Guys, I got the backpack 😭 I love it, it's so cute and also very big. It has 3 big pockets (one of them is for the laptop) and 3 "small" ones. It's perfect

The #Crowdstrike outage is/was ____________.

i have to add that of course wasting books isn't good, but i'm pretty sure there is either some regulatory shenanigans at play, making it cheaper to just recycle them OR it is really cheaper and thus more effective.

publishers would LOVE to accurately determine how many copies they will sell while keeping people reading these cheap paperbacks happy. trashing the books is costing the publishers money. putting the extra books into recycling at least pays back a bit.

if someone does buy the extra copies for the same amount that would probably be fine as well, but there is a reason these books didn't sell - nobody wanted them in the first place.

Crowdstrike software is doing its job beautifully; computers that can't boot can't get hacked :blobcatsmug:

I send an email once a month for work and include a corny joke to get people to actually open it. I saw this one @sundogplanets and thought of you:

As I was driving to work one day, I spotted a woman standing out in a large field next to a telescope. She wasn't using the scope, just standing next to it.

On my way home the same woman is there, just standing in a large field with a telescope.

This scene repeated itself for a few more days, every time I drove past this large field.

@Czerion @DCR habs aber 1:5 mit anderem öl verdünnt, sonst ists zu doll glaub ich :D

@DCR @Czerion hab jetzt zitroneneukalyptusöl getestet gegen stechende und beissende tierchen, scheint zu funktionieren!

What I'm hearing is that the entire crowd went on strike today.
