@Raspberry_Pi They are the best! They were ubiquitous at my first job, so I bought one to fit in.š I still have it.I'd never heard of reverse polish notation before having one. Now I wish everything followed suit.

@stux two men's WCs in a row where the best guidance was to use a burner phone and assume all communications are compromised.

We thought we were in the clear, but 5 days after her last exposure to me, my wife has now tested positive for #Covid. Hopefully her case is without difficulty.

I am both fascinated by #snakes and, if Iām honest, a little scared of them too. Perhaps more than a little.I know this 4ā central rat snake is non-venomous, and many people would just snatch it up and relocate it. I could not do it! My courage repeatedly faltered at the critical moment. I eventually discouraged it from climbing up the house. I might have even shrieked when it turned & let go of the brick wall, plummeting 5 feet to the ground.We both survived, mostly unscathed.#WildLife

I gripe about this all the time, but Ticketmaster is an unchecked monopoly.Ticket price = $290Total price = $393.55A 35% drag for what services, exactly? Because reading the fees explanation shows a lot of duplicative coverage.The fees are really just because they can.

Phone is showing SOS only as part of the Verizon Wireless outage.Can't sign into my account because their 2FA requires a text verification and they've no alternatives.Text 2FA has always been dumb.

@ThaMunsta yeah, there is always that classic tension between security and usability. I think companies think it's easy and their users can't really screw it up. But security suffers.And while uptime for cellular providers is extremely high, nobody bats 1.000
