To be fair, this is not actually a graph of outages - it’s a graph of the number of users reporting outages. What’s more likely happening is that the service itself is working fine, but there is an outsized number of people having problems reaching the service, due to any number of unrelated factors (network congestion, individual device issues, temporary ISP outages or other internet hiccups)
This could happen to any service if the number of people trying to access it multiplies. If 1% of the time someone tries to access a service, there is an issue (even temporary), and the number of people trying to access that service goes from 1000 people (10 issues) to 10,000 people (100 issues) then it looks like there is a huge jump in problems accessing a service, when really the service is working just as well as it was before.
It’s like the old joke - what does one Mormon say to the other in the liquor store? Absolutely NOTHING.
Yeah, they are models for a stock photographer - https://www.istockphoto.com/photos/antonio-guillem
It’s pretty funny because all three of the models in the distracted boyfriend meme are used in a bunch of situations

The walking girl is the girlfriend’s dentist

The couple works together and the fallout is awkward

The dentist tries to apologize to the girlfriend, but girlfriend only pretends to forgive her
Etc.

I live in Montana which isn’t quite the Midwest, but close. I checked my previous store in coastal California to see if that was what was making the difference, and the pizza is the same price there - Kroger branded $1.25 (Ralph’s in CA, Smith’s in MT)
There are frozen pizzas near me (a relatively expensive food area, for America), that cost $1.25 (~17c an ounce) and have almost 500 calories. I’m not advocating for the frozen pizza diet at all but that level of price/calorie ratio is pretty impressive.

Like oh yeah cookies are healthy now because eggs have choline. So dumb.

I ground down the inner surface so it’s flat
I have heard you’re not really supposed to do that - the texture helps the seasoning stick properly instead of flaking off.

10·3 months agoLol what? Is this Marco Rubio’s publicist? Anyone who still believes Rubio is competent at this point hasn’t been paying attention at all.
Let’s dispel with this fiction that Marco Rubio knows what he’s doing. He doesn’t know shit about what he’s doing.
Yes, you’re correct but that’s why I said it was a “working” definition. When you’re a botanist (like many of my former professors) you still use the word vegetable in discussion. They would often teach us about local plants with indigenous uses using plain language like “the Chumash used the leaves of this plant as an important part of their vegetable intake”, rather than using some clinical term like “edible plant matter” or whatever.
I was only saying in these contexts, they definitely wouldn’t describe fruits as vegetables because fruit are a specific thing to a botanist. They definitely wouldn’t describe fungi as vegetables because they are also a specific thing to a botanist (not relevant 😂)
So in a scientific setting the word vegetable is still used, but it is mostly defined by what it’s not!
Great post, with one caveat
the closest thing to a definition we have for “vegetable” botanically is “literally all plant life and maybe also some fungi,”
I got my degree in Ecology and Evolution, and we always used a similar working definition but it was “edible parts of a plant which are not fruit.” So basically botanically, stems, roots, leaves, flowers, and all subvarieties of those are vegetables. Fruits are fruits. Fungi are fungi.

5·3 months agoHe is actually a pretty amazing host - better than Alex was in some ways. Extremely personable with the contestants, funny, offers context on some clues because he knows so much, and you can tell the contestants have genuine respect for him because he’s been there and succeeded better than anyone.
Sociopath is not a clinically defined term. Sociopath is basically a slang term for a person with anti-social personality disorder (ASPD). ASPD can be one part of a psychopathy diagnosis but they are not the same thing.
