@dominos I got an email saying my "piece of the pie rewards" were expiring soon, but when I go to your website, the service is down. I'm getting HTTP 500 responses from the https://t.co/AAKRXXJHGk endpoint. Get your devs cracking, I need my free pizza!

@NCSBE I'm in Mecklenburg, thanks

[Eric Cotner @ericthewizard]

@NCSBE what is going on? I double-checked the address on file, it's 100% correct; and I've been getting other mail as normal... is there any way I can contact you to get this sorted out?

I gave a talk on Markov decision processes a couple months ago and am just now getting around to putting it up on youtube; check it out: https://t.co/eOXZLs8fne

@ATT I have been trying to reach someone who can reverse an erroneous charge on my account... was on the phone for an hour and a half and got transferred to 5 different departments before I just gave up. Very frustrated and would appreciate if you could help me out here.

[Eric Cotner @ericthewizard]

Giving a talk next week about Markov decision processes, the mathematical framework for optimal decision making. Big thanks for @pydatacharlotte for hosting me! The presentation is virtual, so anyone can come; RSVP here: https://t.co/SnrfnlJix4

@Vuthakral @discord Having the same problem! Audio settings are fine (can listen to music/youtube; record sound with my mic), but the web app refuses to send/receive audio across the voice channel. The status is stuck in "RTC Connecting". I'd use the desktop app, but it causes insane lag 🙄 @discord

[Eric Cotner @ericthewizard]

happy to help out!

the android Log API has a method called https://t.co/wjH6y2N2Ik(), which logs a message of the highest severity, and of course it stands for... What a Terrible Failure https://t.co/XrukEIvjHv

also, did I just get friendzoned by a computer?

[Eric Cotner @ericthewizard]

I just asked my Google Assistant if it loved me, and it decided to ask me a series of questions involving unicorns and evil wizards to determine our compatibility, then composed and recited a touching poem about our friendship.

Has technology gone too far?

[PyDataCharlotte @pydatacharlotte]

Lots of Learning, amazing energy @RobHelgeson did a great job. Thanks, everyone, for attending the event. #pydata #pydataclt #uncc #CharlotteNC #python #invoke

@stampede331 @Eden_Eats perhaps a manifestation of Press Poe's law? https://t.co/bxLINpkvke

[Eric Cotner @ericthewizard]

@stampede331 @Eden_Eats I think she's just poking fun at LA culture.

[Eric Cotner @ericthewizard]

So I started a blog, and this is the first post (technically second, but the first one is trash). Skip to the bottom for some cool interactive maps! https://t.co/ukYnhepJV4
