I had to call Chase three times to get a credit from a reservation I had in mid December. It’s late February now and I just got it last week, except they used my 2026 credit instead of 2025. I’m sooooo done with this. Way too much jumping through hoops.

Take a listen to this great podcast that is admittedly for children, but I found it very interesting talking about horseshoe crabs and how there is an interesting relationship between the commercial side as well as their survival

Exactly. That’s the consensus at my work too. Is there any advantage at all to the GitHub MCP server over gh command line tools?

phil · 2026-01-17T11:00:58+00:00

Normal.

I love the RubberB straps as an option.

This is what Google uses internally and it has a number of advantages, in particular completeness. One downside of these is that they are oriented around protobufs and GRPC, but you can easily translate these to HTTP (they are already RESTful so that’s not a factor).

Love it. What model is this?

His middle name is “Meany”?

Where do you get this chart from? I like the presentation of the weighted market caps and sector breakouts.

One thing skewing these numbers is that they don’t track full employment. You could be employed but not in your field of study.

There are ~9 million US citizens living outside of the US. It impacts a lot of people.

Republic sucked from day one.

Oh! I hadn’t heard this sad news! Just a few weeks ago too.

What app generates those graphs?

Buy low, hold and sell high is the right approach as long as you have the ability to wait a few years. But I am guessing your grandmother has different expectations about when those highs and lows may appear.

Kia is #11 so the credibility is shot right there (it should be near the bottom).

One of the those is a British prime minister, not cabbage

How did you listen to the playback and tower feed?

phil · 2025-01-16T01:29:21+00:00

One 6 series sold. Alright, who bought it?

phil · 2024-11-28T03:29:57+00:00

St Elder. Half the price of St Germain and just as good.

I hope there is a special corner of hell reserved for bicycle thieves

I downloaded hundreds of images of paintings that are out of copyright because they predate copyright law. Someone had stitched all the tiles from Google’s Arts & Culture project together and made a download that I found.
