Hope the rest of Europe is preparing for WWIII because there’s no way Russia actually backs down without a decisive loss. On the upside, I think any direct military action by the US would be hugely unpopular domestically. Even with the brainwashed fucktards. That doesn’t mean we’re not going to make a huge mess indirectly. I am very sorry in advance.
If that were to happen, I hope we continue our 50+ year tradition of losing wars.
Don’t be too sure. The GOP started replacing their platform with just sheer obstructionism and scapegoating [minorities] in the 1990’s. They’ve spent the last 30 years showing the public that they have no intention of “leading” and yet they now control the US government.
About 12 years ago, I promised an agent at Safeco (AKA Liberty Mutual) that they would never get another penny from me because they wouldn’t honor the terms of my policy, refusing to pay the full amount on a vehicle collision claim. They’re just another business that doesn’t keep their word. But I absolutely plan to keep mine.
PM: “How long is developing this feature going to take?”
Me: “Due to all the refactoring that’s needed --which I’ve been repeatedly bringing up for two years – just to implement it, it’s going to take about 6 months.”
PM: “Is there any way you can have it ready for the release in two weeks?”
Me: “No.”
PM: Proceeds to tell everyone that it will be ready for the release in two weeks.
I would advise against it. Separation of concerns isn’t important until it is. If your host server is unavailable for any reason, now EVERYTHING is unavailable. Having your server go down is bad. Being unable to browse the internet when your host is down and you’re trying to figure out why is worse.
There are also risks involved in running your firewall on the same host as all your other VM’s without adding a lot of complex network configurations.
There is a not insignificant number of Americans who are really fucking stupid.
This. Numerous actions taken by the administration so far have been blatantly illegal or unconstitutional. Gotta muddy the water so no one has time to focus on that.
Can’t wait to call and gripe loudly about the massive price increases to the staffers of my idiot congressman and senators.
If you’re gonna do that it should only be after sending a very blunt CYA email.

Don’t worry. We’re working overtime on it.
I also wondered what kind of rock OP lives under. I use email every day, multiple times per day. I probably send more emails than texts.
Ah, the old General Motors strategy. “We made poor business decisions for the last 30 years and were completely blindsided when it bit us in the ass.”
When the oligarchs start fighting each other instead of just the plebes. Internal power struggles are often major contributors to the collapse of an empire.
Don’t worry. We’ll totally fix all of them soon. Promise. Hand to God. They definitely will not be here five years from now.
So basically the same as a discard in C#?
Really going to suck for them when a big chunk of the properties backing their mortgage loans get repeatedly wiped out due to climate change related natural disasters and ultimately become uninsurable.
Eventually, climate change is going to hit real estate lending in certain areas really hard.
I mean, we’re talking about a guy who managed to run multiple casinos – businesses which consist mostly of taking money from people and giving less of it back – into the ground. He’s a complete moron.
