Last year, while visiting #sonTwo and meeting #GS3 in person for the first time, I asked my daughter-in-law about smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. She said they had one of each, but she wanted more. So I ordered a few of each and they put them up.
Tonight, the gas stove wasn't turned all the way off and the CO detectors went off. Daughter-in-law put the kids and the dog on the porch, then opened the windows and investigated until she found the source. My son was at work.
sonTwo called me to tell me that his wife had called him at work to let him know that the detectors may have saved all their lives. Naturally, they're both quite thankful. -

whatever your politics, Menards can fuck right off with their "oh woe is us a small little family business" nonsense. -

also, https://www.retailwire.com/discussion/menards-says-it-is-not-building-a-store-because-of-obama/ -- I'm not going to go down the rabbit hole. They are based in Wisconsin. I have lived in Wisconsin and live not so far from there now (an easy weekend morning bike ride to get there). Just trust me on this one. -

Another possible interpretation of what MSFT was doing when they censored the "tank man" image. -

There have been several virus escapes over the years, possibly including the 1976-1977 Swine Flu /H1N1 influenza outbreak. -

I would add this

While this would mainly have to deal with the content that is being hosted, depending on the LJ they might not care if you actually posted it or were just hosting it.

>Article 112 of Thailandβs criminal code says anyone who insults the king, queen, heir or regent faces punishment of up to 15 years in prison.
I am sure they are not the only one to have laws like this and they may well include other things. -

"Unca Steve, I heard about something called 'Fermat's Last Theorem', I guess you probably know something about that?"
"I was hoping you'd ask that!"

jira is down, and I lost a response. I'm going to retype it and then do some learning on #OpenShift, #Prometheus, and #Grafana. -

I see an update for #AndStatus. Yuri, have you been keeping track of the changes in #GNUsocial ? Are you ready to support the new API (and updated #OAuth) on upgraded instances? -

well, the thing is, this is basically one slide. This whole project has been weird because usually we do services stuff solo, but this has been a tag team. And that's fine, I've never done services work like this before, but just this one particular task seems particularly odd.
Actually, it's even weirder because this was supposed to be done by a different team, but then they realized they didn't have the expertise, so there are really three different people working this. It's an absolute shit show, but hey powerpoint slide. -

I forgot to mention it, but my daughter-in-law is out of the hospital. Everyone is home.
Baby ( #GS4 ) is going back for his first doctor visit soon. -
