After 45 days of "investigation" where the luggage was always with me (a $3500 camera and $1000 lens missing), you claim that there was no 'pilferage', so - bad luck you can't do anything. This is how you treat first class passengers!

@emirates @EmiratesSupport it is shameful that after 45 days of investigating my USD 3000+ camera missing from inside our checked-in baggage on a First Class flight, you come back and say you can't do anything about it. My camera is lost, I have no recourse, this is a dead end.

Is it just me, or do you also start to remember the number of unread emails in your inbox and mentally compare against that to detect new email? e.g. my gmail has 2347 unread emails, and that's been the steady state recently. When it hits 2348, I've got mail. Is this weird?

@markdcramer Good question. I have only tried snacks like popcorn and potato chips. You know, the healthy stuff.

Eating while wearing VR glassed an immersed in a different world is a kind of cognitive dissonance I haven't experienced before. Have you tried?

8-hours of sleep is totally overrated! Also, totally unrelated, my rating system is poorly calibrated! How many X-ated words are there in this tweet?

TIL -- 'Didi' in Bengali (my native language) means 'Older sister', and it also means 'Younger brother' in Mandarin. How did that happen? Is there any science that even partially explains this?
