@MarcusHouse @vkohli77n I haven't seen anyone mention the debris that was visible coming off. The loss of a few heat shield tiles near the nose could have resulted in the RUD. What do you think?

I just donated to @ripmedicaldebt and abolished $100 in medical debt for every $1 I donated. Spread the word and give today https://t.co/MpEziBycTH

Hey @Wegmans. It's bad enough that every apple has to have a little plastic barcode sticker on it. But does every organic apple really need an extra large plastic "Organic" sticker, too? The word "organic" on the small sticker isn't enough? More plastic waste for the ocean. Sigh.

@elonmusk Can we get a way to trigger the Light Show from the phone app? On Halloween, I want to be able to start the Light Show from my porch as people walk by. I haven't been able to figure out a way to do that. Thanks in advance if anyone else can tell me how.

Mic drop.

I am really tired of text messages from political candidates begging for money. I will NEVER respond to one, even if I like the person. Wouldn't trust those links anyway. They could be phony or going to the candidate's opponent! Really dreading the coming flood for the midterms.

@DemocraticDaisy @chipfranklin Hmmm. The President of Ukraine is an ex comedian, and he turned out to be a pretty good choice. I'm just saying.

@SenSanders Bernie - We need a law that says if any US taxpayer funds went into the development of a drug, the maker can't charge more for that drug in the US than they charge in any other first-world country.

[Barney Stone @barneystone]

I'm all for supporting the Post Office, but c'mon Environmental Defense Fund, how many trees are you destroying to send mailings with whole packs of Save the Butterfly notecards that nobody is ever going to use? There's got to be a better way to defend the environment!

[Barney Stone @barneystone]

@SenSanders Was any American taxpayer money used in the research and development of that inhaler? If so, there should be a law that they cannot charge more for it in America than in any other developed country.

[Barney Stone @barneystone]

@SenSanders We need a law that says if any US taxpayer money went into the development of a drug, the manufacturer cannot charge more for that drug in the US than they do in any other industrialized country.

@engineers_feed The triangle with the number that would tell you if something is recyclable, if only your could read it without a microscope.

@thesheetztweetz A billion $ and ANOTHER 4 years (on top of whatever time has already been spent) to design, build and test spacesuits. In an age of rapid prototyping with 3D printers and supercomputers. That's insane.

[Barney Stone @barneystone]

All I can say is, WOW!

[Barney Stone @barneystone]

Got a whole large envelope full of pictures, postcards, envelopes, $ request, etc. from @EnvDefenseFund. What a waste! I'm all for supporting the Post Office, but this is a ridiculous way to try to defend the environment! 1,000s of pieces going straight to the recycle bin. Sigh.

Minimum wage:
🇩🇰Denmark: $22/hr
🇦🇺Australia: $12.14/hr
🇺🇸United States: $7.25/hr

Price of a Big Mac:
🍔Denmark: $5.93
🍔Australia: $4.30
🍔United States: $5.66

@McDonalds can afford to pay its workers a living wage. Don’t believe the propaganda.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

In Denmark, the average worker in McDonald's makes $22 an hour, receives 6 weeks of paid vacation, 1 year of paid family leave, life insurance and a pension. Yes. If McDonald's workers in Denmark can have a decent standard of living, we can do it in the U.S. #McDonaldsStrike

@paul_keith_0907 @NateBigStone @Model3Owners @elonmusk I've used it frequently on 2 lane back country roads. Of course, you do have to pay attention and occasionally take control, but it does work remarkably well, and most of the time.

[Barney Stone @barneystone]

@elonmusk Pulling that bow across the violin's strings would probably be a lot different in zero (well, micro to be exact) gravity. I wonder how much of an adjustment it would require.

[Barney Stone @barneystone]

@nickhouldsworth @PayPal 5 minutes? If only! I've been waiting over 5 hours for a simple activity report. How the heck does a huge operation like @PayPal have a basic operation that is so dysfunctional, and has been that way for years? Inexcusable. Can't someone at PayPal take some initiative and fix it?
