Some day a couple million years ago, someone beheld just such a creature and thought "I'm going to make a soft little version of that for my child."

You post sheep and goats a lot.

February–March at our community farms is my idea of heaven. One stone sheepcote dates from the 18th century, and the kids are climbing up on the stones they can get to before they're two days old.

Their schedules work well – the lions slumber while the lambs gambol, and the sheep snooze while the lionesses stalk the wildebeests.

Sorry to interject but as a reminder to all of us who see Sir's failing health as the last tool left to law enforcement and righteous justice, I have eight words:

"They've kept Dick Cheney alive all this time".

Due to the widespread skepticism concerning Trump's bragging about acing the dementia test the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test has been updated to make the claim more credible.

I know it's not the most important thing, but someday I hope to read a thorough history of how the supposed attack by 15-year-olds on Edward "Big Balls" Coristine served as the Trumpers' Horst Wessel.

PAB on his DC efforts:

“We’re going to make it beautiful again. We’re going to fix it with crime, and we’re going to also, as we’re doing that, we’re going to start doing things that we know how to do, that I know how to do better than anybody, I guess, because of my experience from previous life.”

“It’s a natural instinct as a real estate person,” Mr. Trump told reporters as he compared his envisioned makeover of Washington to his recent gold-trimmed makeover of the White House. “I was very good at that, and I was very good at fixing things up. I like fixing things up.”

Maybe left leaning youtubers should do a weekly round up of which incompetent idiots are out of the administration and which in. Just tell us if the Felon-in-Chief appoints someone who's actually qualified. They're likely much more dangerous anyway

I bet there is financial evidence in the files that Trump having the teen modeling and teen pageant businesses trafficked young girls to Epstein. Perhaps that is why we never saw Trump’s taxes.

Trump is gonna eat EJ Antoni alive. EJ can post all the false numbers he wants in a bid to flatter his fragile boss, but it's not gonna improve the economy, and he'll end up getting crucified.

Especially in late 2018.

I'm new at a multibillion dollar company and they've made me the most senior engineer in the place. I'm doing quite well.

I'm investigating their janky-ass feature flagging thing which they got off github and hacked. It uses redis as its key-value backend. Nothing really wrong with that.

I'm trying to work out how many "dead" keys there are in there. So I run something in the live production redis terminal.

Redis single threads. There's a reason for this. I'd forgotten and ran something naive.

Redis blocks. It's shut down. We had screens up showing "site status" - I glance over just in time to see everything go red. The entire site is down. Cue panic. The Chief Product Officer comes running out and yells "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? [FUKUI] WHAT IS IT?"

My reply "I know what it is. Working on it."

Now I've elided the bit where I caused it there. Then I do Alec Guinness.

Fixed it in five minutes (reboot of redis; it has a disk cache). Shit though, that was something.

Probably going to forget this when the open thread rolls around this evening, but maybe sticking on here will remind me.

"Air Force wants to buy Tesla Cyber Trucks for missile practice"

//

A formal report justifies the choice of the Cyber Truck because of “its design, materials, impact resistance, and innovative technologies.”

The trucks will be part of a 33-vehicle fleet which will be used for target practice, though it is the only one specified by make and model.

If they want to take target practice on commercial vehicles, might I suggest a Toyota pickup with a bed-mounted machine gun?

That's what all the cool terrorists are driving.
