@eBay looks like your member-to-member chat link detection that’s supposed to stop links off eBay, triggers with https://t.co/YYUXhlPgAG links created from your app’s share function!

@duolingo why you taunt me twice?

@CoolerMaster A few years ago, I had an awesome laptop stand made by you, called a JAS Pro. I used it every day and loved it. Then one day I left it at work, the following day the office shut down for Covid, and shortly after I was laid off. Any tips where I can get a new one?

@DevDavido hey - I’m trying to download a file for a1138 from your site but even after completing offers I can’t get the file. Can you help?

[Richard Hopton @RichardHopton]

@Grubhub_Care Perhaps you can help with this? I just want to associate my prime with my existing account, not the new one you created.

[Richard Hopton @RichardHopton]

@Grubhub I followed the flow to sign in with Amazon Prime but it looks like a new account got created rather than linking to my existing account. Can you help?

@British_Airways I seem to be getting the email telling me “ You’ve earned your Avios welcome bonus” every day. Any tips on getting that to stop?

@shanselman I’ve been using the adult money to rebuy old feature & “smart” phones I had growing up. Recently got my hands on a Sony Ericsson P910! That thing was awesome back in the day.

@markrendle I really like the simplemodern ones

@edu_arana Can you keep a CD32 <> 1200 adapter to one side for when the riser is ready. I will order both at the same time to save on shipping cost.

[Richard Hopton @RichardHopton]

@edu_arana Hey - did you ever get the CD32<>1200 accelerator adapter to work? If so will you be selling on your site again?

[Richard Hopton @RichardHopton]

@edu_arana You have a v6 risers too?

[Richard Hopton @RichardHopton]

@edu_arana When can I get hold of one to test? I have a couple recapped CD32s and an icedrake to test with

[Richard Hopton @RichardHopton]

@edu_arana Si you know if it works with icedrake v4 vampire card? How often do you restock them on you site? Are the plans open source?

@Cocoanetics @steveluscher @ctjrock reduce(flatMap([breakfast, lunch, dinner], eatMeal), digestion) => 💩

@rhubarbcustody @davidspiersiii Perhaps if men just pee sitting down out of respect for others… then this wouldn’t be an issue. I wonder if men are more likely to sit down in gender neutral bathrooms… someone should do a study.

@OReillyMedia Just spotted a typo in a book I was reading... Software Architecture: The Hard Parts (Third Release) Page 126, Table 5-18. It has `aa.shared.login` and it should be `ss.shared.login`
Not a biggie, but in case you release a new edition you could change this.

It’s kinda a shame @taylorswift13 and @tkelce can’t enjoy a night out without becoming big news.

@tomasmcguinness There is a bedroom above the garage so thick layer of insulation between the floor/ceiling joists, layer of polythene attached to underside of joists, then the two layers of plasterboard.

[Richard Hopton @RichardHopton]

@tomasmcguinness It was an extension that rebuilt the garage. So net new structure on all but one wall
