Covered Parking continues to be a challenge at @INDairport doesn’t matter if there is a big event or not. Valet had a sign stating some vehicles may be parked outside - what? I park at Valet for convenience and belief my vehicle may be watched over better than an unattended area. Why would I pay Valet prices to expose my vehicle to spring storms like the recent hail and tornadoes.! Crazy!

. @SouthwestAir Why have boarding times if you don’t adhere to them? Flight 969 boards 10 minutes early. That damages the value of my ticket, status not to mention I left a venti latte at Starbucks as I ran to join the line.

Let me update this to say Kimberly had someone get my drink at Starbucks. I’m simply got … such a considerate human thing to do! So few people would do this let alone follow through! She gets a lifetime gold star from me! @SouthwestAir

Feedback @SouthwestAir I’ve begun asking people if they like this inflight snack. 70% do not which includes me. Starts with the annoying seasoning.

This is what seat assignments look like @SouthwestAir I’m having to fly another airline and it’s like 5 pm LA traffic. Not moving! Keep open seating!

I can't stand Donald Trump. He is braggy, he insults people for no reason, and he is just a brutal personality. But my mind is made up. I'm voting for him and here's why: * He puts Americans and their well-being first. Kamala will not. * He will bring @elonmusk into his cabinet to be the efficiency czar and get rid of waste. This alone may be the best single reason to vote for him. * He will bring @RobertKennedyJr into his cabinet to Make American Healthy Again. He will finally get to the bottom of why our food companies are destroying the health of our children. * I'm sick of the way the media lies continuously about @realDonaldTrump, starting with the incessant racism claims. They are just nonsense. The latest thing I learned? He sent his plane to fly Nelson Mandela home after he was in jail with the U.S. wouldn't do it. Racist? No. * I'm sick of the U.S. being embroiled in foreign wars. Trump will keep us out of them again. He's just crazy enough that foreign nations will stand down. They have no fear of Kamala. They will fear him. * Trump sees this country as fundamentally good. Kamala sees it as inherently evil. * Trump will end the nonsense of the open border which makes our country less secure, less financially stable, and brings in millions of people illegally who compete for Americans' jobs. * This government has to print billions to care for the illegals. That makes all of our dollars less valuable and makes prices zoom upward. * He will stockpile Bitcoin. * He will keep men out of women's bathrooms and women's sports. * He is a heavyweight personality and negotiator. Kamala is a phony personality and a lightweight negotiator. * The people who want Kamala Harris to win are the most annoying people in the country. They have pushed for pronouns, masks, endless vaccines, cancel culture, riots, blatant racism towards whites, gender confusion, undermining the U.S. constitution. * He will upset the current political system. He was nearly the victim of assassination 3x. And he keeps going. He's not the best in interviews, but he at least puts himself out there. Over and over and over. Kamala hasn't done a single press conference. * Harris and the media trying to prop her up hid Biden's cognitive decline. They accuse @realDonaldTrump of being a threat to democracy. Yet she was installed as the nominee with no votes. She wants to pack the Supreme Court. She wants to eliminate the filibuster. She sued @RobertKennedyJr to keep him off the ballot. And the threat to democracy is Trump? Nonsense. * Those who support Harris look at Trump supports as vile, stupid, ignorant, and fascists. They disown family members or disinvite them from Thanksgiving dinner of they support Trump. This is disgraceful. * Every time she talks, I try to give her a chance. But she is the most phony and condescending politician I have ever seen. Ever. I can't do it. I won't do it. * She and those who support her are resistant to Voter ID and believe requiring an ID is racist. Her Department of Justice is suing the state of Virginia for trying to purge the voter rolls of illegals. Why would we not want 1 vote per 1 U.S. citizen? Is it more racist to believe people from the inner city are perfectly capable of securing a government issued ID? Or to believe they are incapable? That's it. I'm done. Thanks for hearing me out.

Optimus just poured a drink and didn’t ask for a 25% tip on an iPad. Just put $10M more into Tesla stock

Are companies finally beginning to understand that SAP RISE is NOT the only option to run SAP HANA and are companies finally beginning to push back on SAP for their "the only answer is SAP RISE, now what is the question?" approach? The simple fact there is NO mechanism to control inflationary costs should be enough to make most clients pause!

Kyndryl acquires Skytap. Probably best for Azure. Kyndryl was a terrible partner to IBM. When they were GTS, it was the same as competing against competitors. They’d prefer to sell Azure vs IBM cloud. Skytap looks great but I’ve never been impressed with their Power offering. IBMs PowerVS is definitely more enterprise capable.

Mrs Powerman absolutely loves her @roborockglobal Q7 Max robotic vacuum. She ranks below the grandkids, above me and probably tied with the dog.

New flight rescheduling policy for @SouthwestAir 1) Customer books their flight 2) Southwest delays flight 3) Southwest rebooks you to an earlier flight that you physically can't make 4) Southwest says they've met their obligation so be grateful .... here's $50 in LUV vouchers, go away and shut up!

Educated SAP clients at a dozen ASUG chapter meetings about the optimal platform for SAP HANA. #IBMPower is available to host HANA on-premises, private/public cloud and SAP RISE in IBM Cloud. Choose HANA? Then choose a platform meeting your needs, not SAPs revenue targets! @IBMChampions

Overwhelming sentiment heard from SAP shops while attending more than a dozen ASUG chapter meetings. Clients resent SAP for their tactics selling SAP RISE. Listen to SAP and the ONLY answer is RISE. Show them your need, SAP calls it a nail then brings out a sledge hammer!
