@Zwxsh what's wrong with eating chocolate? does it really make a difference?

[Setu Upadhya @setman85]

@pmarca Feels very naive to assume that technology will solve problems. We have technology for food, water and shelter, yet many people don’t have these things.

@parismarx I agree! I listened to his podcast w Lex Fridman (who I like), and Marc is just a rah rah capitalist

@JPMorinChase Is it really that good? Looks like it's too hot to really taste it!

[Setu Upadhya @setman85]

@g_sangiuliano Any thought from Haley?

[Setu Upadhya @setman85]

Great feature from @goodreads. Very fast way to remember books you see in real life (perhaps at a bookstore). Also it’s super fast to see the rating of a book which can be a good factor to make a purchase or not.

Great feature from @GasBuddy!! I really hate it when gas stations don’t have bathrooms.

@Safeway today I clipped a bunch of coupons, but they did not work at checkout in store. The store associate couldn’t help and says they have that issue a lot. The store is on Jackson St in San Francisco. help!
Normally the coupons work for me at the Oakland, CA locations.

@JoeyGhost @petti_mayonaise @EMukumbo Dollar tree is amazing!

[Setu Upadhya @setman85]

@petti_mayonaise @EMukumbo Better quality items last longer but needs, fashions and body sizes change over time. Usually not worth paying way more for longer lasting products.

@letterboxd It shows me I have 0 fb friends on Letterboxd. I don’t think it is working correctly.

@Kristy_Viers Thanks for sharing. I didn't know about braille keyboards before. That is cool. Do you find that easier than Speech to Text?

[Setu Upadhya @setman85]

@nucholibre It’s a good movie bro!

[Setu Upadhya @setman85]

@billdotmu @graciegcunning Clever idea!

[Setu Upadhya @setman85]

@netflix I love the speed control feature in the browser. A lot of things become "interesting enough" at 1.5x speed. Please bring this feature to the Roku app!

[Setu Upadhya @setman85]

@nucholibre oh wow! didn't know about this. very underreported in the news.
appreciate you sharing this. yes I guess it should be expected that crisis becomes an opportunity for corporations to grab $$. truly reprehensible.

@EudesRJ @Square Good point -- signing may not be required

But would love to be able to set the tip on my device and not the shared iPad.
Maybe Square could have a QR code I could can to allow me to set the tip?

[Setu Upadhya @setman85]

@square It would be cool if I could tip/sign on my phone instead of the iPad. I already have my phone out for Apple Pay.

This would be more hygienic. Plus I could decide the tip without the social pressure of having the cashier watch me.
