@ChipotleTweets Your Pepper Chatbot leaves a bit to be desired. I got a credit for our screwed up bowl, but she totally skipped the missing tortilla. And I wanted to say how this is my 2nd screwed up order in a row, which seems like valuable info. No can do.

@KCMO311 Hey, 311, your web submission form won't accept email addresses that end in ".email", which is a valid domain. You need to fix your email parsing rules.

@ctrl4homekit I feel like this MUST be possible but I can’t figure it out: I have accessories that do more than one thing, but only one shows up in the Accessories list. Can I somehow add the features? (Like an outlet that also has a nightlight built in.)

@ripppleapp JavaScript enabled, can log in normally, turned off blockers, etc, etc. Web inspector shows a problem with "X-Content-Type: nosniff". I switched to Brave for default browser and it worked fine. 🤷🏻‍♂️ If I had more time I'd dig more, but I don't….

@ripppleapp Just found Rippple and am already a lifetime subscriber. Love it! Installing on my Mac gave me problems though. I tried restarting Safari and other things to no avail. Other ideas? Looks like Trakt is missing a JavaScript file….

@gruber Regarding iPhone white balancing item colors in the demo room, there's an easy & accurate solution. Carry what's called a "gray card" & take a picture of it in the same lighting. Later you manually set white balance for ALL pictures based on the grey card white balance.

@atpfm Glasses:Use Costco!

High-index -9 or so lenses, transitions, progressive, all the coatings—all at probably half the price or less compared to everywhere else, particularly the $hop at the eye doctor’s.

The quality is great.

@dmoren About halfway through The Nova Incident and I wanted to let you know that I’m very much enjoying it. I’m eager to read my chapter every night, and it often turns into 2 or 3. So you’re really ruining my sleep, Dan!

Please ruin my sleep with more books in the future.

@NetflixFilm Hey, why can’t you do whatever it takes so Netflix stuff shows up on my Apple TV “Up Next” list? Netflix not working sucks and makes me not want to use Netflix.

@atpfm I came into possession of a pickup a few years ago. It’s a 2001 with 100,000 miles & <1,000/year added. Great to have around for hauling brush and whatnot. Dirt cheap to own with its age and miles driven.

Now I can’t fathom why anyone would want a truck with <8’ bed.

[I'm @scrooks! @drthunder]

@atpfm My daughter and I play a game when we’re driving around: show pickup truck or work pickup truck? 95% of the time it’s very obvious.

@binstructions I would like a follow-up to Master of Formalities, please. I will also accept a follow-up to The Authorities.

Provide this and I will think great thoughts about you for a solid 25 seconds and not step on a bug for the rest of the day.

And I’ll buy the book.

@dueapp I have Due from SetApp and from App Store for both Mac and iOS, and am paying for all of them. Is there some reason to use one over the other? Do I need to pay for Mac App Store sub if I have SetApp?

@jsnell My _Expanse_ theory: The producers have a secret deal with Amazon to film the next three books in 10 to 15 years. Let the actors age a little (enhanced by makeup) to reflect the book timeline. That would be kind of cool…

#dreaming

[I'm @scrooks! @drthunder]

@jsnell Okay, watching “First Cow” with my wife tonight, knowing _nothing_ except the title and that you had good things to say about it on Upgrade. We have aligned with you very well in the past - e.g. Sad Spy, Expanse - so we’ll see how it goes. High hopes here!

@dmoren @SciFiNow Chalk up another preorder, from a car somewhere in western Kansas, returning from a loooong 2-week vacation. iPad with cellular, FTW.

@janettereinke John Locke plays guitar and sings a little in Patriot… (Trying to really hook you.)

[I'm @scrooks! @drthunder]

@janettereinke Continuum: Haven't watched.

Lost: Of course. Loved that one to the end.
