Being live on my own TV at home is definitely a dream come true. Photo thanks to my wonderful girlfriend who’s watching at home ❤️

[Nick Looijmans @nilo]

And they thought they had a chance 🇧🇪

@AdamWhitcroft Nice little garage you got going

[Nick Looijmans @nilo]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA 🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪

@proV1rotate @kylesheldon If you’re really such a good team, why not play without Balogun? Show that you can do it without corruption.

Same type of argument.

[Nick Looijmans @nilo]

@__TurdFerguson @kylesheldon You mean Belgium

[Nick Looijmans @nilo]

@ALPsooner @sargeantbennett @AdamCrafton_ @TheAthleticFC @Dan_Sheldon_ We're literally playing you tomorrow.

@DodgerBlue2025 @ScottFriedman3 @FIFAWorldCup Completely irrelevant.

At my client's request I've been using Claude Design more lately. It's cool. It allows for better collaboration and faster shipping. But man... fine tuning a design feels like you're micromanaging a bad junior designer that never gets it quite right.

@tobi @dhh @TDSRacing_live This is what we talked about when we started in 2018! Congrats on making the dream come true!

[Nick Looijmans @nilo]

@Sirupsen Hahahaha, this is my pet peeve as well. Last week my fiance thought it was weird that I was wearing casual sneakers for a quick bike ride to a market. "Wouldn't runners be more comfortable?" How???

[Nick Looijmans @nilo]

@Sirupsen So proud of you dude!

[Nick Looijmans @nilo]

@JesseKazam Agreed. And the 20% XP bonus for Unheard also feels cringe and desperate.

[Nick Looijmans @nilo]

@Multispeedz @wbuxtonofficial @tomcorvid What I hear you saying is that they will run out.

[Nick Looijmans @nilo]

@ouellettejordan @Shopify Absolutely insane. Congrats Jordan!

@flyosity I’ve always thought that Shopify’s hiring at the time was sometimes too rigid. A lot of good talent slipped through the cracks.

[Nick Looijmans @nilo]

@flyosity I’m curious: when was this? When I was at Shopify I would’ve jumped at the opportunity of hiring you. I left in 2021 though.

[Nick Looijmans @nilo]

@_one334 I can imagine. And I also only supercharge a handful of times per year. Home charging at $0.039 per kWh is the real game changer.

Also, my amounts are in Canadian Dollar. So that’s even cheaper than USD 😬

[Nick Looijmans @nilo]

Out of curiosity I plugged my home electricity rates in the Tesla app. I have a “ultra-low overnight” plan from my provider, which targets EV owners. I can’t believe how little I spent on driving that car.

(I drive ~12,000km per year, and use very little Superchargers)
