also i just owned myself and hosed the entire environment by rebooting the wrong host. see i assumed that ESXi host host2 would be on UCS server rack-unit-2. turns out i can go gently caress myself because it's setup like this:

pre:
rack-unit-1 -> host1
rack-unit-2 -> host3
rack-unit-3 -> host2
i pray i never meet the sicko that configured that poo poo. as its hyperconverged the datastore went down so :rip:

at my lab there’s a bank of vacuum gate valves controlled by a power strip with switches for each outlet. the power strip was labeled with big numbers 1 through 8 and the valves are numbered V1, V2 etc. but like V4 is plugged into slot #6 or whatever so i have to try to read the tiny labels on the power cord to figure out which is which.

we’re just begging for someone at some point to pop the wrong valve and destroy our vacuum pumps.

Just sitting there with a water glass full of vodka and an entire head of garlic, peeling the cloves with a knife and eating them raw.
Old man: "Do you eat garlic? I eat every day in morning."
Old lady: "yes, they say is very healthy. But he smell until the night"

He ate at least a dozen cloves, but she only let him drink two glasses of vodka, which he scoffed at. "Before I forty this no problem. One bottle for me is nothing."

Also apparently Leningrad is a much nicer city than San Francisco, because it doesn't have graffiti or kids on skateboards

He was vaguely aware that it's no longer called Leningrad but honestly I do think it's a better name then St Petersburg

one time I wandered into some Russian cultural event in Seattle randomly. i think I saw a sign for free food and tea 🤔. Anyway they had some stuff for sale too and I found a guy selling vodka he infused with things like peppercorns and he'd give you a shot with a slice of bread and some kind of cheap caviar for $2. It was cool

The law states that a car cannot be idling more than 5 minutes unless it is being serviced or it is being used to deliver or accept goods where engine assisted power is necessary. If someone is caught, they can be levied with a $100 fine for the first offense and up to $500 for subsequent offenses.


i guess cars got good enough at starting that they didn't need as much time to warm up, so they outlawed going too long. motor oil used to take a while to warm up and get all circulating

starting a car with a carburetor and driving it cold was a good way to stall in the middle of the street if you were a little too heavy on the gas pedal. in high school i would start the car, get to the main road and, in spite of letting it warm up for a few minutes before setting out, it would occasionally stall when i gave it some gas to pull into traffic, which meant putting it in neutral, starting it back up, and throwing it into drive while flooring it to try and get the hell out of the way of oncoming traffic

Ya, they own. Only source of heat to defrost the windshield is the engine? Hope you like sitting around in fast-idle!

I'm so glad I live in a place where I don't need to change oil weights with the seasons, scrape ice, etc. I'd probably have given up on my old car by now, if I did. Also, living here means I can go to the farmers' market and buy several pounds of celery for $2.50, year-round, which is also pretty sweet.
