One good way to win over time is to treat each "no" as totally impersonal. Either something makes sense or it does not.

I wish I could feed all the physical mail I get into some sort of scanner device and then an AI agent takes figures out what to do with it.

Soups Ranjan@soupsranjan·
I am a proud US citizen and founder of a successful startup that employs 94 employees in the US and 180+ employees globally. I was in Dubai on a business trip meeting with financial institutions to help them fight financial fraud in the region, but now I am stranded. I expected the @usgov to do something to get US citizens out but I haven't seen any meaningful action. After 4 days of adrenalin and constant fear, I feel demoralised and abandoned by our government. It’s difficult watching other countries – UK, Israel, Spain, Italy and India – repatriate their citizens or ensure that commercial flights continue operating to bring them home. I became a naturalized US citizen because I believe in the American dream, and the idea that in a crisis, America never leaves its citizens behind. I see that American dream being shattered not just for me, but for tens of thousands of other Americans left stranded. I have 3 requests of our government: 1. Can the @usgov ensure the commercial airlines don't cancel US bound flights? I've booked a dozen flights to leave Dubai and ALL of them got canceled, even as flights to other countries continue operating. 2. If that is not possible, can the USG organize planes, commercial or military, to evacuate Americans out of Dubai and the surrounding region? I saw a very hopeful note from the Assistant Secretary of State for Global Public Affairs which states, “the US State Dept is in touch with 3,000 Americans and that we should call 1-202-501-4444 for assistance with departure options.” But that is unfortunately not accurate. I am enrolled in Step and have only received generic messages. Further, on calling that number, the message you get is: "Please don't rely on the USG for assisted departure or evacuation at this point. There are currently no evacuation flights at this time." 3. With funding cuts to the US consulates and with attacks on US embassies in the region, there’s no one that Americans can reach out to in the broader GCC region. Can we set up an emergency hotline within the US that actually works, and that has someone who is taking down more details? @SecRubio just stated that there are 1500 Americans who have contacted asking for assistance to evacuate. How did they do that because I am completely at a loss on who to call? I called up 1-202-501-4444 and all I got is a generic message. Myself and other Americans need help getting back home.

The hits keep coming! This one’s a banger. You can’t get connection like this from a marketplace. Kat was amazing as always. Was present for our newborn’s first blow out too. Excelled at the new task and was here for a milestone. Pretty much family now.

Stay warm and safe out there Dallas! Glad we were able to get our members ready for the cold! "Over the course of the past year and during the last visit Jean has helped winterize my home. This is the first winter where my pipes didn’t freeze! Thanks Jean! Every home should come with a Jean :)" Every home should come with Honey Homes!

Feedback from our members this past week really reinforced the difference between Honey Homes and everyone else is that we proactively partner with you, versus simply reactively solving a one-off problem. Here's a few example. Ever felt this way?

I love this. The same applies to your home. If you don't spend the time or effort improving it and maintaining it, the default is that it slips. That's the magic of @HoneyHomesHQ . Having a dedicated partner and a system that proactively takes care of your to-do list, regardless of if it's an improvement, a repair, or maintenance. Keep your home comfortable, personalized just for you and your family

Somehow it was learning how many people are fulltime employed to maintain the Golden Gate Bridge that flipped something inside of me in my understanding of the entropic force civilization has to constantly fight against. Before that moment I thought — I had not applied real conscious thought — you simply build a building or anything really and then you just … have it. After that I understood everything is constantly at the brink of being lost.

Claude Code launching Claude Cowork feels like the dawn of Google Docs & Sheets, which created multi-player for what had previously been single player MSFT Office. Feels like it has the potential to create systems/tools/processes org wide that are multi-player by default
