I'm starting in on sketches of what I want my mask to look like when finished.
Seattle year round commuter. For my current short commute: a rain cape (poncho).
- it's comfortable to wear both wet and dry
- easy on/easy off. Less fucking around trying to get geared up.
- I don't sweat through my clothes because it ventilates like crazy
So many more reasons, but good lord those 3 are reason enough. Putting on still-wet gear at the end of the day is nasty.
I also wear rain-legs. I wear wool socks and sneakers (1 less piece of wet gear to deal with). No gloves (cape deals with the rain and wind).
We have 3 (three. Three!!) redundant monitoring and alerting systems and have yet to detect the issues routinely found by our customers. Its not because we didn't detect them, it's because we have so many false positives we stopped looking (but still run the monitors).
Uuuuuugffhhhhhj
You don't understand the depths of my shame.
I was in OS support for 5 years. I supported DOS 5.
I work with software Dev teams all day long, including designing highly available services.
And I do after hours tech support for elders (my folks) and house mates (my fam).
If anybody knows to reboot...
Well now I feel like an ass - this is what I'd tell my parents.
And yeah, that fixed it. I'm tempted to delete this whole embarrassing post, but I will leave it for the edification of others and to memorialize my shame.
I met Danny at my local coffee shop. I am a total ass and said "Abed?". He said " Danny. " and shook my hand. Thus confirming my status as Total Ass, and his as a mensch.
Ahh the Midnight Mellon Mounter
I think Judaism is pretty interesting. No hell to speak of. Strong community focus. Traditions seem not-evil. Seems to foster a sense of curiosity and knowledge seeking. At least among those I know.
Shoes.
Shoes, with the Aglets of the laces resting upon them.
Education, specifically primary and secondary education for girls, is highly effective at reducing poverty. It deserves be highly prioritized for investment.
What a fucking awesome movie.
"...police confiscated a crossbow, a BB gun and various documents among other items, they added."
Am I a joke to you?
