I lived in Orlando when the Pulse nightclub shooting happened. I also used to work in the arts and was transitioning into a different industry when it happened. In the days following the shooting, every arts organization in the area contacted each other about putting together some kind of tribute. They asked me to stage manage it. There was next to no rehearsal time, so many opportunities for people to get self-conscious and let their ego take over (and there's no shortage of that in the arts), and everything just... came together. My boss volunteered to be my assistant for the day, because titles didn't matter and everything was about making this beautiful offering to the community to help process what had happened. Anytime someone would ask, "would you consider trying this crazy thing?" the answer was always, "Absolutely. We can do that." Local companies donated supplies. World-renowned artists shared the stage with virtual-nobodies, and everyone was so earnest and genuine in the offering they wanted to make to their community that there just wasn't room for anything except the very best of every person. No one knew how it was going to turn out, and the fact that it ended up being perfect was a testament to everyone's trust, talent, and courage. It was the most stunning display of collective selflessness I've ever witnessed.
What's honestly funniest about the situation is that she never scratched or bit anyone; she was 100% bluster and 0% follow-through. It's just that her bluster was exceptionally convincing.
We had a Bengal who saw the cancer doc for several years. Every time they saw her, the report said, "She was bright and alert today," which we knew was code for, "We're fortunate to have escaped with our lives."
You're a good person and a good pet parent. All you can do is just keep doing the next right thing, until the only right thing left is to keep her from suffering. She's lucky to have you.
Orlando has a place like that, called Griffin Park. Air quality studies there have been very telling, Though you don't need an air quality study to tell you it's bad; you can just look at the incredible amount of soot in the area.
We had a cat who loved when we'd turn the lights on and off before bed, and we think he eventually thought we could control the sun, too, because he'd yell at us when his window spot wasn't sunny enough for his liking.
They use AWS and specifically design their software to be able to dynamically scale, ever since Wandavision crashed their playback.
Is it possible that they never entertained having to make their cancellation page scalable? Sure. Is it more likely that they intentionally haven't made it scalable? Yes.
I'm so sorry. You deserve better than that. You deserve someone to listen to you and tell you how important you are to then. So allow me: You, andros_rex, are important to me. I mean that. Your existence makes the world better, and thus, you literally touch my life in a positive way by just being here and being you. You are very clearly a good teacher (otherwise you wouldn't have been offered a job in the first place) not to mention a good person, and I wish there were more people like you, with your skills, to have a positive impact on the world around them.
You're in the lowest low-point of your life right now. Situations always change, so it's statically impossible for you to be in this low point forever. Stick around and keep being the amazing person I'm absolutely certain you are, even if it's just out of spite... don't let those assholes win.
This is beautiful; absolutely love the highlights!
Working with ByteDance on self-driving tech is...certainly a choice.

Find a new job.

It could also be an unintentional discovery of some kind of cross-site vulnerability, causing someone else's history ends up on your account.
I just found it in the Play Store. Search for the app's name, "Nearby Glasses."

Terrifying from a data privacy perspective, but nice to see that AI isn't being used to explicitly further greed in every conceivable instance.
That nose is quite possibly the best thing ever
They also had to get rid of the NASCAR crosswalk in Daytona. Oops.
And just like that, a close-to-$1k purchase will become a paperweight, taunting the purchaser from beyond the grave.

It's all the Halo he played, obviously.

Yep. That's how my father wrote his "and" symbols.
