Head of IT at a zangy boomy ADR studio in SoCal (my opinions here are my own). Mainly here for art, tech, cat memes, and some occasional cloud shouting. I speak rarely, repost often.

She still used it, covering my teeth marks with a muff of frosting & black sprinkles.



Said it was for a “batch-lor-ette” party. 5yr-old me just didn’t understand. Years later I'd look back on that day wondering why such a big deal about biting that big… …pink… ...phallic… Oh. OH DEAR GOD... [3/3]

…I took a bite out of one of the bulbs, but it was too hard for my baby teeth to get through, so I put it back as-is. 


Hours later, my mom checked on it and is horrified to see my teeth marks on it. She was both tremendously angry yet strangely amused. I’d never seen anyone act that way… [2/3]

Not a holiday, but still a gathering:



When I was 5 my mom making a cake for some kind of party. To top it she was making some sort of sausage-shaped thing with a bulb at the base & made of melted white chocolate dyed pink. As it was hardening in the fridge, 5-yr-old me wanted a piece... [1/3]

Such a traffic flood would cause your site to start timing out for some users, as you're seeing. Switching providers might not save you, if that's the case.

An old forum I was a member of (akin to 910cmx.com) has been hugely struggling to cope with sporadic AI indexer traffic lately, for example.

I've never had issues with your site (though I'm in SoCal and your site appears Arizona based, so it rightly should be quick for me.)

Does your site's service provider give traffic insights? Check them over. AI indexers have been causing DDoS-like havoc lately.

When I worked at Radioshack there was a monthly rotation of 2hr muzak DVDs we had to play on all TVs on infinite repeat with sound up.

This Scatman track was one of the enjoyable ones on it that didn't drive me nuts.

(On the disc It was followed by Groove Armada's "At the River", which did.)
