This whole work from home thing could be interesting
Oh how I hate daylight savings time. I'm dead on my feet it's a Monday, and there's a full moon. I'm going back to bed

Have you guys seen this? It's horrendous.
Bloomberg.
Farmers fight John Deere over repairs maintenance.
So if John Deere installs software that allows them to disable starting an 800K$ combine remotely and something sabotaged that? How is this not a threat to our food supply and a National Security concern?
Oh and the best part... If they had listened originally to what I said we wouldn't have had a stressful and hectic week
Who says pushing buggy code to production isnt fun....
It's totally fun, QA got what they and the business unit (supposedly) asked for job runs definitely not what the business unit asked for. Much fighting and annoyance, trash talking about me, me and others proving our side right, someone in QA finally pays the fuck attention, says that change they requested is the dumbest thing ever, set job back to act exactly like the old one with a few minor changes... Let's see if they like it on Tuesday
2020 and I'm starting the year off on a completely new slate, by forgetting to do the stuff I promised todo today 😅😅

Talk about a wet and drery day, it's ~40f out, it's raining like no tomorrow, the fire wood is soaked, doors and windows r leaking this is great
after 2 years of having the galaxy s7 (in which I almost immediately busted the back camera ~6 months) it is soo nice to have an s10 with a working back camera

The internets is a haven for hyperbole.
After claims that Placido Domingo has been "cancelled" due to allegations of sexual harrassment (last time I looked, he was still giving concerts and you could still buy his CDs and DVDs), we now have anti-vaccination campaigners claiming that they are being silenced.
This is total tosh. I cannot move on social media without bumping into a whining, scientifically illiterate ant-vaccine twerp. And most of them complain about "censorship".
Irony, irony.
First major snowstorm of the year. Glad I get to work remote tomorrow.
Stay safe out there people if you must travel through bad weather

So that SMS snafu where valentines messages were delivered a yesterday?
This highlights yet another reason not to use SMS as a 2FA if it can be avoided. This is not the only 3rd party carrier to handle your data. Who's to say there's not a trusted insider threat who placed a back door in one of these systems?
Not going to lie really wish I could create a couple new methods inside Java.time.localdate right now and have it become an actual part of the downloadable jvm & jdk
