I remember noticing that a little note appeared on my son's Imagination Library books that said something to the effect of "Brentwood Pediatric Dentistry paid for this book" which seems like a great way to support local kids and (maybe?) act as marketing. I certainly became interested in that dental practice, but then we moved away before my infant needed a dentist.

This is why I like to have a minimum age requirement on package releases. Something like at least 2 or 3 days.

I'm so glad you had this experience (genuinely). My husband and I were treated very well here in the US when he was diagnosed with cancer and I'm so grateful to the doctors, nurses, admins, and the cancer center we were treated at for that. It takes so much off the plate when you just have to focus on 1) showing up for infusions and then 2) going home to rest.

As a caretaker to my husband who had cancer and is now in remission, here are some caretaker tips:

- Take it one day at a time

- Schedule time for yourself fairly often to do things you like that are away from treatment and away from your home

- Prioritize sleep!

- Set up a meal train so at least some meals are taken care of. We prioritized chemo weeks for our meal train

- Make a countdown to important milestones. It's okay to wish this time in your life away

- You will feel lonely. Have some friends you know you can call

- Find a cancer caregiver support group. Other cancer caregivers "get it" better than others

- Celebrate the milestones, all the time, forever

> likely best used for small subagent tasks / tightly scoped work.

Hasn't this always been the case with Haiku?

I too use November 2025 as a true turning point.

This sounds like a nice idea for a day or two, but I think how it presents in reality could be rough. The power grid might be down for a few days causing food spoilage, it could be taking down banks so people don't have access to their money, it could be screwing up IT at a hospital which interferes with treatment and care, we may not be able to fill up our gas tanks... I don't think it'll be "nefarious-gun-on-a-robot-dog" any time soon, but rather something that still causes major major issues.

It feels like propoganda.

Yeah, that's why most businesses form.

Could you share the specific mg/week taper you did for Sertraline?
