My last job is currently controlling kubernetes with Ansible (configuration management and orchestration) in a hybrid cloud model. The new engineering director likes yaml so they put yaml on his yaml.

They make fake tattoo sleeves.

That's a good tune. One of the first I learned when I figured out power chords on the guitar.

Except in this case it's a political party instead of a tech company.

I always thought Danzig was pretty much baseline metal in the 90s. His other band was (is? I don't keep up) a few subgenres of punk.

But truthfully I don't try to keep up with how they draw genre lines. I like what I like, and Danzig makes music I like.

I have nothing useful to add to anything you've said and agree with your message.

That era of Internet history was wild. Between weird sex stuff like that and tentacle soup, weird body stuff like goatse and tubgirl, and straight up death like two guys one hammer. It seemed like every third person on the internet was trying to trick you into watching one of those.

Report, block, and move on folks. If the mods want this place to harbor racists then they'll do nothing. But you did your job.

I hate to be that guy but I'm too tired to make dinner tonight. I'm just going to order something.

The line was spoken by a green toothed hillbilly in a song he wrote. He was making fun of these types and painted them as drunk hicks.

For reference, 15 years later he had a song (the second part to this song, funny enough) that did its best to make fun of half the queer community.

Yep. A lot of these tech companies that have run in the red for years are now being called on to produce a profit and pay the big backers.

Why shouldn't they be allowed cell phones, at least as a privilege? They shouldn't be allowed to harass anyone, but they're people. JPay and other predatory companies put an undue burden on families just trying to talk to their loved ones (who, let's face it, may not be guilty) in the pen. There are even worse companies that pretend to be places where you can send money or put money on a phone card for a loved one but once you get to the fine print it's just a scam. That dries up if you just allow folks the opportunity to talk to their family during their downtime.

But fuck them, I guess. People are in jail to be punished and if they don't have the maximum amount of punishment 24x7 along with their families then we're not really getting our money's worth.

Or maybe he's talking on a butt phone.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
