I was a cop for 10 days. 10 days and then I quit. I don’t think I’ve ever explained, so here I go. Buckle up, this could be long. I originally wanted to go into juvenile probation. I got my bachelors in criminology and was an intern for 3 years at probation. (1/24)

Believe what you want to believe, but a friend at Google I've known and trusted for decades says that Google doesn't tweak search results to be more PC. All the suspicious-looking search results are artifacts.

A lot of people have asked why the CDC estimates close to 100M total US COVID-19 infections (28%) by Dec 1, while covid19-projections.com only estimates 58M (17%). I believe there are major flaws in the CDC estimates, which I will explain in this thread. cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nco…

This is 100% the right move. This will help us beat this terrible virus. The science is unanimous - if we all wear masks, we slow down the spread and can reopen safely. It’s not a political issue. Anyone making it a political issue is an absolute moron who can’t read.
NEW: Californians are now REQUIRED to wear face coverings in public spaces. Together -- we can slow the spread. Do your part. Wear a mask. LEARN MORE: covid19.ca.gov

THREAD - History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes: a thread about the **Anti-Mask League** of 1919. I'm not kidding I went HAM researching this So, starting in Sept 2018 San Francisco suffered from Spanish Flu pandemic. Initial mask wearing was good -- around 80 percent

GCP's elasticity & scalability is second to none with Aerospike. Some of our customers, especially those in e-commerce, prefer not to use certain cloud providers for competitive reasons & want to partner with Google. Blog by Ronen B Director of Product. ow.ly/V5kP50yQa5e

Last year, I lost a lot of possessions due to collateral damage from a fire that thankfully didn't kill me. Yesterday, my friends surprised me with a painted guitar to replace the one that retains a metallic chemical smell.

the thing i miss most about not being in any position of leadership was the ability to have hurt feelings, avoid people, and just generally be petty sometimes. this always having to swallow hard and take it, be the bigger person ... it is stupid and i hate it.

Anyway, I hope I don't get completely roasted for this, but it's something I've wanted to get off my chest for 7 years. Thanks for reading.
