I'm dead tired and can't think of a way to say this without sounding arrogant, seriously my brain is fried right now, so I'll just say I take that as a compliment and thank you.

My guess, the CFO showed that using AWS saves the company a few cents to a fraction of a cent per what ever unit they measure by. Those few cents to a fraction of a cent add up when multiplied by the millions or hundreds of millions of units and that savings makes the CEO look like they are more profitable and can give shareholders more profit.

When everything is about the quarterly results and the need to always show growth so the board and shareholders don't fire you, you'll cut corners and take the risk, as long as it has the potential to make you look good.

Nuwave Precision Induction Cooktop Gold, 12”

[–] oppy1984 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

When our range died it took three weeks to get the new one with induction heating (could have gotten it sooner but agreeing to wait saved $1000, long story) so in the meantime I bought a plug in single pan induction unit and it had a timer on it. Best part is when the timer goes off the heat goes away and you only have to worry about residual heat from the pan.

The range doesn't have a timer so I still break out the plug in unit when I'm going to let something sit and cook while I do something else.

I work 3rd shift and have the house to myself when I get up on my days off. I'll grab a cup of tea (I can stand coffee) go get on my computer, turn on YouTube or something and every 3 to 4 hours get up and get a new cup of tea since the one I have I've only taken a few sips of and has gone cold (I still down it before making a new one). Then in the morning I'll feel sick and will be asked "what did you eat that could have caused that?" And that's when I remember I should have eaten once or twice since waking up.

As someone with a strong Irish heritage, this got my ire-a.

It was trading CD-R's during my high school days.... good times. Napster was just starting to take off by the time we had a CD-R trading network set up, Napster just increased the amount of CD's that got passed around.

I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that.

And then there's the issue of forgetting to make contact and loosing touch with your friends. Then you feel bad for not making the effort and then put off reaching out out of embarrassment.

Clearly New Mexico has been taken over by MS13 antifa invaders and God King trump must send in the national guard to save us from the leftist hell scape they plan to impose on our glorious christian nation.

/s, if it wasn't obvious.
