@leafsrone @TEDTalks Really? (Checks date and time)

Sitting at one of my local establishments. Listening to a meat head fireman I met a few years ago, and his equally inbred friends….sitting at the bar. It’s like a fucking @TEDTalks on how NOT to be as a man, and more importantly, as a human. I’m literally embarrassed for them.

“Just finished the math— Jeff Bezos first flight into space (9 minutes) emitted more CO2 (on just the 1 flight) than the poorest 1Billion people on earth combined emit in their lifetimes. CRAZY!” Sent to me in an email. I have asked for the math.

@toren_huntley @getdbt @mike0x41 It's been a part of a few conversations lately.

@KarlSwannie @getdbt @mike0x41 No! Is he a DBT expert?!

Looking into adding DBT to our data stack….pretty impressed so far with the community and documentation! @getdbt

#OSINT Protip 15: There are many datasets, maps and more online for many different, and very specific things. Everything from public toilets to license plates. Here are a few examples: - toiletmap.gov.au - dataset.domainsproject.org - worldlicenseplates.com #OSINTProtip

Still one of my favourites to play when no one is home: youtube.com/watch?v=7OyytK…

@brandonb927 Not unusual around here.

People drive with tires like these in Victoria. Spotted at QV’s last week. #yyj #roadsafety

@jmckenty D A Bm G - repeat.

Tell me how you handle Wednesdays without telling me how you handle Wednesdays.
