A work in progress... interested in scale up phase, ex-founder; a bottomlessmug for tech businesses, gadgets, board games, and Arsenal.

@dharmesh Tried to signup to secondbrain(dot)com, but the confirm your email link redirected me to localhost. FYI. Curious to check it out.

I love all the boring boring arsenal punditry. Yes they're hard to watch esp w/o Saka, Ode, Timber... but in CL we forget the best Arsenal team just got the job done.
2005-06: Made finals w/ 8W, 3D, 2L, scoring 19 conceding 4. 3 KO wins - scored 4, conceded 0. #arsenal #coyg

@duCares forced to call you out publicly since I can't seem to reach a single agent because of your wonderful new AI chat bot and Phone IVR. How does a customer get any help? When my contract is running over there is no shortage of spamming calls. Send me a DM and try to help me.

[Joule Sullivan / The Sartorial Shooter @SartorialShootr]

To those in Dubai DMing me who are concerned, relax, yes this is an escalation - and whilst it is very ‘headline worthy’ it is in fact highly unlikely to impact day to day personnel security / safety levels for you and your family here.

I recommend that you:

Firstly and most importantly - monitor official channels like UAE Ministry of Interior, National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA), Dubai Police, WAM (Emirates News Agency) via their websites or X pages, for official security / safety advice.

Keep in mind western mainstream media makes money from clicks - not from truth or giving balanced assessments - they use fear to get attention and hence advertiser revenue. Much better to rely on official channels for balanced updates.

Postpone any travel plans until the situation stabilises.

Avoid military facilities of any type.

Contact family outside of the country to reassure them that you are fine, they are likely concerned due to western media fear mongering.

——-

I’ve assessed conflicts and geopolitical risk in the region for decades, yes this is an escalation but no, there is no need for concern or leaving the country.

As a career security professional - with near 20 years working across the Middle East and an MSc in Risk - I’m still MUCH more comfortable having my family living in Dubai than in most major western cities.

@shanaka86 Lol. I live in Dubai. Every clickbait hungry idiot on X is hoping they can get some visibility. A bunch of missiles flew overhead towards Qatar and Doha. Some debris landed unfortunately. Dubai is safe.

But thanks Aussie man for making this a war zone. Clowns!

[Ananth @bottomlessmug]

@BRICSinfo Lot of people who don’t live in Dubai extrapolating a lot. It’s still safe for now. But a lot of missles flying overhead towards US bases in Qatar and Bahrain being intercepted and debris fell a few times. That’s causing some of this. I live in Dubai.

[Ananth @bottomlessmug]

Sad. @claudeai has become like @Airbnb and other big Cos I hated for their lack of support. Send msg into ether and hope universe responds. Claude - talk to bot.. Bot - sorry, can't solve, need more money, conversation over. @amazon rocks for support.

[Ananth @bottomlessmug]

I love @CareemUAE app when it tries fun things. they beat the clock by 7 mins, by delaying the initial delivery time provided by 30 mins. What a win. Hope the team’s celebrating

[Ananth @bottomlessmug]

Also, automation is amateurish. Transcript - Male voice says "Hi I'm Sarah calling from Binance; pause for a moment; I want to inform you about a conference" 🤦‍♂️. If you want to spam, get it right.

[Ananth @bottomlessmug]

Hey @binance, your automated call bot from a KS number is spamming me. I get 7 calls a day since last week about a stupid conference, and though I have blocked the number, @ThreeUK allows it to leave a VM; 7 VMs a day. STOP!!!

[Ananth @bottomlessmug]

Wow.. how bad is web and app usability for @IndiGo6E? Check-in link on website header goes to how to page without actual check in option. 🤦‍♂️ i can't log into app ever and purchase flow on web was broken so bought tik on cleartrip. Low cost doesn't need to be low experience.

[Ananth @bottomlessmug]

Is this intentional @careem @CareemUAE? Allowing on 4 star and above rating. Anything below and the continue button doesn’t work even if I provide detailed feedback. Feel like you’re scamming the system.

[Ananth @bottomlessmug]

@WioBank been messaging your WhatsApp inbox. No response. Can your care team please respond to my WA msgs soon?

[Ananth @bottomlessmug]

@IndiGo6E your booking experience is so bad. Everytime I book, I’m filled with regret that I have to spend many more hours chasing you for confirmation etc. just booked another flight on @airindia simultaneously and am sorted for that flight.

[Ananth @bottomlessmug]

@eDreams do you have chat support to help me book a flight? I don’t want to download the app, which seems to be the answer for everything.

[Ananth @bottomlessmug]

@IndiGo6E - need help with making a booking. How do I connect with someone over chat? No response on your office WhatsApp for business as always.

[Ananth @bottomlessmug]

@VietjetairCom sitting on the tarmac of a delayed flight listening to a 120 secs of a shitty looping pop song. Stop being cheap and get a playlist or just keep it silent. This is torture.

[Ananth @bottomlessmug]

@eladgil 😂😂 on a site where verification is paid for and populated by bots. And you and stop the steal crew complain about a proven 2020 secure election result.

Man..Partisanship is killing your credibility. Atleast make sensible arguments.

[Ananth @bottomlessmug]

He was a key part of our shift from incredibly average to exciting club with a positive outlook. Thanks Edu. Clearly the club were planning for this with James King's return.

Hope this doesn't become a David Dein moment, when Arteta becomes too strong but indecisive like Wenger

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

Club Statement: Edu Gaspar

[Ananth @bottomlessmug]

Another 3 game winless streak for @Arsenal. Wannabe champions need to quickly rebound from “bad days in the office”. 3 games winless streak against Man115City and you’re toast.

This one’s on @m8arteta. We’ve played without Odegaard for over a month. We should’ve setup better.
