    • This is high risk but I've done a brain dump on what I like and don't like here

  • Electronics

    • One thing I never seem to run out of is charger plugs like this one which are A) Super small, B) From a reliable brand, C) 65w or higher, and D) Have 2 usb-c outlets. I don't like the ones that work in every country because they're so clunky, so I tend to just have each of the 3 different plug type - EU, IE, and US. The EU one is usually best to have multiple of - I only really need one of each of the other types.

  • Resintek "Liquid Wax": I found this in the Philippines and it's by far the best hair product I've used. I used to buy it on Amazon NL but it looks like they stopped selling it, and I also checked a half dozen online stores where it's also out of stock, so we may need to go the international route. Seb man has other products but it's this one specifically - in the pointy applicator bottle, that I'm looking for

  • Today's issue related to Revolut.

    • Receive email - "You need to update your info to keep using the service"

    • Click through, scan qr code, open the app.

    • Brings me to a UI to add my details. Looks like it's for the trading account specifically.

    • The only unfilled field is Nationality.

    • Click in, select Ireland, go back to main screen.

    • But the main screen still hasn't updated, and still shows "Add Nationality"

    • Repeat this 4 or 5 times - doesn't work

    • Now I have to spend time reaching out to live chat, explaining the issue, because of a bug they have. And if I don't do that they threaten to shut down my account 🤦‍♂️

    • Call: Tony Alex Megan Ciaran Call - call notes logged separately

    • Update: Karlo available to start next Wednesday. Still needs to confirm contract but provisionally pencilled in

  • Update: Tony & Megan both posted into internal channel - snippets:

    • Megan: Shared the spec of backend sims

    • Tony: Priorities are:

      • Jen - pick up and finish Jason's ticket plz. After that plz start to look at the chrome extension ticket

      • Joey - let us know (roughly) how long you have left in your backend ticket

      • Lastly, I think we should do a call to disseminate all the context Megan & myself have gathered on the backend sims product, which is quite technical. Any chance tomorrow would suit people any time from 5:30 to 7pm Manila?
