Laughed that our corporate net nanny software gave me an "are you sure you want to visit this website??" interstitial before I got to the page. Super useful!

My doctor’s office ran a clinic for current patients, and I was able to get mine about a month ago. Really grateful that they ran the clinic! Normally I would get them from a grocery store pharmacy but my wife found that staff around here might interpret the eligibility rules on their own.

Finding myself in that odd situation where a multi-region architecture would make sense for this specific sort of outage, but it’s… probably not worth the cost to build and maintain given the relative rarity of these events

It’s… they are capable of such great sweetness and then seconds later try to shove their sibling over a toy they haven’t thought about in several months. Deranged levels of spite.
