Great climate and gorgeous scenery but it is a city that lost a ground war with an army of homeless drug addicts. Human feces on all of the streets, regular property crime, stores closing up and moving away, intense regulatory oversight for

I followed Matthew over from project honeypot and they sent me a T-shirt for being one of the first 100 users on cloudflare. I’m sure if I wanted I’d have gotten more help. Thing is, you’re right, I’m a paying customer and even though Pages

Cloudflare Pages has a show stoping bug at the moment. Link a repo from GitHub then change the name of your GitHub repo and the pages breaks but won't let you relink your Github repo anywhere. I opened a ticket with support. I have got

I had someone working at Chase telling my vendor how much money was in my account. I was a private client at JP Morgan and had a business account with them. The vendor was threatening me and using my bank account level (down to the penny)

The fed wasn’t buying junk bonds in 1999 to keep failing companies afloat. There wasn’t an overvaluation of everything from real estate to NFT’s. The decade before hadn’t seen QE used to help bail out the rich. There wasn’t stagflation happ

I had an Xbox hooked up around 2002 at a friends house (high school years for me) and their father commented that Dead or Alive looked like a movie to them. They didn’t know how games could look more realistic. Crazy how far we have come si
