When I saw this Lego set announced I was not aware of this spaceship. Did some quick research. I'm now 4 hours into the audiobook. Not sure when I'm supposed to sleep. 🤔🤷♂️

For anyone keeping track: It took gold over 5,600 years to hit $1,000/oz for the first time, in 2008, amid the worst financial crisis in US history. Meanwhile, gold prices just rose +$1,000/oz in 28 days. But don't worry, fiat currencies are completely fine.

Underrated social skill: Letting people save face when they realize they're wrong. Don't rub it in. Don't make them grovel. Give them an exit ramp. Graciousness in victory earns more respect than being right ever will.

If you’re struggling right now in any way, skip the life hacks for a minute. Go to church this Sunday. Even if you don’t normally go. Even if you’re “spiritual not religious.” Even if you have PTSD from the religious boredom of church as a kid. Just go sit in the back row and

An underrated law? Kidlin's Law. That if you write down a problem clearly and specifically, you have already solved half of it. The act of clearly & specifically describing a problem on paper creates a deeper understanding of its components & makes it easier to find solutions.

Windows 11. I initially had to Quit Claude because I changed my MCP list in desktop config. It crashed on open. Trust me, it wasn't a bad config file. 2 hours of troubleshooting later: Claude is not closing all 'Claude.exe' processes.

An alcoholic friend of Philip Yancey once said to him: “When I'm late to church, people turn around and stare at me with frowns of disapproval. I get the clear message that I'm not as responsible as they are. When I'm late to AA, the meeting comes to a halt and everyone jumps

X's Handle Marketplace for Premium+ subscribers is not what I expected. You must remain a Premium+ subscriber to retain any assigned handle. I searched for a handle that has no posts since 2011 and has one follower, (me). X said 'no'; it was active or otherwise unavailable.
