'growing evidence that blockchain will soon..." is basically the line we've heard for the last 15 years.

I'm more open than most to crypto, I worked at Coinbase during IPO and Avalanche for a short contract after that. But yes, I alternate between it's a total scam and it's a technology waiting for a use case.

1968 was about 10 years after my grandparents migrated from Mexico to work at textile factories in the USA. They managed to buy a new house in a master planned community that was filled by other factory workers like themselves. He could never be mistaken for a white male, still he took english classes at night and started a side business as an umpire for baseball games and my grandmother started selling gold to the other factory workers during lunch time. They raised 3 kids, upgraded their house, bought a triplex, and a couple acre investment property.

Could any factory worker do that today?

Yeah that's the type of estimate people give so they can keep the paychecks coming in for as long as possible.

I started doing pushups between claude code responses. I started with 10 but now I rip ~50 like nothing. I'm getting a pull up bar and trying to do the same. Pull ups until it completes then prompt and again, squats, pushups, ect. I'm getting stronger and better at code.

Most people I know have apple watches so researching mechanic movements and models is enough for hobby status to me. Like any other 'collecting' hobby.

But yes I've taken a few apart to try to fix and service them, even if it's only with my $20 amazon repair tool set.

There is no train on the westside? Also the airport to downtown shuttle runs 7 days a week?

But yeah maybe it's because I'm a native Texan but I have never considered taking public transport anywhere. Though that's really the norm outside of a handful of US cities.

So like every Bay area tech worker jumping on a bus at 8:00am until leaving the office after 6pm. And those few of us who don't want that are pressured by managers happy unleash a PIP.

A 'social casino'. I know it's competitive but I think there is a room to make games targeted toward gen-z.

$40 an hour in Austin Tx, a city with construction going on in every corner.
