Ordered some retro console gaming stuff from Ukraine. Shipment tracking ReCaptcha from UKRPOSHTA was almost spot on. Just missing some tanks.
Please don’t buy anything from or back any kickstarter/indiegogo’s from @Hyper. One of my chargers melted. Only an iPhone and Apple Watch plugged in. Others have had this issue over the last year and they don’t really care. kickstarter.com/projects/hyp…
Usually friends take one another to nice restaurants. Good restaurants. You are not a good friend if you take them to Denny’s. (I say this as someone who took @PeterSmallbone to White Castle on the LV strip)
So I tried to think of the most stereotypical American breakfast place I could take @chrismevans to while we are both in the Bay Area… so I took him to a sketchy Denny’s this morning.
Just reflecting... anyone ever remember when people used to complain that the FDA was too bureaucratic and took too long to approve drugs? But now they're not doing enough due diligence...
Loved the @cluetrain Manifesto reference and Deirdré's start with communities back in the early 90's.

Not the greatest experience with @flumewater. Love the device but sensor died after having it for less than two years due to corrosion. Warranty is 1yr and best option given is to buy a discounted gen 2. Salty for a $200 device.
Dear nurses, "Don't mess with Texas." Also employers who self-insure, can you add an unvaxxed surcharge to our health insurance so we don't pay for unvaxxed like the smoker surcharge?
Fully vaccinated at the @r00t0wns party this year. Smaller group this year and missed those that didn’t come but hopefully we’ll see more people back next year. Can’t believe I’ve known many of these people for almost 30 years.
