       | soundbar, tv remote,...) is to measure with a microphone.

       | want the volume to be". Seems pretty intuitive.

       | Why not just link to the original reddit thread in the tweet?

         | having them all in a row in a tweet thread.

           | thread.

         | Over 400 replies and no way to conveniently filter, sort, or
         | search. Not worth it.

           | HN has similar issues, although here it's minimalism by
           | design.

       | I don't have a log in, and saw, Elon tweet, about 5 Andrew Tate
       | tweets, anti trans, some sort of return to classism thing?
       | 
       | Funny thread but holy hell I knew twitter was making sure there
       | was always an Elon tweet or something but.... Like it's almost
       | like a troll what is there now!

         | It's kind of weird that you saw those. I got to the end and saw
         | "More Tweets" and left. I had to go back and scroll further
         | down to even see what you were talking about.

           | Well, I will also in future, lesson learned here.
           | 
           | I guess I though the "more tweets" would have something
           | related to the thread I was just looking at, they really
           | didn't!
