@mmaunder Yes. Quite a bit actually. It's all drive through or drive-up. They're taking precautions with partitions and masks and gloves. Didn't have a lot of choice, having to rush back from Mexico without a home. Most have long lines of cars at meal times out here in NV, UT, ID, & WA.

@mmaunder Whoa! I had no idea Die Hard was a sequel!

[Tevya @tevyaw]

@joe4ska @jasontucker Same here. It's got some issues, but still a huge improvement.

[Tevya @tevyaw]

@scottbolinger Excited for you! Now that we know there's no 14" coming, I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on a 16" like you.....

[Tevya @tevyaw]

@JurassicDanie I run a business that does this. Happy to answer questions. Lots of room in this space.

Dear Mr Bayan Booker,

If you're going to spam me, & mistake me for a chiropractor with a physical office, the least you could do is replace "[OUR COMPANY]" with your supposed company name in the body of the email....

Let me help you, your signature says its "Petrusan Telcom".

YES. I was always uncomfortable claiming that I taught myself. The only thing I brought to the process was enough stubbornness to not quit, and keep asking the community to help.

[Tevya @tevyaw]

@mikeoliver @benswrite Wow! Love it. May have one for you. What do you charge?

I'm waiting to see if the 3rd round from a company I'm doing a trade with, is any better than the 1st 2 rounds?

[Tevya @tevyaw]

Have u ever been sitting on the 🚽 when someone knocks & u find yourself responding "who is it?"

It occurs to u it might be your father-in-law? There's no choice but to hope he doesn't reply, so you can both pretend it never happened. He doesn't.

Ever happened 2 u?

Me neither.

@michaeltorbert The fact I can't think of it has got me reconsidering. But I'll probably drop Netflix soon as well, until the next Stranger Things season arrives.

[Tevya @tevyaw]

Prediction: since every major media company has their own streaming service, people will start rotating subscriptions: Disney+ for the Mandalorian, then cancel & get CBS ALL access for Picard, then Peacock, AppleTV+, HBO, Netflix, Hulu, etc. W/1 or 2 they keep all the time.

[Tevya @tevyaw]

@michaeltorbert I caught Discovery on Netflix while in Mexico. Now have CBS for Picard/SEAL Team. Will cancel soon for Hulu, but can't think of which show I wanted to see?

Have the Disney+ 3 year deal, for the kids.

Had this thought when I realized the Psych 2 movie would only be on Peacock.

[Tevya @tevyaw]

@benUNC @wpXPRESS I know how that goes. I read and appreciated the caveat reply before the RT.

There's just no way to RT both as one... Guess I could have taken a screenshot.

I just appreciate your honesty and perspective. Trying to emulate it in some small way.

[Tevya @tevyaw]

Wish I'd had this perspective last week. But I did stick to great guiding principles we have for support @wpXPRESS and it worked out great in the end.

Remembering this probably would've reduced my anxiety about the situation some.

[Ben Meredith @benUNC]

Your customers are not primarily mad at you right now, they are just in survival mode. Solve problems and ignore aggression.

The single best deescalation tactic is a resolved problem. Getting even just a little defensive only escalates. #TechSupport #CustomerSupport

[Tevya @tevyaw]

I could have used this a few years ago. There were no great solutions then!

Write a book and a blog, at the same time, in #WordPress! I’m developing software to make that easy. First 50 founding members will have it tailored to their needs, and get a free lifetime license 😱! See https://t.co/nAitTQnxcO RTs appreciated ❤️

@Site24x7 @uptimerobot @managewp @Site24x7Cares We use @managewp so we don't have control over those settings. Perhaps you can work with them to ensure this is configured correctly?

I got 2 false positives the other day, within an hour of each other. Totally different hosts & unrelated sites.

[Tevya @tevyaw]

🤔 Here's a free idea for #uptime monitoring services:

Use a separate set of reserved IP's to double-check if a site is actually down, or just blocking your normal IP's?

HUGE value-add for your customers by preventing false down ⬇️ alerts 🚨.

@managewp @uptimerobot

[Tevya @tevyaw]

@uptimerobot @managewp That's great! Didn't know.

Unfortunately for me it turns out @managewp moved to @Site24x7 @Site24x7Cares which doesn't seem to do this, because we keep getting false positives.

Hopefully they can implement something like this as well.
