Speak of the devil... I just checked my messages and saw this from my wife an hour ago: "ACC north ridge has an armed person on campus. Don’t go out"
I checked the news just now and found this out: "AUSTIN (KXAN) — A shelter-in-place order was lifted for the Austin Community College Northridge Campus.
The campus issued the order at 8:50 a.m. amid reports of a possible armed person nearby. Police investigated the reports and issued an all-clear.
The shelter-in-place was lifted at 10:20 a.m., and the campus returned to normal operations."
So literally by just spending my time being nerd sniped on the internet and tweaking a Dockerfile I missed the entirety of this nothingness.
- ethbr0 3y agoTo me, this is the "past generations" litmus test I measure any of my personal preferences against. If people were able to handle not-it in 1920, it's probably a "nice to have" rather than a "must have." Which, we can all feel very strongly about things that are nice to have, but people were also doing just fine before constant connectivity was a thing.

You didn't have a freezer, but you had a butcher within walking distance. And you didn't have a phone in your school, but you also didn't have retarded media that spread news that required. Also you could probably have a gun on you, and if it was hunting season there would be plenty of guns in the parking lot to stop a school threat.
