@samswoora Love running the dishwasher over night to get work done while I sleep. I wake up excited every morning to check on it and see what it has cleaned

Something magical about having your dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, and claude code all running simultaneously

@b___brian I agree this is the problem and you’ll see a lot of reduction in headcount to reduce alignment cost.

broccoli, pre-cut and washed ~$5 keto pasta ~$6 heavy cream ~$2 parmesan ~$2 butter ~$1 1lb pre-cooked steak ~$14 garlic, spices, olive oil <$1 about 30 minutes of effort total (including cleanup) 3 delicious and nutritious meals, roughly $10 and 10 minutes each

since we're doing doordash discourse again, I'd like to share that I recently discovered that the minimum viable cream sauce is just 1 cup heavy cream, 0.5 cup Parmesan, salt, pepper, simmer and stir until the parm is fully melted in. takes 10 minutes, super easy, so delicious

I have too many friends with too much money who are afraid to quit their job and cross of tons of bucket list items in their late 20's and spend months doing things they actually want to do

@abettertake @Duderichy I’ve heard the local tech industry there doesn’t have as much going on as it was hyped up to have. Is that true in your experience?

the problem with moving from a big city is, even if you can take your job with you, you cannot take all jobs with you if you get caught in a layoff, replacing big city income is difficult

@_its_not_real_ @DistractedAnna I guess she will join me in the gulag But seriously im not a fan of her or the late 2010s style anti white rhetoric but all that stuff has gone from the way everyone spoke to politically toxic in the last several years. Sure its not gone but I don’t see it leading to genocide

@DistractedAnna These people like to coyly suggest they're being genocided because too many immigrants are being allowed in and/or because DEI. This is a central pole of right wing discourse for the last fifteen years welcome to the party
