It was a lot of fun participating in the Biomarker workshop panel at #ASMS2025.

Thank you to all of you who were there!

Also, they got some pictures:

It would be nice to order something like this for lunch today, but I put in healthy lunch. 🫣

Maybe I'll order it anyway. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ As a second, mid-afternoon lunch. πŸ€”

I am not trying to gate keep.

I think most QAs who have done the job for at least a few months will understand what motivates me in saying what I did in the above comment.

I agree with you, but I would extend it to all Jira tickets that need to be actioned by Developers.

It's hard enough to get Developers to read tickets. The more summarized the Description field is (& the less text it contains), the better. πŸ™‚πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Q&A from a talk I gave last week.

Q: "What do you think is the biggest threat in cybersecurity right now? Is it post-quantum computing? Is it AI?"

A: Fascism. It's fascism.

Please spread the word this BS is going around trying to con people into thinking there is a mystical magical platform that makes you millions in crypto in months. The stories are posing as the BBC and are all over X and IG.

It doesn’t read like a bbc article but people will fall for this.

Going to do a detailed writeup of the outage this week. Just need to land some mitigations before we talk about it

I'm getting the magnesium & vitamin B6 in a Vital product now, called Magnesium Complex.

I am currently taking magnesium. πŸ™‚

In 2016 I started taking a multivitamin. I needed magnesium because I was getting cramps in my legs.

In the process I discovered that if I took both magnesium & vitamin B6, it improved my focus.

Thank you for this thread. I haven't read all of it yet.

My sensory overload was occurring more often. In desperation I started using a supplement containing potassium sulphate.

I've been using it for about a month. I haven't had an episode since then. I also use other mitigation strategies.

Reminds me of one in Table View. I think you can see city and the mountain from that one.
