Welcome to the world of #serverless #bliss, where a SINGLE click costs you a Tesla!
This article is a heartwarming tale of how to lose 100k overnight by letting your #Firebase #project fend for itself. Apparently, "rate limiting" isn't just a suggestion, but a necessary life skill.

“We are over the shock of the #American betrayal, but we should never forget the #lessons As I’ve been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our #country.
These are not #idle threats. President #Trump is trying to break us so #America can own us.
That will #never … ever happen. But we also must recognise the #reality that our #world has #fundamentally #changed.”

#Random lessons:
1. Ran out of thread. Needed to buy more. Substituted a different thread, hopefully will hold up fine.
2. Upholstery thread is much harder to work with than normal thread.
3. End of the spool of thread was near impossible to use, due to change in tension.
4. Should have gotten softer cushions. The firmer cushion was hard to cut even with a electric paring knife. Used the firmness recommended for the Eames, but this was actually softer.
5. Exact shape and size of material is not that important, as long as the material covers the face of the cushion. It's all pulled back and stapled anyway.
6. Vinyl is extremely, extremely, extremely stretchy... must adjust everything to accommodate for that stretch.
7. Bought too much material... Probably an extra yard. Now I need to figure out what to do with that material. Used an estimate for an Eames, vs. the Eames clone I have, and there is no backing on the clone (thus less material)
8. Hardest part of this was the arms, particularly getting the welting evenly sewn around the edges.
9. Snap button didn't work, covering the old buttons and new buttons with fabric by hand was the best way to do this, and looks and works fine.

@soatok I didn't know you when you published that one, but it's most excellent. I don't understand why it's on the bottom of your views.
The benevolence/kindness part against evil is a kind of super power. Bad people just don't get it to a point... And they don't get it even more why people will side with you for that.
(Then, I wanted to express something about feeling out of place in the world, and my brain was weaving threads between that post, your "doesn't matter" one, the recent most excellent post by @grimalkina https://social.treehouse.systems/@grimalkina@mastodon.social/114350502204401207 or in French when @uichelorraine describes her family or point out the common malovelence around her, or when @dysfun expressed lack of understanding when I explained how I try to manage my company and the values I try to put in that, or @RuthMalan all encompassing empathy, but it goes nowhere so the unknotting will be left as an exercise for the readers.
Perhaps it's just: you're all very good, kind, uncommon people, and life is complicated and I hope you will find ways to make it works for you)

Lessons on How to Draw by Hokusai via Kottke [Shared]
In 1812, Japanese woodblock print artist Katsushika Hokusai, who would later become famous for his iconic Great Wave off Kanagawa prints, published a three-volume series called Quick Lessons in Simplified Drawing. All three volumes are available online: one, two, three. Even if you’re not in the market for drawing lessons, the pages are wonderful to flip through.
