@kerrizor My grandmother had a kumquat tree! Used to gorge myself sick. Still my answer to any trivia question about semi-obscure citrus, even when I know it’s wrong.

@TomNissley @KristiCCoulter I finally put down Knotwords and now I have to do this. Sigh. 18 more to go today.

@jamies @iseff Not sure on the methodology here - are these only new loans? If not, couldn’t these be adjustable rate loans moving up?

@paulrbrown pretty sure I just won our bet.

@kurtismcc @EmberFirehair @Ghostcrawler It was a hell of a speech and it was a hell of a year, and impromptu was always about peaking at the right time. I remember when that event finally clicked for you (and for me) and we made it ours instead of the standard formula.

@mcscary I’m so sorry, Mike. Hope it’s just the beginning of a better year (for you and for all of us).

@bscholl 3/ Smaller physical pieces, many more of them, more software driving it, more commoditized hardware -> faster upgradeability. There’s a lot of hand-waving there, but it feels right in direction.

@bscholl 2/ You want to change out a Crisplant, or some of the big hardware down the line? You’re shutting down the warehouse for however long and you’re making a massive one-time capital investment that’s legacy the moment you’ve signed the PO.

To fight Zoom fatigue, give people the freedom to turn their cameras off.

New experiment: videos off reduces exhaustion and boosts engagement—especially for women and newcomers.

Cameras off doesn't reflect disengagement. It helps to prevent burnout and promote attention.

@NIAHRecruiting @RoosterPark Thanks Tatiana!

@analyseFooty I missed the email, so thanks for pointing it out - and agreed. We might be running together…

[Scott Ruthfield @scottru]

@analyseFooty I didn’t realize it was back on. I’m in, let’s go.
