A screenshot of a Twitter conversation on a dark mode interface. Astrid (JustSomeDev) @just_some_dev · 23h "hey @awscloud, the certificate for calculator.amazonaws.cn seems to have expired" Astrid (JustSomeDev) @just_some_dev · 23h "cc @AWSSupport" AWS Support @AWSSupport · 4m (with a gold checkmark badge and a small AWS logo next to the name) "Hi Astrid, Our current Pricing Calculator can be found here: go.aws/4978T5e. If you're referring to a specific service calculator not related to the link shared, please feel free to provide further details via DM. ^LG" Below this tweet is a blue button that says "Send us a private message". Astrid (JustSomeDev) @just_some_dev "It's working again, but I was referring to the AWS China calculator. That is the global one, not AWS China. The AWS China calculator (on the official AWS China domain) calculates for China."

My landlord and all his staff is going abroad to somewhere in a 4 hour time delta and poor signal and a 4 hour time difference. Where do we reckon chat? My first thought was NYC to help campaign for the pro landlord lot becoming mayor, but bad signal idk 🤣
Emails and my phone will be monitored as regularly as possible; we will be in an area with poor connection and poor WIFI signals along with a time difference of 4 hours ahead so contacting us directly maybe difficult.

I have SO many questions
A busy eBay listing shows a large job lot of mixed items spread across a light grey floor against a white brick wall. The items include homeware, household goods, toys, gifts, and electronics. Visible items include a vintage 'Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe' movie poster, several bottles of Heinz Ketchup, white trainers, a dark grey backpack, a light pink fluffy blanket, a tennis racket, a wooden chopping board, and various boxed and packaged goods. The listing title reads 'Job Lot Mixed Items Homeware Household Toys Gifts Electronics COLLECTION ONLY' for £25.00 from 'Sussex Police Auctions' in Brighton, East Sussex. The item has 6 bids and ends in 5 days 23 hours.

XChat uses a proprietary protocol without many of the security features of the Signal protocol such as forward secrecy and post compromise security. It’s glass houses when you have a crappy protocol instead of the Signal protocol and you dunk on a service because they couldn’t pass packets around.

No Tim, the ban was to protect us from them (and our own hooligans that went to support them). Trying to bad faith this statement for political points doesn't make you come off good.
Ayoub Khan MP was far more honest than most regarding the Maccabi Tel Aviv ban. Look at his original statement below. The ban is because of ‘the political dynamics…’ In other words, the ban is not to protect us from them, but them from us…which remains utterly shameful. *statement*

object with multiple promises (its only sending a longer payload at the beginning because the user didn't send back the same schema hash in this case, so it reflects what it has)
