Happy Easter
I shudder to think what kinds of candy you’re eating this week.

There are some people & orgs whom I cannot add to a list.
Some lists are also maxing out. I guess this glitch is why I abandoned lists in the past. I’ll have to retry on the desktop.

This is so useful, Vinny. Thank you!

I don’t think I’ve ever created a list from within twitter. I thought those were for other people to read. I’ve only bookmarked people I want to check up on if they don’t come up in my feed. I should try that. A google search confirms what you said. it reads X Lists allow you to customize, organize ...

+1 Same!

I often search for certain topics and view that way.
And, I look up people whom I follow but who are not in the feed for whatever reason.

They’re playing ‘Men Without Hats’ on the radio. That’s about as close as I’ll probably get to Ukraine at this point

Be forewarned: I usually feel worse after spending time on X

I shouldn’t use twitter as a source though it is photographic evidence. London has Ramadan street lighting and no Easter signs whatsover. That’s … weird.

I haven’t. I found Russian passport control mildly intimidating. Compared to that of other countries, anyway.
Prewar, a friend of mine went to Ukraine for genealogical research. My cousin went for the same reason.

^ Excellent ^

How hard was it to get into Ukraine?
If you hadn’t yet tied the knot, you couldn’t say you were visiting family. I’m sure there are tons of Canadian passport holders who visit Ukraine every day because of the diaspora population. But, were there a lot of forms?

The head of the Russian Orthodox Church is kind of like a Chinese-appointed Dalai Lama.

Something very satisfying about tech nostalgia. There's a fairly new video about the Texas Instruments computer (TI-99) as a "failure" on youtube, but I and a lot of other people had a great young adulthood learning BASIC on it. One of the things I miss about the old days was the boatload...

I wonder what SBF is thinking right now. From billionaire business prodigy to prison. Can't imagine that would put anyone on anything less than suicide watch. Don't know what he's thinking, but I remember listening to him on Sam Harris' podcast and not liking him. Not his philosophy -- too good to ...

Thank you, 425

Love that guy.

Interesting property of Bitcoin is that, like other commodities, as the price rises, more miners come online because it is now profitable where it wasn’t before. Likewise, hard to access gold becomes more worthwhile to dig up. However, with Bitcoin, the miners are competing for their share of daily...

I had created an account with login dot gov, but it wouldn’t send me on to the U.S. Treasury. Kept throwing a System Error.
Eventually, I was able to log in the old way, which I guess means my browser was recognized by login dot gov.

Must be! Thanks.

It wasn’t down for me, at least, but I did have to kind of break into it despite having the password.

I love rashist by the way.
