Mine also. I've caught a 'Schlinger' launched hot dog. It was extra smushed, but still tasty.

Interesting. I was literally just trying to get a GTD system going in a claude project with a Notion connection when the Notion connector suddenly quit working and rendered the chat session useless. Prior to that I was chatting with claude about how to set this up and I was able to hook that chat up to Notion where it set up the whole structure, only to have the claude project completely blind to the stuff just created in the regular chat. I still don't know how I fixed that other than maybe just relaunching the Claude app. I don't really understand why you can't just have Claude write info into text documents inside a project. It is weird to me that you have to either wire it up to an external service or trust that is capturing information properly in memory files you can't see or use claude code with a git repo, but then syncing between mobile and multiple computers can be cumbersome.

Yeah, I can't shake the feeling that while AI is exciting and can unlock new solutions to problems, too many uses of it will actually make our lives worse. The best uses of the technology seem to be when it enables coming at something from a whole new direction, not the cases where it is just directly replacing something we were doing before.

I've been wanting a device that would notify me when it detects that I am getting emotional. Particularly if my heart starts pounding and my voice is raised. I was hopeful that Amazon's Halo would be that device, but it's voice analysis was not always on and you had to go look at it after the fact.

I always like Adam Taylor's write-ups.

I don't have any silver bullets and often find myself in a similar circumstance as you. Here is what I can suggest as possible courses of action. First, have you considered seeing a counselor? YMMV, but if you find the right one they may help you work through the not so obvious sources of that "what's the point" feeling. Second, read as much as you can on the subjects of motivation, burn out and happiness. I'm currently reading "Smarter, Faster, Better" by Charles Duhigg and there is interesting stuff in there about how lack of choice can lead to lack of motivation. This is just one example of a deep subject however which is why I suggest reading a lot and see what you identify with. Personally, I'm also a big fan of "The Happiness Trap" by Russ Harris. Good Luck.

Couldn't the opposite also be true though? Not having a product that is heavily integrated into the U.S. supply chain means the U.S. may not come to your aid when your neighbor invades.

Came here to say the same thing. Having my old laptop board be a NUC for another screen somewhere seems like a good idea.

Not just charming, but also makes me feel like they value my money and want to make sure it goes toward the mission. It's easy to say "hire a production company", but personally, I can put up with a clunky PR event if they use the savings to keep pushing the mission forward.

This made my morning.

Detasseling corn.

I am by no means an expert, but this reflects my dabbling with XBRL. It seems like a giant time suck that would require too much curating to make useful.

Noooo! I love perusing this list.
