Priority 0.

It's the everything is fucked, get everybody here even if they're meant to be asleep or off today thing for these types of companies.

Edit: Specifically

P0
  • Complete loss of access to the Cloudflare application or API.
  • Degraded access to the Cloudflare application or API (⪯ 98% as measured worldwide or from any major region).
  • Complete loss of access to, or major performance degradation to, a Tier-1 Data Center.
  • Degraded performance of any Tier-1 global transit provider (⪰ 20% packet loss worldwide or 30% packet loss from any major region).
  • Degraded access to or performance of any critical system.

from Cloudflare's support pages.
 
P0 is usually the emergency code for a critical hardware or software failure and no one knows what, exactly, failed. Basically, something critical died for a bit. It is, like Darren said, sufficiently bad that people who normally are meant to be off-site were probably called in for additional expertise and manpower.

My experiments with Dalle continue. It's fun to see how close this little thing gets.

I hope it gets to human levels quickly. And then beyond.
 
I just found out there's apparently a whole manga about the Qin conquest of China.......with Qin as the protagonists.

If nothing else, it'll be fun to read.
 
On that friend of mine, it turned out to be something appropriately petty but funny. She was just tired after a really terrible week and got angry about how her little sister was getting more attention from her mom over "stupid things". She is pretty embarrassed about it, and implied we should all forget about it.

Strange how childish some get at times, but oh well.
 
I just noticed "Clussy/clownussy" is a big obsession on Twitter and/or other places lately.

What happened?
Did a sex god take offense to their clown gig be mocked?

Sexy Girl Clowns just infinite in power?

Anti-Clown propaganda is finslly failing?

Though, from personal experience poking around the internet. It seems as though this a very US specific phobia.

Did the number of people openly horny for clowns around the world just finally out number the people vocally afraid/hateful of clowns?

A Character from Ace Attorney, called "Geiru Torneido/Gale Tornado" got really, really popular because someone on Youtube made an animation featuring her, and now everything is clown girls.

It was an unlikely string of events that lead a character from a game released in 2016 to gain random meme potential.

Ah, so that explains it.
 
How's the strategy of sending your strongest warriors to divert the attention of the enemy, forcing them to either send their own to engage them out of paranoia? Sound like it'll work?

They're usually called 'scouts' and that's been a long and beloved strategy since the beginning of military history. There aren't a lot of large militaries that didn't have some brand of Special Forces available.

Yeah.

Alexander the Great, for example, called his Special Forces units the Shieldbearers, and they usually served on his flanks, but were redeployed as needed to cover the gaps between his many Phalanxes and whatever bullshit his Cavalry ended up pulling.

Still looping as of 9:AM US/Eastern time.

It's been like that for over a day now.


EDIT: Loop was 30 hours, and unfortunately as of this message it was just broken. Oh wait, they're playing it one last time for fun and/or to try to claim ownership of the protest.

If it was a publicity stunt it was pretty effective. But I suspect it was a protest against the new owner.

EDIT 2 : removed link, there's nothing to see hear anymore

I wonder how many fics on this site could be classified as Grindhouse tbh.
Would make a gorefiend like me smirk
 
This week has had an athletic effect on me even if it's been 30°C on the regular.
Earlier walked around the loop back home like three times with only respite being the swap of water bottle between them.
Just now got back from going around the track behind mom's place; walked around once, around 2.3km, then went for another round. But after maybe 50m was going up a hill and started spontaneously jogging. When I got to the top I figured how far I could go in one go, and got to the halfway crossing which is around 1km. Stopped, stretched a bit, then walked the rest of the way back and downed a .5l bottle of water.
That's more jogging than I've jogged/ran in like the last 7 years combined. Now, shower.

I don't know where you live, but a lot of the world is getting hit with unusually warm weather. I hope it works out all right for you.

Apropos of nothing, having just gone to a ren fair I now know that eating a large turkey leg is a lot tougher than the media, especially medieval-esque isekai anime, make it look.
 
Is it douche to act elitist about the media you and others consume?

Depends on context, as so many things do. There are times and places where it's fine... a fair number of the general threads on this site (or the internet in general) are specifically made for such things. No level of douche doing it there.

Lots of douche doing it at someone's funeral.

Most scenarios fall somewhere between those extremes.
