@tpschmidt_ Putting Cloudflare in front of AWS isn't that cheap or easy unless you're prepared to shift your entire domain to Cloudflare's DNS hosting. Need just a subdomain? Ouch ($$). Need apex zone? ($$$$$) Great option for those who can though

@KIRO7Seattle "According to British Petroleum (BP)..."

British Petroleum p.l.c is long gone. Been simply "BP" for nearly three decades now

@Columbia_Bank Why do you think Indigenous Peoples' day is October 14th? Why do you spell it wrong? (It's plural, possessive, with an apostrophe.) Why do you say I can call with questions if you're closed?

Liked Umpqua a lot better, ngl

I am hearing this from a lot of people… GCP down but status page shows no issues (still!)

Granted status pages are manually updated: but because it’s Google, it’s odd that DownDetector is a more reliable source of truth than GCP’s status page

@jrosenfeld13 @zachk @googlecloud i want the record to reflect that I tried to check bluesky first

Julia Butterfly Hill. Environmental activist who from December 10, 1997 to December 18, 1999 lived continuously in a 1,000 year old California redwood tree to prevent it from being cut down.

@natfriedman Once consumers and brands care, couldn't this be treated like prevention of antibiotics in milk? The upstream batch WILL be tested, and happily dumped at the suppliers expense upon failure. Seems doable.

@SlayTruthDaily If you want to take a ballot, mark it, and hand it to a person you can, even in a vote by mail state.

GOP fought motor voter, they fight mail in voting - it's all disenfranchisement. WA is never going back on vote by mail

[Nick Hatch @hatchetation]

Washington allows you to vote in-person if you want to. False dichotomy from the GOP in the form of a push-poll? You don't say

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

@WAGOP @WaHouseGOP @WaSenateGOP Question for Washington State voters:

Are you in favor or reinstating in-person voting,

as opposed to every Washington voter receiving a mail-in ballot (whether or not the voter requested a ballot)?

[Nick Hatch @hatchetation]

@SlayTruthDaily Just because we don't have traditional polling places doesn't mean you can't vote in-person. Washington offers voting centers for assistance with voting, dropping off a ballot, voting with a replacement ballot, or same day registration.

@Teyrovsky That one is easy to solve though - nobody should take pho to go

@Keck553 @ScottPresler @WAGOP @WaHouseGOP @WaSenateGOP Bye. Update your twitter bio

@TacomaSteveG @ScottPresler @WAGOP @WaHouseGOP @WaSenateGOP Flooding the state from where?

[Nick Hatch @hatchetation]

@jordangutt That didn't really answer your question though... your original question was analogous to "why do food banks give out ingredients instead of meals to the needy" and grok is basically answering the question "why is food good".

@donutsarenonuts @that_guy_karen @agrimgupta92 @EMostaque What is that upper green line meant to represent? Light ray? It just looks like you drew an arbitrary line on the cutting board. Where do you think the light source in this scene is located?

[Nick Hatch @hatchetation]

@donutsarenonuts @that_guy_karen @agrimgupta92 @EMostaque Ok, one more... notice how the brightest highlights in the scene are on skin, bright enough to lose detail, and on the edge of overexposure. how does a moving polished knife directly under an imaginary studio light not flash and blow out, not even once?

[Nick Hatch @hatchetation]

@donutsarenonuts @that_guy_karen @agrimgupta92 @EMostaque also notice the difference in darkness in the shadow - on skin, there is tons of detail in the shadow. Yet the shadow on the cutting board is nearly featureless. There's no reason for there to be such a dramatic difference in spill

[Nick Hatch @hatchetation]

@that_guy_karen @agrimgupta92 @EMostaque Inconsistent lighting, like so many other AI creations. shadow placement and highlights don't make sense given the direction of the lighting. watch the shadows and light on the left hand as obstructed by the knife and right hand. harsh directional lighting, unrealistic shading

@ElminsterD @TracyMulderig @samdknowlton Big GHG impacts from shipping it too. Seattle just lost its one big consumer of glass cull, dunno how that's gonna end up now
