The crazy thing is I hadn't been online on Twitter for almost a month [1]. I hadn't logged in at all. So how could I have broken any rules?
Was it just a way to get me to log back in? Well, I logged in after getting the email to appeal the suspension and they told me to wait for feedback.
If I lose my Twitter account I won't lose any sleep over it.
"it was written by that guy 5 years ago,but he left; so nobody is in charge and nobody understands it anymore, but it still works perfectly and we do not need any upgrades" :-))
"Okay, that's just about the end of your training, any quest-OH, Don't forget, you can never ever turn off the light in the storage closet! It is cursed and the company cannot function while the switch is off. Yes I know there's no lightbulb. No we do not know why. If we knew why it wouldn't be that way."
I worked at a place once with an old Win 2k server sitting in the corner of the server room. It had once been a workgroup/domain controller but was long retired from that job. As far as we could tell, nothing was talking to the box anymore and the box wasn’t hosting anything anymore. But for some reason if we shut it down, the network would have random failures to communicate between various devices. It was never especially high priority solve, so we just all knew that we couldn’t turn off that box. Never did find out what was misconfigured before I left.
Once I worked at a company in a "historic building":
In some of the rooms, the wallplugs were connected to the switch for the ceiling lightbulb and you had to draw/rotate the switch into the correct direction, to have energy on the wallplugs.
People always complained that something must be broken in these rooms,since they do not have alectricity the whole day on all the wallplugs :-D :-D
This submission is likely to get flagged since the topic of abortion is understandably inflammatory. But I thought it's a good essay to share.
I'm going to copy a previous comment I made two hours ago on a different submission and say that If you enjoyed reading this, I suggest you read the book "Billions and Billions: Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium" by Carl Sagan. It was the last book he wrote before he died in 1996. The book contains a collection of essays by Carl Sagan on various topics, and it includes the essay submitted above.
