@NC2020Anthony @Brady_H I feel this so hard. I think I’m also in such a different place with running and cycling that doing anything more than the activity eh I just don’t care. Not to mention for the last few years I used it just as a log, but Garmin does tha already.

@Brady_H It’s so boring lol. I like getting my workout in and going about my day. Sitting there and looking at other people’s workout and having to comment is just so boring. Plus there’s the safety issue for me.

This is the real reason I went "dark" on Strava. So other runners wouldn't compare themselves. :)

@burby_geek @robinsreport @TheProspect Except half the time I see the opposite in self checkout, cart absolutely stuffed with items, person painstakingly going through the motions a employee would do in 1/10 the time. While I wait with a carton of eggs and gallon of milk.

@robinsreport @TheProspect a lot of self service these days but people just refuse to use it because they want someone else to type everything in for them

1/ As I reported my book, I noticed something that has completely changed American life: widespread chronic under-staffing. It leads to, among other things, deadly medication errors at pharmacies, flight delays, messy stores, and the crime wave. From me today @TheProspect

@elmachuca SC for a number of delicious foods, but definitely not *that*

Find me in South Carolina, never

@Brady_H I don’t know if it did anything special for me (and I don’t have an occasion to repeat it w/o some effort), but it did feel pretty invigorating to alternate between a hot sauna for 10ish min, then cold plunge for a few, back to sauna, rinse/repeat.

A 30–60-second cold shower does absolutely none of this. A cold plunge for several minutes *might.*

4/9 Dozens & dozens of airline mergers have shrunk the domestic industry but we're all living in Groundhog Day. Broken promises to Congress, DOJ, & DOT aren't investigated, let alone punished. Despite harms to consumers, labor, & communities, we just segue to the next merger.

@TomLikesRobots @mkobach This was going to be my comment. Fun idea, but send them off to a (real) photo lab (not Walgreens or WM), get prints and digital files, then shove them in that drawer.

@mkobach That's a cool idea. I guess don't leave exposed film too long before processing as it can degrade after a while. I did think this was a spoof post at first and your partner/wife was a celebrity you were stalking.

In 2020 I bought a handful of disposable cameras with a weird idea: Take photos, but then… don’t develop them. Not for a week. Not for a month. But for years. I used them at random times. Trips, weekends with friends, new family stuff, etc. Then I threw the cameras in a drawer and left them there on purpose. Finally got them developed this week. You forget everything that’s on them. Every photo feels like a little time capsule. People look younger. Moments you forgot ever happened. Random nights that meant nothing at the time suddenly felt special. We’re so used to seeing photos instantly now that we rarely experience them as memories. So buy a few disposable cameras, use them over time, then don’t develop them for 5+ years.

Twitter should allow you to turn off replies from large accounts (like airlines). I want to see when DL or AA post, but not them replying to every person asking why their flight is delayed 7min.

@maggiemoda Nothing uncivil about aisle passenger standing up next to seat, bag down, ready to walk. And it’s faster.

Just landed in Austin, and the entire plane did not immediately get up and crowd the aisle. Grateful to see civility returning to air travel.

@omw @Wario64 Yep, gotcha. Didn’t think so but didn’t want to miss something.

@ctchils @Wario64 No, it doesn't matter if you're using a receiver. The receiver will handle the audio. It matters if you're using a soundbar connected to the TV's eARC port.

LG - 77" Class B5 Series OLED AI 4K UHD Smart webOS TV (2025) is $1,399.99 at Best Buy buff.ly/jtYbCpo #ad

@omw @Wario64 Does that matter if you’re running an AVR?

@Wario64 Lacks support for DTS audio (if you care about that)

@BB_rbnwtz @our_decay Yea but a divey sports bar in a hotel kinda hits after the conference

@our_decay I dont want a sports bar or a dive bar or a hotel bar, okay?

A lot of people make fun of black gloves barstool butcher paper mini baking tray $42 burger shack… but few have the courage to also make fun of marble countertop candlelight brass railings dehydrated citrus garnish $36 cocktail bar

@sergikosiakof @AristotleCrypto @Shwinnabego I read this through my rhino horn monocle

@AristotleCrypto @Shwinnabego Making glasses' frames from turtles also kind of fizzled out. As it should have

Debeers paying the NYT for a 5 part series pro-natural diamond, in light of their $511m loss last year…is honestly quite hilarious

@d9monti That’s good to hear! I’ve always had a good experience being Presidents Circle. Sometimes I have to ask/remind about status or upgrades but it’s not a big deal.

I would just like to say that I received excellent customer service from Karen today at @Hertz who resolved my problem quickly, efficiently, and courteously. Hertz makes excellent use of this platform for customer service via DM.

Some Tampa homebuilders are so incredibly weird. What tf is going on with those front "yards"?

@JordanRogers26 I need to start checking this out. AND rewatch Sicario…

This is my favorite Podcast & they finally did my Favorite movie of the last decade... SICARIO.

@elmachuca Looking forward to hearing what you think after trying that product

looking forward to my first bite of a big arch IMHO

@mkobach “Welcome to my new series where I eat products on camera. 1 bite, everyone knows the rules.”

The McDonalds CEO should do 1 product review a week. Lean into it. Test lesser known items. Play it completely straight.

@Dominichts Have you had the displeasure of flying (not in J or F) in the last 10+ years?? Who wants to sit a minute longer in those torture tests?! LET ME UP!!

Deutsche stehen nach der Landung lieber 10 Minuten im Gang statt einfach sitzen zu bleiben

@mkobach @stoolpresidente We went to 2 breweries a couple months ago while in town to see family and Inner Voice was one of them (very good). I’m bummed I wasn’t hungry for lunch or had any idea about Brainwave!

@stoolpresidente Damn. I guessed 8.2.

PSA and friendly reminder (in light of recent flight cancellations / difficulty getting refunds): vote for people that will hold airlines’ feet to the fire when things go wrong and protect consumers.
