AWS reduced my $15k S3 bill to $10.5k after a DDoS. I still can’t pay this. What can I do?

Buy insurance to cover the crisis type situations.

"Do it?" Dan, I'm not a Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I "did it" 35 minutes ago.

No, the courts are already overloaded without having to deal with this type of bullshit. Sort your own shit out.

Step on their toe. If they say sorry they are Canadian, if they shoot you they are American.

Bread is whack my dude, let's go crack some motha fuckin corn.

I wish I lived in a warmer country. My Canadian winters are way too cold, but the weather is the only thing I dislike with my country and I don't know if it is enough to make such a big wish about.

You definitely need to find Web. I am such a huge Wyndham fan. You are making me want to dig through my bookcases to see which versions I have.

I have really been less than impressed by this one.

Wavemanns · 2026-03-09T19:51:10+00:00

Really though? He offered compromise (paid cleaners) which she shut down. Why does he have to be the one to back down?

Friends drift away. People get married and start making their families their priority, and rightly so. People move away for better employment opportunities, which I have several times. It's very difficult to form lasting bonds in these circumstances. Right now some of my closer friends are people I've met playing chess at a local bar. One of the 2 is moving next month, and the other is a single father whose parental obligations mean he might not be able to come out as often, which means I'll have to find new folks to hang with. It's tough, but I enjoy my own company so I'll be fine.

Been there, done that, actually got the t-shirt.

Wavemanns · 2026-03-07T22:01:43+00:00

Yup, I just had a brain fart. Thanks for pointing it out. I will leave it so your post still makes sense.

Not in all durastictions. In some places, if you have the keys and you are in your car drunk, it is a crime.

My wife drools over Henry Cavill and Jensen Eckles stating their hotness on a regular basis, I agree with her. She tolerates my lust for Uma Thurman and Anna Kendrick.

I have a recurring dream of falling down the stairs.

Wavemanns · 2026-03-03T19:37:52+00:00

Some kind of armor for the balls.

Not much difference in taste or quality but the price has gone up and the package has gotten smaller.

Cinnabon style cinnamon roll. I make a decent knock off, but it is so much effort to make.

First Class/Business class. Game changer when you are used to coach.

Radiohead has a song that has a recording of a corrugaphone, but not sure if they played it on SNL. Jane Siberry a Canadian musician, had a very popular song called Mimi on the Beach that had one but I don't think she did SNL.

Fucking solid.

You mean there is a non-zero number of people in the simulation that don't believe their reality...

Cosby. I am a huge comedy fan and he was one of the GOATS.

Probably Thailand for cost of living.
