@th3j35t3r I swear I didn't interact with her!

@LibraryLinda @see_the_sus *A* coffee a day barely keeps the caffeine withdrawal headaches away. It takes at least three to tame grumpy.

@opie Nah, it sends the packets in parallel staggered, then waits for them all to return. It was likely just over 12 minutes (The 700 seconds of the first packet.) I'm betting all four came back near-simultaneous. Just the delay between transmits accounting for the different times. (since each successive packet takes less time.)

@opie When all else fails - blame the dog. 😂

@opie Again, check the number of digits.

1,000 ms = 1 s
632,991 ms = 632 s

@opie Check the number of digits - 632 - 700 seconds.

@TheNewsOwl While an interesting concept, at a quarter million dollars, it's kind of ridiculous.

The Sono Sion and Aptera will be much more reasonable.

@opie His followup-message?

"... I am now somewhere on the way from Mars to outer planets, apparently. Seriously tho, how the hell ICMP echo managed to not timeout in 700 seconds?"

@feloneouscat His apartment building is using one Starlink terminal among them. (That he set up.)

Wow. My coworker in Ukraine still has internet, even though power is spotty.

His ping times are.... not good.

@voltronic I think they deleted their account.

Requirement to get a cat when you buy a house, confirmed.

Sales: "How come our demo instance isn't upgraded to the new version yet?!"

Me: "Because engineering hasn't declared it GA yet."

<some time passes>

Engineering: <sends GA announcement email>

Me, on Slack to sales team "Okay, going to upgrade demo instances now if no complaints."

Sales: "Wait! We're busy using it! Wait until 5!"

Sales: "No, that won't work either, APAC sales will be using it then!"

FFS...

So you want me to upgrade it, but really not.

@corlin I do enjoy a good footnote character! †

†Really.

@HopeNotWorry Missed the poll when it was live, but I always thought my way was the "odd way" - good to know I'm actually in the majority! Wife/kid always eat straight from the tin (usually tin placed in a bowl so they don't burn themselves.)

@tomtom4468 "I HATE EVERYTHING NEW!"

@sugar0addict But some lives do matter less!

My kid has a good 50 kg less matter than me.

Oh, wait, word order...

Masked fren not happy I pulled the bird feeder in overnight.
