    “The only way this could possibly be better,” I said, through a mouthful of deliciousness, “is if it had been preceded by a pile of salad from a Pizza Hut salad bar circa 1985.” 🍕❤️

    @cczona I said, You must be strong, and only make this for me twice a year, because I would eat it every single day, and then I’d die.

    @boyter @secretlabchairs It’s early days, but I’m hoping for similar results! My 15yo Office Works chair just wasn’t cutting it anymore…


    RT @COVID19Tracking: The real news today is that the U.S. set a record for new cases today: 38,672.

    The previous record was April 25 at 36…


    I’ve been having periodic problems with my @WithingsEN smart watch, where iPhone will suddenly lose the ability to connect via Bluetooth. And I think I just discovered the culprit… the COVIDSafe app. If I turn off its Bluetooth permission, suddenly my watch can connect again.


    So this is weird, right? Means I have to remember to give COVIDSafe Bluetooth permissions every time I go out, otherwise my smart watch loses ability to sync and show notifications. 🙁

    @jernej_kavka @GlobAICommunity Haha, I could see you taking photos out of the corner of my eye and wondered where they’d end up!


    @MichaelTozer Oh wow, didn’t realise you were watching, Michael! We met when you presented at @SydTechLeaders a while back. 😃 Thanks for joining!


    @damana Oh thank you! And I just realised I missed you getting your yellow badge – a happy belated Amazoniversary to you too. 🙂


    @starbuxman Yeah, I had the same first thought that they were dropping the Rhode part!


    The Snook is sitting nearby, working on today’s NYT crossword: “Up the [BLANK]. Four letters, ends with E.” 🤔😂


    Ante. How disappointment. 😂


    Huh. That would be a cool crossword theme, where for a few of the clues you could use rude words and the puzzle would still work.
