But I had no idea Rebecca Ferguson, a k a Rebecca Louisa Ferguson SundstrΓΆm, is Swedish! Ferguson is her mother's name. Her dad is a Swedish business man and her mom is English, but spent her adult life in Sweden. The mom seems vaguely in the music industry and translated some ABBA lyrics in the 70s. Rebecca grew up in Vasastaden in Stockholm and started her career in a Swedish soap opera.
Even when she played Jenny Lind in The Greatest Showman nobody pointed this out to me!

"you will have seven years consecutive in January? and visa expires in September? then you apply the extension in September and apply permanent in January. there's no other way, sorry."
Ok then. Clear answer at least, and one less thing to mind in the now.

We checked container node specs and limit, db VM specs, everything is the same!"
Turns out "everything is the same" was the problem, when the world around the container wasn't the same. π

100% a joke, there was no way it was DNS.
Today I found a configuration line.
It shouldn't matter, but just to exclude the impossible we had to try it.
It was frikkin DNS.
Not a network mesh latency issue, not a weird thing with the database, just some service (a shelf product, not our code) that incessantly looks up whatever names on every single request, without caching, and it was doing it from another continent, slowing everything to molasses.

I know what people say about YouTube comments, but for the kind of videos I tend to watch, the comments are overwhelmingly of the delightful sort.

It's like her entire face changed, just from that change in frame.
I had to go back and look at some older clips and yep, I do recognize her when her hair is tied.
Remarkably how such a seemingly small change can throw the whole pattern recognition machinery off.

In many scientific contexts, implied multiplication by just putting things together without a "Β·" or "Γ" binds tighter, basically because it's visually tighter. But in high school algebra that kind of notation isn't used much, so people haven't been exposed to the issue. -

Several years later I took it out of the drawer in my old room in my parents' home and it still ran. On the original batteries!

In Sweden we learned that "no no, nobody actually writes that symbol, that's just a button on the calculator that symbolises a number over another separated by a horizontal division bar".

In highschool I had a non-graphing RPN HP and at uni I didn't have use for a calculator.
