Hi @x, please reinstate the @seamlessbayarea account! All we did was report a fraudulent account that was using our brand & name - we didn't violate any rules.
It's clearly a mixup. But it's been over 72hrs since our appeal; we still got no explanation of what rules we broke.1/2
Officially fully vaccinated today! It’s been a long year (and I had a job, housing, and did not catch COVID) but am hopeful we can beat COVID and rebuild together…

Today received an email that I have an EOB (from my health insurance). Logged in, my documents page says I have an EOB from June 4, the EOB itself says it was generated May 22, and it was for a health education class I took August 5th of last year. Perhaps some system delays?

Well if you were looking for a Mac the borrows a lot of its look for iOS, here you go. —DM
Catching up on RSS feeds (had 10k unread); am now at a month ago where the articles are about Buttigieg and finding people to do your taxes and it is surreal. Also: Descriptions of large group gatherings from early March made me extremely uncomfortable.

If this tweet gets 100 RTs before the Shelter in Place Order takes effect (12:01am 3/17), @EvilleAlly and I will make an instructional video related to Sheltering in Place and set to music (which we may let you vote on) in the next week. We will post it here.

yearly reminder: when you pay turbotax money to do your taxes, you are in part paying for the tax system to remain complicated enough for turbotax to stay in business.
taxes for most people could take 0-5min but turbotax lobbies against it

If I ever imply that I’m going to use the Mac Migration Assistant *without* Target Disk Mode please just hit me on the head; it will save time and anguish.

👎🏼 @SFBART pulling out of Millbrae just as (5-min late Baby Bullet) @Caltrain comes in. 👍🏼 @SamTrans SFO bus leaves before next BART and costs half as much. Happy about options, sad about coordination (and lots of ppl with luggage waiting for next BART). @seamlessbayarea

Very ambitious story on how much harder it is to achieve the California Dream now than in the 1960s by pal @mlevinreports calmatters.org/articles/digg…
A free transfer (my first!) and WiFi on both legs makes the @VTA 902 + 200 dance a lot nicer...

REMINDER: The advice "always store dates/times in UTC" is shortsighted. Valid uses of local time include scheduling, birth dates, and more.
