Yeah, doordash can gdiaf. Local burger joint only does delivery through doordash, but adds 20% on top of the base price to cover the fees doordash change them (fair enough), then doordash adds the delivery fee they charge me on top of that as well. They double dip on fees by changing both the restaurant and the customer, what should be a fairly affordable lunch when I don't have time to make something or go out and get it myself would end up being stupid expensive
Many years ago, the university I studied at did some construction work in the chemistry department, which included rerouting the supply lines from the big oxygen and LPG tanks so they could reach the new lab they were building.
Turns out the contractor was either an idiot or misread the plans, and ended up running the pipes straight through one of the fire-resistant walls designed to compartmentalize the building so fires can't spread as easily - a hole in one is a Big Deal on its own, but then running pipes full of accelerant through it essentially voided the buildings safety certificate and insurance, and ment that if there was a fire, the main evacuation path would have been a deathtrap.
I don't know what happened to the contractor, but labs were closed for a few weeks while they purged the lines of gas, removed the badly installed lines and repaired the wall
Sort of, there is a parallel derivation where tool can be an innuendo for penis ("used his tool"), so describing someone as a tool is a slightly less vulgar way of calling someone a dick; unrefined, rude, obnoxious.
In colloquial English, you can say that someone is an idiot with the construction "you absolute [noun]" or "you complete [noun]" or similar.
It doesn't actually matter what the noun is, but it works better the more obscure or specific the thing is. For example "you absolute saucepan", "you complete hose pipe", or my personal favourite "you absolute strawberry plant".
They didn't prosecute anyone because there was essentially no evidence beyond the accusation of one man, and even then no-one was accused of doing anything beyond talking about it
It's extremely 2020s brainworms that there are two different proprietary standards for device trackers, and licensing constraints forbid a device from supporting both.
An alternative suggestion - do what they did with UTC. It's an acronym of both "coordinated universal time" and "temps universel coordonné", which doesn't work in either English or French so everyone is equally unhappy
Bring your existing gear, remembering that we use 240v here. Getting used server bits is pretty difficult and expensive because we don't have anywhere near the density of data centers selling off old stuff. Enterprise switches in particular seem to be hard to get, I've previously had to buy on eBay and pay absurd shipping
Some systems have their own metrics endpoints - instead of getting Prometheus to scrape these directly I set up a Cron job to curl these into files for node exporter - this means I don't need extra config in Prometheus to find the endpoints, and don't need to mess with firewall rules
Other systems don't directly expose metrics in a format Prometheus can use - in this case I will write/find a script that can do the conversation, then either set it up to write the metrics file directly and run it on a Cron, or run it as a service and another Cron job to do the scrape
