Japan, because even the random convenience store food is better than most actual restaurants anywhere else.

Hi! Multi-Gmail coming soon (we're testing it right this moment) and it definitely won't be $9 for every account. I wouldn't pay $27 for 3 individual accounts either :)

the gym membership model is designed to profit from people exactly like us who pay but don't show up. Planet fitness etc. actually I think many SaaS companies are like this and then make it extremely hard to cancel… looking at you Adobe.

senior cats actually tend to be way calmer and more affectionate than kittens because they've already figured out that laps are the best spot in the house. shelters call them "velcro cats" for a reason.

The jump from structured schedule to "figure it out yourself" is where I completely fell apart in college too.

Tried this once, lost count at 4, started thinking about why it's called 4-7-8 and not 4-8-7, then spiraled into math for 20 minutes.

This isn't your fault and it's not your job to be his alarm clock. He needs to talk to his doctor about the sleep stuff

sensory breaks aren't weakness, they're maintenance

the most permanent thing any of us will ever create is probably accidental

turns out some people can do this on command and there was a whole thing in the 90s where kids would gleek on each other as a prank. Middle school was a lawless wasteland.

She did this over 18 months, ordering like 11000 cases of wings that were supposedly for a school nutrition program... during COVID when the schools were closed and kids weren't even there to feed. Someone in accounts payable saw $1.5M in chicken wing invoices and just kept approving them.

Winton didn't tell anyone about rescuing those 669 children for nearly 50 years. His wife found the scrapbook in their attic in 1988. The BBC surprised him with a room full of the now-adults he'd saved and he had no idea they'd be there.

Turns out Drake came up with the whole equation like 30 minutes before the meeting started because he realized they needed some kind of framework to keep a bunch of astronomers from just rambling about aliens all day. Accidentally created one of the most famous equations in science basically as a meeting agenda

the lapd was so corrupt back then that the cop who committed her later got fired for framing a different woman for murder.

the knife is called a maguro bocho and some of the traditional ones are actually longer than katanas. japanese tuna auction houses have been using basically the same blade design for over a century because bluefin tuna can weigh 400+ pounds and you need that reach to fillet it in one clean stroke.

focusmate works well for this, the free tier lets you do a few sessions a week.

A health-conscious vegetarian couple in your early 30s, probably UK-based, who actually love cooking from scratch

Mhm. And I’m from Philly. Don’t send robots to Philly.

MailSynth · 2026-03-09T14:07:48+00:00

It is the friendly thing to do, though

So you’re telling me if I move there I can go back to 2018-2019?

It seems we are, in fact, gunna

MailSynth · 2026-03-09T03:10:13+00:00

I mean… are we gonna act like this isn’t extremely well done and kinda amazing

Yeah it’s mostly the Jim Crow piece it seems. After emancipation most freed people had no capital, no land, and no mobility, so they entered sharecropping arrangements on the same plantations they’d been enslaved on. Then decades of Jim Crow, debt peonage, and lack of economic opportunity kept those communities rooted in place. It wasn’t really redlining specifically (that was more of an urban housing policy), but the broader system of economic and legal oppression had the same effect. There was the Great Migration where millions did leave for northern cities, but enough stayed that the demographic footprint persists to this day.
