These are all network addresses that refer to localhost - how a computer addresses itself.

Probably, but fortunately it hasn’t happened again in almost twenty years, so I’m not overly concerned about it. Still, your concern for my wellbeing is appreciated!

Right, it does make the concepts very straightforward.

When I started at my current job, I had basically no familiarity with AWS. Someone tried to explain how AWS networking worked to me and did so by drawing this on the whiteboard at the office.

I think they all theorized it was a food allergy (I have a vague memory of being given steroidal treatments) but I don’t really recall. If that was what they thought, it may or may not have been correct, but it’s inconsistent with anything I’ve experienced before or since.

Something like seventeen years ago, I discovered this as well and gratefully enjoyed my cookie. Not ten minutes later, I was spewing fluid from every orifice I have. I developed hives, too. Also, I didn’t realize until someone told me, but apparently I had an extreme pallor.

I’ve never had an allergic reaction to a cookie before, nor an allergic reaction that severe to any food item. I hadn’t consumed anything else suspect that day. It was bad enough that, once I had a sufficient break in my extensive leakage, I went to the hotel lobby where the hotel manager happened to be; he took one look at me and immediately went to call an ambulance without even asking me.

Once I was in the ambulance, even the paramedics commented on the volume and violence of my still ongoing reaction.

I was hospitalized overnight and it went away on its own over several hours. I was at a hotel for a week of on-site training for a new job and somehow the employer heard about it - I got major credit for showing up to the first day of training the next morning despite the circumstances.

Nothing else went wrong health wise during that trip but I haven’t stayed at that chain since.

edit: Corrected a word.

Thank you for the link and information!

Hey, this almost exactly matches my situation. Neat.

I’m nowhere close by and would be grateful for an explanation.

Your code may suck, but your reviews are fantastic.

You misspelled “Colbyyyyyy,” just FYI.

I think “Meatloaf” is a great name for a chubby guinea pig.

Zed access sounds a lot cooler and more scifi than z axis.

Supposedly, on any of the many occasions when archaeologists have found what is clearly an antique dildo, tradition advised labeling them something like “ceremonial relic.”

Give whirled peas a chance.

I don’t drink coffee and rarely tea, so you won’t get any argument from me.

My first house was in a town where the hall of records burned down in 1920. Which means that no one still around knows when anything older was actually built, butofficially everything older was built in 1920.

They really should have included that storyline in Power Rangers, TBH.

He was.

I remember only because at the time they were advertising that the green power ranger would be getting a power upgrade and I said to my older brother that I bet he would become the white power ranger (not being aware of the connotations at the time, nor anything else other than the kid’s show).

He said that wasn’t possible. How would they display the trademark white diamonds, he asked? It still boggles my mind that that was his only reasoning.
