    I really think somebody in Australia oughtta bring @QuinnDunki over for a tech conference. This right here is some pretty inspiring geekery: https://t.co/bGMQXnbK4A

    Went to @GrilldBurgers for lunch and was surprised to see it’s Meat Free Day. No meat on the menu at all! I’m a carnivore but decided to give their veggie burger a shot. It was SO GOOD! Tasty and juicy. If I hadn’t known, I may have even been fooled. Good job Grill’d. 👏🍔 https://t.co/SD4TwPbdZd

    RT @bytebot: A lot has been said about the Uber IPO prospectus but maybe none as cogent as this FT comment. https://t.co/sa3ACm0zTA

    @OphelieLechat Hm. I do still have some graham crackers that my friend brought me from the Philippines last year. Got a preferred recipe? This might be my Easter project. 🙂

    @matthras @StephenKneale @GrilldBurgers I’ve often wondered the same, to be honest. I like meat. But if I can occasionally get a very tasty burger in a more environmentally-friendly and healthy way, I will.

    @claudiablb @ceibner I happened to post a photo of the ones I baked yesterday. 🙂 So I had it handy!

    “When I first read Beverly Cleary’s memoir, I had the electrifying feeling that this was something much darker than Ramona.” https://t.co/2eEyzBaFO3 // Wow. I need to read this. I wrote my college admissions essay about how Ramona was my hero. https://t.co/fyuVN4N2JN

    @i386 LOVE IT.

    @MichelePlayfair @lindamciver Ohmygod. You just gave me the idea to knit the black hole onto things.

    @johnallsopp I was literally listening to this song 10 minutes ago. SYNCHRONICITY.

    Thanks to my in-depth 7-11 cookie investigation yesterday, people seem to think I’m some sort of Cookie Expert. And you know what? I am. I’m the genius that baked both Oreos and Tim Tams in choc chip cookies. So I know what I’m talking about. 🍪👩‍🔬 https://t.co/nlmFuLwQCv

    @jonoabroad @gilmae It’s just generic choc chip cookie recipe. I can’t remember the site I got it from, but if you google “Oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies” you’ll get a zillion of ’em. And then just substitute half a Tim Tam for the Oreo. 🙂

    @yow_conf You know it!

    @keranm @developerjack @minxdragon That’s a good question. Apparently Reddit seemed to think they were unique to this 7-11, but I can’t imagine that’s the case. The kid behind the counter didn’t look like a frustrated patisserie genius.

    My colleague Bobbie will present how he used @awscloud RoboMaker to build his 3d printed autonomous robot arm at the Sydney Summit. You’re not going to want to miss this session! https://t.co/h0d2WASpUi #awssydneysummit2019 #innovatetrack #robots #robomaker #builders #ros https://t.co/1iJ2PAaL8g

    Both @gilmae and @the_snook informed me that the choc chip cookies at the 7-11 near the QVB “have gone viral” on the /r/sydney subreddit. I had to investigate. https://t.co/lHdi3s6pdI

    @gilmae @the_snook Initial recon showed that they weren’t sold out, and that cookies were indeed being fresh baked. I could see a tray of them about to be put in the oven, and the dough looked irregular and fresh rather than frozen disks. https://t.co/c2AQHqHEnm

    @gilmae @the_snook I purchased my cookie. It was indeed still warm, and it left spots of fat and chocolate on the bag. https://t.co/odAvitr2Gd

    @gilmae @msharp @the_snook GIVE ME A MINUTE.

    @gilmae @the_snook The actual cookie. It looks like a cookie. It’s a bit darker than I normally expect a choc chip cookie to be. https://t.co/aCDoL4rh5Q

    @gilmae @the_snook I convened a conclave of experts for the taste test. First was @kezmc, who said she’d have liked it to be chewier, but that it was a “pretty good cookie, something [her] kids would like,” but nothing extraordinary. https://t.co/JMinWtP44T

    @gilmae @the_snook @kezmc Next was Najah, who said that hed have preferred the cookie to be crispier, and that actually he wasn’t a fan of the aroma. https://t.co/6Ps05T3HOe

    @gilmae @the_snook @kezmc And last was Maria, who said she’s really more of an ANZAC biscuit person, so her opinion isn’t super useful anyway. https://t.co/8SjrJ9pWmm

    @gilmae @the_snook @kezmc My verdict: it’s just a cookie. Learn to frickin’ bake, Redditors.

    @jytc_ @gilmae @the_snook Read the thread!

    @BugHunterSam @obrl_soil I’ve won ribbons in the past, but oddly it’s always been the projects I like and wear the least. There’s probably a lesson in that.

    @lucykbain @gilmae @the_snook @kezmc To be fair, I don’t usually eat cookies at cafes/restaurants. I used to be partial to the “Muesli Cookies” at Toby’s, which were these huge solid hockey pucks of oats and fruit. I’ve also been known to enjoy a Florentine now and then (not really a cookie though, right?)

    @hannahyanfield @gilmae @the_snook I really feel like I’m pushing the boundaries of the Twitter format. In a good way.

    @jdub I’ve heard that phrase in the US too, if it matters.

    @Asher_Wolf I was at the Easter Show Arts Preview with @knitterjp and there was some seriously fugly sculpture and I was trying to be polite but this tipsy dude came up and literally said, “WHAT is this SHIT? That looks like a GROWTH!” and we lost it and it made my night. 😂

    Frickin’ brilliant. I love this. (Bad captioning though.) https://t.co/LjuAuwgGTo

    @unixbigot I think it was included, just folded up. Although if they did wait a year? THAT’D BE BRILLIANT.
