@patrickc stripe randomly contacted all my customers with scary emails that it will close their accounts and send me emails about closing my business account.

no working together, no questions just this stuff.

and on top, like you have 0 support. what kind of operation is this?

@Zillum @ZohoCalendar Can one of the two way synced google calendars be my default calendar while creating a new event? Or does it have to be one of my zoho calendars ?

[SPIRI @spiritualblues]

@tamas @heyhey There should be a re sync button under settings if this happens.

@dhoesq @jasonfried @heyhey @dhh Most benefits are noticed after using it for a while. Have them forward their current email to hey & send from their current email. That way they can go back to the old way and don’t have to take the plunge. They need to see the volume of emails flowing in to see the difference.

@dhoesq @jasonfried @heyhey @dhh They do a great job of explaining their unique features but that isn’t enough to convince a 60 year old to step out of their comfort zone and try such an unconventional product. They would have to use it for a year to ‘get it’.

@Zbijelic @KianAmeli @heyhey I like how all the all-day events are visible at the same time all the time at the bottom of the calendar. No other calendar does that on mobile.

Enjoy the habits tracking.

And like that reminders flow to the next week if not completed. Sure that’s not unique to just them.

[SPIRI @spiritualblues]

@joshthetechie @heyhey I think they stopped offering this incentive.

@Mr_Munjal @robzolkos @jasonfried and @dhh - 👋 I would love a @heyhey calendar 📅 invite. gaurav AT hey .com

[SPIRI @spiritualblues]

@robzolkos @Mr_Munjal What is the best way to go about and get an invite ?

[SPIRI @spiritualblues]

@myles_cooks Try @Zoho. At least on iPhone it is blazing fast.

@Cloudwatch199 @immigrationgirl @SenKevinCramer Kevin Cramer has been consistently supportive of removal of country cap since he got elected to the Senate.

But to be clear, if you are; a) Indian; b) have an approved EB-2 or EB-3 I-140; c) have a priority date in the 2020s; and d) have a child here on an H-4 visa—you need to start making preparations for the fact that this child will age out. 100 percent certain. Does anyone care?

@travispillow @rmc031 @amandakhurley @heyhey Yes, you can now. https://t.co/dArLEzX7xR

I have trained to be a surgeon for the past 10 years. Today is my last day of that training.

Most of you don't know this, but when I'm not tweeting about stocks & real estate I spend 60+ hours a week doing facial plastic & reconstructive surgery.

My wife and I are moving to our new house in Denver. She's pregnant with our first child. And I'm starting my own solo surgical practice.

There's a lot of change ahead. There's fear that I won't be enough for the people that rely on me. But I like that nothing about the coming years resemble a comfort zone. I know this is precisely what gives me the best shot at continuing to develop and grow.

The harder path is almost always more lush, and more fulfilling.

The July 2023 edition of the #VisaBulletin- a monthly document of the @StateDept summarizing the availability of immigrant visas in various categories- is a contemptuous mockery of India-born immigrants in the skill-based categories. In a span of 30 days, the availability of…

The Gift

When he started drinking socially in 2012, she disagreed.
When he started shouting at her for "unsolicited advice," she kept quiet.
When he started drinking after office hours, she voiced her concerns.
When he started shouting at her in front of the children, she kept quiet.
When he started drinking every day in the morning, too, she shouted at him.
When he started beating her up in the room before bedtime, she kept quiet.
When he started drinking to the level that he vomited blood, she pleaded with him.
When he got better and started drinking again, she asked for help.
When he started beating her up in front of her children, she went silent.
When he started beating her up for no reason, she kept quiet.
When the beatings were prolonged, she made a deal that it had to be behind closed doors, to save her children from trauma.
In the morning, even when soreness got the better of her, she still walked her children to school because he slept in his own vomit someplace else.
His friends duly returned him, sometimes in a blacked-out state.

End of 2018, when I asked him to choose between a loving wife, beautiful children, and bottles of alcohol, in front of every family member who was in my outpatient department, he chose bottles.
End of 2018, my repeated plea for de-addiction went unheard, unconsented.

At the beginning of 2019, he was dragged to a de-addiction center, where he threatened and abused the doctors and nursing staff within two days of his stay, and they let him go because he was violent.

In 2019, when he drank and vomited blood at home in front of his children, he was dragged to the hospital by her.
When I admitted him to the ICU, she asked me for painkillers, and I told her they were dangerous for alcohol-cirrhosis patients.
She kept quiet and then told me it was for her, to calm the bruises he gave her for dragging him to the hospital.
In three days’ time after the severe bleeding, he went into a hepatic coma.
On the fourth day, he developed severe infections that led to multiple organ failure.

On the same day, the family decided he was a burden, both physically, mentally, and financially.
But she pleaded with me to get him better. She would try to beg and borrow, for all her gold and her assets from her home were now used for his treatment over the years.

When the money ran out, her family support broke away, and she was lonely.
She started praying at the hospital chapel because there was nothing she could offer.
She kept quiet.
When I told her each day, that, one by one, an organ was failing, she kept quiet.
When finally, she died on the ventilator after her father consented to a do-not-resuscitate order, she remained silent.

When they took his body away, she remained silent.

Years later, when she met me in my OPD, she got me a box of chocolates.
She thanked me for fighting alongside her.
She thanked me for giving her hope when we both knew we were lying to each other about his survival.
She thanked me because, at times, I remained silent and listened to her.
I do not accept gifts from my patients.
But there are some instances when I do, and remain silent.

Remember what some mothers do and go through.
I am cursed to see this almost everyday.
Today is Mother’s Day, 14th May 2023.

@Altavistagoogle @CordCuttersNews NFL wants you to pay for NFL+ too on top of all this.

Scientist who discovered that hand washing dramatically reduces mortality during child birth was ridiculed by his colleagues and then committed to an insane asylum, where he was beaten and then died 14 days later.

Science knows it doesn't know everything; otherwise, it'd stop…

But just because science doesn't know everything doesn't mean you can fill in the gaps with whatever fairy tale most appeals to you.
