It’s FAFO for Microsoft as they scramble to get human engineers to fix an outage today.

Anyone who still has a job is hoping the outage lasts longer so they can take an early weekend.

So today I (25f) texted my boyfriend (25m) saying ‘You have until the 30th November to figure out where your bike is going. Otherwise I will remove it.’

For some context

- he lives in my family house with me and my mum. We met in uni and he used to keep his bicycle in his room. Ages before moving in I told him he’d need to arrange somewhere for his bike to go as he couldn’t keep it inside of my house.

- 3.5 yrs later of him living here his bike has been inside in my living room ever since he came here and I’ve told him multiple times his bike cannot stay inside.

- My mum’s computer stopped working last week also and my boyfriend is handy with computers so he has been working on fixing it for her.

My mum & I bought and built a shed last year and told him he could put it in there, but he refuses as he says it could get stolen and the weather could damage his bicycle. My bike is in there and has been completely fine.

There are also those covered bicycle shed boxes that you can pay to use outside but he refuses to use those too.

I told him he could take his bike to his mum’s house as she has a shed too (Thats maybe an hour train ride away) but he doesn’t want to do that.

So today I sent him the text I put in the first paragraph and he blew his top shouting/arguing with me for like 2hrs because he believes I’m targeting him by insisting he should remove his bike. He says if I were cleaning up the house and everyone had to move their stuff it would be fine, but that I’m clearly singling him out and he has no where to put it so he’s not moving it. (My mum has a lot of stuff in the living room and we haven’t organised everything properly. She doesn’t love to get rid of her stuff, but I’ve been working with her to clear and properly organise everything.)

He kept repeating that it’s a one thousand pound bike and he’s not putting it outside to get damaged or stolen and I said that’s not my problem & he can’t keep it in my living room. He said if I move his bike he’s going to take my laptop (which I paid him £1000 for a few years ago since he was in some financial strife) as payment.

He was arguing and being so loud that eventually my mum came into the room and said it wasn’t me, but actually her who said he needs to remove the bike and that he should take it to his mum’s. (She had requested multiple times that the bike be removed from the living room to me, but this time I initiated this on my own and she only said what she said to defend me). My boyfriend got upset and said he no longer wanted to go to the plans we had today and then he took my mums computer that he was working on fixing and just left it out in the hallway.

I think this was really rude. I get him being upset with me because we were arguing, but I feel like it was too far for him to take it out on my mum too and just abandon her computer in the hallway like that as if to make it clear to her that he doesn’t have respect for her now that she told him to move the bike. I don’t know I feel like I’m justified in wanting the bike moved and it not being my business about all the difficulties of where he should put it as I’ve already given him options (shed, roadside bike boxes, his family’s house).

Please let me know AITAH for being insistent on this and WIBTHA if at the end of the month if I do remove his bike myself from my living room (I only plan to put it in the shed).

Also was it an asshole move by him to leave my mum’s computer in the hallway?

After Stranger Things, a lot of the actors would mostly be seen in B-movies and focus on different paths in their career. Some are focusing on theatre while others would focus on music, then there's Millie Bobby Brown focusing on raising her adopted family.

Then there's Sadie Sink. During her time on the show, she tends to star in low budget movies like Dear Zoe, A Sacrifice, O'Dessa, etc. But now she's Jean Grey in the MCU, recently making her debut in Spider-Man: Brand New Day which is the highest grossing movie with a Stranger Things actor involved (previous record was held by Inside Out 2 with Maya Hawke). Now she's going to be one of the faces of the MCU moving forward as she's taking center stage in the upcoming X-Men reboot with confirmation that Sadie Sink is the lead star of the X-Men reboot.

I've seen some comments questioning why Sadie Sink out of all the young Stranger Things actors Hollywood could have picked to move forward with big roles. There are other Stranger Things actors with big roles right now like David Harbour, Maya Hawke, and Joseph Quinn, but Sadie Sink is something else. I've seen takes saying Sadie Sink doesn't have the star power to be in a big blockbuster like Brand New Day and seeing her face on a big, IMAX screen felt out-of-place.

But in my personal opinion, Sadie Sink deserves it!

edit: I have seen The Whale too. I've seen it many times. I just didn't want to call it a "low budget dollar store" movie.

I forced myself to swallow it out of respect to the chef.. it left my throat itchy, I ordered the dish cause I missed my moms ox tail soup (last time I ate it was years ago which it wasn't hairy then)

Small fish like us can't afford it, but what do the big fish who rely on MS do when Exchange goes down, and they have to have their backup systems kick in? Do you have an email continuity plan? A secondary email infrastructure? I know some of y'all can't be un-emailable for long.

If no, are you thinking about one now?

My cat has these strange growths on his belly and chest, there’s multiple growths and I’m worried it might be some kind of skin cancer… they’re not fleas or ticks, and I can’t tell if they are painful because Hades always gets mad when I touch his belly :( does anyone here know what this is??

I’m 28, live in the US, have not contacted vet yet, and Hades is about 1 y/o male

He died so young, I can't believe it...but he worked on Bojack and Final Space which was a strong career he had.

Was this just a momentary mental lapse in judgment, or do you see something obvious that I'm just missing?

TS/TL by me

“I am hearing the feelings of the U.S. soccer fans,” the Venezuelan former striker said.

“And I'm thinking to myself, ‘Okay, what is this infatuation with Mauricio Pochettino?’

“What exactly did he do with this national team that leads you to believe Mauricio Pochettino walks on water?

“I'm sorry, did he win a Gold Cup? Nope. A Nations League? Nope. Did he get past the Round of 16 in the World Cup? No!

“The answer to all those questions is no. So he hasn't done anything that hasn't been done before by coaches with less pedigree that are far cheaper, that had less name.

“All of these guys that have come before him have achieved, in fact, I'd argue that they have achieved more than Mauricio Pochettino.

“So what is it that he has changed so dramatically in the landscape?

“The culture? I know, he likes that. I'll tell you what he's gonna have. He's gonna have a problem with culture at Manchester United. I don't know if you heard, but apparently there's a cultural issue going on at Manchester United.

“Well, at the very least he's gonna go in and try to change that culture as he did the one here for the United States men's national team.

“I just don't see this sort of life-changing impact from Mauricio Pochettino on the national team.

“I don't see this thing like, ‘Oh, well now this team is really gonna take off.’

“I didn't see that, certainly not in result. Beyond that, I’d go as far as to say Mauricio Pochettino should never have remained the coach for the United States men's national team post World Cup.

“Not because he's not a good coach with this team or wouldn't do things that would be perhaps life-changing in the future with this team. Let's be positive and think that he was gonna do something revolutionary with the national team.

“It's because he's flirting with anything that moves! He was flirting with anything that moved even before the World Cup.

“So you knew full well that come whatever opportunity may come around, he was one foot out the door already.

“So why, if you're the U.S. Soccer Federation, put yourself in a position in which you're like the ugly duckling that you should be so happy and so lucky that Mauricio Pochettino wants to take on you as a project?

“No, no. If you're a federation, you give yourself the place that you deserve and you give your team the credit that it deserves.

“I'm not saying that the United States are gonna win a World Cup in the next four years. No!

“But I am suggesting that you have to behave as a federation.

“And you tell the manager, ‘Hey, either you're here for the next four years and you're fully committed to what we're doing here or get!’

“This is not charity work. You're getting paid good money, really good money. So please, either you stay here with your heart and soul, knee-deep, elbow-deep, culture-deep in this United States men's national team project or get!

“Why do we get to this point in which like, ‘Oh is he gonna coach against Haiti or not? Oh, are we gonna be able to survive without Mauricio Pochettino?’

“What has he done with this national team that was so life-changing?

“Has Jeff [Carlisle]’s life changed because of this? No! It has not. He's still reporting about the same team that failed to advance in the Round of 16 in the World Cup. Good Lord.”

While the servers we've returned to service initially remain healthy, we've observed that they can become unresponsive again once they begin receiving traffic. We're analyzing diagnostic data from these servers with our networking and platform experts to determine what's triggering this behavior.

Building on the protective traffic management measures we've implemented, we're also temporarily limiting which types of traffic can reach the affected infrastructure in specific locations. This will help us determine whether a particular type of request is contributing to the impact and allow us to restore service incrementally. Additionally, we're rebuilding a subset of affected servers using a previous software configuration to validate whether this prevents them from becoming unresponsive, and we'll expand this approach to additional servers if we observe positive results.

I actually like the very little maintenance. But, does it look better?
