Not to mention that without announcer, one could not just listen to the show because stories were introduced with graphics & text - yet the iron was that there was NEVER anything new to learn!!

Can you imagine how President Hillary Clinton - a Woman with a powerful mind - would have handled this pandemic? Being a mother and grandmother, she would’ve instinctively taken care of the public health of the people of the United States.

I haven't always appreciated Linode but they are without a doubt the most capable, professional, friendly, kind, thoughtful company I have ever dealt with, ever, for anything. Ever. They will seriously restore your faith in everything, everywhere, forever. 🕺🌈

They scheduled patches for a hw problem just before gay pride last year (50th) & I was hosting a very large site, for a huge club here in NYC (sending >1m emails/mo.) Moved VPS to patched server 2 wks early w/o a single hiccup. <25 min downtime in 12+ years. 0 bytes data lost.

What's truly awesome about @linode? When they have maintenance to perform on your machine, they notify you WELL in advance, and as a matter of routine policy if the schedule is a problem, they set you up with a script to move you to an already patched machine. Seamless!

As god is my witness, he waived the next month's charges in advance as well. I spend $60/mo at @Linode and I have referred exactly one customer who spends the same. (I have a hard time convincing people, why I do not know.) He said that should give some time to catch a breath.

@Linode 's reply - and I'm talking about someone you'd encounter as part of their service team - was that I'd been a loyal customer now for 6 years and he sympathized, so to take some of the heat off me, he was waiving the current charges.

I had to email @Linode let them know I was waiting on yet another credit card replacement and I'd pay the bill a few days late. This has happened an unreasonable amount of times in the past few years.

@AskAmex Amex Serve customer service picked up after 2 hours and 40 minutes. Solved our problem in < 3 minutes. Wow.

@mikewystrach Sorry this saga via twitter. But who's manning the email and what's your office's email to escalate a problem after 3 strikes, you know?

@mikewystrach This hassle = WAY more than your customers should have to deal with; hopefully to be resolved. PS teh boxes are CRAZY heavy. Don't go all Amazon Warehouse on them. Thx.

@mikewystrach in 5 years time who's gonna take those calls from ER DRs RNs? I'm trying to keep stitches in place, but I was, in the moment, trying to get the package to my door before it was stolen. So I could eat. To heal. To thrive. Avg life of unattended parcels? ~ 10 mins.

@mikewystrach I couldn't find any kind of way to escalate our problem simply so I could be done with it; but then I wondered who at freshly takes the calls for real emergencies; like when someone has a severe reaction to something after something they ate.

@mikewystrach about the the physical well being of your customers. Think about the people using the service that need to, not because they can simply afford to. Deliveries go into a mailbox or are brought to the apt door, why am I explaining this? It's not a spec instruction

@mikewystrach once banging on the door freaking out all the dogs on the floor esp. mine (1x box was delivered) How'd @getFreshly get this far that even a single driver thinks it's ok to be that disrespectful to your valuable work/property to leave it for a thief or indifferent

@mikewystrach Tenants look = not theirs, but making note bc nobody wants that kind of trouble. The boxes are TOO HEAVY, man. He has a handtruck. Not buying one to transport food via elevator to 4th floor. A different hassle every week, buzzing uncontrollably,
