@danidonovan Are there any actual listings from you on Amazon? What I got shipped from Ireland and is really thin pages and lots of typos.

[Jack Mitchell @JackM4]

@domorebemoreNOW @danidonovan There are definitely a bunch of listings for under half the price on Dani's website -- in fact I don't see any listings that I think are legitimate. I just got a copy from https://t.co/uFvE1qMAtf based on an ad on either facebook or instagram, and it is definitely a knockoff.

It does leave me to wonder whether a court would find the collecting IMEI would be an unreasonable search since it can be gotten without unlocking the phone.

[Jack Mitchell @JackM4]

@FirewallDragons re-the story about police collecting IMEI from phones by convincing people to make calls. At least with an iPhone, you can get that information by typing *#06# on the emergency call keypad without unlocking….

@NC_By_Train @Amtrak For that matter, it also does the same thing to folks in Salisbury and High Point that might want to travel to Charlotte for work and avoid all that traffic. The morning train won't even stop there on its way to Charlotte!!

[Jack Mitchell @JackM4]

@NC_By_Train The new schedule leaves commuters between Greensboro and the triangle back in that traffic. We can't leave work 45 minutes early to catch a 3:55 train nor does it make sense to wait for the next train until almost 7. Thanks for nothing @Amtrak and @NC_By_Train.

@RhiannonGiddens This has me thinking about the fun that could be had playing with the boundary between biscuit and scone. What makes a Bojangles bo berry biscuit a biscuit and not a scone? What makes an extremely moist and flaky scone scone and not a biscuit?

@planetmoney Definitely consider releasing Inflation to Bandcamp as well as to the other streaming sites. An episode comparing business models between the Spotify as of the world and Bandcamp would be wonderful!

@FirewallDragons Any chance of getting chapters in the news episode of the podcast? I’ve requested it on a couple of different surveys, and had hoped to see them by now. I love the podcast but it would be wonderful to be able to pick the stories that I’m esp interested in

@therufs When we did it in C a while back and you were singing tenor, wasn't it verging on too low?

[Jack Mitchell @JackM4]

@planetmoney Remember this brilliant drug ad parody? https://t.co/47rAHPSZQ3

@therufs What author?

[Jack Mitchell @JackM4]

@hreynolds_fungi So cool! Naked scientist is a fabulous podcast.

@TeamViewer @TeamViewer it’s seriously shady business practice to jump the price from around $300 to $800 on a “renewal“ with no notification, and then to refuse to remove an add on that I had reported multiple issues with (and which more than tripled in price for this renewal.)

[Jack Mitchell @JackM4]

Got a good discount from @TeamViewer? After that discount expired, annual cost for mobile support jumped 4x. The renewal notice included no information about the new price. And once I was billed, I have been told that they cannot remove it until next year! #shadybusiness

There, I fixed it.

18,000 people in America died of COVID19 in May. Only 150 of those deaths were of vaccinated people. 17,850 were preventable deaths of unvaccinated people

That's a 99.2% life saving efficiency

Vaccines work. It is immensely foolish & dangerous to argue otherwise. #GetVaccinated

Trying out @theTunnelBear so I can browse privately from my ISP and on the road. https://t.co/e4nEwVDct6 Please send my free gig of data!

@fraturrisi 1) phone with headphones, via chrome cast plugged into my stereo or powered speakers 2) high bitrate mp3 or flac - and recently almost always purchased that way. We just don’t have space for more CDs. 3) generally whole albums, listened to as albums 4) very rarely.

[Jack Mitchell @JackM4]

@therufs Halved the icing recipe too, did you?
