And one final add for those suffering in western NC- do not get @USAA insurance.

[Catherine Louis @catherinelouis]

Dear @USAA, this is my last attempt since filing a claim in October to appeal to your sense of doing the right thing. My generator was replaced. It was not damaged from flood waters rising, but it was damaged from a week of sideways rain and high winds. Please help.

[Catherine Louis @catherinelouis]

@USAA and I apologize for pinging here, however dealing with your claims portal is like dealing with a black hole. I seem to only hear back when I ping you here.

[Catherine Louis @catherinelouis]

@USAA the claims manager said she needed proof, so I gave her the licensed generac repairman’s number to contact him directly. She said there were no photos of it, yet I uploaded photos of the generator when I filed.

[Catherine Louis @catherinelouis]

Been a customer of @usaa for over 30 years. Used to love their service. Now, since Helene, and the back and forth with claims (and nothing happening) I have only regrets.

@networkservice Everyone I know at this conference who was flying Delta ended up coming in on a different airline.

What is your “emotional runway”?

[Steph Mui @stephmui]

founders and investors obsess over cash runway, but a founder friend recently brought up the idea of 'emotional runway' and i can't get it out of my head

running out of money kills lots of companies, but i think not enough people talk about how running out of willpower kills just as many

I want to tell you something:

@AlyssaM_InfoSec never intended to be a role model. She was just trying to make her way through the world. And she did both. Spectacularly.

@JackRhysider never meant to start a movement. He was just trying to make the type of podcast he himself would listen to.

@Jun34u_sec never set out to start a revolution around training and awareness. She was just hoping to get better at communicating with others.

@HackingDave never set out to be a role model, or a conference organizer, or an inspiration to over 100,000 people.

@InfoSecSherpa didn’t intend to become a role model and inspiration to those who live in the intersection of library science and infosec. As a matter of fact, that intersection didn’t even exist until she showed us that it should. And we owe her for that.

@jaysonstreet never meant to inspire people in over 45 countries to become better human beings. He was just just trying to survive. And to be kind.

@IanColdwater never strived to be a social media celebrity. They just wanted to hack shit. And they were so damm good at it that they became a social media celebrity.

@Blenster wasn’t trying to show us a better way to live. He was just showing us how he lives.

@medus4_cdc never intended to be part of the biggest communication revolution of the century. She was just trying to help her fellow hackers.

I could go on and on. But my point is this:

Whatever you are doing, do more of it. Because you might not just be breaking the rules. You might be rewriting them.

Hack the fucking planet.

Stunned. She will be horribly missed.
