@blogdiva @skinnylatte I don't know if you've heard, but new York's got a lot of stuff

@blogdiva @skinnylatte

@blogdiva @skinnylatte search your heart. Sweetened condensed milk makes everything a dessert.

@blogdiva @skinnylatte helado aguacate is a thing now!

@blogdiva @skinnylatte I've been making soy mung bean smoothies with arbitrary frozen fruit and tea as a meal replacement once every couple days. Same steps to making soy milk but not filtering.

@pluralistic tbh I thought the point to Tesla was actually to be a land grab first through charging stations, then solar farms, and battery. All to get the land subsidized by local and federal govt in the name of saving the earth. I thought wrong I guess.

CEOs will interpret the murder of the United Health Care CEO not as a wake up call that their leadership impacts people to the point to madness, but as a further reinforcement that CEO's, leaders, and rich people in general need to be protected from these "crazy people" and that those people need to be controlled with a tighter fist.

As a huge Donnie yen fan ever since I saw him in In the Line of Duty 3 as a kid ... maybe 1 in 3 or his movies are watchable.

@chris

Best Buy Schulze is a pretty anti Muslim guy
Walmart
Amazon
Menards is really anti immigration which is really hilarious given the majority of their clientele
Sears is still run by some absentee dude in Miami I think

I actually don't know of any major local Chicago companies I should prob check them out.

Is it me or are all major appliance stores run by really horrible families. Is Lowes the least evil because it's largely owned by uh Vanguard?

@chris I mean they need to do SOMETHING right

Ngl I think Portillos had the best Polish. Tell me otherwise

@wolf480pl @ryantownsend yeah you really need someone with either a lot of foundational background to learn k8s (like early in its inception) or someone who has a lot of operational background in k8s to know its kinks to help the team get onboard

@wolf480pl @ryantownsend yeah that happens quite often! Not too long ago a company I worked at was running bare metal and keeping the business going and in a huge multi year scaling initiative, some architects chose to adopt an entirely different stack expecting to run in AWS despite having no experience running in AWS and the stack itself.

In those situations, where there's timeline and technological cliffs that the company is barreling towards, decisions to buy into something you may not understand but gives you the confidence that it *just works* are extremely easy to make.

@ryantownsend mm. I do agree with where they're getting at and it will be really cool to see if they unlock startups to self host again. The great MailChimp server migration story being something similar.

I don't think that's the cause for the insane complexity of "just launch a service" comes from though.

@ryantownsend a lot of engineers suffer from focusing on executing a solution, rather than solving a problem. With that said, going to click the link and read!

@ryantownsend I think it just depends on your situation, use cases, and constraints that a vendor may have on your needs. Of course the most paramount situation being the type of people you have on hand and the budget you have to hire what function you're lacking.

@ryantownsend I'd like to think that people aren't necessarily being malicious to keep their jobs, but moreso maybe a bit too immature in understanding the complexity of taking on a new-to-them solution, especially when they haven't had the past experience of operating a similar process.

"Let's adopt this CI/CD pipeline so that my job in troubleshooting it is secure" - said no one

@hrefna Lorena bobbit did that look what good it did for her
