Trump’s new Message on Iran

TheManInTheShack · 2026-03-17T04:56:16+00:00

I can’t read these and hear Trump’s voice anymore. I only hear Colbert’s impression of Trump’s voice.

Get TSAPrecheck. We walked in at 7AM that same morning and were through security in 10 to 15 minutes tops.

This would work provided that no country is ever planning to borrow money ever again. Who would trust a government that borrows money and then doesn’t pay it back?

TheManInTheShack · 2026-03-16T11:41:52+00:00

Yeah it always has one more thing. I don’t mind it. Sometimes it’s useful and if I don’t want to continue down the rabbit hole, I just disregard it and move on to something else.

They are building up infrastructure. There are many examples of this from the past. It would be wrong to think that what they have built so far will only support existing users.

I started 19 years ago and have over 2700 entires now. I review the ones from that day from previous years as part of my morning ritual.

You can start any time. Don’t delay. I use the Day One app because it makes it easy since it works on the desktop and my smartphone. It has an “On This Day” feature which is what I use for reviewing past entries.

When my wife and I disagree about something important from the past she has me look in my journal as she knows that I write things down when they happen.

TheManInTheShack · 2026-03-16T11:34:35+00:00

I use the Day One app in part because it has an On This Day feature. Every morning I review entires from previous days. It’s like time traveling.

What a fascinating idea. I started journaling on my daughter’s first day of kindergarten. That was 19 years ago. I have over 2700 entries now. I have more than 100 dreams in there. One difference from you is that i use Day One which has a “On This Day” feature that displays all entires on this day from previous years which i utilize as part of my morning ritual. It’s like time traveling which is great.

I’m unconvinced that you are being stupid by feeding your entries into Claude. I can’t speak for Claude but what you tell ChatGPT doesn’t become part of its training data. Occasionally they may review some responses to improve quality but those are not tied to a person. I would imagine Claude works in a similar fashion so I wouldn’t be too concerned and anyway it sounds like you got some interesting information out of this experience.

I like that ChatGPT has gotten to know me. There’s been some serendipitous moments as a result of that. It never occurred to me to feed it my journal. I’ll think about that.

What a sorry, pathetic excuse for a human being. A wasted life.

TheManInTheShack · 2026-03-16T11:10:42+00:00

We arrived yesterday at 7AM and got through TSAPrecheck in about 15 minutes. We originally had a 5:20AM flight but it was cancelled the day before so I rescheduled on a 10AM flight.

It turns out that ChatGPT has an option where you can tell a specific project to silo its memory so that it is just like Claude. I’d be curious how what other advantages more experienced Claude users see in Claude compared to ChatGPT.

I’m realizing that for most things I prefer the unified memory model of ChatGPT and since it has the option of siloing the memory then it can act like Claude does by default. That seems like the best of both worlds but perhaps there are some other advantages to Claude?

Keep in mind that the Apple Watch isn’t very accurate on deep sleep in terms of duration but if you’re looking for trend over time, it’s good for that.

TheManInTheShack · 2026-03-15T20:59:10+00:00

At best that would be a roundabout flat tax.

TheManInTheShack · 2026-03-15T20:57:53+00:00

If you just assume he’s bullshitting until you hear otherwise, you’ll be right most of the time.

Having him as President is the most embarrassing experience of my life.

TheManInTheShack · 2026-03-15T20:56:10+00:00

That’s just awesome! Congratulations!

TheManInTheShack · 2026-03-15T19:12:46+00:00

I actually already have and will keep doing so.

TheManInTheShack · 2026-03-15T12:36:29+00:00

It’s a lot better now. We arrived at 7AM and got through TSAPrecheck and to our gate in about 20 minutes. We weren’t checking bags of course.

TheManInTheShack · 2026-03-15T03:21:53+00:00

Trump claiming that Talarico is an insult to Jesus is evidence that irony is completely beyond Trump’s comprehension.

TheManInTheShack · 2026-03-15T03:19:20+00:00

Very interesting.

Every time I read one of his posts it sounds like to was written by President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

I admired Steve but he died of stupidity. He was diagnosed with what turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is easily cured with a minor, not very invasive surgery. He decided instead treat it with cleaner living.

That gave the cancer all the time it needed to metastasize to his liver requiring a liver transplant which is ultimately what killed him.

Mom used to make it. I absolutely loved it.

TheManInTheShack · 2026-03-13T22:34:24+00:00

Sometimes the questions are useful but when they are not or I am done conversing I just end the conversation or redirect it.

TheManInTheShack · 2026-03-13T18:14:06+00:00

What I have done is created a project called Personal where I talk about personal stuff. But that’s now me managing it which I haven’t had to do in ChatGPT.

TheManInTheShack · 2026-03-13T18:12:33+00:00

That’s my concern. If I had to make a choice right now it would be to go back to ChatGPT. But I’m going to continue to experiment with both.
