All those people posting takes of “all the people saying twitter will crash and die are wrong, it works fine!” Are you all using the same app I am, because I am seeing the “an error occurred. Try again?” about 50% of the time now and increasing

Hey, @aaronpk Will you ever update your LiveChat overlay or open it up to allow CSS updates?

Update it to do what? I've pushed out a few updates for new features.

It's also open source if you want to totally customize it. I'm open to feature suggestions too, feel free to add an issue on the GitHub!

Sometimes I see posts on here like “mastodon is too serious and businesslike, it needs more selfies and shitposts” and I’m like are we even using the same website but then I remember we very literally are not

Elon Musk called Trent Reznor a "crybaby" for deleting his Twitter account. Wil Wheaton then wrote this incisive summary of the man-child that is Elon Musk.

App ideas for dog owners:

- type in a movie and find out when/if there are animal noises that will freak them out
- scan your leftovers, see if anything bad for dogs in there
- collar sensor, alerts when they are in cute/weird positions that are amusing

I was trying to figure out how these were related 😅

Want more customers?

Go deeper. Understand what motivates them. How will they be transformed by what you do?

Don't talk about what you do. This is a self-centered approach to marketing and could be the reason why you don't have a line of customers waiting to hire you.

What does Home Depot know that you don't when it comes to branding & marketing?

1. They understand who their customers are.
2. They understand what they want/need.
3. They understand what their goals are and the transformation they desire.

No one wants to hang a shelf.
They want to get organized, and to feel a sense of accomplishment.

So if you're a national home improvement chain, what should your tagline be?

You can do it. We can help.™

Why people buy—
No one buys a drill bit because they want a sharp bit.
They buy a drill bit because they want to make a hole in the wall.

No one wants to make a hole in the wall.
They want to hang a shelf.

Habanero Hot Sauce

Made 108oz hot sauce.

The store was low on habanero peppers so about half of this is red Fresno peppers, and it's noticeably more red than normal.

I forgot to use an apple this time, and also used just 2tsp corn starch. It seemed to work fine though, especially after blending.
