@Ethan_Simmons @JetBlue Before is better. Plenty of time to download movies or tv episodes. Or go retro and read a book

Just received an email from @JetBlue notifying travelers that the flight to #awsreinvent2023 will not have WiFi. I am not sure what is worse. Getting ready for a 6 hour flight knowing there won’t be WiFi or finding out the WiFi is not working when you get on the plane. On my last 3-5 flights the WiFi has not worked. #mosaic

@reInventParties @Dulles_Airport And just answered my prior q 😆 sorry I missed you at takeoff. See you on landing

Alright, gotta ask. Who else is at @Dulles_Airport Gate D5? Say Hi! #reInvent

@reInventParties Wait. Are you on the Dulles flight? Or did your BWI flight take off at the same time 😀

Checked in on the plane. Wearing my mask based on the CO2 count. See you all in Las Vegas! Safe flights Everyone! #reInvent

@silvexis Any sushi lunches? 😇

I'm in Vegas for re:Invent for 5 nights..looking at the calendar however, I appear to be going to like 20 dinners.😬

@QuinnyPig I’ve had a few close encounters where I considered a CoC report but erred on the side of grace. May I never actually need to use it

(I'm planning A Thing at re:Invent and am trying to find the best wording for "if you violate the CoC, you will not be considered 'people' anymore." The entire reason my nonsense works is because there's a very clear line that we DO NOT CROSS.) aws.amazon.com/codeofconduct/

@QuinnyPig @awscloud I often try to pin it up at standard name badge height so that people aren’t staring at my stomach

One of my re:Invent tips: If you've been before, bring an old badge with you. @awscloud badges only show your info on one side, so I like to have the old badge back-to-back with the new one. That way, people can always see my name; save them from feeling awkward.

@Iwillleavenow I hate that people share all over Facebook/nextdoor every single person that passes by their front door. It generates fear and violates privacy

I got to talk about a new Google patent for identifying and responding to people approaching camera doorbells and why being constantly watched, identified, and evaluated is a bad thing. nasdaq.com/articles/googl…

@engineering_bae Actually mine is the ergo plus fka the Kinn chair. And the back is of a different material. If it is the same comfort as mine, but with the better back material design, you are in for a treat

@engineering_bae I have had mine for 3 years and find it more comfortable than HM. I do have some splitting of the back mesh that popped up a few months ago. I don't notice it 99% of the time, but it is definitely not HM quality.

@TheSkepticalSc2 @MeanestTA Donkeys can serve the same purpose and are often as good or better than dogs - particularly for living with larger livestock like cows. Dogs are typically used for sheep.

@MeanestTA Have you guys tried a herd dog? Something like those dogs that are raised together with a herd of sheep?

@SingletaryM If I win the lotto, in addition to some scholarships and random acts of generosity, I’d like to do something to address housing insecurity. It is the leading cause of kids ending up in foster care

So, what WOULD you do if you won the lottery? Buying your dream home? Paying off debt? Saving? Investing? Blowing it all in Vegas?!

@lockdownurlife @elchefe I've only met you in passing, but know that even a relative stranger is glad you are still here with us. Wishing you wellness and peace

CW: self harm . . . . Today marks a week since I tried to end my life. I don’t know what else to say about it other than I appreciate the folks who’ve called/ come by & been there for me when I needed you. I can’t thank y’all enough. Please check on your strong friends, y’all.

@bellabee13 “27 8x10 color glossy photos” anytime information/proof is irrelevant to the realities of a system. Apparently quoting Alice’s Restaurant in a work context is odd 🤷🏼‍♀️

What’s a movie/tv/book reference you make fairly regularly that people tend to not know/understand and subsequently give you weird looks for? This tweet brought to you by today’s use of one of my personal top answers, which is: “Jesus loves winners.”

A crime was committed at @Dulles_Airport today. I ordered a Coke and without a word of explanation, I was handed a Pepsi. How am I supposed to recover in time for @FinOpsFdn X?

@QuinnyPig I’m pro-RI and will be a very sad panda if once they finally go away. SPs are great in many ways but my true love is a nice portfolio of RI and savings plans

I mean yes, they should, but also doing it via silent doc changes rather than a pre-announcement is… yikes.

Holy crap has @awscloud deprecated EC2 RIs while I’ve been on vacation?!

@MeanestTA Here I'd been thinking the CEO was on team Meanie. So sorry I was wrong

@lockdownurlife My dogs eat most horse treats, so I get double duty out of them

@Ethan_Simmons @HKiPUN @PTPCloud @BosBizEditor @CRN @norwoodspace @AWS_Partners @CiscoPartners Congrats!

Always something exciting going on at @PTPCloud to keep everyone from getting too comfortable. Proud the entire TEAM and expecting big things at PTP v2.0! 📈 🔥 @BosBizEditor @CRN @norwoodspace @AWS_Partners @CiscoPartners

@elchefe I live in an HOA. I do not love it. But in my area, to find a house NOT in an HOA means either 2-4x the commute or 5x the price and a much older home. My area doesn't really have many neighborhoods but we sure do have a lot of "developments" built from the 70s on.

If you don’t think HOAs are rooted in white supremacy, go look at who’s always in favor of them in HOA discourse.

My recent podcast w/ @FrankContrepois and Stephen Old of @olddognewtechs is now live. Who knew that talking about Public Sector FinOps would lead to a discussion on what qualifies as an old house in the US vs Europe? 😁 lnkd.in/eNY-geWd
