Absolutely regret just doing the same thing.

I was editing some audio last week and I just picked the first thing in Google that didn't look like shit and didn't try to take my first born child (which I don't even have), to use any feature of it. Turns out it was this! Thanks, it's been a pleasure using your tool and I'll definitely do it again!

It's in the TFA, there a photo of a fellow holding a small box thing that looks like a battery from a car or an old box torch.

That’s the one I meant. It’s the core, but in a box, which makes it look even more innocuous, like he is indeed just lugging a piece of industrial equipment around. There’s lots of photos of the actual (unboxed) cores online if you search.

>makes it look even more innocuous, like he is indeed just lugging a piece of industrial equipment around

if i remember correctly what i read it was done intentionally for security reasons - instead of all the pomp-and-circumstance of a large strong security convoy the core was delivered by a driver in a simple inconspicuous truck.


On flight WiFi so searching was a hard but I did find it. Thanks!

I saw that but not a picture of the plutonium core which I thought the OP was referring to

My 70mbps connection couldn't even buffer the videos so I gave up trying to watch them. It didn't even look that high quality...


This is cursed and wonderful. I especially appreciate status code 418. I hope I run into that in the wild one day, then I'll think of you!


When I was a kid I wanted to learn how to skateboard. I watched videos on technique a lot, read a bunch of articles, watched Rodney Mullen do some insane foot trickery, and then one night I had a dream of the mechanics of it. Standing on the board as I'd learned online, how to push (not mongo, naturally), and when waking up that day, I asked my friend if I could borrow a skateboard to try.

I remember getting on the board, pushing as I'd dreamed, and voila! Off I went. Something about it did not feel new at all. I'd really visualised the process and it just worked. God I miss skating sometimes, but my self-preservation always far outweighed my desire to eat concrete.


A bit off topic, but I recently had a drink that didn't have the attached bottle cap while travelling abroad, and my god, was it a minor annoyance to have to hold the bottle cap in my hand while drinking. I also almost dropped it because I expected it to stay attached. Funny how fast we adapt.


Every single time I get up and then sit back down, I have to brace myself for electrical impact. Maybe it's the universe telling me to stop working (or stop taking breaks... hmm).


I’m with you. As someone who cycles every day, just put the right clothes on when the weather calls for it, and if you need to buy a sofa, then rent an hourly car for ten bucks.


Same! This nightmare seems to have started recently from what I have experienced. I find myself hard refreshing constantly to get the damn tickets to open.

If anyone from atlassian reads this: please, for the love of god resolve this issue.
