I’m currently catching up on #HouseOfTheDragon, but also spending some unexpected time with my elderly mother, so we are watching #TheCrown together. Suddenly @mattsmith_dw has become unexpectedly and somewhat disturbingly central to my life.

Hey @SBSOnDemand #couchpeloton what’s the deal with your Flander’s classics replays? You’re replay of Gent-Wevelgem stops about 30 minutes before the end. Your Men’s Ronde coverage cuts out at 3h15m when streaming on TelstraTV, but streaming on Chrome runs 6h54m

The diabolically shit level of customer service from @Telstra never fails to underwhelm. When I let the assistant know in the store I was not satisfied, she straight face informed me she wasn’t authorised to take feedback from customers. WTAF?

A couple years back, O'Reilly published the book "Software Engineering at Google." It's good, I read it. Now, you can read it online, entirely free. Do yourself a favor, and at least flip through it! abseil.io/resources/swe-book

This guy deserves every accolade he gets. I went to a Patriots game, in full Patriots colours, with almost 100 other Patriots fans, at Oakland Coliseum. I spent the whole game carefully measuring my actions, purposely not drinking alcohol, …
Patriots owner Robert Kraft has invited this Patriots fan to this weekend’s game at Gillette. Jerry Edmond -at his first NFL game- kept his composure while an obnoxious and aggressive Raiders fan got in his face. I think his 2nd game will be better!

was clearly a single small false move away from a punch up. I’ve never experienced anything like it anywhere in the world - being a visiting fan in a stadium, not in various US states for NFL and MLB, …

and not in Australia for various AFL and cricket matches. Raiders fans are a breed apart, and in my personal experience deserve every piece of bad press they get. If I had been there with my wife or kids, I would have left by the end of the first quarter.

What you measure will improve. The trick is picking the right thing to measure. Spoiler - it’s never LOC.
imagine deciding which engineers to keep around based on lines of code and choosing to keep the ones who wrote the MOST
I think what made me LOL most was that he only took about 4 steps and still missed his mark by like a whole metre

How likely is it that @Lotto_Soudal offered to pay the fines for @alpecinfelix after stage 13? Or at least sent some champagne to their team hotel? #couchpeleton #asksbstdf
