    @094459 I find the little ones break too often – I’ve gone through two now. 😂 This sucker comes with spare blades, height adjustment, and a rechargeable battery!


    @094459 Have you ever seen that subreddit called “power washer porn”? This feels like that, but for knitting. If only everything in life was so easily tidied up. 🙂

    @FourRedShoes I had to go back and see the official @BillAndTedTest rating, of course. I was losing my mind at all the women running around with their hair completely down. 😳


    It’s been so long since I’ve been inside anywhere but my house and the grocery store that I haven’t opened the @coronawarnapp in a while. Just discovered it’s been updated with local stats as well as a contact journal! Honestly, this app is so well done. 👏👏👏 https://t.co/eSzmxhKAI1

    @AmyJeanGillAU It’s the official German one. It’s really good!


    @Vel12171 I actually went back in my invoices and looked it up. I registered a couple domain names with Route53… and then never used either of them. 😂


    @Vel12171 I’m annoyed. One of them was really good and I completely forgot about it. I wonder if I could get it back again…


    @crankymate Intriguing. First I’ve heard of this one. I tried Hey but found it was too much of a disruption for how I process emails. What do you like about Superhuman?


    Is anyone else seeing a lot more spam end up in their Gmail Inbox these days?


    @Joanwestenberg Yes, THIS. I’ve seen founders who’ve never worked for someone else… struggle with how to manage their teams. When you’re an employee, you learn very quickly what good/bad bosses look like.

    Just finished Sanditon. WHAT. WHAT JUST HAPPENED. WHAT WAS THE POINT.


    @SharripieKnits Intensely! I’m kicking myself for not finding out before I started it. I just assumed it was going to be a single season story. 😩


    @SharripieKnits Right there with you. Young Stringer was a CATCH, and she’s an idiot for preferring the one who rage-yelled in her face.


    @gilmae The first ep showed a couple amoral libertines groping in a park, so I knew we were well into fanfic territory. I just wanted eight episodes and then DONE, thank you.


    @annie_parker Very fair assessment.

    @mmastertheone We’ve just started Sanditon. It’s definitely closer to Bridgerton than Bleak House… 😳


    Time for more Knitting with Kris. The fairisle jumper back is finished; now working on the front! https://t.co/SGy8OKVXiF https://t.co/54ITt4yfV0

    Six episodes into Sanditon, and all I can think is that Andrew Davies should be called out for plagiarising… himself. It’s like P&P fanfic. (That doesn’t stop me from hissing “GO FOR THE NICE HOT BUILDER” at Charlotte every other scene though.)

    @minxdragon Recipe: https://t.co/iESj3vtDfq – you won’t regret it! I subbed Emmental for the Gruyere and Parmesan for the Mexican cheese.


    @KmR1576 Whaaaat. See, I love a slow building mystery that eventually gets explained. And ep 5 ends with a real head scratcher (if you’re a big movie comic book geek).

    @lemon_lime I saw it referred to as a $71B cameo. 😂


    Watching Sanditon, and there’s an entire episode devoted to a pineapple. 😍🍍 https://t.co/XpORPPiaA1


    Oh no. The pineapple did not end well.


    @michejaw While I didn’t cover the cinematic angle, I’ve given a talk at a few tech conferences that discusses reverse engineering knitting patterns (and how people are trying to do it with machine learning). You may find it interesting! https://t.co/cg6D14d8Kr
