who else was woken up in the middle of the night for on-call pages because of cloudflare?

I think I knew this deep down, but I am curious if there's "extinct (with the usual disclaimers)" and "extinct (it ain't comin back)". i.e. the Christmas Island Shrew vs. the Dodo

I often think back to a scene in BoJack Horseman, when he starts jogging and collapses at the top of a hill. A veteran runner sees him and says:

"It gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier. But you gotta do it every day — that’s the hard part. But it does get easier".

The gym, self-care, flossing.The list goes on, but that scene really clicked for me.

Part of this tweet[1] stood out to me. I wish I was more optimistic about Buttigieg handling this appropriately, but I'm not aware of any significant action on his part over the Norfolk Southern freight explosion a year ago.

"He has been saddled with a messy, stupid lawsuit built on bad decision after bad decision, from predecessors who--between a rock and a hard place in the impossible task of avoiding disparate impact while preserving objective standards--elected to take the easy road and cave to political pressure to implement absurdities. He has extraordinary power to end this mess in a moment and begin to make things right for those who were directly denied a chance at the jobs they had worked towards thanks to an arbitrary and perverse biographical questionnaire."

2) Woodworking

After finally diving in earlier this year, really took to it as a nice break from screens. Taking this winter break to organize my garage and set up proper dust collection so I can stop creating layers of sawdust in my garage (and probably my lungs).
