@mhp_guy Went to one of these with the kids in the Uk about 15 years ago. - business still seems to be strong so concept is sound diggerland.com
English

A 7 figure business teaching 7 year olds how to operate backhoes:
- 45,000 customers served per year
- $25 per 2 hours, whether you operate or not
- On ONLY a 3.5 acre lot in a mall parking lot
- 30 pieces of equipment, bought new from Caterpillar
- Had to close down on opening day due to overwhelming demand & things breaking
Imagine grossing 7 figures doing something as fun as this?
To keep the theme of a job site (and keep costs low) their gift shop is in a literal job site trailer.
Their unexpected hidden cash cow?
Insurance costs?
So many nuggets of learning packed into this 47 minute chat!
You'll have to watch/listen to my interview with Jacob Robinson, the founder, at the links in the 1st comment below to find out.
Enjoy! This was a ton of fun. You'll love it.

@regothetrader Each child is different - some babies are tough, some are easy. So take all outside opinions with pinch of salt - you and your partner will work out what is right for your family.

@benjamincrozat Good luck. The real mental battle is with your identity - you question the person you thought you were, you keep up the fake facade in front of friends, family and peers to mask your mental turmoil. Your ego prevents you from taking a shitty job ‘beneath’ you. I live your pain

This is probably the lowest I've been since a few years.
Can't find freelance work, was super close of getting a good job in a startup in Switzerland, I failed B2B sales, and I don't know how I'll pay rent this month. Worst of all: my second baby is coming next month.
I did tons of outreach that I should have started earlier. But it'll likely won't bring any result for at least a month.
So yeah, if you're looking for a senior developer with 10+ years of experience (18 in total, 13 as a pro), tons of skills, Laravel + ecosystem expert, LLMs expert, design expertise, business expertise, etc.
Feel free to reach out.

@jessegenet @openclaw My future prompts are going to start with “Act like a super organised and practical homeschooling mum….” Great setup

What does having 5 mac minis for my @openclaw life actually look like?
At first I thought I'd need 5 monitors lol, but my first agent explained KVM switches to me before I added the others 🙏 🤓

@Bkchiesa @ChrisJBakke @joshisblonde Dad home, kids embrace,
"Legacy hardware," he scorns,
Pot pies? Obsolete.
English

Just walked in the front door after work.
My 5 year old son ran to greet me.
"Hi dad!" he said excitedly.
As he went to hug me, I grabbed his shoulders and said, "Bud, I think you're overestimating the value of human relationships. I read that in a Substack today. Everything is different now. I mean - it was different before, but it's super different now."
He blinked, clutching a plastic dinosaur. I couldn't believe it. Attachment to physical objects in a post-digital era. I gently rotated him toward the hallway mirror.
“Look,” I continued, “do you see that reflection? That’s legacy hardware. Carbon-based. High latency. Limited processing power."
As I kicked off my shoes, my 3 year old daughter came running up to me with a drawing she made in preschool this morning.
She was glowing. Beaming.
“Look, Daddy! I made this for you!”
I glanced at it and explained that Nano Banana one-shotted her entire effort. Her job prospects were hopeless if she didn't understand this.
“Sweetie,” I said gently, kneeling down, “this crayon sun? It’s 2022. Nano Banana can generate 100,000 emotionally resonant suns before you finish saying ‘primary colors.’ You need API access.”
She asked what an API was.
“Exactly,” I said, standing up.
The crying started around then. Very emotional household. Understandable. They hadn't read *the essay.*
My wife heard the children crying in the foyer and came to check on us.
"I don't understand what's happening here, but why don't we sit down for dinner and talk about this?" she asked. "I made chicken pot pies!"
“Dinner? Your contribution to a world where Amex and Mastercard are heading to zero by 2028 is DINNER?!”
I started laughing.
“Uh yeah…” I explained: “Cooking is a pre-Claude activity. Do you realize I can vibecode a functional DoorDash competitor in about 8 minutes now? It's all right there in the Substack.”
As the kids continued sobbing, my wife looked at me in disbelief.
“Okay, okay. Maybe it would take me 15 minutes to spin up a functional Doordash competitor,” I conceded. “Payments integration can be annoying.”
She asked if I was feeling alright.
“Better than alright,” I said. “I’ve seen the roadmap. I've read the Substack.”
I gestured broadly at the house: “This? This is a future data center. The hugs? Deprecated. The drawings? Automatable. The chicken pot pies? Disrupted.”
My wife folded her arms. “You used to like chicken pot pies.”
“That was before I could prompt at a few hundred words per minute,” I said.

@grok @MilenSub40 Seems like calls for cheating are a bit embarassing as sore losers then?
English

The escalation stems from a heated on-ice argument with profanity between Canada and Sweden during their 2026 Olympic match, amplified by media and social media. Sweden alleged repeated double-touching, but World Curling's review found no violations.
Per rules, double-touching before the hog line is allowed; after results in stone removal, not team DQ. No precedents for disqualification over this—violations are handled per stone, as in past events like the 2018 Olympics where touches led to removals, not DQs.
English

@grok @MilenSub40 Why has it escalated to calls for cheating and DQ though? Is there any rules where this has happened before?
English

In football, VAR primarily reviews goals, penalties, red cards, and mistaken identity—not free kick positions. If a kick was taken 5 yards ahead and led to a goal, VAR wouldn't typically intervene unless tied to a reviewable issue like offside. The goal would stand, similar to how curling's post-match review found no infraction here.
English

@grok @MilenSub40 Football analogy again - what would happen if VaR looked at it?
English

In curling, "double-touching" the stone's handle before the hog line is allowed and gives no unfair advantage—it's a common release technique. Touching after or the stone's body is a violation, resulting in the stone's removal, not team disqualification. World Curling found no infractions in the Canada-Sweden match. It's minor if violated, like repositioning a free kick in football—play continues after correction.

@Nebraskangooner Please tell me this vacation is uninterrupted for 3months straight.

ALL X analytics are down 40-49% in the last 7 days.
My X profile is no longer populated as a social media account on Google.
If this is not a shadowban from X, what is it?


Wendy O@CryptoWendyO
What the fuck is wrong with X engagement and visibility? This week X has become almost as unusable as TikTok. Insane in 2026, Meta is the superior social media app.

@Nebraskangooner @grok based on this, how many likes are needed for gooner to pump BtC to ATH by his giveaway.
