The fact that whatever's broken at @SlackHQ immediately causes the app to download ~100M of something can't be helping things.

@yayKM I absolutely would. "I live halfway between Lynchburg and Roanoke in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Southwest Virginia. Not South West Virginia. In Bedford, not in town but out in the county." Also Syracuse is obviously in Greece, not NY.

@Nate_Griffin @alamodrafthouse How does the @Tennessean miss a possessive pronoun error in a tweet?

@CMcCurdyPDX Tesla has learned about cold cuts when we make sandwiches and does the same. This is likely to be a trending cause of fatalities this year.

@RealLeeBruns Thermal fuse might be a culprit, too. I'd probably be zapping myself by disconnecting the motor but plugging it in and testing whether power was getting to the element at all. Can you continuity test from the dial/controller through the heating element?

@RealLeeBruns Maybe a bad relay or a blown track to the relay on the controller board?

Three months ago, quietly @mspartner : "Hey, you need to update a bunch of stuff on your MPN profile following an opaque and baffling process or we won't let you renew." Today: "You need to renew? How dare you! It will be 3 days do-loop every time we reject it." @MicrosoftHelps

@hiyelbaz @msPartner But they've never consulted an end user in the past. Why would they start now?

@kinlane "Hi Kin! We talked last year at [conference you didn't attend] let's connect on LinkedIn to talk about how my [cookie cutter integrator] company can help you with [thing that you have no interest, responsibility, or authority over]. When would be a good time to chat?"

Can't renew Microsoft Partner Subscription because your business (which has been a partner for five years) can't be verified due to a primary contact gmail address instead of an inaccessible O365 hosted domain email address you are unable to renew. @msPartner Stay classy, y'all.

@jurph The only thing that would be worse is if it were actually 91° and they said it was 89°.

Router has perfect SNR and gain and pings to the equipment on the other side of the DSLAM tank 50% of the time and hit >500ms latency, @Verizon knows the links are saturated and @VerizonSupport will do nothing to correct the problem because they can sell more wireless data.

With all the talk about stonks and shorps and rubber hoods remember that 401(k)s are a trick to make the middle class care about the stock market.

@bitfield The only big caveat is that you need to ask yourself the Jurassic Park scientist question. Of course you *can* do it in a shell, but you should always ask yourself if you *should* do it in a shell first.
