cops would just shoot the driver, the white guy has a trump hat on

Honestly, grounds for the driver to just run him over immediately, without any further provocation

wtf artichokes are pretty, look what happened to my side yard



A house in my neighborhood used to plant artichokes as a decorative border plant and let them bloom and I always wanted to sneak over under cover of darkness and steal them before they opened up so I could eat them

cjs: The "lessons learned" meeting invitation for an application outage a while ago finally came in. The meeting is on June 16.

The outage was on March 20 lol

dioxazine posted:

nothing was learned, right?

My point in the meeting is that nothing should be learned, because the application is deprecated and its replacement is in beta, but we'll see how far I get with that. (My other points are going to be that a three-month delay between outage and lessons is absurd and that the original outage wasn't worth having anybody work on the weekend anyway.)

Edit: not getting sucked into yet another derail about the "the the the the" operator, goddamn

dioxazine posted:

this would also be a nothing was learned situation

it is kind of bizarre that there was a three month delay for the retro on a prod outage, but i've also had that happen and also had a prod outage never talked about after it was jerry rigged without a true fix

Another fun wrinkle is that the reason for the delay is because Lessons Learned meetings have a specific timeslot on Thursdays that nobody is allowed to schedule anything else into and, as a result, that one timeslot is vastly backlogged with Lessons that need to be Learned. And everybody is just…fine with this, I guess. (I will likely have words to say about this and everybody will just go, "Well, what're ya gonna do?" lol)

But yeah, I don't know how anybody who responded to the original outage (which does not include me, because I don't check work stuff on weekends lol) is expected to even remember what happened any more. Doubly so because the resolution was "restart it" and there really isn't much more to it.

I can see a regional argument for dude being neutral but it's clearly a masculine term generally. Similarly I say "you guys" neutrally sometimes as a midwesterner but I don't argue with people who don't like it :shrug:

Two exes ago hated "you guys" and one ex ago hated any suggestion that "you guys" wasn't gender-neutral. I bet if I sat them in a room together, they would get in a fight about it. And then bond over laughing about my various body parts they remember.

the rebuttal to everybody's "oh holky gently caress lawyer up" reaction is that i hope to keep this chill, but if needed, i will burn everything i've built to the foundations to fight it. it's a really difficult situation and i hate being in it

:sympathy: I hope your ex is reasonable and the situation resolves smoothly. I suppose it can't hurt to offer the easy plan first, without lawyering up.
