@TractorSupply I'm sad to see this. I've enjoyed shopping at Tractor Supply in the past, but no more.

@MyCCITweets Please pass along to management that they need to have outage maps on the website again, along with outage updates. Even if the update is "we're working on it, no ETA", that gives people the information they need. Otherwise all we can do is sit here and be angry.

@lindaholmes Looks a bit like a sweat bee. We have a couple varieties in my area.

@GergelyOrosz One of my vendors wants a 30 minute call every quarter to "make sure we're getting the most of out of the product". I keep having to find new ways to say "you just aren't that important to me".

@alexobytweets Competitors have the prices 10 minutes after the sales rep does.

@bunsenbernerbmd My dog and I were walking to the park to play. I dropped the ball and it went flying. The dog went flying after it. I didn't drop the leash in time and apparently I can't fly.

Pre-cell phone days -- got to round up my dog and walk home on a broken ankle.

@ZeroFox_08 Maybe take "human rights" out of your bio if you're going to post bigoted tweets.

@MikeIsaac I love Pt Isabel!

@AgnesCallard Too much of what's available is from incredibly poor quality fabric, cheaply made, and doesn't fit real bodies well. I've resorted to making a lot of my own clothes, but that's not a viable option for most folks.

@GammaCounter I thought I did but I see I missed a minus sign. 😞

@markrussinovich @SwiftOnSecurity Ignoring that MS is involved with ChatGPT and copilot (and therefore you probably benefit from promoting them), are you using this more for boilerplate or for difficult problems? My experience is they are pretty bad for anything you couldn't just hand off to a contractor.

I'm a firm believer in lazy composting (roughly layer a pile, leave it alone). The results take longer but are just as good. More folks would try composting if they knew it could be easy.

Deep litter chicken bedding - look what’s just a few inches below the surface! This is *before* I’ve done any work to further compost it - my only inputs have been ~18 months of time (during about 10 of which chickens lived here) and a few bales of straw

@bunsenbernerbmd Sometimes I'm saying "Don't even THINK about it, buster"

@GergelyOrosz Have also had this in the US. Postal Service scans as delivered, it's not in my locked box. USPS won't investigate because of scan, sender can't make insurance claim.

Anthropology NEWS: Scientists conclude the end of the Aztec calendar was calculated to correspond with the expiration of their web certificate.

First you’re too young and inexperienced. Then you’re “difficult to manage.” I wrote about the depressing prevalence of gendered ageism at work for @thisisinsider: https://t.co/2twEwqE5PO

@mpderosier He was an alcoholic who couldn't keep a job, so his opinion wouldn't matter much to me.
