I wail a lot about computers and the Newcastle Knights. I also now wail about the SF Giants. Sometimes I post about chicken and gaming. You may use software that I’ve written, sorry. Currently helping humans explore space.

It has been exactly eleven years today since my computer tried to kill me.
Eleven
It turns out that eleven is a very auspicious number.

My new favourite genre of England pundit is the one that keeps repeating ‘this is not a strong Australian team’ in ever-increasing frustration. #Ashes 🏏

The essence of Bazball is to always learn the wrong lesson
LOL, McCullum thinks that they over prepared for this match. Was bowling short outside off with no deep third man your actual preparation? #Ashes

Steve Smith takes the winning shot for 6 to make the final innings score 69. He understands the assignment.

“We’re broken and we’re being poached by ICE...
People are leaving in droves"

Corrections officers are jumping ship for more lucrative jobs at ICE, which offers $50,000 starting bonuses, tuition reimbursement & better pay than the prison system

As Federal Prisons Run Low on Food and Toilet Paper, Corrections Officers Leave in Droves for ICE

Any industry where people will be emotionally invested in the work is liable to be exploitative in ways that don't really work for generic private sector companies that nobody cares about it. This also applies to prestigious companies that will look really good on your CV.
