Hey @CA_DMV, I’ve just had two of the worst customer service experiences of my life with your chat rep and now a phone rep. Just trying to get a DL renewal and your teams are woefully unhelpful and rude.

Something that hasn’t been mentioned in all this @SVB_Financial craziness - they’re one of the largest lenders to the boutique wine sector. Lots of great brands for an acquirer to go pick up!

Christmas Eve Dinner this year - Prime Rib. But cooking times are all over the map online. At 325F degrees, websites claim anywhere from 12 - 25 mins / lb. What's the right answer? cc: @chefjoseandres @RichardBlais @MVoltaggio @fwscout?
