That season had so much potential…

about bees revolting against a corrupt system

Or is it about bees going astray because of a disinformation campaign? Because the bees on the movie really like the work… like bees.

killed by gas

I really don’t remember if the movie explicitly acknowledges that the gas doesn’t kill the bees. But this is absolutely about hyper-judicialization of society and a sleazy lawyer clearly lying to the audience and getting rewarded by that.

The movie doesn’t fully anthropomorphize the bees. If you decide they are something the movie doesn’t make them be, you can take any moral instance you want from it. It just won’t be what’s on the movie.

Just keep in mind that the cat’s policy is precarious and dependent on the continuation of quid pro quo.

It’s chemicals that make signals jump between neurons in your head. Electricity acts entirely withing single neurons.

Also, that’s a control spell, not a summoning one.

And you can get 1F capacitors in bulk from China for a few dozen dollars each.

Those things are still dangerous and scary. The 1T magnet way more so than the capacitor.

I remember reading about their names in explainxkcd. I think the only one never named in the comics is Cueball.

For a while, there was a blog, but I don’t think it named any character.

Some of the world is improving. Some has been regressing. The last 30 years weren’t a very stable time, and even the accounts of what is happening is not reliable. Not acknowledging that has been incredibly harmful for everybody.

Anyway, yes, improve your life and the society around you. It’s what you can do.

In Civilization, if you take a city from some player and offer peace, they almost always agree.

Are you saying international diplomacy isn’t like a 90s video game?

I imagine the flat-earthers wouldn’t accept that shape as “flat”.

Shouldn’t it be The Quest for More Money?

I remember that’s the title we were promised.

Well, we are still not in a nuclear war.

And anyway, the way mankind gets over it is the largest deus ex machina ever created in sci-fi. So, don’t count on it either.

' 1=1; begin drop_warp_core(); end; --

Wow, they expected genetic engineering to move way faster.

Now I’m not finding that youtube video about a guy not being mugged because the sci-fy story of the mugger happens too early and he can’t believe in it…

God is not great dealing inside of that ‘time’ thing…

You test your backup by recreating your system, either in a local environment or in some cheap simulated one.

It’s even better if you write a manual with the steps you needed. And try to follow (and update it) when you do it again.

I figure the most bang for my buck right now is to set up off-site backups to a cloud provider.

If you don’t have the budget for on-premises backup, you almost certainly can’t afford to restore the cloud backup if anything goes wrong.

Then I started reading about backing up databases

Go read the instructions for your database in particular. They are completely different from each other. Ignore generic instructions.

now I’m configuring a docker-db-backup container

What is perfectly fine. But I’d first look how this interferes with the budget you talked about earlier and if it wouldn’t be better to keep things simpler and put the money on data replication.

Either way, if your budget is low, I’d focus a lot on making sure you have the data when you need to restore, and less on streamlining the restore procedure. (That seems to be the direction you are going, so yeah, I’d say it’s good.) Just make sure to test the restore procedure once in a while.

Was it before or after the “pedo submarine” thing?

Because I’m having a hard time understanding how much attention one would need to pay.

You mean 3 days sleeping 8 hours and working 16, and then 4 days off?

Because that isn’t adding up to half the time working.

Two shifts means you are working half the time.

Accidents with small aircraft and near misses happen all the time. And yeah, you can see how the media report those more after a large accident.

The Boeing stuff doesn’t happen, at no frequency. They are a one-off. You can maybe point at Fokker, but they are an example of the normal situation, where a plane improves more slowly than the average and becomes dangerous by inertia.
