@AbbeyScott16 You literally will not see any passenger vehicles here with chains - at least in the city. We just stay home for 24 hrs because it’s guaranteed to warm up 😆 Even growing up in Nebraska, where we did get a lot snow, chains aren’t used as much as one would think.

The roads in the St. Louis-region are BAD. Here’s a view from Imperial, MO this morning courtesy of Joe Lawson. #stlwx

@MikeSPXZero @Megan_Anderson3 @brianmmunoz For whatever reason, most Midwest communities don't use sand, just salt. And freezing rain came overnight/early morning. Secondary roads like this are usually the last to be treated/plowed.

@MikeSPXZero @brianmmunoz The other thing is below a certain temps, treating the roads doesn’t do any good. I personally don’t know what that temp threshold is, but that’s why we don’t see roads getting treated at times.

@brianmmunoz You guys don't have any salt trucks or sand trucks or winter tires or anything?

@felixleezd A solid understanding of all design fundamentals – spacing and object relationship, color theory, typography, sizing. That is such a crucial thing that often gets left behind by people who try to just jump into design. So many fundamentals build on each other.

@asilvadesigns @felixleezd Yessss. Type can literally make or break an experience. It doesn't matter how pretty something is – if the type sucks, the entire thing sucks.

@felixleezd They can make type look good. No colors, no fancy layouts, no animation, no brand. Just typeface selection, leading, kerning, tracking, sizes etc. If they can establish visual hierarchy with just that, it's a clear indicator to me, and usually the resume is where it shows first

crazy to me that if you’re poor you cannot get your sidewalk fixed. 50/50 sidewalk program only works if you can pay the $800-1000 for your half of the cost & that’s if you alder agrees to allocate money for the City’s half..also why is mobility spending up to individual alders

@STLDanni @_Dharmabum_ Get the octopus tapas! It was a favorite. The paella was just okay IMO - have had better but have also had worse. Be sure to check out the art gallery on the second level (take the fun staircase up)

Even though it was short-lived, I still loved every minute of it. Sending a virtual hug to all of the former Tweeps today 💙

I watched people get cut and lose access to Slack in real time. It was the most bizarre thing. I lost my access at 11PM that night and got the official email at 3AM. I had only been with the company for 10 months but it still stung - a lot. As a designer, Twitter was my dream job

I remember a year ago getting a text telling me to check my work email. There it was - the notice that Twitter layoffs would happen the next day. I was naive at the time thinking I would perhaps be safe because I worked in the ads dept. However, the layoffs started that night.

@sarahdoody The one where we knew we didn't have the internal support, tech stack, or resources to build what we wanted to. Cue outsourcing.

@Crookedlakecows I have no idea on specifics but I know my dad only uses 1 combine for their entire 3k+ acres (will sometimes hire a small bit out depending on conditions to help meet deadlines). It can do 12 rows at a time 🤷🏻‍♀️

How many acres/combine does everyone run? And what HP? We’ve been running 2, but they are older & the oldest one only worked for 3 days total. Spent the rest of the time fixing it & pretty much ran just the 1. But thinking of upgrading to bigger & just running 1.

@ilyamiskov I know this is an example meant for a discussion but I can't get past having to squint to read the words within the disabled states and questioning if this is even close to meeting A11Y standards. 🙃

Design dilemma 🤔 Should all disabled states look the same, no matter what their default state was? or Should disabled states inherit the traits of their default state counterparts?
