Yeah, that's why we went with a third region instead. But, at the end of the day, if _only_ changes are affected for a couple of hours, that wouldn't impact the service that much

What I did once I was in the position of _having_ to provide that level of support, was to run the pipeline in a third region, different from the "prod" ones. That way, worst case you can't do deployments during the outage...

Another alternative studied was to use a thirdparty ci/cd service, outside of our network. It was discarded bc you never know where that would actually run

My last two (severely low end) cars had a function that opened slightly one window when there was just one door open,for this reason... To allow the last door to close without excessive force.

On one of the cars it wasnt enabled from factory, but I asked the dealership and they enabled it at no cost.

Australia, and Argentina since then 90s, use the Y plug, which is not mentioned in the article.

Why Argentina used the same plug as Australia I have no idea, and it's not fully documented as far as know.

Domingo comes from Dominicus, or "belonging to the Lord" as in French, or the Italian "Domenica". All share the same etymology

"Sábado" is Spanish for Shabat as is Sabato in Italian

(I'm sure other romance languages are similar, even Portuguese, that has Sábado and Domingo, but the rest of the days are numbered from 2nd to 6th, oddly enough)

All of them coming directly from Latin

Haven't read him, actually! I will now!

At least not where I live, that's it!

Yes, in "proper" spanish they sound different. That said, except when exaggerating, I know noone who makes the distinction in day to day conversations!

LOL! Nooooo

I stand by the Ñ!

Adding to my post, with regards to "y": In school we are teached there are 5 vowels "aeiou" yet the "y" sound when used alone is a vowel!

I've half-jokingly, proposed a similar change to Spanish, basically:

z, c (as in "ce", "ci"): use "s" (non european spanish speakers do not distinguish these sounds anyway)

v: always use "b"

c (as in "ca", "co", "cu"), q(u) (as in "que", "quiso"): replaced with "k"

w: why do we have this letter?! use "u"

y (as vowel): use "i" (basically only used as "and" in Spanish)

y (as consonant): stays like it is now (important in some variants where it sounds pretty much as "sh" in English)

ll as in "lluvia": replaced with "y"

h (mute as in "hueso", "humano"): Just remove it (ueso, umano)

ch (as in "chorizo"): replaced with "c"

r, rr: Couldn't yet find a good replacement that's not ambiguous for the soft and vibrant sounds in all the use-cases...

ñ: this stays. it gives the language personality!

I've got not much traction with my friend, though!!!!!

Oh, I remember having to look at the revision code for the 3c509... If memory serves, if it wasn't one of the red ones it had to be returned, and the red were a mixed bag!

As a trans person that has started hormone therapy "late" ( I'm in my 40s), I can tell you I _feel_ much better since...

I know it's just one data point...

At least in Buenos Aires metro area where I live, cell, water and gas are working ok. Water may be an issue if this continues as the pipe pressure is not enough to fill up the buildings tanks, so you'll need to go to ground level with buckets or similar.

In all of the countries affected the standard way to cook is natural gas, so we should be good in that front until power is up again.

I'm getting reports from friends and family that different zones of the metro area are getting powered as I write.

Me, still no luck... Hopefully in the next hour!

My grandparents had a Rotiseria here in Buenos Aires in the '30s and '40s, so I can confirm that is not a novelty :P

Then you are not making 90$ an hour, but whatever is the prorated fare accounting for your not-billing hours.

I'm always playing around with messaging for pet projects, and tried xmpp a couple of times.

Honest question for edification and future play around projects: what alternatives do exist, fixing the issues presented here?

I'd love a lean, multiplatform api, with presence, multi-user chat, extensible for my use case, etc.

Recommendations?

And antagonist to freshmeat.net?

Yes, I know I do assume they are safer.

If the ecig industry were regulated, then we could make sure the liquid has no or minimal side effects.

In my country it is worse because ecigs are forbidden (given that uncertainity), so we have a black market for ecigs, making the quality of the liquids even more quetionable.

I know tobacco is really bad, and I have doubts about ecig. So, I give the benefit of the doubt, as it is little probability it is worse.
