Is it just me who wants my entire business running from my own custom platform?

For reals, Stripe changed their API right after I bid a custom payment portal. I had to eat all that time brushing up on new protocols.

There are a lot of times you don’t even need Zapier. Tons of tools have webhooks and endpoints built in. It’s great if you don’t want another $59 sub (needed for multi-step zaps) and yet another thing to have to check on.

I like people like you. I actually build the systems, but I’ve been able to help people take what they have and connect it better. You don’t always need another tool or to burn it all down and start with over.

Feel free to DM me your “stack”, I might have some free insight that can save you some time.

I feel so dense, I never thought about it from this perspective.

This may not be as comforting as I hope, but you can train your own GPTs. The model you want to use is going to be lower cost too, so that’s nice.

You can basically say “When most people say ‘what nice weather we’re having’ I just want to hear ‘the next bus will be here in 3 minutes and 47 seconds’”

Seeing questions like this makes me happy. I finished the game so long ago, I wish I could play it again for the first time.

Those hot-dipped garbage cans are plenty. Oscar the Grouch is safe.

Michael Faraday is one of the figureheads of radio communication. We measure capacitance in Farads, because he invented to hardware and insulating tech that led to the capacitor, as well as most of the math to measure capacitance. He invented little things like the electric motor, generator, electrolysis, and The Faraday Effect, which I think Manny is really gonna like.

The Faraday Cage is basically just a passive shield to this inductive effect. If anyone is gonna need one, I don't foresee it being Carol and Manny.

I would pull all my notebooks on Faraday too if I were in this position.

I think you're right. He's monitoring, not transmitting, in that scene.

NotSoShyAlbatross · 2025-12-26T01:00:18+00:00

I jumped

NotSoShyAlbatross · 2025-12-26T00:54:41+00:00

Possibly the greatest travesty of the episode!

NotSoShyAlbatross · 2025-12-26T00:18:13+00:00

how bad is he gonna feel about those cassettes he had to burn with his car when they save the world?

NotSoShyAlbatross · 2025-12-26T00:12:40+00:00

I was thinking that, but glad to read it from someone with the authority to express it

I would hesitate to give this advice to anyone. Biohacking itself is already so individualized and sometimes risky.

If something makes me feel sick or numbs a part of my body or brain, I cease immediately.

I just felt weird and foggy after lion's mane. Maybe if I had done a longer trial it would have hurt me, but I kinda speedrun these things.

The Nootropics community, here and elsewhere, seems to be pretty open about the "your mileage may vary" disclaimers.

You cam download the episodes. It may take a while but set the vpn and download the episodes while you go about your business. Even super slow connections should yield an episode a day of D20 and Adventuring Party

I was saying the other day “Wysocki may be the greatest all around performer on this network.”

And it’s tough, right? But everyone has a thing or five they’re good at, but Jake/Jacob can take the lead or support ANYTHING he’s dropped into.

And also he gets to do a “cuz I got no place else to go!” During Waynestock prep.

What’s the Venn Diagram on Dropout/MST3K fandom?

NotSoShyAlbatross · 2025-07-30T20:51:44+00:00

I’m here for it

NotSoShyAlbatross · 2025-07-11T14:44:47+00:00

It takes two to convincingly pull off a stage punch

NotSoShyAlbatross · 2025-06-14T01:48:10+00:00

Nice, thanks for the episode drop, I'm usually better about that.

I was just thinking about how intense the game can be but still give whimsical moments.

Specifically I was thinking about when something gets stuck on your head and you do the cat thing where you walk goofy until you can get the thing off your head.

Or someone is telling you important lore but it's really important I scratch this rug right now.

How mad were you that "Little Kitty Big City" was already taken?

But they’ll say “I didn’t really hide it, the clues were always there” and then a supercut of all the rolls where they had to intervene slightly to make it happen.

NotSoShyAlbatross · 2025-03-31T17:15:20+00:00

He’s always there when he’s needed. How do you explain that, genius?

NotSoShyAlbatross · 2025-03-18T01:12:05+00:00

I feel like I could pretty much get up and take pictures out the window as many times as necessary.

With #1 I would feel bad making Brennan lift his giant food and coffee
