one of my pet peeves was the seemingly endless parade of congress-critters on CSPAN getting up to talk about something technical and starting with "i don't know how any of this techy stuff works at all but i think we should...".
no one goes to a "doctor" who starts with "i have no idea of how diseases or the body works and have no medical expertise but i think we should...".
the zoom.us issue seems to have started as a payment/account issue. the domain was on serverHold until 1:21pm PDT, which would have gotten the NS records/glue removed from the .us zone. it's now back. any trailing issues are likely to be cached NXDOMAINs in various recursive DNS servers.
we're trying to complete the foods of the world alphabet with only 3 letters left (x/y/z). there is no english name for a country with X so we're stretching the rules a bit and going with the greek spelling xile (chile). doing pastel de choclo, kind of a shepherd's pie but with a corn pudding topping rather than mashed potatoes.
yup. there is no "trump is playing 4D chess against our 'enemies'". he's eating the checker pieces, throwing ketchup, and soiling his diaper while he burns our trade reputation into ash.
someone standing up (for hours) and saying "it's not politics/business as usual" and "these are extraordinary times", calling out all the damage the WH is causing that will take years for fix, finally!
this makes the various fiascos with the patent office software and IRS rewrites seem like massive perfection by comparison. and those took years, multiple attempts, insane amounts of dollars.
of course, the problem here is that they *WANT* to completely blow all this up and don't care about the suffering and possible deaths of actual human beings this could cause.
i'd also be concerned about uber/lyft lowering your "rating" as a passenger, making those services mostly unusable.
uber/lyft are far more likely to care about not pissing off TFG/muskrat than they are passenger safety, at least while they can get insurance and avoid criminal prosecution.
Just trying to spread the good word about IPv6. Member of an obscure technical group on the internet. Still remember when it was all the ARPANET. DNS/DNSSEC.Love pretty much any musical instrument with strings and frets (and a few with just strings). Play/build/repair as many of them as I can.#guitar #mandolin #bass #music #cocktails #cooking #kumihimo #BadPuns#SlavaUkraine #BlackLivesMatter 8X#CovidBoosters
