Last Notes npub1zz9xakag04nqk8ywjw23katmhdjhk0lelmg44pa46wxjgzdtcp6qg3xthg Carl Malamud Here's a thought. Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren. Thinking the VP debate would be spectacular. Also, one hell of a ticket. npub1zz9xakag04nqk8ywjw23katmhdjhk0lelmg44pa46wxjgzdtcp6qg3xthg Carl Malamud Then, something clicked. I called the purser over and told him I had been in the same plane coming in. He was doubtful (what are the chances!) but went and checked. When he came back I asked him “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” Sure enough, we hit cruising altitude and it was working fine. I told the purser I’d send him my bill. npub1zz9xakag04nqk8ywjw23katmhdjhk0lelmg44pa46wxjgzdtcp6qg3xthg Carl Malamud As I was getting off the plane in Dubai, the ground crew remarked this was the same plane that would take me to San Francisco. Interesting bit of trivia I thought. When I boarded the SFO flight, the pilot came on the intercom to say there was going to be no WiFi on this flight as it was broken. 15.5 hours with no WiFi. Ouch. npub1zz9xakag04nqk8ywjw23katmhdjhk0lelmg44pa46wxjgzdtcp6qg3xthg Carl Malamud Totally love the new terminal at the Bangalore Airport. Not only do they do the garden city thing for real, security and immigration is super quick. https://official.resource.org/system/media_attachments/files/112/668/251/090/480/001/original/3d08f15f8ecdc3c1.jpeg https://official.resource.org/system/media_attachments/files/112/668/251/282/952/685/original/9e9acf2398559372.jpeg https://official.resource.org/system/media_attachments/files/112/668/251/359/618/155/original/eebf39140872055c.jpeg npub1zz9xakag04nqk8ywjw23katmhdjhk0lelmg44pa46wxjgzdtcp6qg3xthg Carl Malamud Air France flight leaving soon and some very pushy people of the French persuasion tried to cut me off at security. French was my first language and I can swear like a sailor. Needless to say they were taken aback and let me through. Did my George Clooney impression through all the formalities and have arrived at the lounge where both the bartenders smiled and said “Welcome back, Sir!” npub1zz9xakag04nqk8ywjw23katmhdjhk0lelmg44pa46wxjgzdtcp6qg3xthg Carl Malamud Heading to Kempegowda International Teleportation Station where I will board my Krasnikov Tube to return to the planet of California. The entrance looks like a police box, but don't be fooled. npub1zz9xakag04nqk8ywjw23katmhdjhk0lelmg44pa46wxjgzdtcp6qg3xthg Carl Malamud @npub1k4u…0yfm Ha ha. Would love to see a floor fight.

Tell them if they don’t like it they can complain to the Bureau of Anarchy and get your license revoked. npub1zz9xakag04nqk8ywjw23katmhdjhk0lelmg44pa46wxjgzdtcp6qg3xthg Carl Malamud @npub1eys…6x02 I spent a few months on the Mozilla board when it was just getting started and I bailed very quickly.

I can do cooked street food, and fruits as long as I'm careful.

Steamed bread stuffed with walnuts and spices. Served with ghee, mint chutney, and pomegranate chutney. To make pomegranate chutney, you blend pomegranate seeds and white poppy seeds (you can use sesame seeds), then add lots of chile and salt.

Seen a few hundred people belly up to the bar. It is an open bar for business class. Bartenders are whirling dervishes, working really hard. People asking stupid questions like “do you only have India wines” and “may I taste it please?” Not a single person tipping. No wonder the bartenders remember me. What’s the matter with people?
