There's a very easy solution to all of this.

I find it useful for donkey work, spitballing and spiking largely throwaway stuff, beyond that when it goes wrong it often takes longer to sort it out than any time saved.

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

I still dont quite understand the math of a company that posted $25.8B in last quarter's profit then cuts 3% of their workforce

maybe thats why I was never cut out for management

UK Issues Travel Advisory for North Carolina & Mississippi

If you want to know how serious our decline in the UK, when North Carolina did what the Labour Government and EHRC have done, the then UK Government told LGBT+ people to beware travelling there.

sure, but I do like to be able to work more granularly than that πŸ˜„ (our product also seriously needs a baseline, we have thousands and thousands of migrations, so takes a while to rebuild from scratch 😬)

I agree, but for that I normally have a "cleanup script" I manually run as and when I need it, tweaked to remove anything I need to rework, rather than a "down script" in the migration tool of choice.

Public service announcement. They are not Dire Wolves. They have 20 single letter changes in their entire genomes. I’ve done shits with more mutations.

Every time journalists write up a Colossus press release, They are making people stupider. Client journalism by a ridiculous company.

I explained it to several young teens today: imagine we wanted you to become more self-sufficient in the kitchen, so we decided to charge you $20 every time you got takeout. But also we have no food in the house, we won't let you go to the store, and also you don't know how to cook.

whenever I go anywhere non-English speaking I always try and grab a bag of local crisps where I have absolutely no idea what flavour they're going to be.. the weirder looking the better πŸ˜‚
