With Twitter being in the news so much, there are examples from Twitter, e.g., twitter.com/GergelyOrosz/statu. The direction this guy was going was silly enough that a number of folks, unsolicited, messaged me in the early days saying that, based on the public tweets, this guy had no chance (h/t sigmoid.social/@swyx for images).

That example is only notable because the person actually tried and failed. There are plenty of more absurd claims from people who didn't try, like mastodon.social/@danluu/109374.

This is Buffalo #Bills assistant athletic trainer Denny Kellington. He is the reason #DamarHamlin is still alive.

He performed #CPR on Hamlin on the field Monday night, and doctors today said his speed and skill were "absolutely vital."

You never know when you will find yourself in a situation where you have the ability to save someone’s life.

So many years we fought with the Twitter API. I love that if you want an RSS of someone's Mastodon feed, you just add .rss at the end of their URL. Open Web, my friends. hachyderm.io/@shanselman.rss

Remember to rotate your social security number if it was in your LastPass vault.

My parents thought I was going through a space “phase” until I graduated from high school, went to college, and said “no really… I’m gonna do that thing I was somewhat obsessed with my entire life.” 😆 #NASA

Oops! I did again:

I created a Twitter account pretending to be @SenMarkey (with his permission) and applied for Blue “verification.”

And once again, Twitter took my $8, asked zero questions and gave the fake account a blue checkmark.

If you have a friend or acquaintance that you always enjoy spending time with & always say: "We must do this more often!", then consider making 2023 the year that you actually do it.

Sometimes there is a great deal less "more often" available than you might think.

ZIF socket came in for my #RC2014 build! I really like this one as low profile and the locking arm doesn't seem to interfere with anything

For those curious, it's the Aries Electronics 28-526-10

Spend 5 minutes or more on #YouTube learning how to treat most injuries that require immediate action to prevent blood loss & learn how to do that effectively.

Learn the signs for #stroke vs #heartattack.

I recent learned that the latest generation of #USBC power meters can actually read the E-marker so I picked one up from Aliexpress. Pretty neat, and actually useful, I didn't realize which cables I had that were Gen1 vs Gen2 vs Thunderbolt3

A quick intro. I’m an Aboriginal of Wiradjuri/French extraction. My paternal grandparents were basically full blood (for want of a better descriptor) I was born in an era where removing Aboriginal children for the purpose of assimilation was common place, I’m one of those children. Latter I became a street kid, I now own my own professional practice. In the past I was a semi-professional boxer, and did a stint in the ADF. My wife is non-Indigenous. When I write about Aboriginal issues I’m speaking from my own personal experiences, or those of my family including those I was institutionalised with as a kid. I also work with homeless people and street kids. My non-Indigenous family have vicariously experienced much of whit I write about. A parting thought: racism destroys people’s hopes and aspirations and eats their souls. We are all brothers and sisters in humanity - this is worth remembering. Bakchos
