Today would have been Dr. John's 84th birthday, which was originally observed a day later and a year earlier - as wonderfully mysterious and chaotic as everything about him.

This has literally never been the case.
And companies like cloudflare exist due to fragile nature of the internet and the challenges of hosting anything on it.

Remember when the internet was designed so that it could pretty much route around most single points of failure and keep working?

I think my favorite thing about when it rains here in SoCal is our dog taking one step through the dog door, looking around at all the water, and then immediately coming back inside with her ears down as if I’ve personally betrayed her.

Two things: (1) students who take transcripts don't usually wind up *thinking* during class; they're trying to get every word down. If they actually listen carefully, then can jot down a phrase or two, and that will be enough to remind them of more of what was being said. And ...
