Absolutely loving an ambulance service tweeting an endorsement for w3w which neatly demonstrates the basic problem with using w3w for emergencies. The location they specified is in Kazakhstan, I guess they meant .florists.
Ambulance care assistant Margaret captured this beautiful photo. To find out where it was taken, download the What3Words app and search names.rank.florist @what3words makes it easier to identify your location should you need us #KnowExactlyWhere

"is there a German word for X" tsk. Y'all have become too dependent on imports for your word needs! Language is not a spectator sport, if you want a word, make one! Shout-outs to whoever discovered there was a "yeet"-shaped hole in English like 10, 15 years ago.

Hi everyone -- could you please help me out with something for work? I have a 4-question survey about jobseeking. I need responses from: => People in the U.S. => Aged 21-35 => 1-5 years into their careers. Even a retweet would be helpful! Thank you! surveymonkey.com/r/RTJobSeek…

On August 5th 2022 all ten episodes of The Sandman will drop on Netflix. You are not expected to watch all ten episodes on August 5th. There will not be a test.

Strange request: does anyone have a trebuchet that is within moving-to-Manchester-ish distance for next weekend (Friday 22 July). I'd say it's for a ridiculous project but I feel that is already heavily implied. Launch your suggestions towards matt@standupmaths.com

The most important lesson I've learned in the last year: Burnout isn't just the result of too much work. It's the TYPE of work. And, more specifically, your emotional connection to it. Burnout comes from feeling like no matter how much you do, it will never be enough.

So, rustup 1.25.1 is out tonight, big thanks to @pietroalbini who stayed up with me to get it done. We've reverted one of our optimisations as it seems to be causing troubles for people; in the official blog post we're asking for input on how to fix. blog.rust-lang.org/2022/07/1…

Well, I have to say that @MotorFuelGroup 's customer care team is *excellent* - They have sorted the unreasonable eurocarparks situation out rapidly and I could not be happier with them. If you need a rapid charge, I recommend their sites. Just be sure to insist on registering.

So yesterday, trying to reformat a USB stick, Windows decided to remove the GPT table from my dedicated-to-Linux NVME drive. I have no idea how this happened, but thank you to @CGSecurityOrg 's testdisk program which enabled me to recover things. A must-have for any ops toolkit.

Hey @MotorFuelGroup Do you realise that Euro Car Parks issue parking fines for using your chargers? I am sat here with a Β£100 charge notice for using your Stretford rapid chargers. This seems somewhat unreasonable considering there were free stands the whole 1h10m I was there.

Tonight we have @vaultcitybrew x @neonraptorbrew with their Centaur Skies. I might die of joy before the end of this drink. Strawberry, cream, chocolate, peanut butter, and toffee flavoured sour beer. Mmmmmm

And we're done - we got a very basic Asset API implementation (client *and* server) done, it's *NOT* pretty for now.
