@EnelClientesCO El barrio El Castillo también está sin luz. ¿Cuál es el tiempo estimado para el restablecimiento del servicio?

[Nicolás Salcedo @nsalcedop]

The staff was taking the fan off of the frier just minutes before so my guess is it is from there.
I also waited 5-7 other orders to be served before mine, despite these clients arriving after me
And they forgot the spicy mayo with the sweet potatoes
All a dangerous mess

@AWCanada I was today Sunday Feb 25 at 3:45 PM for dine in at que store close to UBC in Vancouver. 5778 University Blvd, Vancouver, BC V6T 1K6
The service at this store is disastrous. A screw was left in my bag of sweet potato fries!!! See photo

Wow very frustrating phone call to @Apple store to check on laptops in store

TLDR: only info he know is I’m a woman so I don’t need an advanced computer! #newPI 🤯😞

Me: What’s the diff between the Pro and Max chips? I think I need the Max.
A: No it’s for advanced users.

Happy to share the first paper of my PhD! 💥 we examine the post-capture longevity of wild-caught populations of Ae.albopictus to assess both the influence of environmental factors and individual frailty on longevity. Check it! 👇🏻 https://t.co/JgdaSdkrGI

Our lab's first preprint is up!

We identify a trojan horse RNA virus, A. odysseus, hiding in the human-infecting parasite, T. gondii. A crazy story; this virus could explain why the 1994 Victoria, BC toxoplasmosis outbreak was so hypervirulent.
