If anyone outside the US is watching the GOP debate tonight, please be aware that the primary is a race to bring the fringe of the party to your side. Stuff changes when the general election approaches and candidates need to pull in some voters from the other party.

TL;DR: This is maximum nutty politics. It usually gets less crazy as the general election approaches. Usually.

Inflation in the US seems to be mostly coming from:

vehicles
services sector
housing

Dealers aren't budging on high vehicle prices and are sitting on too much inventory. They're also refusing allocations from manufacturers.

That's eventually going to break apart.

I've volunteered countless hours for the Pull-thru Network, a non-profit charity helping children and adults with specific medical conditions, to get their new website live...

...and it finally went live today! 🎉

I'm so proud of them and honored that they let me help them! 🫂

Is anyone out there using fly.io with Python? I was considering using it with some microservices but I haven't figured out how well i works yet.

After trying out a John le Carré spy novel and realizing it wasn't my style, I'm taking the recommendation of a neighbor and reading Stephen King's "The Gunslinger". 📚

I switched from Pocket Casts to AntennaPod and it's been a good experience so far. It's a little quirky with moving things from the inbox to the queue, but I'm getting used to it.

So someone recommended the zsh-autosuggestions plugin to me and I said "oh, I have tab completion turned on already."

They said: "No, you don't understand. Just go try this."

It's pretty incredible. 👏

I'm helping a non-profit try to claw some money back from Hostgator that was charged in a super predatory way and during the process, Hostgator "lost" all of their invoices.

Convenient. 🤦‍♂️

My gosh! I learned a lot more about Jim Bowie's dark history that we never learned in Texas History back in school. Wow. 👀

I received so much good advice about #running slower to run faster (build up endurance first before going fast) and it's working well.

Is there a similar idea or plan on building upper body strength? That's always been a difficulty for me and I'd gladly take advice or links to plans! 😉

Used car prices coming down in the USA. This isn't great for new car buying as dealers will offer less on a trade. Dealers still aren't moving much on new car pricing (yet).

Longest run EVER! 🎉

I used to be sucking wind about 20% through a 5K but I ran over 8km today with zero walking. Lots of time in zone 3 was a surprise, too. 🎽

My goal of 10K without death is inching closer...

Seems weird when someone makes an argument, someone else makes a devil's advocate argument, and then someone says:

"I don't think we need a devil's advocate argument here."

Well, allow me to play devil's advocate here... 😂

What a great idea! If I open the dev console in Firefox while on the threads.net site, there's a warning to be careful about what someone tells you to paste in there.

Machine learning and #AI reminds me so much of the early heyday of OpenStack and Kubernetes.

Everything is moving so rapidly that most of the blog posts, videos and other docs no longer apply. 🐇

I saw a Microsoft ad earlier for #AI and it showed someone turning five bullet points into a 35-slide presentation.

Why not just present your five bullet points yourself? Nobody wants to look at 35 slides whether a human or computer made them.
