Seeing heavier than average activity all of a sudden from “http://rum-ingest.usO.signalfx.com”, figured out it’s only my moms iPhone

If I had to bet, it was probably bundled in with some app she downloaded. There are so many shady games and utility apps that install their own spyware into the phone. It might not even be anything that she uses all that often. Once it's in there, it just does it's own thing in the background.

I'd go through the app list in the settings menu and close and delete any downloaded apps she doesn't use or recognize.

A fine dining restaurant served a quadriplegic woman a desert that read "happy birthday wheelchair"

I saw a video on this yesterday.

Yes, it's shitty and I'd be mortified if I was involved in this in any way, but I think it was a very unfortunate misunderstanding.

I think the other comment is on the right track. The most likely scenario is that the server typed in a note as to who the dessert was for, the plate decorator took it as what to write on the plate, and the expo just ran the food out to the table without knowing anything about what's going on.

Common sense should probably make you question if Wheelchair should really be on the plate like that, but maybe it isn't uncommon for people to request light hearted jokes on these kinds of things. I know I could get away with doing something like that for one of my friends and it being appreciated as a good natured joke, but those are people I know well, not complete strangers.

The restaurant has since acknowledged and apologized for the mistake.

Why does God allow evil and suffering?

Dropping in food and burning the whole thing down are pretty powerful, but not ALL powerful. These are things that any of us could do for/to each other.

Also, none of us really know what's happening in that ant farm. God supposedly knows all of our names and relationships to others and sees every single thing we do on a very granular level.

If your claim is that God is just an entity looking down at us and blindly fucking around with the environment, that may be possible, but there's no more reason to worship that being than the weather itself.

What it something a parent did that damaged your relationship with them forever with no recovery.

I still don't know what Mom's problem was with her, not that I even care. Before that point, they would each text me "You won't believe what she said to me!". I was stick on the middle trying to figure out what really happened, but something my mom said didn't match with a major detail that she didn't know about my wife's past, so I had a feeling she was the one causing the shenanigans. That's when I suggested the recordings.
