Finally found where AWS keeps all my data! Turns out "cloud storage" is just cotton balls on shelves. No wonder my S3 costs keep piling up - they're buying premium cotton. Bet they charge extra for the "fluffy tier" too. Next time sales promises "elastic cloud scaling," I'm just going to point to this closet and ask which shelf they plan to use.

When AWS sends you a bill for $14.74 from four years ago, you become the silent resistance fighter. While everyone's making grand gestures canceling Prime accounts over Amazon's latest controversy, you're quietly fighting the system by "forgetting" to pay that ancient cloud hosting bill for your abandoned side project. It's not tax evasion, it's a principled stand against corporate memory! The AWS debt collectors can pry that $14.74 from your cold, dead keyboard.

Computer programmers have come up with beautiful collab- orative change tracking systems (like git) that let you easily make changes to a huge base of code, track who changed what, submit and resolve conflicting versions of updates, etc. But when we pass a new bill that replaces or modifies an old law, it is always some 300 page document with pages of "Subsection F Paragraph 3 will be modified to read 'XYZ' Why not put the laws into a git repository and make it easy for bills to just modify the existing history to say what you want it to say? And why not have the transparency to see exactly what changes and WHO implemented that change? Want to slip some pork for your district into an unrelated bill? Well, that edit is going to have your name on it. Of course it will never happen. Reply 4 928 J imtn 1h Who the heck wrote this ridiculous bill? git blame Ah. I did. 217
