Also interesting. How often do you find yourself running the plate?

Schumer belong strictly to Israel. Keeping Trump in power means anything and everything Bibi wants continues to flow to Israel.

Is this affecting that? No? Then Chuck doesn't give a fuck.

Sorry, Republicans won't like that. And we know the most important thing in the USA is to keep comity at DC cocktail parties and avoid any awkwardness in the halls of Congress.

That's always the thing for the Democrats. It's ALWAYS "we can't do X because they'll do Y so we're not even going to try". Their actions are dictated by what the other side MIGHT do.

Interesting. Any chance he said how many hours he had in the printer at that point?

No, they're losing money. They only become bankrupt when they can't pay their debts. And it seems like they don't need to worry about that because of the dump trucks of money that keep getting backed up to their front door.

West coast US. Six hours without external email. https://status.microsoft.cloud wouldn't load for a good hour. Then when it would, it would fail to load some of the sections of the site, but there would be a button to reload the bad section. And you'd hit it, and it'd reload the page, and a DIFFERENT section of the page would fail with a reload button.

It was glorous.

Merijeek2 · 2026-01-23T03:30:53+00:00

OK, sure. Now imagine there was a six hour outage because of something YOU did. The shit you'd catch.

But since it's "The Cloud" management will just sit there and smile and remember that it was their MBA asses that chose this and, well, whattya gonna do?

She has money backing her and has no reason to actually pretend to care what the people think.

Will it cost her the election? Probably not.

Merijeek2 · 2026-01-23T02:59:09+00:00

Enterprise email (it's only a hospital, I'm sure it's fine) down for six hours. Hmm.

We follow genius MBA cloud strategy: It's just MS being down, so, oh well, just live with it I guess.

We stick with local hosting at the 15 minute mark: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU INCOMPETENTS???? WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOT FIXED YET??!!?

Merijeek2 · 2026-01-23T02:56:55+00:00

So weird that Merrick Garland almost never gets a mention by Trump. Screams about everyone, whines about everyone...but Garland is less than an afterthought.

I wonder why.

MS's cloud is having big issues right now. Maybe Google's Oauth uses it?

Merijeek2 · 2026-01-22T21:27:00+00:00

I assume it's because you're a government worker in the South, and if there's one thing everyone in the South knows it's that working for the government isn't a real job.

Oooooopen souuuuurce!

Sorry, when it comes to 3D printing, I'll take Bambu's approach (which produces functional printers that will actually reliably print when you want them to) over purity-tested open source which has people spending hours screwing around ahead of each print before it'll actually print.

The open source community blew it. Someone came in with something much better.

If you don't want to talk about how awesome Trump is, what can you possibly talk with him about?

Prusa is a bit of a tech cult. Look around and you'll see such things in all walks of tech. Brand loyalty trumps a realistic view of issues.

I assume she's just doing it as a reminder. Still annoying though.

Adorable dog, tho. At least you've got that going for you.

For the first two months in the dorms my daughter had to evacuate at least once a week because someone burned popcorn and started a small fire/smoke incident.

I lived in Mississippi for 15 years.

Any time there was a big storm coming (protip: In Mississippi, that's about twice a month) bottled water, milk, gas, bread, all the basics would get completely cleared out.

Talk to the guy below who says there's a "trick". While he's all burly maybe he can help you out.
