As you're probably aware we experienced some unplanned downtime today. It has been claimed it was entirely the fault of Russian Hackers. They invaded fluorine and caused the database updating code in rehash to not update the database this last site update. Which is just as well, I suppose, since two of the SQL statements refuse to complete even when run manually. That I'm going to have to chalk up to a misconfigured ndbd on helium and neon.
tl;dr The long and short of it is, we'll be fine until we can get those updates into the database, but it is going to mean more downtime this weekend.

How sad and lonely your life must be to constantly visit a site you hate just to tell them you hate it.
Do you also constantly visit restaurants you dislike so that you can tell the waiters that you hate their food?

Nah, it's mostly about TMB given the subject. I can actually see that TMB could upset somebody like that. It's like Howard Stern. The average fan listens 2.5 hours per day. The average hater listens for 4 hours. Both for the same reason. To see what he will say next.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.

It's a gift. What'd really blow their minds is figuring out that every one of them who keeps coming back just means the site has grown by one. It's not like they're ever going to win against me. They can't piss me off no matter how hard they try because I haven't cared about other people's opinions of me for a very long time now.

When I finally got to that point in my life, it was explosively liberating--suddenly I went from wondering how you are going to like me, to wondering whether I am going to like you (but not really worrying about it all that much). Bang! Gone, an unsuspectingly enormous amount of problems I didn't need.
I congratulate you on living in the same happy place. I highly recommend it.

Dear disingenuous shitstain,
Getting to that point in your life where you don't care about other people's opinions is not liberating unless you have "fuck-you" money. You're familiar with "fuck-you" money because you and I both know you're swimming in it. Without the money - which you so very conveniently neglected to mention because you're a lying shit pile - life becomes unbearable. And it doesn't ever get better. You have to convince people to like you otherwise people don't give you money, and if you can't give a shit about what people think, well then you're fucked for life.
Do not try to bullshit me, asshole.

Yeah, with the quality of the trolls lately (dull, unentertaining) I almost fondly remember "External Reproductive Organ Ethnic Group! Our age preference skews downward!"

people like you are actually why I visit. you're very inadequate in both the looks and the iq department, and you know this in the real world where you lurk in the shadows pretending to be busy on your phone and hoping no one hears you breathing. you're hard to see or notice in the real world. get you behind a keyboard though, and you get loud and hilarious, like a kid with a diaper full of shit and jam on his face yelling that someone farted hilarious.
no retard, I don't visit restaurants I dislike. I clearly state I love this site. I also love comedy shows with retards on stage, large gatherings of losers at whom I can laugh, and you and people like you. you are my personal clowns, and I appreciate greatly this site and the people on it. I love to, a couple of times a week, laugh at the losers. That does involve posting, and telling the losers they're losers, and getting these confused responses back.
hey sherlock - where did I tell anyone here I hate them? you know what does happen though? ugly beta loser keyboard warriors assume everyone around them hates them. no one hates you fuggo. we just laugh at you, but that's not out of hate - that's out of you being a goofy thing that we don't look at as a real person. shall I axkplain some more?

Wow. You sound like such a happy and well rounded person. Here's the thing - when you actually have to waste energy telling everyone what a successful, totally definitely alpha, six figure earning idol you are and what a loser they are in comparison, then you just ain't got it. Real success, attractiveness and power are effortless and understated. When you've really got it you don't have to mouth off because they just know. Oh, by the way, your communication skills are second to none. I can see they must serve you well in that high flying career.

While I acknowledge and support your overall message, I question this bit. I have put in quite a bit of effort, and that seems to be the norm...

Aww shucks; you just had to go and ruin it. Should seem effortless then. For some it is effortless but that's often as much down to luck than ability. Either way, the dude tries too hard. If you've got a great dick, you don't need to blab about it. Word soon gets around.
