@kel Indeed. Didn't they have record profits last quarter, and then turned around and laid off like 500 people from Twitch a couple of weeks ago?

Glad to see the EU looks to be blocking the iRobot acquisition, 'cause if there was ever an entity that needed to be broken up, Amazon is it.

@lfrum Indeed! It's always nice when the mountain's out - looks like you're not too far from us! #PNWrocks

@phase2 I have to do a BP check for an upcoming appointment, and realized I was drinking my first cup of coffee during the pauses between the 3 times it cycles. 😜

@th3j35t3r That'd be so epic, I don't know if I could ever Shake it Off!

@Brisse I found that switching out my allen wrenches for ball drivers worked to prevent that. You may have to do some google fu to find the size(s) you need, from standard screwdriver handles to a t-handle grip that helps when my hands are sore.

@mcfate Yes. I opt out of any sort of "advertising tailored to your interests" (aka, we want your data for all sorts of other reasons) and the other day, YouTube decided to serve up an ad in the middle of a video I was watching, and this ad was from Epoch Times - a pretty well-known anti-LGBTQ+ organization, promoting some new anti-trans video they created.

I. Was. Fuming. I reported both the ad and the little corner ad, but who knows if it does any good. 🤬

@awnaves 👋 Not especially, just returning after a couple of month hiatus.

@awnaves A sad sack that can only make their miserable lives a fraction brighter by attempting to bring someone else down to the sewer in which they reside.

They're typically best scraped off one's shoe, and left to fester, stinking in the corner of a pub's parking lot.

@FrankCannon Happy-happy born day, young man!! 🎂 🎁 🎉
