@JenMsft I do that with technical podcasts. I start having thoughts and conversations in my head and exploring ideas and then realise I stopped listening.

@JenMsft This is not the tweet you are looking for

@JenMsft @yunmoxinghe for ones you don’t care about it should be a middle-finger tap

@dillon_mulroy it isn’t just on the left. It depends on the side of the road and if it is a two-way road. The side nearest the oncoming traffic walks nearest the kerb, so they can see whether it is safe or not to step into the road, if required.

@1kevgriff Kevin, you ARE the weakest link. Goodbye

@JenMsft My old boss used to do that. She would send a Slack message “are you free?” or “do you have a moment?” and then wait until I responded to tell me something or ask the question.

At my current place you get a greeting and maybe a “how are you?” followed by the question or context

@chefbrent have you not heard the version by Leo Moracchioli ?

[Surly Dev @surlydev]

@JenMsft Someone messaged me saying that the mods on a popular Twitch news stream should do harm to themselves. I banned them.

I have gathered mod privileges on a number of other streams. I banned them on there too.

@TiildeVT @CharlatanWonder You. can wire up the audio so that music doesn’t play on YT and doesn’t make it through to Twitch clips and VODs.
