The whole purpose of unsubscribing from marketing emails is so that I DON'T get marketing emails... apparently @Citibank and @AmericanAir think I want marketing emails (sent as transactional email) to get me to re-subscribe to their marketing emails?!?!

@honeycombio Friday deploys: All the things! :) Well, not quite... we have some deploys that'll wait until Monday, but we had 7 other deploys that have already gone out today. We don't have a hard and fast rule in either direction - it's up to the teams/devs to make a decision for each deploy

@Humanize911 "pick up <aaaaa chooooo>... pickup at noon"

@RedDeer911 I’ll admit, I had to Google that card number… I still remember the more common ones though. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that time in my life, or the people! Y’all are amazing!!!

@mattstratton Data mining?

@LauraMDMaguire @nora_js Gotta mention @gitlab docs… it’s all open source, they accept and merge MRs quickly, link at the bottom of every page to submit a quick fix, and the clarity of which features are in which product tier (with version info if a feature changed tiers). :chefskiss:

On today’s #TransDayOfVisibility you can join me in being horrified that in some states firing someone for being trans is perfectly legal.

@QuinnyPig @awscloud If you’re already tagging S3 buckets with a Name tag (so that billing by bucket is less difficult), and you have consolidated billing, the Cost Explorer would be my choice… but I also realize that’s a lot of ifs. 🤷‍♀️

@RedDeer911 Is that a shiny new Centre I see?! ✨✨✨

@martinisoft @github Gitlab Runner can run locally, or even just a single job from your yaml. I’d count GitLab CI as a major service these days.

@mattbasta Have your lawyer send them a letter?

@QuinnyPig Nobody will ever want to be logged into the Console of multiple accounts at the same time.

With #Christmas around the corner, you may give or receive new cell phones. Please do not give your old, unregistered phone to a child to play with. Just because you don't have a cell plan on it, it can still call 911!

@RhysRhaven It’s really nice for NAS stuff.

[Humanizing the Headset @Humanize911]

A rare Q-word night in #dispatch:

Us: engaged in conversation

Outside: nothing

Us: Let's order Chinese!

Outside: nothing

*The MOMENT food arrives*

Outside: bombs are flying, people are dying, and everything is on fire.
