Whitefish, MT / Austin, TX
Imagine being a Waymo, with all of your protrusions and cameras and such, pulling up to an intersection next to a sleek Cybercab with no steering wheel. I would be so embarassed.

First time in a car with no steering wheel and the main thing my mind honed in on was the lack of rear view mirrors when it changed lanes.

Am I just so online that I can immediately spot this as AI slop or does everyone else see it too?

Post-workout, post-lunch nap is GOATed. Perhaps second only to the post-long-run-couch-half-nap.

This is one of my favorite purchases ever. I’ve had a regular label maker in austin forever. Needed one in MT. This one has single labels or continuous. And an (ugly but good) app if you want to make special labels. Otherwise super easy and dirt cheap.

Had lunch recently with a connected guy in Whitefish. Noted that there are only about a dozen g800s in the world and five of them were parked at our airport. …right by the private 757 that basically lives here. And a 737 business. No wonder the private terminal is expanding.

Autopilot has saved me $2k this year. Reminds me of paribus that scanned your email receipts and requested refunds for discounts from amazon which single handedly led amazon to remove item detail from email receipts. I don't see any way the airlines let this continue.

One of the easiest ways to start eating healthier, especially breakfast and lunch, is to make extra everything any time you cook (and buy quality ingredients in the first place)

Some days I'm on the phone all day and my iPhone is at 80% at 5pm, other days I leave my house and get to the corner and it's at 10% by 9am. I don't understand this phone.

If you ask an AI model an unclear question it can go off, pondering something unrelated to what you want to investigate, and the response will surprise you. This is, in many ways, its most human-like feature. Using models heavily has made me a much better human question asker.

I appreciate that google correctly classifies these calendar invites as spam. I do not appreciate that google puts the spam calendar invites on my calendar anyway.

Optimistic that this marks the end of CAPTCHAs, but more likely it just means the internet is gonna get more annoying.

People will come to visit and be like thank you so much we have to take you out to dinner what’s your favorite place and I’m like…my favorite restaurant is my back porch, great beef, can I just cook?

This week I have received: - 14 fake recruiting texts - another "pay your toll bill" phishing text - countless obvious attempted phishing emails - a call from "alex at american express" from a Florida area code, the same area that Amex's CS is based in (I called Amex instead of Alex) - two "legal documents to be served about a matter" calls which my attorney responded to and found they were a scam I've had the same phone # for 20 years and I may have to change it just so I can use my phone. I'm in the business operations as a business, business so I can generally sniff this stuff. But how exactly are people with less reps supposed to live? Most people would have taken that Amex bait. He was good.

It's unbelievable that the Forest Service, a national treasure whose sole mission is to protect the health of the forests, has to go through the same gauntlet as a coal plant to do its job.

Every few years I buy a nice pair of sunglasses and immediately lose them. Bought these $10 amazon sunglasses this year and than they look/feel just as good or better than any nice pair I've ever owned. Have extra pairs in my truck, my bag, everywhere.

I left the key in my mailbox for a week. Packages were still there a week later. Living in a high trust community has a lot of perks.

Imagine if airlines added travel insurance to every ticket by default. Or if walmart auto-added extended protection plans to every toothbrush. There would be Congressional hearings. This is Shopify's greatest stain.

When you have some extra money you'll buy an Eames Chair. And you'll soon realize there is no way to use it that doesn't include a sore neck from looking down at the flat world around you or a tired arm from holding a book up to your weirdly angled eyes.
