If you want nothing, you might get what you want. Want something. Work for it. Earn it. Admit when you need support. Accept the support you need. Don't wait for time, make it.
Btwn @FlyFrontier+@JetBlue had 6+ delays leading to 3 cancelled flights. I just want to get home already. Day 1, weather-related staffing issues. Day 2 non-weather staffing issues. 16 hours in-airport 😬 Is this how travel is now? What will day 3's cancellation be caused by? 😔
@JetBlue a fake account reached out to me pretending to be JetBlue tech support and tried to get me to write hundreds of dollars to Kenya. Screw you "@__Jetblue____" for trying to straight up to rob people when they're having a difficult time.
@JetBlue I'm still in line w/ several others. I'm hoping to join the morning flight standby list. At this rate I'm concerned the flight will leave before I can ask. I know the agents are doing all they can, I appreciate it, and I'm sorry they have had to work late as well.

Well, it took 29 years, but I finally watched the original Jurassic Park, a cautionary tale about understaffing your engineering department and letting people push code directly to prod.
On @AlaskaAir flight to SFO 🌉 10th in line for takeoff on an active taxi-way. Over an hour late for departure with headaches from the jet fuel smell that was coming in & we're not allowed to hit the restroom. Already looking forward to being off the plane 😥

🔥 Hot tip: Use Touch ID for sudo password. Edit /etc/pam.d/sudo to include `auth sufficient pam_tid.so` at the top. If use VSCode it'll ask you if you want to save a locked file. Select override and type in your password.
You can now use Touch ID to verify sudo!
After years of freelancing, receiving varying levels of love/hate despite similar deliverables/reqs.. I realized I didn't have to suffer to meet unreasonable expectations.. This was a revelation for me. – at Manhattan, NY
Over the years, the things I needed to know to succeed, I chose to learn. There's still lots I don't know that I can learn to make things better for me and others. I will continue learning and teaching as I am able. – at Manhattan, NY

Like cartoons or comics are used to represent humanity and all our quirks, despite them lacking internal organs or blood, because those things aren’t essential to explaining or analysing it. Similarly a domain model removes the bits that aren’t relevant to the analysis at hand.

Holly (@lifeofablindgrl) talks us through the inaccessible web elements she comes across every day as a blind screen reader user.
And how you can make them more accessible... 👩🦯✅

@snopes I think this page has some unclear phrasing under the "What's False" section
snopes.com/fact-check/mail-i…
Under "What's False" it says:
"All types of voter fraud in U.S. elections is minuscule.."
I think that's meant as a true statement preceeding the false "claim [that] mail-in voting 'substantially' increases the risk of fraud."
It reads as though the 1st sentence is false.
