Did you take an @awscloud training course or get a certification that led to a promotion or new job working with the cloud? Drop me or @Vel12171 a DM – there’s a very special project happening! πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€πŸŽ“πŸ§‘πŸΎβ€πŸŽ“πŸ‘¨πŸΏβ€πŸŽ“


Me: Hey, shine your phone light down my throat and see if it looks infected?
The Snook: YES!

Damn. Video call with doctor booked this morning. πŸ€’


Outcome: doctor thinks it’s viral and wants me to rest and not talk for five days.

ME. NOT TALK. FIVE DAYS. 😳


@mmastertheone Rodd is very amused by this state of affairs.


@misswired @stufromoz Apparently this is, like, the minimum. Normally German doctors prescribe like a week of bed rest for pretty much anything, my colleagues say.


@anshumalis Maybe I can get that Colonel Sanders voice going…


TIL that the iOS Translate app has text-to-speech, this solving my need to communicate and improving @the_snook’s German. πŸ˜β˜•οΈ https://t.co/70gfyARvNO


This is the face of a man whose wife has been forbidden to speak for FIVE DAYS by her doctor. β€œAhhhh, sehr ruhig!” 🀐 @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/NK0171540T


@randomknits @the_snook Suddenly, he’s very talkative. Our whole dynamic is changing. πŸ™ƒ


4 – liver (not an offal fan), celery (DEVIL WEED), watermelon (never really cared for it), snails (but I think I tried them once and they were okay?). Honestly, this all seems like VERY normal food to me. I was a picky eater as a kid, but damn, evidently I’m not as an adult! https://t.co/yoItWROcJl


@steven_bryen HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE SCURVY STEVEN


@JessicaFGWrites I know you’re not supposed to judge picky eaters… but I confess I do. How are these people not sick constantly? That’s practically disordered eating, right?


@frconil Yes. I was waiting for the “chicken hearts” and “natto” and “durian” tbh. But, like, strawberries and tofu?
