@danbri The ones I pick up from the pharmacy regularly have extra stickers to extend the expiry date. internet tells me "Health Canada authorizes the shelf-life of rapid tests and has granted several shelf-life extensions." Pretty sure they're fine if only ~6 months overdue

Q: are out of date covid tests 100% junk, or still better than nothing? Do they tend towards false positives vs false negatives vs random noise as they age?

@BidenHQ Arpaio is on record as being willing to accept much more than a kiss. youtube.com/watch?v=bHvjHb…

NEW AD: Donald Trump just called up someone on stage to give him a kiss. His name is Joe Arpaio, and he’s a convicted criminal who serially abused and racially profiled Latinos.

@danbri Sure! Pickup/dropoff not included

@ger lend it to me for a week

Did I imagine this?: that there is some newish kind of printer that actually works well including ink pricing? Definitely sounds delusional. Need a new one regardless :/

@danbri The worst thing about my Brother laser printer is that it refuses to die, so I'm stuck with one that has fax capability but no wireless

Brother printers are getting a lot of support, probably will do that. But I do feel like I heard of some general trend (beyond laser printers, or a variant on them) which was making printers less sucky in general

@StevesChirps The sky in the 2nd and rocks in the 4th feel a bit off to me, but overall they seem plausible. Pretty amazing!

@TrungTPhan coffee shops should have express lanes for people buying coffee

Starbucks annual sales is ~$40B across 37k+ stores. At such scale, it’s very profitable to shave a few seconds off each order. Per Bloomberg, Starbucks would make an extra ~$900m a year if each store served 5 extra patrons per day. That’s why Starbucks is spending $450m on a new bar setup called Siren System (video below), where the key ingredients — dairy, pumps, caffeine, ice — are placed in a new optimized counter. Take a Mocha Frappuccino: ▫️Under the existing system, it takes 16 steps and 87 seconds ▫️Under Siren System, it will be 14 steps and 36 seconds. There are currently 383 billion potential drink combinations at Starbucks. And orders have gotten so ridiculously elaborate, that the average wait time is 5 minutes. Why does Starbucks put up with the extra? Cause “extras” on the order are worth $1B a year. For people like me — who just want a simple black Trenta iced coffee — it’s kinda annoying. The Siren System will be in 40% of US stores by 2026. Can’t wait for the full rollout to more efficiently put caffeine down my skull.

Cool, URIs can change

Even though smaller than tornadoes, dust devils can still be quite destructive as they lift dust and other debris into the air. This is what happened at the Parookaville Festival in Weeze, Germany [source: buff.ly/42v6UAu]

@dril better to have no blue check and be thought a virgin than to have one and remove all doubt - abraham lincoln

@avolakatos @briankardell @w3ctag @w3c Thanks. I think this should now be resolved, as of around 19:00 UTC

@ger @briankardell @w3ctag @w3c When it's down, anything on w3.org goes down. This was the "Submit vote" attempt.

We've got a little while left for this @w3ctag election (the deadline is 2022-12-13 in Boston/ET), and more than anything, please encourage @w3c members to vote. Low turnout makes it easy for a majority's least favorite candidates to win a seat, they just need the quota.

@avolakatos @briankardell @w3ctag @w3c Hi, are you able to access any pages on w3.org, like the home page? How about lists.w3.org or validator.w3.org ? I don't see any related issues on cloudflare's status page.

@briankardell @w3ctag @w3c The cloudflare connection is down right now in the UK, can't seem to be able to vote...

@DonMacAskill @Flickr Yes! Please do!

Was just discussing ActivityPub earlier this week internally. Should we add to @Flickr? (No promises, just thinking [err, Tweeting] out loud to gauge interest.) It might be right up our alley, though…

@sandhawke I have given Twitter and Google hundreds if not thousands of explicit "I don't care about pro sports" signals, yet they continue to inundate me with scores and player gossip. WHY

Trillian dollar ad tech industry and I can't get my local newspaper's app to understand I don't give a damn who won the game

@danbri @Pinboard I agree it would be nice to include more context. I keep meaning to make time to experiment with something like ArchiveBox github.com/ArchiveBox/Arc… or Heretrix github.com/internetarchiv…

@danbri @Pinboard my script basically just runs this then captures the output and squirrels it away: wget -q 'https://ger:password@api.pinboard.in/v1/posts/all'

Twitter “likes” for me, increasingly mean “I’d like to grab a copy of this someday, before Twitter goes away”…

If someone gives you a CSV file with 100,000 rows in it, what tools do you use to start exploring and understanding that data?
