@macjshiggins I once had somebody board standby after me on a UA B737. Elbow on my controls; pointed this out. Apologies were made, I said "don't worry, United doesn't know how to design plane interiors" Offered a tour of Willis Tower. Business card, globe logo. "Cabin Systems Engineer"

I would like to wish everyone involved in the development of the United B737-700 infotainment system a bad day.

@LEONTHEGREAT10 he's been wrong on other shows and earlier this season on the boys, he just takes other leaks and reposts them, then deletes tweets on the incorrect ones. example: whole rampage, then it's just a "speech" nothing else

Whoever made that VFX leak should’ve been the writer instead cuz this is dogshit

@warrie2021 There's no sign of Back Ashley speaking; by the end of the episode, Back Ashley says she's never going to speak to her again for her complicit nature in heinous acts. So most likely: Back Ashley did the same thing in the president scene, and Ashley lied about it for power

Why didn't the president start thinking of the top songs on the billboard when Homelander asked Ashley to read his mind?

@_Gorefag @cementvucky4 @denjiest Yeah. Hickam actually tried (unsuccessfully) to persuade NASA to give Naomi their* internship back. Naomi is still bitter about missing the NASA internship, but not at Hickam. fxbsky.app/profile/naomih…

@jdcguy @cementvucky4 @denjiest yeah thats way more reasonable of a chain of events

i honestly don’t think she should’ve lost her job over that

@luciascarlet That later 2000s era of Microsoft was Microsoft, to the extent possible, roasting itself internally to improve its product. Say "hey, this is an example of dogshit that we shipped, let's learn from it". Sadly, that era is gone. Self-critique is dead.

why were Microsoft just roasting themselves in the Windows 7 UI guidelines

@Ronzabonzz @nypost They've been asked this multiple times, Costco CFO a few years back was asked "do any food court items lose money" and he responded that the food court as a whole makes little to no profit. Beyond cost of ingredients you have labor, utilities, etc. to run the food court

@nypost Costco is not losing money selling a cheap dog and bun for a buck fifty. They probably make about 75 cents per. 50% food cost.

Costco makes controversial change to its $1.50 hot dog combo - for the first time in 40 years of business trib.al/58n5ntz

@FatKidDeals Tried it a couple weekends ago, it's very mid. They're using some premade churro topping that's too dense, not freshly baked churro bits, so the texture and taste are off. Wish the mint cookie one was still around. That was easily much much better.

Costco has released a Caramel Churro Sundae. Available at select locations now with more locations rolling out over the next few weeks

@_kanarazu_ Add empower and curb. I'd regularly take Curb to take rides that were $30 at times in Philly for less than $13 in medallion cabs with electronic hailing and upfront pricing I'm all for ehail but Uber/Lyft have gotten ridiculous. Spend over $30 for a ride. Driver makes $12

the good news: adversaries can, in fact, solve coordination games the bad news: uber and lyft successfully solved the coordination game

@13Zombo13 @USPS usps.com/help/contact-u… Fill the form, complaint, it'll go to the district then down to the postmaster, who will typically give you a more useful direct number if you tried to call just after I suggested earlier, it is saturday and most post offices have very reduced hours tho

@jdcguy @USPS Try to call them. They won 't answer.

The @USPS are refusing to deliver my mail because my porch steps are unsafe. Jayleen Graffinder is the person demanding I replace my steps. Guess what her husband sells for a living?

@MrPitbull07 It's a dumb urban legend. You have to provide your name and date of birth to buy an airline ticket. If you continually abuse fully refundable airline the airline can and will ban you from buying tickets...

@Pogue Nah, proving a valid point. If they want itemized receipts above a certain amount or justification for it covering an external parties that's one thing. If it just a meal to be expenses in regular travel stupidly excessive on asking for detail

My employer has a new, astronomically awful expense-reporting system. Opaque, inefficient, and mind-bogglingly duplicative. Am I being too much of a smartass?

@MakeAugusta The only fond memory I have of TigerDirect was getting a Lexar JumpSport 1GB drive from them in 2005 for $80. I bought other stuff from them over the years and it was always grab bag. Them owning OnRebate and then denying the rebates with valid proof was peak 2000s scam energy

They killed off TigerDirect!

@MCLuhan17 @aakashgupta Imperfect/broken eggs that wouldn't go out in cartons to stores and would otherwise be thrown out

@aakashgupta where do the liquid eggs come from

The math on eggs should scare every commodity trader on the planet. $8.22/dozen wholesale in February 2025. $0.33/dozen by January 2026. Ninety-six percent erasure in eleven months. No war, no policy change, no demand shock from consumers. Just chickens. Bird flu killed 50.7 million hens. Farmers rebuilt the flock from 292 million to 308 million birds. Production is up 7.5% year over year. And now wholesale prices sit below the $1.05 cost of production, meaning every egg shipped loses money. The part that makes this a case study: foodservice buyers permanently switched to liquid eggs during the price spike. Shell egg demand is 40-50% below the decade baseline. Farmers fixed the supply problem and discovered the demand had left the building. $2.50 retail. $0.92 wholesale. The spread between what you pay and what the farmer gets has never been wider. Someone is making money on eggs. It's just not the person with the chickens.

@Clkiscool @ijaqit @CarlZha Most likely a fake return address issue, Amazon charges more to actually handle returns that use fulfillment by Amazon to actually dispose of or re-inventory returns, so sellers selling cheap stuff will just designate a fake return address within the US to save money

@ijaqit @CarlZha He ordered the first set? There would be no need to do this, and with that amount of chopsticks for that amount of time, it would infinitely more likely be an error than a review scam

American bro bought 10 pairs of chopsticks for $10 on Amazon. Or so he thought. Now he is a chopsticks artist

@StephenFleming The entire point is to ensure you didn't mistype your routing number the first time, because you would be highly unlikely to mistype it twice in the exact same manner... versus copying the mistyped entry from the first field and pasting it into the validation field.

I hate websites that don’t allow cut-and-paste. Flipping between apps on an iPhone to type a 9-digit routing number (or 12- or 16-digit account number) manually is FAR more likely to result in an error than just pasting from the clipboard. Why do designers do this?

@csuitecounsel @mikulaja BILT had a bunch of issues during the transition - rent payments failing, balances not transferred, cards falling out of packaging during mailing, cards showing up weeks after launch, undisclosed foreign transaction fees (recently reversed). Very messy and ill planned

It seems to be even messier. The balance was supposedly transferred, and yet the bank was still charged; the account is supposedly closed, and yet communications continue. It felt like Wells put minimal resources into accommodating the roll-off with no attempt to win over customers, while Bilt did a much better job working around Wells' limitations.

Kind of crazy, given Wells Fargo’s history, that Bilt users had to opt OUT of receiving a WF card during the “Bilt 2.0” transition

@mikulaja Per WSJ reporting, BILT tried to shop BILT 2.0 to Synchrony & Barclays. Synchrony apparently declined, and Barclays wanted a >20% discount off portfolio value which would have been another quarter billion one off loss on the BILT 1.0 money bonfire WF had already lit

@mikulaja Not really surprising and typical in the industry - if the new issuer (Cardless for BILT 2.0, Goldman Sachs for Apple) refuses to buy the portfolio out or there is no new issuer (Uber Visa), it's typical for the original issuer to keep acct open & product change it
