We don't say "congratulations" when someone becomes an open source maintainer.

Instead we say, "Congratulations, thank you, and sorry"

@mahryekuh Yes that would be ok and I would appreciate a linkback to the original toot/my profile, as I've seen example where people redacted my handle/avatar when they use my content. Thank you!

First I couldn't figure out how to work the fancy Nespresso machinery thingy in my hotel room.
Then I couldn't figure out how to work the printer in the conference staff room.

I swear I'm usually smarter than this 😵

I went to buy a bagel and coffee, but the receipt they printed is super long, it's as long as my grocery receipt at Costco 😵

Half of the receipt was like "we want to spam your inbox in exchange for coffee discount next time blah blah blah".

Then they put that portion BETWEEN the items purchased and the receipt total.

Anyone who ever needed to take picture of their receipts for the accounting department, you understand how annoying it is to take picture of a super long receipt 👿

@amethyst it was Einstein Bros bagel 😓

Live weather report from Pittsburgh: in case you wanna decide how to pack for PyCon US.

Today is very hot 🥵 27C/80F ☀️

Caveat, I'm the kind of person who starts the AC at 24C 🫠

Got an email notification of a flight I booked:
"We regret to inform the change in schedule... your flight is now scheduled to arrive 5 minutes earlier"

Umm ok thanks 😅

@iqbalabd No skill needed. If everyone just wears a PyCon (regional or US) or PyLadies T-shirt when they travel, then we can all spot each other.
