I never would have imagined when Suits ended in 2019 that it would become a massive cultural phenomenon 5 years later.

Loved the series when it originally aired. Didn’t realize it was still relevant.

My new IEMs just came in. Picked up a pair of KZ ZS10 Pro X.

So... fedi-hivemind, what's your go to headphone test song?

My first play on any PA setup or new headphones is always Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) by the Eurythmics.

@paulthenerd Agreed. It's been years since I've watched Secret World Live. This might be a good reason.

What are the best down/uptime websites available on the internet? There are plenty low quality sites, looking for the good ones. Thanks!

@joshbuchea I like OhDear. up/down monitors plus DNS change monitoring, broken link monitoring, certificate expiry monitoring and public status pages.

My takeout came with a plastic straw tonight. ❤️

I know plastic ones are bad, but paper straws are just awful.

For the first time EVER, I am going to Halifax, NS, Canada
I am super excited! Not only do I go to a new city, I get to give a whole new talk on Friday! "Championing Security: Scaling Security At Every Level"

@mcdwayne I'm jealous! That looks like a great conference - and in Halifax too. Have fun, it's a beautiful city.

In this case, I'd say trailing behind other cities is winning.

Ottawa Business Journal, go away. Your bias is showing.

How about "Ottawa leads other cities in working remotely" instead?
