I've been happily using @Ubiquiti since forever, but it's been incredible to watch their insane product pace over the last 12-18 months. Constantly releasing new products, new categories, and wrapping it all in the best software on the market. Love it! youtu.be/c6l10Fe2qr4

Everyone’s printer needs are different but if you are like me and only printout text documents in B&W, Brother laser printers are a revelation. They will keep printing through a nuclear war.

It's sort of funny that we're going to have AGI before we have a printer that isn't constantly breaking.

Chatted with a water resource economist at an event in California yesterday.
The state’s water “shortage” really is one of the most unforced errors in policymaking.
Key stats:
- farmers use 80% of the developed water supply
- residents use 20%
- cities pay ~20x higher prices (!) for water than farmers (~$722/acre-foot vs ~$36/acre-foot)
- some of the biggest agricultural districts in the state pay literally $0 for their water
- meanwhile agriculture accounts for just ~2% of California’s economy
It’s crazy that politicians tell residents to take shorter showers or get rid of their lawns instead of just charging farmers the market price for their water usage.

@CliftonSellers Which rack is this? Looks really good, compact footprint

@PackripEwing One of you is stuck with the Mad Catz controller
But it’s ok, you rotate it through the group (the complaining is part of the tradition)

@homegymcoop @BowTiedYukon Best part: it removes excuses from the equation. Your day started with the best of intentions but got away from you? No problem, do your workout after the kids have been tucked in
English
@BowTiedYukon Yup! And a home gym allows you to get even more time back because there's no travel time or waiting for broccoli heads to finish curling in the squat rack.

Most dads aren’t waking up at 4am to train because they want to be “hardcore”
They do it because that’s the only time their responsibilities are sleeping and they can have a few hours to focus on themselves

@LOTRWorldwide Don't think the world is ready for productivity tanking at a rate of -2% global GDP if this game delivers on any of its promises

Excitement is mounting for fantasy gamers as reports reveal that the upcoming Lord of the Rings game will feature a fully open world stretching from the Shire to Mordor. This ambitious design promises unprecedented freedom, exploration, and immersion in J.R.R. Tolkien’s iconic universe.
Players can expect to traverse lush landscapes, perilous terrains, and iconic locations while engaging in quests, battles, and narrative-driven missions.
If successful, this open world game could redefine expectations for fantasy RPGs, offering both longtime Tolkien fans and newcomers a truly immersive journey from the peaceful Shire to the dark lands of Mordor.

@TheCatholicEngr Per dollar value, I’m finding it hard to beat the $7 Canary Japanese box cutting knife. You’ll never go back to another

What was one small purchase you made that improved your quality of life in a big way?
For me it was spending $60 to buy 6 phone chargers and putting them in every location I'd need them instead of taking one charger everywhere I went

@dvassallo What kind of dog year universe are we living in? We need to rename the time units, a year is something completely different vs what a farmer in the 1800s experienced

@DeanTTraining @mlevyholden @SteveOnSpeed For the price ($189 right now), great value. Surprisingly stable too

I’ll give it ~3 more years before EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON PLANET EARTH agrees that this type of Machine is LIGHT YEARS better than Barbell Bench Press for building the Chest
We are very very close to consensus on this….only a few stubborn people holding us up!

@DeanTTraining I don’t have this kind of machine in my gym… that’s make me dreaming !

@DeanTTraining TYR L1s are 51% off right now. At that price, no reason NOT to buy a pair

For your own!
