					The way 90% of the population wears their face masks really explains a lot about their approach to using software, apps & websites as well.
 
 I feel like giving up.
 
 I am not a developer for the salary, or just to solve analytical puzzles. Those are motivators, but my main drive is to make the world more comfortable and enjoyable, better optimized, build ethical services which bring happiness into people's lives. I want to improve society, even if it's just a tiny bit.
 
 But if users invest absolutely zero percent of their limited brain capacity into understanding a product that already has a super-clean design and responds with helpful validation messages...
 
 ...why the fuck bother.
 
 I used to think of the gap between technology and tech-incompetent people as an optimization problem.
 
 As something which could be fixed by spending a fortune on UX research. Write tests, hire QA employees, decrease tech debt, create a bold but unified & simple design.
 
 But the technologically incompetent just get more entitled with every small thing you simplify.
 
 It's never fucking fool-proof enough.
 
 Why can't I upload a 220MB PDF as profile picture? Why doesn't the app install on my 9 year old Android Froyo phone? Why can't I sign up if my phone number contains a  U+FFFC? Why does this page load so slowly from my rural concrete bunker in East Ukraine? WHY DO I HAVE PNEUMONIA, HOW DID I GET INFECTED EVEN THOUGH I WAS WEARING A MOUTH MASK ON MY FOREHEAD?
 
 This is why I ran away from Frontend, to Backend, to DBA.
 
 If I could remove myself further from the end user, I would.
 
 At least I still have a full glass of tawny port and a huge database which needs to be normalized & migrated.
 
 Fuck humans, I'm going to hug a server. 21 21

					--- GitHub 24-hour outage post mortem ---
 
 As many of you will remember; Github fell over earlier this month and cracked its head on the counter top on the way down. For more or less a full 24 hours the repo-wrangling behemoth had inconsistent data being presented to users, slow response times and failing requests during common user actions such as reporting issues and questioning your career choice in code reviews.
 
 It's been revealed in a post-mortem of the incident (link at the end of the article) that DB replication was the root cause of the chaos after a failing 100G network link was being replaced during routine maintenance. I don't pretend to be a rockstar-ninja-wizard DBA but after speaking with colleagues who went a shade whiter when the term "replication" was used - It's hard to predict where a design decision will bite back and leave you untanging the web of lies and misinformation reported by the databases for weeks if not months after everything's gone a tad sideways.
 
 When the link was yanked out of the east coast DC undergoing maintenance - Github's "Orchestrator" software did exactly what it was meant to do; It hit the "ohshi" button and failed over to another DC that wasn't reporting any issues. The hitch in the master plan was that when connectivity came back up at the east coast DC, Orchestrator was unable to (un)fail-over back to the east coast DC due to each cluster containing data the other didn't have.
 
 At this point it's reasonable to assume that pants were turning funny colours - Monitoring systems across the board started squealing, firing off messages to engineers demanding they rouse from the land of nod and snap back to reality, that was a bit more "on-fire" than usual. A quick call to Orchestrator's API returned a result set that only contained database servers from the west coast - none of the east coast servers had responded.
 
 Come 11pm UTC (about 10 minutes after the initial pant re-colouring) engineers realised they were well and truly backed into a corner, the site was flipped into "Yellow" status and internal mechanisms for deployments were locked out. 5 minutes later an Incident Co-ordinator was dragged from their lair by the status change and almost immediately flipped the site into "Red" status, a move i can only hope was accompanied by all the lights going red and klaxons sounding.
 
 Even more engineers were roused from their slumber to help with the recovery effort, By this point hair was turning grey in real time - The fail-over DB cluster had been processing user data for nearly 40 minutes, every second that passed made the inevitable untangling process exponentially more difficult. Not long after this Github made the call to pause webhooks and Github Pages builds in an attempt to prevent further data loss, causing disruption to those of us using Github as a way of kicking off our deployment processes (myself included, I had to SSH in and run a git pull myself like some kind of savage).
 
 Glossing over several more "And then things were still broken" sections of the post mortem; Clever engineers with their heads screwed on the right way successfully executed what i can only imagine was a large, complex and risky plan to untangle the mess and restore functionality. Github was picked up off the kitchen floor and promptly placed in a comfy chair with a sweet tea to recover. The enormous backlog of webhooks and Pages builds was caught up with and everything was more or less back to normal.
 
 It goes to show that even the best laid plan rarely survives first contact with the enemy, In this case a failing 100G network link somewhere inside an east coast data center.

					I joined a "multi-national" company in middle-east where 90% of the developers are Indian. And since it's a "multi-national" company with 50+ developers I thought they already figured it out. Most of them have 5-10 years of experience. They should know at least how to use git properly, deployment should be done via CI/CD. database changes should be run via migration script. Agile methodology, Code Review - Pull Request. Unit testing. Design Patterns, Clean Code Principle. etc etc
 
 I thought I'm gonna learn new things here. I have never been so wrong in all my life...
 
 Technical Manager doesn't even know what Pull Request is. They started developing the software 4 years ago but used Yii v1 instead which was released almost a decade ago. They combined it with a VueJS where in some files contains around 4000 lines of code. Some PHP functions contain 500+ of code. No proper indentions as well. The web console is bloody red with javascript errors. In short, it's the worst code I've seen so far.
 
 No wonder why they keep receiving complaints from their 30+ clients.10

					Met a Project Manager (at a friend's party) who had transitioned to a PM role from a developer role (most probably he wrote shitty code)
 
 Smartass PM to me (after I told I code for living) : I really pity poor programmers and I feel sorry for them, the work they do, the effort they put in l, it's just now worth it
 
 Me : yes you are right if we don't code PM are just not worth it, I understand it's a skill to talk about deadlines and features and what not, but the Pre-requisite is that some one would code it first. Also coding is not that anyone can do, I do it because I enjoy it, I m just not meant for superficial talks and I love building things, that's y I do it..
 
 Smartass PM : (dumbstuck)
 
 After half an hr of bullshit conversation...smartass PM has realized it by now that in Silicon Valley (where we live) it's much cooler to be a developer than being a PM (he has recently moved from east coast)...
 
 PM to me : I just live on stack-overflow
 Me thinking : Really !!
 
 People should not compare their career paths, every one has their interest and personality

					Shit just got legal
 
 There's the lead dev, I'll call him John. John is not from the US, Europe, or any of those developed countries. The rest of management are from developed countries.
 
 John found himself in the US for personal reasons, on a non-work visa, and his visa will expire soon. In the meantime, management found an opportunity to raise capital in the US, and they want John to be there because it'll look better in the presentation.
 
 John: Oh but that's a month after my visa expires. You'll have to provide me a work visa.
 
 Management was uncomfortable, because we're not registered in the US. and coz they don't wanna spend money.
 
 The French: Don't worry, the US allows you to come in for 3 months without a visa.
 
 The other management seemed to agree with the French. John had to explain that, no, only very few privileged countries have that right, and for the rest the US border is very, very hard to cross, and the visa process takes months. Most US embassies abroad have a year-long waitlist, though you can pay a (hefty) extra fee for it to be expedited. Fucking management was seriously surprised by this.
 
 The Canadian: Don't worry, I own have an apartment in the East Coast. I could give you the keys and you could stay there for this month until the presentation.
 
 So management wants John to stay in the US illegally for a month because they don't wanna pay for a work visa and the expedition fee.16

					This is something that happened 2 years ago.
 
 1st year at uni, comp sci.
 
 Already got project to make some app for the univ that runs in android, along with the server
 
 I thought, omg, this is awesome! First year and already got something to offer for the university 😅
 (it's a new university, at the time I was the 2nd batch)
 
 Team of 12, we know our stuffs, from the programming POV, at least, but we know nothing about dealing with client.
 
 We got a decent pay, we got our computers upgraded for free, and we even got phones of different screen sizes to test out our apps on.
 
 No user requirement, just 2-3 meetings. We were very naive back then.
 
 2 weeks into development, Project manager issues requirement changes
 
 we have a meeting again, discussing the important detail regarding the business model. Apparently even the univ side hadn't figure it out.
 
 1 month in the development, the project manager left to middle east to pursue doctoral degree
 
 we were left with "just do what you want, as long as it works"
 
 Our projects are due to be done in 3 months. We had issues with the payment, we don't get paid until after everything's done. Yet the worse thing is, we complied.
 
 Month 3, turns out we need to present our app to some other guy in the management who apparently owns all the money. He's pleased, but yet, issued some more changes. We didn't even know that we needed to make dashboard at that time.
 
 The project was extended by one month. We did all the things required, but only got the payment for 3 months.
 
 Couldn't really ask for the payment of the fourth month since apparently now the univ is having some 'financial issues'.
 
 And above all: Our program weren't even tested, let alone being used, since they haven't even 'upgraded' the university such that people would need to use our program as previously planned.
 
 Well, there's nothing to be done right now, but at least I've learned some REALLY valuable lesson:
 
 1. User Requirement is a MUST! Have them sign it afterwards, and never do any work until then. This way, change of requirements could be rejected, or at least postponed
 
 2. Code convention is a MUST! We have our code, in the end, written in English and Indonesian, which causes confusion. Furthermore, some settle to underscore when naming things, while other chooses camel case.
 
 3. Don't give everyone write access to repository. Have them pull their own, and make PR later on. At least this way, they are forced to fix their changes when it doesn't meet the code convention.
 
 4. Yell at EVERYONE who use cryptic git commit message. Some of my team uses JUST EMOTICONS for the commit message. At this point, even "fixes stuffs" sound better.
 
 Well, that's for my rant. Thanks for reading through it. I wish some of you could actually benefit from it, especially if you're about to take on your first project.3

					I'm a DevOps engineer. It's my job to understand why this type of shit is broken, and when I finally figure it out, I get so mad at bullish players like AWS.
 
 It's simple. Install Python3 from apt.
 
 `apt-get update && apt-get install -y python3-dev`
 
 I've done this thousands of times, and it just works.
 
 Docker? Yup.
 AWS AMI? Yup.
 Automation? Nope.
 
 WTF? Let's waste 2.5 hours and figure out why this morning.
 
 In docker: `apt-cache policy python3-dev` shows us:
 python3-dev:
 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages
 
 But in AWS instance, we see we're reading from "http://us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/... focal/main" instead!
 
 Ah, but why does it fail? AWS is just using a mirror, right? Not quite.
 
 When the automation script is running, it's beating AWS to the apt mirror update! My instance, running on AWS is trying to access the same archive.ubuntu.com that the Docker container tried to use. "python3-dev" was not a candidate for installation! WTF Amazon? Shouldn't that just work, even if I'm not using your mirror?
 
 So I try again, and again, and again. It works, on average, 1 out of every 5 times. I'm assuming this means we're seeing some strange shit configuration between EC2 racks where some are configured to redirect archive.ubuntu.com to the ec2 mirror, and others are configured to block. I haven't dug this far into the issue yet, because by the time I can SSH into the machine after automation, the apt list has already received it's blessed update from EC2.
 
 Now I have to build a graceful delay into my automation while I wait for AWS to mangle, I mean "fix up" my apt sources list to their whim.
 
 After completely blowing my allotted time on this task, I just shipped a "sleep" statement in my code. I feel so dirty. I'm going to go brew some more coffee to be okay with my life. Then figure out a proper wait statement.7

					Storytime!
 
 I got a ticket near the end of the day, asking to install a printer on a computer. The branch in question was in a different time zone (I'm in US-Pacific [GMT-07] and the computer was in US-Eastern [GMT-04]). I figured I wouldn't worry about it; after all, I had other tickets to work on that were much higher priority.
 
 The next day I come into work and immediately get a message from one of my East Coast coworkers, telling me that this branch is calling and asking how the printer is coming. I told him to tell them I would call them a bit later. I do a couple of easy jobs and then begrudgingly call the branch. I listen to the phone tree that they have (which requires two button presses instead of one in order to speak with someone) and finally get in contact with a person... only to have the call disconnect.
 
 I call back and ask for the person who called in the ticket and then followed up, who had apparently gone to lunch. I informed the person that I was just going to install the printer and it would be good to go. This would be fine... up until she mentioned she needed scanning functionality.
 
 Now I wasn't sure if the driver we have in AD is set up with the scan functionality, so I said okay, but that meant I would have to get the driver from the website. The connection to our branches are about 1Mbps, so even downloading Java updates (60-ish MB) take about 5-10 minutes on a good day. The file for this printer was about 700MB (thanks HP). So I went and did other stuff while that downloaded.
 
 I come back after it finished and started the install process. Right away it asks to re-seat the USB cable. So I call the branch. The call disconnects. I call again. It disconnects. I call one more time, and finally get the person who called the ticket in. I instruct him to re-seat the cable. He does. The driver starts doing its thing. I tell him I'll call back if I run into any issues and we hang up.
 
 The driver goes through the install process for about 20 minutes, stops at 99%, then fails. I want to restart the computer, just in case there's a conflict somewhere, but that would require calling the store again, so I put it off.
 
 About an hour later I get a message from another East Coast coworker, telling me the branch is calling about the printer again. I was in the middle of another call and said I would call back later. I do. It disconnects. I call again, and get the person who called the ticket in again. I tell him I want to restart the computer, but wasn't sure if it was okay. He checks with the people using it, who says it's okay, so I reboot. I hang up.
 
 Once the computer comes back up I start the install process again. It asks to re-seat the cable. Fuck. I don't want to call the store again, so I open notepad and say "Please take out the printer's USB connection from the back of the computer."
 
 Three. Fucking. People. Saw it. They moved the window and one even tried to close it, but they didn't re-seat the cable. I opened another window, telling them to call me at my number. They didn't. I called them. Got disconnected. I called them again, finally got someone, told them to re-seat the printer cable again. They do, thank god.
 
 I say thank you and hang up. Continue the installer. It stops at 99% again and fails. I reboot the computer; screw it, I'm just going to install the driver from Active Directory. Check Devices and Printers. It's installed successfully. Hallelujah!
 
 I get the printer set up for the various programs they use and print a test page. I call them one last time; their phone system sounding like they were connected via an underwater line connected by tin cans. I get someone.
 
 $me: Hi, I want to know if the printer has printed something.
 
 $them (garbled): -et me shee... yesh, it -rint-d a *beezelborp*.
 
 $me: Perfect, I'm going to close this ticket! Thanks, goodbye! *hangs up*
 
 tl;dr - I hate printers

					Having some thoughts as I sit here, trapped in the house by equal parts coronavirus and a layer of smoke drowning out the sun. The smoke is a bit of an annual thing; every year, some irresponsible jerk will go out and put their convenience and enjoyment over everyone else's quality of life.
 
 It's a bit different this year since coronavirus has given people cabin fever. Those same people who lose their minds after weeks of isolation and suffering the indignity of wearing a mask headed out into the wilderness for recreation in record numbers.
 
 The result is record wildfires.
 
 Where I'm at, it's mostly coming from the eastern part of our state. The area is typified by being on the mountain range's dry side, more rural, less densely populated. Towns have burned, people lost their homes, millions of acres of land will likely burn before it's over. It happens every year; people pack up, head out into the wilderness, and cause devastation due to a simple lack of common sense or regard for the consequences of their actions.
 
 On the west side, we see the fallout in the form of days without sunlight and abysmal air quality. We also see it in cost; we will unquestionably and without hesitation contribute to eastern recovery efforts. The western half of the state will cover almost all of the damage in both taxes and recovery aid. Our local ethos demands it.
 
 The mountains form a kind of natural barrier, both cultural and environmental. The fact that few people cross the mountains by choice is symbolic of that divide. Those who enjoy greenery and lakes and thriving vibrant nature prefer the west, as we have them in abundance. People who have a strong appreciation for distance between themselves and other humans prefer the east, as it affords them cheaper land and few urban environments.
 
 Here's to hoping people learn from this in 2021.16

					Not exactly a co-worker, but one of the devs from the client's team spent a few months working in our office next to us. He would always take a nap at lunch time and snore loudly, and eat an apple afterwards and it seemed to be impossible for him to chew with his mouth closed.
 
 Whenever he had a cold and his nose got blocked he would still force himself to breathe through his nose, so it sounded something like a mix of darth vader and someone drowning.
 
 He also lacked any notion of personal space, and would always sneak behind us to ask questions and then put his laptop right on top of our keyboards or in front of our screens and start talking while we still had headphones on.

					!rant, TL;DR at the bottom
 
 Holy fuck, Yesterday, I got absolutely schooled by a literal newbie.
 And I mean, NEWBIE newbie, the dude just started a Computer Science degree, and has been learning Java only for a MONTH. He has 0 prior experience with code or anything of the like, and he's somewhat of an Ars(Israel's version of a Gopnik).
 So I was helping him with some stuff he didn't understand, and lo and behold his code was probably the most aesthetically pleasing and organized code I have seen in my 8 years of programming(I know 8 is not much, but It's at least above beginner level). The dude's a perfectionist, so I was like, "Okay, very impressive, but makes sense for perfectionism"(I straight up told him: "Damn, I've seen people with years of programming experience who can't learn to write this well, and you do this by default? I envy whoever's going to work with you"), and then I saw the way he writes checks(as in, methods that return a boolean) and I think I came.
 The code was:
 [First method in the picture]
 
 And I know, it doesn't look as ✨ WOW✨ as I make it sound, but in my personal opinion this both looks much better and is much more readable than what I normally write:
 [Second method in the picture]
 
 and whenever there are longer or more complicated checks it makes it look like a simple puzzle that just fits in all the pieces nicely, for example in a rectangle class we had to write an 'isIn' method, this is how I wrote it:
 [Third method in the picture]
 
 His way of writing the same thing was:
 [Fourth method in the picture]
 
 Which I think is soooooo much better and readable and organized,
 It's enough just looking at the short return statement to immediately understand everything that's going on.
 "Oh, so it just checks if the SW(South West, i.e. Bottom Left) corner is above and to the right, and if the NE(North East, i.e. Top Right) corner is bellow and to the left"
 
 Point of the story? Some people are just fucking awesome. And sometimes the youngest/most inexperienced people can teach you new tricks.
 And to all of you dinosaurs here with like, 20+ years of experience, y'all can still learn even from us stupid ones. If 8 years can get schooled by a 1 month, 20 years can get schooled by a 1 year.
 Listen to everyone everybody, never know where you might learn something new.
 
 TL;DR: Got schooled by a local "Gopnik" who only started learning programming a month ago with 0 prior experience with his insane level of organization and readability. 29 29

 So, I was diagnosed with congenital nystagmus at an early fucking age. This is complicated for people who've never heard of it before to comprehend, until they notice the eyes of the person in question. Think of it this way: I lack the biological form of optical image stabilization. Because of nystagmus, I can't fucking drive.
 
 Now, let me tell you, it really fucking sucks. I've never had a girlfriend, never been able to get a job, basically never been able to do the type of shit most of you can already fucking do. Pile that on with college, where I don't really fucking know anybody, and it's really fucking easy to see why I've had depression and nearly fucked my GPA over last semester (2.08, yeah it's embarrassing but fuck it).
 
 That out of the way, nystagmus is rare. So rare that any surgeries to fix it aren't guaranteed to fix the problem, and are only marginally better. I have strong skepticism for any optometrist who acts like they perform this surgery every day, because the numbers simply don't back them up. If there's so few who have this issue, then the amount of operations and opportunities to do them are fucking slim.
 
 Today, my mom came over to Indiana from Ohio, and took me to the local Cheddar's (do other countries have those??). We sit down, and she wanted to re-hash this surgery idea. I have made the statement before that these are the only two eyes that I will ever have, and there's no guaranteed ROI on any procedures, and is probably going to fuck me over if shit hits the fan.
 
 Then she tells me there's this doctor in Maryland. I might be geographically challenged (lol), but I'm pretty sure that's over on the east coast. It's forever from here, we'd probably have to take an airliner.
 
 This doctor made some pretty bold fucking claims. Not only was it possible he could fix the nystagmus, but he could help me use a special form of glasses that would enable me to learn to drive. Knowing that R&D on nystagmus was sketchy because of the aforementioned conditions, I had to tell her that I still don't know how I feel about it. Also, if this doctor moves from Maryland to any of the other states, would he still be allowed to do these things?
 
 I told her I don't know how I feel about it. I'm not sure it's worth the money if we follow through and come to find out it's not enough, and I still can't drive. She acts like this stuff is dead simple. I don't think it is. You have perceived benefits, but there have to be caveats. This would be a major change, and I don't know how I feel about following through with it.9

					@ everyone who keeps pushing Vue via node
 
 Vue via npm:
 - shit
 - bundling so you can save 15% on car insurance
 - webpack/etc to condense your 50TB node_modules folder
 - have to deploy, if you're in the US then it'll probably be in the middle East or maybe North Korea if that falls out
 
 Vue via script tag:
 - works awesome
 - pretty feckin fast
 - can be deployed purely static
 - easy debugging from dev console
 - easy templating for frontend
 - can use existing html/css
 - easy to work in teams with people without having everyone install npm
 - if you have a designer they will love you for making it easy to style things
 - you can cache it and make it offline without any of the new bullshit vuex
 - you can use vanilla libraries without a mixin, polyfill, bundler, or etc anus

 So the game I've been working since January is showing off a demo at ECGC also known as the East Coast Game Conference in North Carolina :D
 
 http://ecgconf.com/
 
 If anyone is free on the 17th to 19th of April and enjoys games come try it out!
 (it's $35 for a pass at least for the standard pass at least)
 The game is called Redemption's Guild, which is a multiplayer online VR RPG and our company is called Unlit Games.
 Our website: https://unlitgames.com/redemptionsg...
 Sadly I won't be there but some people from the company will :D
 
 I've been working hard to make this game, I hope the people that play it enjoy it as much as I loved (and still love) working on it.
 
 Also our animator is giving a talk, so if you enjoy animation and possibly how it was done (i'm not 100% what the talk is about lol) stay for that aswell!2

					Guys, this is not a rant. But I need a career advice. I don’t have a BD in CS, but I studied by myself and took some other classes and was working in the field for more than an year now after graduating from university. I do full stack developing with javascript and sometimes java at a startup now.
 
 My goal was to eventually get to grad school in CS. I found some programs what accept students from non CS back grounds too. I can’t do BD again it will take too long. And I’m old ! lol
 
 If any of you had similar experiences, or know some good programs would you let me know? Should I prepare portfolio or should I accomplish something great in order to get accepted? Or should I just try applying first? I’m focusing more on east coast to choose schools from but open to anything for now.
 
 It’s quite scary to really start working on this since I already have a job and there are so much information regarding grad school, I get overwhelmed. Though it’s something i need to overcome. It would be really helpful for me if you could share your two cents.
 
 I love what I do now, and really hope that I get to study further and explore in depth. Also I’m interested in AI or machine learning. Also if you know good source for reading recently published papers on CS let me know!
 
 Thanks for reading! :)10

 This is a section from an unfinished novel about 2050s America, set in a corporate subsidized mega-fevela sprawling across washington state, ruled by gangs and patrolled by the officers of a bankrupt nation suffering through austerity and on-and-off again spasms of mass civil conflict.
 
 "Averice - Sex, drugs, and vice, in the downfall and dying days of america."
 
 we lived in a smoke government, where everything was bullshit they blew up your ass so you could continue make believe while
 you were bent over with your head in the hole in the ground you mistook for your ass to start with. And if you questioned it all, one bit, the mouth organ of the state would command
 hate upon you, like an old latin curse, with a lexicon armada of phrases like "terrorist", and "troubled individual" to character assassinate you by drowning you in the humbling river of societies mass delusion giver, those two sweet letters "TV."
 
 No, we were on the industry edge here, inventing better bait to catch what the state politiburo labelled 'bandits', all for what?
 
 It had, in later years become fashionable to call those who didn't want to be stolen from any more, projected as it were, "thieves", in the same fashion as those in the middle east, defending
 their homeland from foreigners, were labelled "insurgents." Tyranny had not so long ago grown a sense of irony it would seem.
 
 And if you became enemy number one of the state, as thousands were, you would spend your days on the run, always looking over your
 shoulder for the states vanish vans--black escalades with men in dark suits and mirrored glasses, like bugmen with shiny inhuman, and inscrutable eyes full of alien malice.
 
 These were sordid summers, full of plastic playhouses where the cost of a days wages you could lay with a synthetic lover and pay away the days tense tax for a good lay, and forget your toils and troubles. And so many were kept in poverty because of easy habit and routine that they forget they were not living.
 
 But for me, I had none of it. I preferred the troubled thing on the corner when I could coax one into my state issued sedan. She was sulky, with bright blonde curls, 19, maybe 20, with empty eyes, as if watching some invisible horizon. And in the glow of the blue neon, among the wet sidewalks, and trash, she leaned into my car. No words were exchanged. I nodded, and
 she got into the car, a miniskirt, and slinky little handbag.
 
 This was no more than state business with a bureau guy like me, and for her, little more than the prison trade taken public.
 
 She huffed some powder and climbed spraddle leg onto my lap, grabbing me along my jawline, eyes locked onto the depths of my soul, and
 for the next ten minutes as she moved on top of me, I was motionless property while my lusts became animal, and she, my cream cup.
 
 After, I arrested her to the standard protests, but she new the game and quickly hushed. This was the verdant arithmetic of the state. I was awarded x amount of pension points for every criminal, no matter how, and it was no gentle hand, not the judge, not the jury, or the executioner of their will. It was the rigid touch of a long arm, dislocated from the law, and now, like frankenstein's monster, cobbled onto the mechanism of the state not unlike the manner of a combine harvester.
 
 We were the owners of all by virtue of all we could take, and we took all we could get. The serial romeos of state police power, romancing
 the unwilling citizenry with televised patriotism and five minute power talks at the beginning of the corporate day.
 
 It could be paradise or a wasteland if we wanted it to be. And for a time it was.
 
 Edit: devrant always breaks my formatting. sigh.

 I just woke up from a fun adrenaline packed film dream.
 It started like an movie, leaning a bit into the funny side, but also a bit serious.
 
 We were 3 guys going top speed on the highway, dodging traffic, trying to prevent a bomb from detonating on the other side of the city.
 
 We were all famous actors, but the only one I remember was Jackie Chan. I remember thinking why would they cast Jackie Chan and give him so few lines.
 
 I wished I remember more about this part. The only thing I remember is that when we get to the end of the island, we’re in the wrong place: we’re at a huge OBGYN center.
 
 My sidekicks are bothering the desk women, eating all of the “waiting candy”. I feel bad and offer to pay those, which they pretend to not care about but then end up charging me down to the penny. Cunts.
 
 The sidekicks leave and (without explanation because dreams) disappear of the story.
 
 Defeated, I go outside and start walking.
 And I don’t remember exactly what the fuck happened in between, but somehow I’m now in the house of a cartel druglord and he’s pissed and I need to run now.
 
 So I do. I remembered that there was a very thick forest east to the house. So I go there.
 
 And what follows is a very intense montage of me escaping.
 
 At some point that forest ended, so I continue through some high weed, and then another forest, and so on. While I had to pass through parts with no vegetation, I had to avoid these as much as possible.
 
 I saw dozens of types of trees and shrubs.
 
 Then I started seeing families, kids, playing, relaxing on what seemed a Sunday afternoon.
 
 The adventure was so fun, the landscape was so beautiful I felt happy and thought “this is how it feels to be alive”. And I actually felt happy in real life as well.
 
 At some point the vegetation I encounter decreased, and I have to go through more urbanized areas, with more people.
 
 “Uh oh” I think, “I hope no one snitches me”. But miraculously, no one does.
 
 Throughout all the journey I had glimpses of the drug lord nearby presence.
 
 His face on the distance, the sound of his car engine.
 
 But now he was closer than ever. And I’m closer to this house which is the escape point (can’t really remember why).
 
 So I reach for the handle and fade to white, and fade back again, it’s me, older, and I’m not in an escaping mood.
 
 My wife is waiting, our car is outside (on the non drug lord side).
 
 And guess what, we were waiting for our daughter, who comes with a smile and a child on her hands.
 
 So apparently, my daughter married someone from the drug lord villa that almost murders me.
 
 Reading this sounds like a bad script, but that’s what I dreamed today.1

					Meiplus Dentalcare: Effective Relief for Toothaches in Marine Parade
 
 Toothaches can be one of the most uncomfortable and painful experiences you can have. Whether it's a sharp, constant pain or an occasional throb, toothaches are often a sign that something isn't right with your oral health. If you’re experiencing tooth pain and need relief, Meiplus Dentalcare in Marine Parade is here to help. Located at 141 East Coast Road, Singapore 428831, our dental team is ready to provide effective treatments for toothaches and other dental concerns.
 
 What Causes Toothaches?
 Toothaches can occur for various reasons, ranging from minor to more severe underlying issues. Understanding the cause of your toothache is the first step in finding the appropriate treatment. Some common causes of toothaches include:
 
 Cavities: The most common cause of toothaches is a cavity or dental decay. When bacteria in your mouth break down food particles, they produce acid that erodes your tooth enamel, leading to cavities that can cause pain.
 
 Gum Disease: Gum infection or inflammation, also known as gingivitis or periodontitis, can result in toothaches, as the gums begin to pull away from the teeth, leading to sensitivity and pain.
 
 Tooth Abscess: A severe tooth infection can lead to an abscess, a pocket of pus that causes intense, localized pain. Abscesses require immediate treatment to prevent the infection from spreading.
 
 Tooth Sensitivity: Some people experience tooth pain due to sensitivity, often triggered by hot or cold food and drinks. This sensitivity can be caused by worn enamel or receding gums.
 
 Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Habitual grinding of teeth, especially at night, can cause toothaches as it puts excess pressure on the teeth, leading to discomfort.
 
 Trauma or Injury: A fall or injury to the mouth can result in tooth pain, either from a cracked tooth, loose tooth, or other dental injuries.
 
 How We Treat Toothaches at Meiplus Dentalcare
 At Meiplus Dentalcare, we prioritize your comfort and well-being. If you’re experiencing a toothache, our team of experienced dentists will conduct a thorough examination to determine the cause of your pain and recommend the best treatment options for relief. Here are some of the ways we treat toothaches:
 
 Dental Fillings: If your toothache is caused by a cavity, we may recommend a dental filling. We’ll remove the decayed portion of the tooth and fill it with a material that restores its shape and function.
 
 Root Canal Therapy: If the pain is due to an infection in the pulp of the tooth, a root canal may be necessary to remove the infection and save the tooth. Our skilled dentists use advanced techniques to ensure this procedure is as comfortable and effective as possible.
 
 Gum Treatment: If your toothache is caused by gum disease, we can provide professional cleaning and gum treatments to reduce inflammation and improve your gum health.
 
 Tooth Extraction: In cases where the tooth is severely damaged or infected and cannot be saved, we may recommend a tooth extraction. Our team will ensure that the procedure is done safely and with minimal discomfort.
 
 Mouthguards for Teeth Grinding: If your toothache is caused by teeth grinding, we can create a custom mouthguard to protect your teeth and prevent further damage.
 
 Medication for Pain Relief: We may recommend over-the-counter pain relievers or prescribe medication to help manage your toothache pain while we work on resolving the underlying issue.
 
 Why Choose Meiplus Dentalcare for Toothaches?
 At Meiplus Dentalcare, we provide compassionate, high-quality care for all our patients. Whether your toothache is mild or severe, we understand that you want immediate relief and effective treatment. Our clinic offers:
 
 Experienced and Caring Dentists: Our team of professionals has years of experience treating toothaches and a variety of dental issues. We take the time to listen to your concerns and provide personalized care.
 
 Comprehensive Treatments: We offer a wide range of treatments to address the root causes of your tooth pain, from fillings and root canals to gum treatments and extractions.
 
 State-of-the-Art Facilities: Our clinic is equipped with the latest dental technology, allowing us to diagnose and treat your toothache with precision and comfort.
 
 Patient Comfort: We understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful, especially when you're in pain. Our team will ensure you feel at ease throughout the entire process, providing gentle care and effective solutions.
 
 Affordable Care: We believe that everyone should have access to the dental care they need. Our services are competitively priced, and we offer flexible payment options to make sure you can get the treatment you need without financial worry. 1 1

					Biostimulants Market Expected to Reach US$ 9.6 Billion by 2033 with a 10.8% CAGR
 
 The biostimulants market is predicted to be worth US$ 3.4 billion in 2023, and rise to US$ 9.6 billion by 2033. Demand is expected to increase at a CAGR of 10.8% over the projected period.
 Due to their numerous potential applications and promising futures, biostimulants are employed in horticulture and agriculture. Growing demand for eco-friendly agricultural solutions in developing nations like China and India opens up a new market opportunity for biostimulants producers.
 Since food security and public health are closely related, all parties participating in the agri-food sector have sought to enhance sustainable food production. The largest phytopharmaceutical companies in Asia Pacific and Europe have intensified their production and research activities for natural products.
 
 Lack of restrictions related to the product's commercialization may impede the market's development and expansion during the projection period. Growth is constrained by a lack of confidence in new products, a shortage of information about high-quality products, and a lack of clear regulatory.
 In the majority of markets, the data requirements for the product are often obtained from those produced from synthetic substances. Similarly, there are still no well-established endpoints for risk evaluations despite the fact that these products have been used in commerce for years.
 Key Takeaways
 • By 2033, the US dominates the biostimulants market, with a CAGR of 9.6%.
 • The market for biostimulants increased at a 10.1% CAGR between 2017 and 2022, citing FMI's study.
 • The expansion in China is anticipated to expand at an adequate CAGR of 13.3% by 2033. China’s market is likely to generate a share of US$ 1.1 billion by 2033.
 • Japan's market share for biostimulants is 10.8% by 2033, with the value of US$ 490 million.
 • Between 2023 and 2033, the biostimulants market is likely to increase in South Korea at 11.6% CAGR, respectively.
 • The expansion in the UK is anticipated to expand at an adequate CAGR of 9.9% by 2033. The UK's market is expected to generate a share of US$ 476.2 million by 2033.
 • Based on active ingredients, the acid-based segment is expected to dominate the market with a CAGR of 10.6% by 2033.
 • The adoption trends of biostimulants are predicted to change due to the rising demand for organic farming. As a result, the market is anticipated to increase positively by 1.09x between 2022 and 2023.
 Key Strategies in the Industry
 The main factor of the market's fragmentation is the growth of local players and regional marketplaces in various regions of the world. The two regions with the biggest market activity are North America and Europe.
 UPL Limited, Biostadt India Limited, Isagro SPA, Valagro SpA, and Tradecorp International are a few of the leading businesses in the biostimulants market. For the purpose of expanding their businesses, these significant firms invest in new products, product improvement, expansions, and acquisitions.
 Recent Developments
 • A new line of biostimulant solutions based on GoActiv Technology was launched by UPL Australia in June 2021. These products are intended to target particular crop physiological "pain points" or abiotic stresses in fruit and vegetable, vine, and tree crops.
 • Isagro Group acquired Phoenix Del in 2020 in order to increase the variety of copper-based fungicides and biostimulants it offers. The goal of this acquisition was to advance technology and transform the products in its "BioSolutions" section.

					Wash Pros LLC: Premier Exterior Cleaning Services in East Providence
 
 At Wash Pros LLC, we specialize in top-tier exterior cleaning services designed to keep your property looking its best all year round. Whether it's gutter cleaning, solar panel cleaning, or driveway cleaning, our team uses the latest tools and techniques to ensure your home or business is spotless and well-maintained. Serving East Providence and surrounding areas, we are committed to delivering outstanding results that help enhance curb appeal, protect your investment, and improve the longevity of your property.
 
 Exterior Cleaning: Transform the Look of Your Property
 The exterior of your home or business is the first thing people see. Keeping it clean not only boosts the aesthetic appeal but also protects the structure from weather damage and deterioration. Our comprehensive exterior cleaning services cover a range of areas around your property, including the siding, windows, fences, and patios.
 
 At Wash Pros LLC, we understand that different surfaces require different cleaning techniques. That's why we offer customized solutions, from gentle soft washing for delicate surfaces to more powerful pressure washing for tougher materials. No matter the scope or complexity of the job, we’ll leave your property looking fresh and well-maintained.
 
 Gutter Cleaning: Protect Your Home from Water Damage
 Your gutters play a crucial role in protecting your home from water damage by directing rainwater away from the roof and foundation. Over time, gutters can accumulate leaves, twigs, dirt, and debris, which can obstruct the flow of water. This buildup can lead to water overflow, which may cause significant damage to your roof, siding, and even your home’s foundation.
 
 At Wash Pros LLC, our gutter cleaning service ensures that your gutters are clear, free of debris, and functioning properly. We use specialized tools to safely remove all debris and ensure that your gutters are flowing freely. Regular gutter cleaning helps prevent costly repairs down the line and keeps your home protected from the elements.
 
 Solar Panel Cleaning: Maximize Your Solar Efficiency
 Your solar panels are an investment in both your home’s energy efficiency and the environment. To ensure they work at their peak performance, it’s important to keep them clean and free of dirt, dust, and debris. Dirty panels can significantly reduce the amount of sunlight absorbed, ultimately decreasing their energy production.
 
 At Wash Pros LLC, we offer professional solar panel cleaning services to help you maximize the efficiency of your solar system. Our team uses specialized cleaning techniques that are gentle on your panels but effective in removing dirt, grime, and other buildup. We ensure that your solar panels remain in excellent condition, providing you with optimal energy savings.
 
 Driveway Cleaning: Enhance the First Impression
 Your driveway is one of the most visible parts of your property, and over time, it can become stained and dirty from oil spills, tire marks, dirt, and weather exposure. Driveway cleaning is an essential service that restores the look of your driveway and boosts the overall appearance of your property.
 
 At Wash Pros LLC, we use powerful pressure washing equipment to remove dirt, stains, and buildup from concrete, asphalt, and other driveway materials. Our experts know how to tackle tough stains while preserving the integrity of your driveway. A clean driveway not only adds curb appeal but also extends the life of the surface, helping you avoid costly repairs.

					Cancer Immunotherapy Market Extensive Industry Analysis, Growth Rate, Segmentation, Investment Opportunities and Top Manufacturers 2035
 
 The global cancer immunotherapy market is on a promising trajectory, with a projected value increase from USD 134.40 billion in 2024 to USD 346.63 billion by 2035, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. This innovative therapeutic approach leverages the body’s immune system to identify and combat cancer cells, presenting a compelling alternative to traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation, which often come with significant side effects.
 
 Market Growth Projections
 
 The market is anticipated to grow significantly, reaching USD 148.73 billion in 2025 before hitting USD 346.63 billion by 2035. The rising incidence of cancer globally, projected to see around 2,041,910 new cases and approximately 618,120 deaths in the U.S. alone by 2025, is a primary driver behind this growth.
 
 Drivers of Growth
 
 Key factors propelling the market include the increasing prevalence of cancer and a growing demand for targeted therapies. Cancer immunotherapy offers a more precise approach, effectively directing the immune response to target cancerous cells while sparing normal cells. This specificity has made it a preferred treatment modality, especially for patients who have developed resistance to traditional therapies.
 
 Segmentation
 
 The cancer immunotherapy market is segmented by several criteria:
 
 1. Type of Product: This includes immune checkpoint inhibitors, cell therapies, cancer vaccines, immunomodulators, monoclonal antibodies, and oncolytic viral therapies.
 2. Application: Key applications include breast cancer, colorectal cancer, head and neck cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and others.
 3. Route of Administration: Segments include intravenous (IV), intramuscular, and oral routes. Notably, the oral administration segment currently holds the largest market share due to patient preference for self-administration.
 4. Mechanism of Action: This includes immune checkpoint inhibitors, tumor antigen targeted therapy, cell signaling modulators, and immune modulators.
 5. Distribution Channel: The market is divided into hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online pharmacies, with hospital pharmacies accounting for the largest share.
 6. End User: The primary end users include hospitals and clinics, cancer research centers, and other entities.
 7. Geographical Regions: The market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and North Africa, and Latin America, with North America currently holding the largest share.
 
 Challenges
 
 Despite the promising growth, the market faces significant challenges. The high costs associated with cancer immunotherapy, stringent regulatory guidelines, and tumor heterogeneity—which can complicate treatment efficacy—pose substantial barriers. Additionally, immune-related adverse events can hinder widespread adoption.
 
 Key Players in the Industry
 
 The competitive landscape features numerous established and emerging players actively engaging in research and development to enhance clinical pipelines for cancer therapies. Key players include AstraZeneca, Amgen, AbbVie, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Pfizer, among others. These companies are involved in strategic initiatives such as partnerships and collaborations to advance their therapeutic offerings.
 
 Recent Developments
 
 Recent advancements in the field have seen significant investments in research to enhance cancer immunotherapy. For instance, collaborations like that between The University of Pennsylvania and the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, which renewed their alliance with a USD 125 million investment, highlight ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of cancer treatment.
 
 Conclusion
 
 The cancer immunotherapy market is poised for significant growth, driven by increasing cancer incidence and the demand for more effective, targeted therapies. While challenges remain, ongoing research and developments promise to enhance the effectiveness and accessibility of immunotherapy treatments, making this an exciting area of focus within the biopharmaceutical industry.
