This is literally the stupidest thing I've read this week.

Dodge says its all-electric Charger concept is as loud as gas-powered muscle cars https://www.engadget.com/dodge-all-electric-charger-concept-092156218.html?src=rss #generalgeekiness #feedly

"Hey Dave, I have these things lying around. You want 'em?"

"Oh fine, sure, I guess so" (glee, chortle, smirk)

Unpopular opinion: I think #Slack is in trouble. Microsoft is putting enormous efforts into adding features and integrations and functions into Teams, and slack / #salesforce is doing... Nothing.

I don't like Microsoft. I don't like #microsofteams. I find the interface difficult to navigate and unintuitive, but it's clear that Microsoft is hell-bent on overtaking slack, and they are well on their way to succeeding.

Dear @Google@twitter.com - Voice is awesome. It really is. It miiight be time to work on the webclient a bit. Did you know every chat system in the world allows you to paste in an image to send?

Except yours.

Might want to put someone on that. Shouldn't be hard. #uxfail #ux #sms #voice

Happy power outage day! I am e or.ously tha kfyl for having installed my transfer switch and generator last year. We're fine.

"Know what a turtle is?" "Uh huh" "Same thing."

I'd really like to find the engineer who added the 'swipe to move forward and past in time' in Google Calendars, and have a heart to heart chat. Probably starting with WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING? #badux #google

This is why #retrocomputing nerds socialize. Friend of mine sai "Hey, I have this Tungsten E2 still in it's original packaging, want it?"

Hell yeah I do. I try to avoid collecting Palm devices (cuz there's zillions), but this is just too cool. April, 2005 this was released. It's been in it's box for 17 years. #vintagecomputing

Ladles and gentlemints. That is a working playfield light on my Hyperball #pinball machine. Another fixed problem!!!

I just have to say, I have the best boss ever. I was out last week with COVID, and I'm still testing positive. We had a very quick meeting this morning, because I was like "I'm mostly okay, just tired. Is there stuff that needs to be done?"

His reply: "No, we're fine. Get better. Take the time you need. Go heal."

So, we reset the timer 2 days and we'll see then.

There are good managers in the world.

So talk about a weird indicator that I'm starting to feel better. One of my idle time things is to do very difficult Sudoku puzzles. Have a nice app for it on my phone, and for most of this week, I would simply unable to complete any puzzles.

Today I did three of them, without any hints errors.

I know Sudoku puzzles are considered a sort of "not very hard puzzle for people who think they're smarter than they are" but I find them relaxing and entertaining.

So, my sweetie is down with the 'rona. We've isolated out, and we're staying in separate parts of the house. I'm considering this like a camping trip adventure TO MY OFFICE. What a world we live in. #covid19
