I can now cross Start A Cooking Fire off of my bucket list. All is well, nobody got hurt, and there was zero damage. The contents of the frying pan I was using suddenly caught fire, so it was just a matter of pulling the pan off the stove and waiting a couple of seconds for the material to burn off. Still, that was pretty intense—and it’s over. #Whew #DodgedABullet #AdrenalineSurge

Do you ever stop and think of the weird bullets we, as society, have dodged?
Like that famous time Stanislav Petrov decided not to report what looked like incoming missiles - deeming it a computer issue - and thus saved us from what could have genuinely been a nuclear weapons incident?

Or more importantly, that time that Goldeneye (the James Bond film) almost had a title track by Ace of Base but luckily didn't?

Incredible how lucky we are.

When I see stuff like this, I’m glad my tradition has historically eschewed vestments! 😬 #dodgedabullet

@thedoh @RainofTerra

I had something like that happen at a company I had done a #takehome for. I shipped a bare-bones proof of concept that did everything, but wasn't pretty but also used an off-the-shelf module. I figured I was two days in for a week project.

And they just sat on it. I asked if the module was alright, the recruiter had no idea... and later they just said that they were disappointed I didn't use the time to do something more stylish or cool.

@jerry @ojensen @dylanowendylan Agreed! The first time I was asked to become CISO, the company knew of a massive breach and were concealing it. They wanted someone to “fix things” but it was already too late. I refused the position before knowing of the issue - later, when they reached out for IR services the picture became very clear. #DodgedABullet :amaze:

Daraufhin hab ich ihm gesagt, dass ich glaube den Grund für sein Single-dasein gefunden habe, und es hat nichts mit seiner Körpergröße zu tun.
Es fingen Beleidigungen an und ich habe ihn blockiert und gemeldet (auf Instagram)
