ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIESIt's not weird for some species to incorporate toxins from their diet as defenses: poison dart frogs, monarch butterflies, sea slugs, etc

Stuck HereHaha I worked with a consultant who did something similar. He was responsible for building cinemas in the Midwest portion of the USA. When he completed a cinema and ticked off all of the boxes he'd go around and unscrew some light bulbs, pull some carpet to leave a wrinkle, and leave protective film on one of the poster cases. He did this so the dumbass execs didn't make him redo a row of seating because they thought it at the wrong angle or something.

A few years ago I designed a way to detect bit-flips in Firefox crash reports and last year we deployed an actual memory tester that runs on user machines after the browser crashes. Today I was looking at the data that comes out of these tests and now I'm 100% positive that the heuristic is sound and a lot of the crashes we see are from users with bad memory or similarly flaky hardware. Here's a few numbers to give you an idea of how large the problem is. 🧵 1/5
