Dear @CapitalOne Please start using passkeys and allow 2FA on my account. I'm tired of you locking my account because of too many failed login attempts (not by me). Fighting security problems by sacrificing customer convenience is bad business.

Hot take. 🔥

Fahrenheit is the superior temperature scale for reporting weather information. It’s also easier—at least for me—to get a sense of how that feels physically as I step outside. 50°F is easier to grasp than 10°C, but maybe it’s because I’m 🇺🇸.

Celsius and Kelvin are ideal for scientific calculations and that’s about it.

@ColtonWolkins I struggle with the level of 'magic' promoted by Ruby.

@gabecohen @OR13b I'm at the rough conclusion that the cure is worse than the disease. I don't think the LD juice is worth the squeeze.

We need far more publishing of investigation results. Why this wasn't done after the last election is a mystery to me.
