>Our current expectation is that AO3 will be down for a minimum of two weeks; however, it could take up to four weeks.

That seems crazy to me. I've been part of orgs that have had stuff like this happen and they've been mostly back within 24 hours. I'm curious if they had no plan for this sort of thing and if they're unwilling to bring in professional companies that help analyze and cleanup these sorts of issues.

>most people who win the lottery aren't rich forever.

Everytime that gets mentions someone points out it's mostly a myth that lottery winners lose it all shortly afterwards. There are a few high profile instances of people winning millions and then wasting it all and then having to go back to work within a couple of years, but it's not the norm.

No matter how many times this gets reposted, which seems like several times a year for the last few years, no they haven't figured out how to make a true blue rose.

>Both sides clearly thought it was meant to be "years" at the time it was signed.

That'd be the thing to prove, and it's not as cut and dried when the documentation and one of the parties both say otherwise.

What's up with the internet's sudden obsession with the Bayeux Tapestry? I've seen so many posts lately here and on reddit and other places.

honestly, it's probably worth frequent bathroom visits if you don't get the gallbladder attacks.

I've seen people replace regular sponge with them for basically all of their cleaning needs. I constantly tell people, they work by being abrasive, so you're often slowly ruining whatever you're cleaning with them.

As someone that's been putting the surgery off for years, from what I can tell most people have basically zero symptoms afterwards, and those that do still aren't overly bothered by them, but there is a small but real percentage of people that have lots of digestive problems afterwards.

Like most titles that end in a ?, I'm going to assume the answer is no.

It's not on F-Droid, but I really like FBreader. You can get it directly from their website if you don't want to deal with the play store.

This seems like it'd be some sort of April Fools announcement.

My godfather that helped me get into computers used to make a decent living doing foxpro databases for companies in the 90s. We lost touch years ago, I always wondered if he stuck with it.

unless you had them put your name and phone number on it or something there is no downside to reselling it.
