    Blaming the intern is the cheapest and dirtiest "trick" in the book. This also disregards any chain of responsibility in the company that is supposed to train and prevent people from making mistakes like this:

    Current and former top executives at SolarWinds are blaming a company intern for a critical lapse in password security that apparently went undiagnosed for years. The password in question, "solarwinds123," was discovered in 2019 on the public internet.

    Yesterday some asshats at a construction site next door burned paint off the building door and smoked my entire apartment, then set off the fire alarm. Last night it still smelled, today I woke up with a headache. I think this automatically qualifies today as treat day 🌷 💆🏻‍♀️

    This is an adorable bug 😀 off-by-planet

    I was looking on IRIS for seismic stations in the Pacific and spotted one in an odd place. Its the Mars Insight lander seismograph plotted at the corresponding lat, lon on earth. Need to upgrade software to be sure things are on the right planet.
