I think Call Screen by @Google is probably the best @Android feature to come out recently

Gesture navigation? That's pretty cool

Systemwide Darkmode? Nice, but not lifechanging

Ability to screen the non-stop spam calls Canadians face everyday? Now we're talking

First impression of Stadia (playing Tomb Raider since Destiny is down): Very solid & very impressive! Been streaming for 4+ hours & only had two short instances of lag. Felt like I was playing off a physical console! Good work @GoogleStadia team

@DnDBeyond Are there any plans to add homebrew vehicles into dndbeyond? Would love to expand on the ships from saltmarsh!

If you love something, let it go. Unless your spouse is telling you to let go of your favorite sweatpants from 15 years ago. Then you fight for those sweatpants.

@Melly0521 That's awesome! Thanks for the encouragement; it truly seems like such a huge need that so few people are willing to risk. One more question for you (if you don't mind); what were some of the challenges/things you learned along the way?

Being a good manager is not rocket science.

-Hold frequent 1-on-1s with direct reports
-Make connections across departments
-Don't expect people to work nights and weekends
-Don't make people spend 27 hours a week in bloated meetings

@Melly0521 @SeanAstin It's something I'm thinking about alot rn - my heart has always been to help kids & ik fostering/adoption has a huge impact on kids lives. But it's a big decision to even think about... Do you have any tips/important things you learned along the way or resources you'd recommend?

[Darien Chaffart @darienchaffart]

@Coady4theColts @Netflix_CA @netflix @instantfamily Whoa this movie looks awesome! Thanks for the recommendation - gonna go rent it now

Pretty cool of @Chase to forgive a bunch of Canadians Credit debt! Super impressed by a company that would be willing to lose out on some money in order to simplify other's lives

@garyexplains @AndroidAuth Country: Canada
Carrier: Koodo (subsidiary of Telus)
Plan Cost: $45 per month CAD
Data: 2gb

What's crazy is I'm grandfathered into this plan, it's not even available anymore (everything seems to be more expensive now)

People are informed when they learn from you but empowered when they learn with you.

Teach as an instructor and people believe in you. Teach as a student and they believe in themselves.

I’ve been reminding myself of these three points each morning and I have seen such a difference in how my day goes and I have seen an improvement in my mental health! I highly recommend asking yourself these three questions/points as you wake up before checking your phone

The evolution of self-esteem in a career:

Phase 1: I am not important

Phase 2: I am important

Phase 3: I want to work on something important

The sooner you get to phase 3, the more success you achieve and the more impact you have. —@AdamMGrant
