First stop: a sort of mansion that was built by Germans who moved here shortly after WW2. Hmmmmmmm

I love going places but fuck do I hate the process of getting there

I installed the American Airlines app and after logging in it stopped my music to play a silent video that I aggressively did not care for. Tapped the X to dismiss it a bunch of times and it wouldn’t go away, but the app crashed instead so good riddance I guess

@sven I don’t have a personal subscription but for work I am successful using it to do things that just wouldn’t get done otherwise, like adding unit tests for almost-certainly-correct functionality. I frequently see it give incorrect results (which are frequently uncritically accepted) for […]

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Mar 01 9:41 AM PST We want to provide some additional information on the power issue in a single Availability Zone in the ME-CENTRAL-1 Region. At around 4:30 AM PST, one of our Availability Zones (mec1-az2) was impacted by objects that struck the data center, creating sparks and fire.

June 2023: a Google data center in France floods and they call it a “water intrusion event”
