    Just a reminder, if your waitstaff…

    OH. That kind of server.

    My dumb ass is like “what does it mean to tip a computer server? Is that some weird gen z IT slang I’ve somehow missed that means overloading it somehow and if so why not just call it DOSing like the rest of us?”

    I’m such a dope sometimes.





  • That was an excellent article. It was pretty infuriating to read about the sheer cavalier arrogance of the guy that got everyone killed.

    He thought he knew better than everyone else – than the establishment – scientists and engineers with decades of experience in building and operating submersibles safely at extreme depths.

    It’s like this asshole did things “differently” (read: wrong) – by making the worst, most idiotic possible design decisions – purely out of spite and hubris. And ignorance I guess.

    That would be bad enough. But then ignoring every warning from experts … and ignoring his own test failures… Fucking hell. If he got himself killed, alone, I wouldn’t bat an eyelash but it sickens me that others paid with their life for his unabashed negligence.

    I’ve known people like that, but fortunately they don’t try to put people in harms way for a buck.



  • Trans people are regular, real people. Like my college friend. Or my wife’s HS friend. Or that one kind soul I worked with once.

    I’m so god damn sick of all the hatred and lies and bullshit and murder and sadistic laws against trans people.

    I loudly applaud any space that actively supports trans people and gives them a place free from hatred and assholes.
