This was a really honest and nice read. I also appreciated the last paragraph.

Personally I work at a FAANG adjacent big tech company and dream of quitting every fucking second

Yah it’s a bit wild. I had an internship there 10 years ago. The tech was fine (same shit you see at any tech company). The vibe however was just like — wow this place was probably cool 50 years ago

There was no data loss in this incident. There is literally one guy crawling the forums and twitter bitching despite CF confirmation he lost no data.

Personally long time R2 user and it’s fantastic. Seems the “outage” affected temporary availability on < .01%

Yah I’m a vegetarian so this one probably isn’t my cup of tea

Honestly SO helped me a lot in Uni 10 years ago. However I was banned 5+ times for just asking a normal question with attempts at answering. Can’t say I’m surprised. It was not welcoming, massively exclusive and had a rude community. RIP

First pic in article looks like fucking backrooms

My insurance says ambulance rides are covered 100%. Apparently most are out of network though, which the people have no choice of choosing (obviously).

I was sent a post insurance $8000 bill. After months and months of arguing they said it was an error on their side and dropped the charge. Absolutely ridiculous

Idk man the article in the NYT explaining how fucked Seattle is got a Pulitzer Prize

I fainted once and my wife called an ambulance as I was unconcious due to Covid.

I was fully aware when the ambulance arrived and refused. They peer pressured me very hard anyways. It was a 1 mile drive and cost me $14,000

When the “big one” hits Seattle, the PNW is absolutely cooked. Not to fear monger but the fear in my eyes seems somewhat realistic. Anyone care to fact check me here?

Hacked

In London now. So fucking hot. I pay like $4k USD for this flat that is barely even acceptable living accommodation on a cold day.

My kitchen hit 37C. I started to look for a new flat. Nothing with AC, but trying to find something on the ground floor. Unfortunately rent is incredibly expensive here even for an old building that barely has functioning water pressure.

I’m really torn about London right now.
