@ARCRaidersGame Re: glitching into locked rooms. Why not put a trigger collider well inside each locked room, kill any player who triggers it, and despawn it when the door is unlocked? Doesn't prevent the glitching, but removes any benefits...

@MBonvoyAssist How can I contact the Westin Playa Bonita for a lost item? The main number asks for Spanish or English, and regardless of which I choose says “sorry you’re having problems, goodbye” and hangs up. The listed reservations number is disconnected.

@SubwayListens Paid $30. Order marked delivered. Nothing here. Can you recommend a sandwich place that will actually deliver, while giving me a refund?

[plambert @plambert]

@SUBWAY so I placed an order for delivery in the subway app, and the DoorDash driver marked it “handed to customer” but never was here. Called subway and person said they’d look and call me back. Meanwhile, can you recommend a sandwich restaurant that delivers here?

Wish you had an Engineer’s title with a Manager’s calendar?

Like solving people problems when everyone thinks the issue is technical?

Dream of cramming a month of onboarding into a few days, over and over again?

Ask your therapist if becoming a Staff Engineer is right for you!

Just realized The Flintstones used dinosaurs for every job except to power cars. Which is the only job we use dinosaurs for.
Imagine getting destroyed by an asteroid and still not being given a fucking break.

Holy. Shit. What a brilliant, horrifying cover.

My friend has never seen the first Top Gun and asked for an explainer. How’d I do? 🤣

Common HomePod interaction of late:

Hey Siri, can you set a timer?
How long?
5 minutes
…Hrm…this is taking a while…I didn’t hear back

HEAR BACK FROM WHOM SIRI? THE TIMER POLICE? MY TIMER BANK? TELL ME.

@AOC This is a fantastic response.

People are asking me why I endorsed the use of "We're Not Gonna Take It" for the Ukrainian people and did not for the anti-maskers. Well, one use is for a righteous battle against oppression; the other is a infantile feet stomping against an inconvenience.

Let's wait for more information. It's entirely possible that Cisco wound up with a $20 billion Splunk bill instead.

Going to bet that grep and spreadsheet are real unsung heroes in this patching marathon.

@AskAmex LoungeBuddy won’t let me enter my flight info, reports the wrong hours for your own lounges, and just isn’t being supported very well. Do you have any recommendations for amother app or service that does what LB used to do?
