    The NGO I served with got shut down by an international ransomware organization 3 years ago. It was unbelievable. Crowdstrike was one of the keys to recovery. I agree with @Sam Lin, you should be thanking them. 

    Probably 30% of global CO2 emissions is the enormous power consumption of security Busyware cranking our corporate laptops on overdrive.  (Fuck you Crowdstrike, Broadcom, Palo Alto NW).

    If there isn't food left over, you failed as a host. No one will take the last items on a plate out of courtesy, so you need to never get down to the last items for everyone to actually be sated.

    If this isn't already the premise for a Seinfeld or Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, then Larry David fucked up

    While I’m sure Diabete is having fun banging out models on Air Force One, he must understand his mother is part of the hive mind. He was at the lunch in Bilbao. He heard Carol’s point about the shared consciousness. 
     

    Ick dude. 

    but think about it: 3 billion chicks at the same time.

  5. Car got pelted by a hailstorm. Got tons of little dents that weren't even visible unless you tried looking for them.

    But because my insurance policy explicitly exempts storm damage from tweaking my rates, I made a claim for repair.

    The real shitstorm: repair cost $9k plus $2k for 3 weeks of rentals. Car is worse off in every way since they (insurer-suggested shop) fucked up the trims, scratched my headlight housing, oversprayed into things like my windows, my side mirror doesnt fucking work, etc. To top it off, insurance is trying to raise my rates despite it being a clearcut exemption.  

    Had I'd known all this shit I'd just negotiate for $5k cash and leave the car as-is.

    Did a reverse sear with a butter baste on a super thick aged ribeye and felt the final flavor was just *too* fatty and unctuous. 

    Did it again. A Sandwich Sear this time. Quick sear to start, super low oven to 100F, then final sear & baste to 125F to finish.

    I like the interior and it was very tender but the outside was a bit too fatty and oily compared to a dry grill/broil.
