In another life I’m a hipster barista battling evil spy drones with my Tor-powered coffee grinder.

I work for Microsoft so I post stuff about that from time to time, but mostly I’ll be posting about random things not related to my $dayjob.

[Opinions my own, nothing done by me here is an endorsement of or by my employer]

@nprofile1q... Why is it so hard for US companies to just raise the base price when they (think they) need more money for a thing/service in order for it to be sustainable/profitable?

Instead all these stupid “additional charge” that are almost impossible to properly account for as a customer.

Coming from Europe this is one of my main gripes when purchasing things/services in the US.

@nprofile1q... Looking forward to it! Just finished Picks & Shovels yesterday (great book, and it had me squealing at all the geek history tidbits/references, and made me miss the Mission…or at least the Mission of days past…) so the universe was showing its sense of humor having me cross paths with you on the same day. 😄

This week’s “what the heck?!?”-moment:
Bumping into @nprofile1q... on the streets of Seattle on a random Saturday evening…

I’m pretty sure I didn’t miss a book reading/singing… 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️

I cannot be silent on this - you MUST boycott #ElonMusk IMMEDIATELY!

No one performs a #Nazi salute and walks away without consequences!

If you own a Tesla - buy a new car. If you use Starlink - find a replacement service. If you're on Twitter - delete the account. If you own stock in his companies - sell them.

Don't believe me on this - check the sources.

*** Warning, triggering: https://youtu.be/ddzlVzc_ypE?t=63

We cannot look the other way, we cannot make excuses. #boycottMusk

Just checking but…did anyone tell him he couldn’t smoke it *before* he accepted the gig?
