradition after that and we have a lot of fun doing it. They actually seem to get more creative every year.
This years episode is "Gummy Bears vs. Peanut Butter Perps" (the 'ginger bread men' are actually peanut butter cookies).
I'm a "Progressive" Christian (which I think is redundant) of the Presbyterian variety. Reddit had/has a few active progressive Christian subs which I feel like Lemmy is missing.
I don't know if I would make a good mod or not. If you check my post/comment history, you'll find numerous instances of me being a potty mouth. Personally I think that's completely fine as long as it's in line with the "Golden Rule". Because I do take that rule very seriously.
If I can help this community grow and be a welcoming place for people who share my interest in being a follower of Jesus or want to know more about it, I'm happy to do what I can.
