@aarondfrancis There are a lot of good videos on 8020 for building out cabinets for vans - here's a good one (guy's a character!) youtube.com/c/HumbleRoad
It's pretty straightforward but can get expensive! (but is absolutely bombproof)

Has anyone ever made or purchased "furniture" like this? Any tips or tricks?

Let me explain what just happened 👇
5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.
5 minutes…
These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.
There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.
Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.
American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.
This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions.
This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight.
You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question.
Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that.
The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.

@nickgraynews @jdevalk Workers! Figured while pages is still around, they seem to recommend workers.

I built Yoast SEO. I ran my blog on WordPress for years. Then yesterday I moved it to static HTML.
Everything that matters, SEO, search, schema, is still there. What I dropped was the overhead.
Do you actually need a CMS? For quite some sites: no.

Can confirm. Don’t waste time on anything else. It just sits there and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. My kids have roughed it up getting paper out & it shrugs it right off

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba
I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film
As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes
It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions.
But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

I try to avoid being a doomer, but I do feel immense pressure to have my product conform to the new way of working in a way I haven’t felt before.
Organic traffic is no longer a distribution strategy, customers don’t want to login anymore, you need to have a CLI/MCP or customers will go elsewhere, our AI features need to be updated weekly and one-shot the most random requests…
Your company is at risk if you don’t move fast enough.
I’m embracing it but I understand why people are anxious.
It’s never ending.

An under-discussed advantage of small homes is that you can obsess over the design of every bit of space.
It’s hard to do with a 5,000+ s.f. house with 12+ rooms, which is why most don’t have soul.
Bring back small, beautifully designed homes!

I like the look of this home. Rather idyllic I would say.

I think the US government should spend money providing healthcare and education instead of spending $11.3 billion in a single week bombing a little girls’ school

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pentagon tells Congress the first week of the Iran war cost the US $11.3 billion, an AP source says.

@jessethanley @PlanetScale @Bento We moved from Heroku to Crunchy a while ago and have loved them. But a much much smaller DB than yours, so I can't comment on pricing. Their support, help, and knowledge have been fantastic.
English
I am now on the highest tier of Heroku Postgres plans. I am spending a mortgage on data.
I am investigating migrations properly this month to get better value and support for my dollar.
Already got Tatami on @Planetscale, evaluating pricing and features for @Bento.
Battle is against:
@Planetscale
@crunchydata
@Heroku Performance/Aurora
AWS Aurora
Not evaluating (cause meh):
Supabase
Neon (lol, lmao even)
Any PaaS alternative
Any self-hosted route
Will post updates and methods used.
Bucardo is interesting.

@lkr Totally agree! And having your files listed right there is great. However you can have multiple chats going in the CC app....just click new session to add another. It's not obvious you can do that until you try it. I'm running 3 right now. :)
English
This is the way! Also better than the official claude code app because you can have a bunch of chats going at the same time

Quick Tip: If you want to use Claude Code but are intimidated by the terminal... 1. Download Visual Code Studio (free) 2. Install the Claude Code Plugin 3. Logins to your Claude account and start a chat. You get a nice chat interface that you're used to with all the power of Claude Code behind it.

@helloitsolly We did this recently, however we were on Wordpress so the site was almost impossible to really modify (so we were motivated!) But you are correct - I use CC to do ALL the website work, and pushing changes to Cloudflare is instant. Static sites are fast!

Am I about to waste 100s of hours?
Senja's marketing website is built in Framer
But I'm thinking of migrating to Astro + GitHub + Cloudflare Pages
This would allow me to use Claude Code to spin up new pages and refinements based on insights from Google Ads, ahrefs, Senja and Posthog.
Is this the foundation of modern marketing websites, or a big waste of time?

An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise, and its sailors paraded on land before the president.
The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo.
Breaking with all norms of civilization and warfare, we then refused to rescue the drowning survivors. The Sri Lanka Navy was left to pull the dead bodies from the water.
I am hard pressed to think of any other nation throughout history that would do something so cowardly and despicable. We are genuinely in a league of our own, and American media — mostly shrugging off the bombing of a girls school and acting as if carpet bombing Tehran is a normal military tactic — is deeply complicit.

The Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk part in our Milan exercise. We were the hosts. I am told that as per protocol for this exercise ships cannot carry any ammunition. It was defenceless. The Iranian naval personnel had paraded before our president . The attack by the US submarine was premeditated as the US was aware of the Iranian ship’s presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute, presumably with this operation in mind. The US has ignored India’s sensitivities as the ship was in these waters because of India’s invitation. We are far from politically or militarily responsible for the US attack. Our“responsibility” is at a moral and human plane. A word of condolence by the Indian Navy ( after political clearance) at the loss of lives of those who were our invitees and saluted our president would be in order.

Vermont is already the 3rd highest taxed state. And right now in VT's legislative session there are at least 7 different proposal to raise taxes further including one that would take the top marginal income tax rate to 15-16% (it would be by far the highest in the country). 1/4
