On the BART after two years, the sounds, sights, and smells bring back memories.

@DoorDash did you just get hacked? Or did I? Or is this a bug? Why I am signed up for a pass subscription all of a sudden and there is charge on my credit card without me having any knowledge of it?

Werner Herzog never disappoints.

Waking up these days and seeing Twitter stock taking another hike, then singing and dancing #StayingAlive to my desk, oh we fought for this so hard.

Wife opened a random box today and there was my wallet.

the sucker punch of realizing your wallet is missing, the gut wrench of thinking about renewing all those cards under the current COVID-19 closure condition

Let’s do the time warp again!

Any sentence with "password" and "security" in it is a joke.

Mac: I wanna install an upgrade, shall I try tonight? Me: Sure, thanks for being so considerate. Mac: No problem mate! [the morning after] Mac: Oh, iTerms2 blocked restart, doing upgrade right now. Me: [for the next 30 minutes]

@oskhan Reminds me of the Simpsons youtu.be/qqrCoyVK80I

I remember some grad student made a Google calendar with all such events at the university.

@bx As long as you still recall that yak shaving is (a) inevitable and (b) someone else has to do it for you as a whole to make progress that should be nice to enjoy.

Moving to a role where you no longer code definitely makes you feel less productive, but one nice thing about it is you no longer have to go through the endless yak shaving part of programming.

Now that's something I can applaud.

@Roku your latest remote design wins the the most inefficient implementation prize in any remote in any device I have ever owned. How did you end up dropping the ball like this?

Goes to shop baby wipes only to find empty shelves everywhere, thinks to himself what do people think is going on that act this way, gets back home turns on Netflix, notices Netflix’s new top 10 trending feature, ah ... ok!

@AmazonHelp I finally managed to chat with a an amazon representative regarding this. Item has been delivered to the shop instead of the locker in the shop. I don’t know if that’s funny or sad about your shipping and handling.

@me_rdad Thanks for that information. Please contact us here: amzn.to/NAContactUs, we'd be glad to help you further with this. ^AV

What am I supposed to do when you mark a package delivered to an @Amazon Hub Locker without giving me a pick up code? Where have you hidden the link to report this or talk to a support representative?

@AmazonHelp There is an email saying "Delivered: Your Amazon.com order ..." but there is no email for pick up nor there is a text for the pick up code.

@me_rdad We're so sorry to hear of this issue, Mehrdad! Just to clarify, have received an e-mail with a code to use for pick-up at the locker? You might need to check your spam folder, in case it ended up there. You can also check for our correspondence here: amzn.to/38j6GQY. ^MK
