@PicturesFoIder His name is Arnold and he makes beautiful paper flowers that he lets go strictly for donations. When my wife was in a coma I had him make her one so it would be the first thing that she saw when she awoke. She died not long after that and I buried her remains with that flower.

@LifeIsGood787 @LinusEkenstam It's the cockpit of the space shuttle Columbia.

@AAA_Travel I know I inflation has taken a toll on us all but isn't this a bit much?

@ModCuisine There's a food cart in Portland serving these up. https://t.co/G0aBinFtej

@ossia I didn't know about this. Count one more!

@thecaitcode No, I had some terrible things done to me by my previous employer and the worst of it was pure malice. The only person to thank for working to improve my own life is myself.

@danieldibswe I agree a high level understanding is necessary to utilize cloud services but a user doesn't have to know much about dhcp leasing or switch configuration. I think something like Network+ would suffice but a CCNA level would be overkill for certs.

Today marks two months since I started at #AWS fixing and maintaining the #cloud infrastructure. It's been challenging but I've met it head on working harder than I ever have in my life. It's been absolutely rewarding to be in an industry of unlimited growth.

@colbyfayock I just picked up a @StumpMattress from @mattresslot
in Portland. It's the nicest mattress I've ever owned and it was made in Washington state. They give 100 days to try it out.

@jeffbarr RMA full host?

@cloudbart @awscloud I'm not going to mind that part as much as I am with the 300 mile move I'm about to make to be next to the DC.

@BrickVoid @TrentTelenko @typesfast @man_integrated @fortisanalysis @mercoglianos Trains are very long and there are only so many places to put them. I worked as a train dispatcher in California for a time we had to contend with mixed priority traffic and passenger trains which take precedence. Intermodal is one piece of the pie.

@camiinthisthang I held her hand the entire night before she was taken off of life support.

@ModCuisine @RazzaNJ That's real solid advice when working with thinner pizzas especially. Too heavy of a pizza when trying to launch into something like an Ooni oven makes quite a mess.

@FerrariTyrius @neilstrauss Your own “natural immune system” is what vaccines are used on to create antibodies resistant to the disease in question. Polio and smallpox did not go away on their own.

It is not that we have a short space of time, but that we waste much of it. Life is long enough, and it has been given in sufficiently generous measure to allow the accomplishment of the very greatest things if the whole of it is well invested. -Seneca the Younger

@aviflombaum @WeWork @FlatironSchool @learn_co @2Uinc I think they had to sell as many assets as they could when their IPO imploded. The company had a shaky foundation but I do miss the Portland Custom House. They did an amazing job to that building and it was energetic with events.
