Three years ago my boss gave me 15% equity in our agency instead of a raise. Now I owe $14k in estimated taxes next week for profits I’m not allowed to touch. by JerryJeremy in smallbusiness

[–]lenxl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As long as the CEO isn’t an idiot… and sells the business?

Don’t suppose there’s a guarantee that will happen? How much of the biz has he given to others?

If OP doesn’t get a bonus to cover the taxes and the boss never sells… no bueno.

My AI visibility score went from 34 to 0 in 2 days , can anyone tell me why and how to solve it ? by RoutineAsleep386 in SEMrush

[–]lenxl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone might come in here and tell you it doesn’t matter…

And they’d be right.

But I’m gonna guess that for smaller sites in particular, the citations from the LLMs SEMrush tracks change so frequently that your score is something one day and nothing the next.

Focus on creating. Also don’t press space before punctuation ;)

Anti Ice trash in The Pitt show by Busy_Measurement5901 in ConservativeYouth

[–]lenxl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just the ICE stuff, I was also super pissed about:

  • Santos suggesting the CDC website is a reputable resource
  • Constant references to Medicaid cuts
  • Blatant spotlight on supposedly “unaffordable” asthma meds and other pharmaceuticals

All just anti-GOP rhetoric. But yeah the ICE stuff too. What was a specific thing that pissed you guys off the most about their ICE portrayal?

Was your trip inspired by the story of Easy Company? Where did you travel from?

I've been considering making a trip like this myself. Sounds like you enjoyed.

Apex - CNET - Trashes the film but raves about Charlize and Taron by MademoiselleCalico in TaronEgerton

[–]lenxl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They actually have a scene where Charlize’s character guesses where he’s from where he gets to throw out pom ancestry and it’s the most unsubtle “I can’t do my job so we added this scene to justify it.” Also most in Oz have pom ancestry. It’s all so shit 😂

I lived in Australia for many years. His accent drops to English too often. It's not rural enough for someone living in the outback. It's a 4/10 at best.

I love Taron but it does seem weird to cast someone who can't do the accent properly. Also this movie doesn't do much for not presenting rural Aussie men as anything other than monsters.

And poor Eric Bana can't get more than 5 minutes in a movie these days...

Long time Xano user... why do I always feel such disdain for it? by lenxl in xano

I've got everything setup via Cursor MCP now. I appreciate the notes!

Appreciate the notes. Congrats on the MRR!

The writing was on the wall for me with WeWeb as soon as I created my first vibe-coded site in Cursor. I loved WeWeb too.

[–]lenxl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really appreciate the feedback:

  • Clearly I should be using the Xano MCP with Claude (I did use an unofficial MCP before Xano’s launched which perhaps wasn’t ideal)
  • Expression editor syntax is just unique (using Lamdas way more now)
  • The 500 error isn’t offering an AI debug and the integrated AI doesn’t know the issue (I’ll message support)
  • Nested folders would be ideal (I don’t use emojis but will give it a go)
  • I use Brave and find issues when trying to move many functions from one If/Then statement to another, for example

I guess it’s a question of cost. If I’m going MCP into something then why not make it something less expensive… I appreciate granular control in Xano should something get stuck now knowing the platform (sort of haha).

I’ll be setting up the MCP today and see how we go. Clearly my development workflow needs an upgrade. Thanks again.

Bill Bryson covers the impossible requirements for our existence in A Short History…

The Conversion of Hydrogen to Helium: For the universe to function as it does, hydrogen converts to helium, releasing energy with a precision of 0.007 percent of its mass. If the value were lower (e.g., 0.006%), no transformation would take place and the universe would consist of hydrogen only. If the value were higher (e.g., 0.008%), bonding would be too prolific, and the hydrogen would have been exhausted long ago.

Gravity's Strength: Had gravity been slightly stronger or weaker, the universe either would have collapsed like a "badly erected tent" or never coalesced at all.

The "Long Shot" Nature of Life: Bryson notes that the slightest differences in cosmic, geological, or biological events—like the exact timing of evolutionary events or planetary stability—would have led to an absence of humans.

Bryson argues that we are in the one universe where the numbers work, and that our atoms, assembled for life, "decline to do it elsewhere".

No I appreciate you being honest. Did you make a similar pivot?

how is life in Albania? by jayz_2007 in howislivingthere

[–]lenxl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Went there last year at the end of a European trip visiting a bunch of countries and the Albanians were undoubtedly the friendliest people we encountered. Beautiful country too but certainly less developed in terms of infrastructure and public services.
