Been on hold with @amazon for so long that I thought "wonder if I could play this hold music by ear", taught myself to play it on the piano, and wrote a little accompaniment. If you're a masochist that loves calling customer service, give me a call. AFTER I GET OFF THE PHONE.

@erparker So tragedy of the commons in nodes and entropy of edges bc those things are networks. Anyway, super interesting.

[Maria Patterson 🇵🇭🇺🇸 @OpenSciPinay]

@erparker The blocker to that seems like cost/pricing of movement, which ppl forget about. Compute + egress make cloud regions, and energy + transmission will make energy "metros" more obvious. Roads + tolls over bridges. No one in a good node wants to pay for network edge infra.

Just learned that this guy from my tiny hometown of Berea, Ohio launched both Pringles as head of Proctor & Gamble and also DARPA as Secretary of Defense so now I feel like I must be destined for greatness.

the pitch clock is an affront to mental health: 1 hour and 57 minutes is not long enough to distract me from the crippling anxiety of being alive

Cool! 🤓

How neat. Researchers claim to have found, at long last, an "einstein" tile - a shape that tiles the plane in a pattern that never repeats. First two authors appear to have no academic affiliations. https://t.co/T4UB6Ei6Lo

@ergatta thanks for the prompt response. sorted it out by holding down the power button for a bit.

[Maria Patterson 🇵🇭🇺🇸 @OpenSciPinay]

@ergatta I try and start a workout, but the workouts aren't starting - the timer doesn't go up, and the ball doesn't appear when I start rowing. Is there someone that can help me with this? Software update?

@aza I know you've been doing cool stuff for ages, but still a wild surprise to see you pop up even in books I'm reading. From "Stolen Focus." Kudos to you and all the best.

@stormchaseguide And over the limit for number of unique cheeses.

As though expense reports weren't bad enough, this already embarrassing dinner receipt from "Mighty Fine Burgers" puts your order modifications on their itemized receipts so now my boss will have to formally approve the 8 add-ons to the burger I stress ate while traveling.
