What would it take to add another dimension to my model? This would have to be some truly #BigDeal, and if I knew what it was, I'd be talking to #VCs to get it done. However, I suspect it will have something to do with a lateral exchange in information. 12/16

Having two #mums in 2024 shouldn’t be a #bigdeal, so why does it still feel that way?

So, last week I got a TP-Link 2.5gbps router from Amazon. Got it next-day (w/Prime). Plugged it in, power went on. Plugged in ethernet cables, no lights at all on the ports.

Sent it back.

Ordered another (cos amazon didn't have option for "replace" instead of refund.)

New one - when ordered with Prime again - was $50 off for Prime #BigDeal day or whatever the hell it is. It won't ship til Monday - for arrival Tuesday! WTF Amazon?

Also, hope it's not broken too!

I want to express sincere gratitude as a #mastodon #newbie to the more established users, who were happily #tooting before the #TwitterExodus & #TwitterMigration kicked right off. The #WarmWelcomes to the #newcomers like me, & the kind offers of #MastodonTips #patience & general #friendliness are genuinely appreciated

Personally speaking, this has made getting involved with my own #tooting & feeling #connected much easier, which is kind of a #BigDeal for me as a #neurodiverse #ActuallyAutistic person

#thanks 💛✌️
