    Said goodbye to my Valentine for a few days… ❤️ (“Why does my head always look so huge in our photos? Stick your face out more!” 😂) @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/mYmlmWzB0l


    Me: Clint sure likes using emoji.
    Rodd: I think the only valid response is “I’m feeling lucky.” 😂 https://t.co/pmDEYatDP2


    The kid in front of me at check-in got some gifts from the agent. “Awww, ich will Tattoos auch!” I joked. SCORE! 😍 @ Munich Airport https://t.co/ChDQhIzSwF


    Entire row to myself, with rows ahead and behind free. Everything’s turning up Milhouse today! ✈️ @ Munich Airport https://t.co/rlv4YsEMUj

    The @United app keeps telling me to put in a credit card so I can buy food on the plane, yet the billing address form only lists North American countries. So there’s no way for Europeans to buy food on US domestic flights, apparently. 🤷‍♀️


    @MichelePlayfair @mishmashtan LOOK AT HIS LITTLE BUTT!! 😍🥚🍑

    @wolkencode @dtraub Oh no! Sorry to hear it. Would love to volunteer but we will both be travelling on Monday for a work thing. 🙁 We can ask internally for you…


    @FrankPrechtel I’ve shared that internally Frank – will let you know ASAP if I get anyone interested!

    This prompted a vigorous lunchtime debate with @the_snook. Happily, we are in agreement and we are a “style.css” household. #nodivorcetoday https://t.co/mQYSyYhDOp


    @Doctor_Astro Love 👏 to 👏 see 👏 it! 👏


    @devdevcharlie I missed the news, but sounds like a little vacation is sorely needed. Enjoy and take care Charlie!

    @jenlooper I’m sewing sock monkeys. I ran out of polyfill and had to buy more. 😳


    @knitcodemonkey @jenlooper @mellowbeing I… actually started building the thing you want last year, @mellowbeing. I got it to where it can reliably identify 5 basic stitches. Next step is to increase the amount of training data! https://t.co/M0MT99uOkB


    @jenlooper @knitcodemonkey @mellowbeing Nice! Pretty much the same procedure I followed, except on AWS. Hardest part is always finding decent training data and getting it labelled. I had a volunteer task force of knitters helping me with it. 🙂


    @jenlooper @knitcodemonkey @mellowbeing @JanelleCShane Yep! She sent me some very helpful whitepapers about knitting and ML back when I kicked off my project in 2019. But creating weird patterns is more fun than trying to decipher fuzzy floppy photos of knitting. 😂


    Yep. Grocery store, all through high school. https://t.co/N9r92ujg60

    Back in Australia I used to be the first one to wish you a happy birthday, so maybe this year I’ll take advantage of my disorganisation to be the last. 😂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

    @jeamland Aircon costs? (Do they even turn on aircon for kiddos?)


    @dnsmichi @shakalandy Thanks Michi! @dtraub and I will link into this…


    RT @collinsadam: Watched this earlier – tough to recall a more moving, powerful and unexpectedly stirring parliamentary speech. A reminder…


    “We are the Australia of Storm Boy, of Breaker Morant, of Puberty Blues and Priscilla Queen of the Desert.” Bloody hell. Well said. https://t.co/eGCfg3IHuc
