Question for those that use metric natively:
When faced with numbers near unit barriers (1mm, 1m, 1km etc), when do you switch to using that unit as the base? For example, would you say 900m or .9km? 1100m or 1.1km? 1200? 1500?
My guess would be that it's region specific?
I thought I was getting used to and maybe even getting good at roundabouts, but then this... wat? @xrobau @dan_jenkins or any other aussies/brits with input?
The best part about having to test a bunch of different phones is having and being able to use super fancy $1,000 touchscreen conference phones as a Bluetooth speaker for a Thanksgiving family cellphone call.
Who would I need to petition to get an "👋all this👋" emoji, for all of the current goings on in the world? "🧨" isn't quite enough.

How fun! The power of open source! (Except for the callers who thought Citibank was hacked) Cc @jsmith @voicegal businessinsider.com/citi-cus…
My wife, her family, and I have used this for game night* a few times, with great success. Being able to do video conferencing in-browser without apps or extensions made it easy enough for the otherwise tech-incompetent among us.
*By game night, I really mean excuse for wine.
Today we're excited to launch Sangoma Meet, a free video conferencing service for everyone! That means you, your colleagues, your friends & family! Read the news release at ow.ly/SC6O30qzZ8f #SangomaMeet #videoconference
The mailman stopped by my house this afternoon and left a wonderful surprise from @queuemetrics / Loway.
This is an enormous (3lb!) cookie cake from @Bearkery @fredposner
Thanks so much @lenz! It will be consumed immediately.
My son, 3, discovered that if you honk the horn quickly a few times, his toy car will get into an infinite light/sound loop and need to be restarted.

YEAH OK I GOT IT, MEETING IN 10
11 minutes later:
OH FUCK MY MEETING
I think it's safe to assume that the 3rd floor hotel bar (there are stairs in the lobby) shall be the central meeting place, as it has an entrance directly into The Battery.
All in favor? Good. It is hereby declared.

I'm about ready to take the extraordinarily long trip to #astricon. It'll definitely be a record for travel distance for me this year.
If everything is on time, with no delays, I should be there in about...2 hours. Most of which is doing laundry. My drive from home is < 10mins.
