@SoundersFC Can ticket holders bring a water bottle in today? Supposed to be 98°F at kickoff, probably hotter in the stadium.

@Fluance I ordered one and it doesnt even fit on my brand new RT-85... the hole in the weight doesn’t fit on the spindle. I even tried swedging it out with an Allen key but it still doesn’t get close to fitting

How to be a good podcast host:

1. Send your big/controversial questions to your guest before the interview.

2. Allow them time to form and verbalize opinions on those issues.

3. Fill the gaps between big/controversial questions seamlessly with candid conversation.

The @Bose QuietComfort 35 II's are not just a great "noise cancelling headphone"... but they're a damned fine headphone in their own right. I find myself most often choosing them over my [Irish-made] Sennheiser 280Pro's and 598SE's in silent environments #verywellplayed #fidelity

For anyone looking for a REAL #crossborderbanking solution... look at @RBC.

@TD_Canada charge me ~3% for currency conversion between my accounts and I have to do all transactions over the phone (yes, really). I'm closing my TD accounts now after 26 years as a client.

Nice work @MSEdgeDev 👍

@code I am totally in awe of the product you guys put out. VSCode coupled with the vast array of packages is *absolutely awesome*

@alexmaunsell @uvic I was there tonight and yup still works even when the university is "closed".

[STΞVIΞ 🇨🇦 @stvhwrd]

@uvic Thanks for letting us know tonight instead of waiting until tomorrow! 🙏

My favorite thing to do in meetings with senior (like way senior) engineers is write down the questions that they ask.

The engineers who get to that level are generally the best at their jobs and they always ask the best questions.
