DBA's Corner During Any Roadmap Meeting

No fucking shit. (In case anyone cares, fucking Google keyboard won’t let me swipe that, instead comes out as “no ducking shut”, assholes. I mean seriously, I’ve been coding for 20+ years and Google wants to be my grandma! If that doesn’t make sense, fuck you it’s the Margarita!)

Asking “[w]ho really rules?” researchers Martin Gilens and Benjamin I. Page argue that over the past few decades America’s political system has slowly transformed from a democracy into an oligarchy, where wealthy elites wield most power.

This the same everywhere .. Bureaucratic rule-followers without imagination but a savior-complex.

Hahaha! Pile on science bitches!

Just convert to the fucking metric system, America. For fuck’s sake, you’re embarrassing yourself.

Sometimes you don’t know how to feel about your doggleganger.

SpaceX completes first-ever rocket landing following launch. For the first time in history, an orbital rocket successfully landed back on Earth following the completion of its primary objective.

The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched 11 satellites for Orbcomm at 8:30 pm EST. Eleven minutes later, at 8:41, the first stage of the rocket landed at Landing Zone-1, seven kilometers south of where it started from, SLC-40.

Following its landing, SpaceX technicians will safe the rocket and lower it to a horizontal position. From there, it will be sent to a facility for further safing and inspection. Sometime in 2016, the stage will be sued for fit checks at the company’s newly-acquired and renovated LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center.
