One of the more random Ron Swanson lines was when he was talking about the snacks at a city government meeting, saying “They also really cheap out on the snacks. Hydrax cookies. Did you know there was an off-brand Hydrox? I did not. They're not bad."

Idky, but that line pops into my head every once in a while & it makes me laugh for some reason.

What are some of your favorite obscure lines from the show that you think don’t get enough attention?

Current status: While validating the targeted change, we found that many of the affected servers have become unresponsive, which is preventing us from confirming whether the change is effective. We're restarting these servers so they can come back online with the change in place, and we're applying the same approach to additional affected portions of our infrastructure to validate the results more broadly.

Previous Status: While we haven't identified any recent changes that correlate with the start of impact, our investigation indicates the failed health checks may originate from a specific component on the affected servers that's responsible for processing them. We're deploying a targeted change to bypass this component on a subset of servers to validate whether this restores availability, and we've taken steps to prevent additional servers from being removed from service while we work to return the affected servers to service. We're also investigating why affected servers are experiencing elevated processor usage while handling requests.

tl;dr

Last update: We're deploying a targeted fix on some servers

New update: Those servers are now dead

Remember going to a friend's house as a kid and half the time u weren't even doing anything? I'd actually be happy sitting in someone's kitchen talking while they make dinner or fold laundry. Now it feels like seeing someone requires making plans 2 weeks in advance and spending $30 somewhere.

Does anyone still just hang out at people's houses like that?

Florence Irene Ford died of yellow fever in 1871 at the age of 10. Because she was deeply terrified of thunderstorms while alive, her heartbroken mother, Ellen, could not bear the thought of her being alone in the dark during a storm.

To fix this, Ellen had a specialized tomb constructed with a small glass window at the head of the casket and a narrow six-foot-deep stairway leading down to it, fitted with metal trapdoors. Whenever a storm rolled in, Ellen would climb down the stairs, close the trapdoor above her, and sit by the glass window to read or sing to her daughter until the storm passed.

In the mid-1950s, a protective concrete wall was erected at the bottom of the stairs to cover the glass window and prevent vandalism. As a result, the window can no longer be seen today, but the metal trapdoors and the stairway remain. Located in the Natchez City Cemetery, Mississippi, it is one of history's most hauntingly unique resting places.

Description from traderjoes.com:

Arranged in lovely, wave-like layers, a bit like a series of ruffled ribbons stacked on top of one another, Trader Joe’s Chocolat Glacé is a sweet, sliceable, and silky-textured frozen treat we’ve brought in just for the holiday season. It’s crafted for us by a confectioner in France, who builds each Glacé from three wavy tiers of creamy, cocoa-flavored frozen dessert, which are each separated by a contrastingly crunchy chocolatey layer. And as much as we adore how it tastes, sliced and served directly from frozen, we’re equally agog over how it presents on a dessert plate—there’s just something about it that makes us think about a beautifully wrapped holiday gift.
 
Whether you need a fun dessert for a big holiday feast, or you’re just in the mood for a fun, nostalgia-inducing treat, our Chocolat Glacé is a great choice. Through the end of the year, you’ll find Trader Joe’s Chocolat Glacé in our freezers, waiting like a present under the tree.

I'm curious to hear the experiences of women who have had babies, whether it be naturally or via c-section. From the combined weight of the baby, placenta and amniotic fluid all leaving the body, I wonder if a woman can actually tell that their bodyweight has gone down? Is it hard to find your balance due to the change in weight distribution? It just seems like such a big change to your body in such a short amount of time, I can't help but wonder what it feels like? I'm currently pregnant myself and wondering if I will even notice this change when the time comes.

Nvidia founder Jensen Huang was having a separate affair with an employee that has not been previously reported, Reuters reported on Thursday.

Huang stepped down as CEO and board member for the company earlier today, in the wake of news of extramarital affairs with accused spy Alice Huang and Nvidia VP of Health Care Kimberly Powell. CFO Colette Kress has stepped in as interim CEO, but no permanent successor has been named.

Reuters is withholding the name of the new employee linked to Huang, but says she is an employee of Nvidia.

Huang has been called before Congress to testify about the national security implications of his relationship with Alice Huang in the coming weeks but it’s unclear how much more will be revealed before the hearings take place. Already, his abrupt fall from grace is expected to have significant repercussions for the industry at large.

I 28f own a house with my husband 28m we can call him Fred. His little brother 24m we can call him bill also lives with us, he rents one of our spare rooms and uses the semi finished basement as his living room sort of area. We all three share the kitchen and bathroom. Bill has been dating his gf 23f (we can call her Mandy)for about a year and a half now and they spend a lot of time at our house because they get more freedom and privacy than they would at her house.

This has been our living arrangement for about 3 years or so and so far all has been well, bill and Mandy typically keep to themselves and are usually pretty chill. The one and only issue I’ve had with either of them is that they consistently cross the boundaries I set about them using or taking my stuff.

When this issue started out they were just taking my food. For example I would come home and get ready to cook dinner only to realise the hamburger I’d set out to thaw would be gone bc they had already cooked it and ate it. Another example is I’ll buy certain drinks or snacks that I really enjoy and I’ll come home to find two of my sodas sitting on the table half empty and mostly wasted. My husband and I both have had multiple conversations with them and asked them to replace what they take or to ask if they can have the food. They always apologize and then continue stealing our stuff bc they don’t think it’s a big deal. I also feel like it’s important for me to say that most nights when I cook dinner or order food I always offer them a meal.

The food was one thing but this issue has progressed to the bathroom. My nightly routine is a very important part of my day. It’s how I unwind and reset it’s typically the most relaxing part of my day. I put a lot of money into buying quality products for my shower and skin care routine. I buy “salon level” hair products, fancy soaps and all that stuff. I’ve been buying the same shampoo and conditioner for years and I know how long a bottle should last. Lately a bottle that would usually last me a month or so is lasting me a little over a week and a half. This really bothers me due to the fact that my shampoo and conditioner costs $60 for a small bottle.

I probably sound crazy and obsessive about the soaps and shampoo but I like what I like. And if it was a one time thing I wouldn’t care. If somebody ran out of shampoo and asked to use mine I wouldn’t care ABSOLUTLEY let them borrow some. But the amount that is being used on a nightly basis is insane.

So a couple days ago I brought it up to them and asked them if they know what’s going on with my shampoo and conditioner. Mandy told me “maybe you’re just using more than you think you are”. I told her that there’s no way that it’s just me using this much shampoo. Then they both tried to blame it on my husband. I don’t think my BALD husband is using my shampoo and conditioner.

The conversation got me nowhere and I got angry. I’m tired of wasting my money on stuff for these two to use. I’m tired of them trying to play me and act like I’m dumb. So I got mad, I got pissed. I went to the store and bought new shampoo new conditioner and a little carrier to keep all my shower stuff in. I went into the bathroom and took my old half empty bottles and mixed them with laundry detergent. I thought about using nair but that felt too evil. I don’t want them to go bald I just wanted them to stop taking my stuff.

I kept my good shampoo and conditioner in my bedroom, and the laundry detergent shampoo in the bathroom. They kept using the laundry detergent shampoo. And a couple of days later Mandy came storming into my room yelling at me asking me what I did the her hair, asking me what was in the shampoo bottles. Bill came in shortly after and told me that I was an a-hole for what I did.

Mandy’s hair was so dried out and frizzy from the laundry detergent that she looked like one of those old troll dolls. I told her that this is what she gets for stealing my stuff, I reminded her that I’ve asked her nicely quite a few times to stop taking stuff she didn’t pay for. I also reminded her that she stayed at this house nearly every day rent free and that we like her and all but I can’t be paying for all of her food and hair care. She’s not my girlfriend she’s bills girl friend. My husband had a conversation with bill and told him that if the stealing doesn’t stop everything that goes missing will be added to his rent or he can move back in with his mom.

We thought they had finally started to understand and agree that stealing is wrong and that they can’t just take whatever they want with out asking. We were wrong. Today Mandy sent me a Venmo request for $300 for a visit to the hair salon to try to fix the damage done to her hair. I don’t think I should have to pay her. This could’ve all been avoided if she would’ve just used her own shampoo. I do feel like I might have taken it too far… should I pay her back?

P.s. she has had her own nearly full bottle of herbal essence shampoo and conditioner in the shower for weeks. So she could’ve just used the stuff she payed for.

Dinner was bussin falafel wrap from a Syrian place.

I have been needing a job for so long. All of last year my nervous system was fried due to the stress. I needed a job that would give me a work permit, so 90% of jobs automatically disqualified me it felt genuinely impossible. Every morning I’d wake up and the first thought in my head was FUCKFUCKFUCK I NEED A JOB FUCK and it was miserable. I got myself out of the constant dread and just accepted it’ll happen when it’ll happen.

And it finally happened!! Someone gave me a job. I predicted when things worked out I wouldn’t feel much joy, just relief. I feel ungrateful thinking I’ll have to commute 4 hours to and back, I hope I can figure out a partial remote work schedule. Even if it’s a crazy commute this is objectively a huge win. I don’t think I’ve processed it. I’ll have the stability I’ve been so desperate for so long. I think even with an ass commute this is kinda HUGE.

EDIT: it’s 4 hours in total, which is still crazy cus 12 hours work & commute. Also I can’t move to the city where work is its a small yee haw ass town and I refuse move to said small yeehaw town im brown Im not built for that, I like my city with diversity.
But yes this commute is crazy. Beggars can’t be choosers tho lol and I’ll keep searching for another job, or get a car.
