How are you storing #passwords and #2FA keys? What made you choose that solution and have you considered what would happen in life altering situations like, hardware failure, theft, fire, divorce, death? If you're using an online solution, has it been #hacked and how did that impact you?

While Australian politicians are slapping themselves on the back for Julian Assange's release I'm sure David McBride and Richard Boyle would like a word #auspol

Oh for a movie experience like this:

So my girlfriend is French and hasn’t heard of Apollo 13 and so while we’re watching it she has no idea how it’s going to end. I am predicting she’s going to scream and cheer at splashdown

Does anyone know why I have to regularly reset my "new" #Siri #remote control for my #AppleTV using the TV and Volume Down buttons simultaneously? It's bloody annoying when you're watching something and you need to reset your remote to change the volume on your #infrared controlled amplifier.

CHALLENGES FOR DISABLED FOLKS: More people are outside now, enjoying nicer weather. Many of us forget there are folks with disabilities, some of which are hidden. Please be kind... I like this U.K. bumper sticker: "I don't look disabled? You don't look like a twat. But there you go." :-)}

There is someone has requested Cameos from me twice now just to ask me to read certain poems to them. I wish more people would do that, TBH

This would have been excellent information when I left primary school many decades ago. It's great that your son got it before their journey started.

My son’s art teacher, Mrs. G, gave these last thoughts to them on their final day. Outstanding #teachers #teachersrock

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Is it okay if the tests agreed to during your specialist medical appointment haven't even been transcribed, let alone ordered, six weeks after your appointment?

Is it okay if the specialist takes a phone call and answers several messages during your medical appointment?
