I’m a big fan of the Norm MacDonald jokes where the punchline is lame but the journey getting there is hilarious. Some examples

I’ve heard it called “sport mode”

With that being said, skin cancer is incredibly shitty. My wife has melanoma and has to get checked by a dermatologist every 3 months. They typically biopsy at least once every visit, and about every other visit they schedule surgery to cut one or more cancer spots off her.

They’re not very pleasant surgeries either, since they have to go fairly deep and take pretty wide margins to ensure that it didn’t spread. The stitches aren’t very fun, since they last for several weeks. The spots around muscles that you move a lot, like your calf or thighs are the worst, because they pull and can tear the stitches. Cleaning and dressing the bandages isn’t really great either, since you have a lot of caked on blood and ooze that’s tricky to get off without pulling on the wounds.

All in all, skin cancer is 0/10, would not recommend. Wear sunscreen.

“If voters’ perceptions of data centers are not fixed quickly, the campaign against them will expand far beyond Ohio,” the party warns.

It annoys me to no end that they view the problem as perception that needs to be “fixed”.

Not “hey guys, we need to find a better solution to AI” or “hey maybe we can do this more responsibility with a lesser environmental impact.”

Just “we need to put out a PR campaign.”

“I think flexibility is here to stay,” she said.

This is the problem with academics. They do a study, find something is logically better, then assume humans will act logically.

Unfortunately, most CEOs don’t give a shit if their employees are more happy, productive, and less likely to quit if they work remotely. They just want to feel like they have control over people’s lives, which is why we’re seeing more return to office initiatives.

Look out for those beauties, oh yeah.

I used to work on the website for a utility company that insisted on ridiculous uptime. Our major deployments risked taking the system down for a few seconds, though in practice that never happened.

As a result, they made us do deployments starting at 3:00 in the morning since that was the least active time on the site. Fuuuuuuuuck that place.

My brother is an air traffic controller at one of the world’s busiest international airports and I can assure your their system uptime is no where close to 3 9s.

Came from this post about 10 months ago.

I can’t imagine why they’re taking this function out

Ugh, my brother is this type of person. Everywhere we go, he’s like “You know, this place probably just prints money. If they’re charging each one of us $X and they do this amount of business all the time, that’s millions every year! We could easily do this and probably double that if we really tried.”

It would also be in stark defiance of Amazon’s stated climate goals, which center on reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.

That’s not lost on the tech giant. But as Amazon spokesperson Margaret Callahan told the NYT, the “world looks different now than when we co-founded the climate pledge.”

What the fuck? They looked at the world recently and said “yeah, climate change isn’t as much of a problem as it was before”?!?

If you think the title is misleading, you might not understand what he plead guilty to. It wasn’t just stalking. It was stalking resulting in death.

Federal sentencing guidelines suggest a range of 24 to 30 years in prison. However, because the stalking resulted in death, federal prosecutors intend to seek the maximum sentence of life in prison.

It was stalking leading to death, for which they’re asking for life in prison. So not your run of the mill stalking case. There are a few people downplaying the seriousness of this guilty plea, but denial is the first step in the stages of grief. He’s going away for life.

I am guessing you are being sarcastic here, because I assume it is not common to get life in prison for stalking. Even one resulting in death.

I am not. From a CNN article “Federal sentencing guidelines suggest a range of 24 to 30 years in prison. However, because the stalking resulted in death, federal prosecutors intend to seek the maximum sentence of life in prison. His federal sentencing is scheduled for December 18, 2026.”

Not sure why you’re down playing the seriousness of this news. If you’re still holding onto hope that Luigi is going to get a slap on the wrist or something, I hate to be the bearer of bad news.

How so? He plead guilty to guilty to federal stalking charges resulting in death, for which he will likely be sentenced to life in prison.
