In the news

The Fed is still trying to tighten its quants, but its not a simple matter.

They’re still sitting on 7 trillion USD worth of assets, up 3x from what they had in 2010. They've neutralised 1 trillion usd worth of money without most of us noticing, which is amazing and a positive thing for the stability of the economy currently as they’d been running the printing presses at full power to contain the 2008 crisis and to avoid contagion from the latest batch of US banks going bust a year ago. However, they’re still sitting on several trillions worth of assets that they can’t get rid of too quickly without causing chaos, and that they can’t keep without adding fuel to inflationary pressures on the economy.

And now working again.

All three links work for me.

I can confirm that they were not working earlier, I just assumed DJ was shit at the internet though. Didn’t occur to me that the site was buggered.

Edit: links still not working for me, DJ is shit at the internet again.

Kidderminster innit.

It wasn't working because I'd changed the entire load balancer... having not rebooted that server or updated it in 10 years, I figured it was time.

But in doing this I failed to correctly map part of the config file... because of course, if I make a new server then it's not compatible with 10 year old config and so I had to rewrite it all.

BTW, we have a new load balancer now.

My loads feel suitable balanced and unfortunately that link is working now and I've had the displeasure of reading it.

Have you considered donation?

The actual fuck?! Jesus Christ 😑

Those animal torture people, I am not one for Revenge and stuff, but if I saw one of them in the street I am not sure what I'd do.

Absolutely

Kidderminster was also 'famous' for a very strange beastiality case.

Seemed to be a thing (in that area), of sticking fireworks up cats bums and frogs while bragging, with pride, about doing so.

Used it as a guage of people to avoid.

Hey, capitalism.

Do people in the market for a Monet usually head over to ebay?
