Bennet Yee: @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] for math, general, security. E pluribus unum

I mostly kvetch here.

@united at their web site (which also had problems), it would have saved some time and not increased my blood pressure as much. if any of my former students are at all involved in code/designs like this, i'd be tempted to try to retroactively fail them....

[@[email protected] 💉💉💉💉💉 @bennetyee]

Extremely annoyed at @united -- text message says i can check in, but cannot check-in w/ partner airline via app, so check-in via counter at airport or united website. united web site log-in is broken periodically, and is currently broken. poorly maintained, but app not replacem

[@[email protected] 💉💉💉💉💉 @bennetyee]

@united ... and all it told me was that i had to check in at the partner airline website, and here's there confirmation number (which i already had from the phone app). so the whole thing was a huge waste of time. if the initial text message had just said, use the other-airline code...

@lcamtuf some eels are protandrous while others are protogynous hermaphrodites. electric ones aren't, but they support their transisters.

if America is a melting pot, what happens when you add ICE to it?

Fertility rate isn't measured in percentages like this. Understanding science and math is apparently also on the decline.

[Joe Rogan Podcast News @joeroganhq]

RFK Jr: "When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%. The amount of fertility you need to keep your population is 2.1%. We are below replacement. That is a national security threat to our country."

hold music gets rather stale after ... checking ... 48 minutes. @AlaskaAir maybe at least rotate through some other bland tunes instead of the one thing over and over and over. oh, more humans would be nice too.

The @Toyota app is so funny. Lost my car. Actually, it hasn't been able to find my car for years now, but a recent update has it complaining about it in a notification. No remote climate start (worked ~one glorious summer), no range estimate (used to work, broken now).

American insued @AmericanExpress are no good for Oslo Amex lounge access. Only those issued in Scandinavian banks are accepted. It's like, why did we get the card again?

[@[email protected] 💉💉💉💉💉 @bennetyee]

to be fair, it looks like chase called me before locking my account. once. while i was asleep and phone wouldn't ring.

[@[email protected] 💉💉💉💉💉 @bennetyee]

currently pissed at @Chase for blocking my account for daring to xfer money to somewhere i've done so before. requiring waiting 15 minutes to get into a second phone queue. "we appreciate the opportunity to serve you" but not, you know, actually serving you.

[@[email protected] 💉💉💉💉💉 @bennetyee]

@Chase total 45 minutes to resolve. !@#$ fraud model w/ too many false positives.

[Basil🧡 @LinkofSunshine]

Genuinely the exact move you would make if you were deliberately trying to destroy America

[@[email protected] 💉💉💉💉💉 @bennetyee]

@USPS @Chase @BankofAmerica BoA blames @Chase . Chase blames @BankofAmerica for not accepting electronic payments. Oh, on the phone w/ 4 different CSRs at Chase, getting quite the runaround.

Really pisses me off.

Intentionally unreliable distributed systems.

[@[email protected] 💉💉💉💉💉 @bennetyee]

My bill pay via @Chase messed up. Apparently a check was sent and returned. The CSR answered quickly and was nice. I wanted to kick the issue up. Transferred to another queue to talk to an account specialist. 20 minute wait. "We care" hold verbiage. Yeah.

[@[email protected] 💉💉💉💉💉 @bennetyee]

Payments from a bank to a credit card not-their-own shouldn't require paper checks in this day and age. Esp with the current state of @USPS .

Seriously considering not doing business with @Chase and @BankofAmerica any more.
