      What an insane game to wrap up the #SixNations! If Scotland had beaten Ireland that would’ve been a tough, tough pill to swallow.

      I just need a few more of you to migrate to @vitest.dev so I can prove that crystal balls work 🔮 😉

      new studio gear! we use the @caldigit.com TS5+ dock to keep workstations clear and power the extra monitors we use for Web Dev Challenge
      
      it’s a fantastic upgrade & I’m so grateful to Kosta + the rest of the CalDigit team for partnering with us to equip all the workstations in the @codetv.dev studio

      I believe my government will work to make it as hard as possible for me to vote. I know we are not supposed to comply in advance, but at this point I feel I must be prepared to jump through every hoop possible.

      Games are being played with your right to vote. I know it's not possible for everyone, but I'm making sure I got all my paper work in order. Voter registration, certified copies of my birth certificate, Real ID, and U.S. passport.
      
      And the start of early voting is marked on my calendar. No excuses.
