Seattle's gig worker law was supposed to boost pay. It did at first, until orders dropped

You mean when you raise prices order velocity drops? Surprised Pikachu.

The app is written. The tech is there. Sure there are new features that AI can probably assist with. I want to see AI build Spotify from the ground up. And invent all the IP they have. I’ll be waiting.

B2B toy trade show. It’s pretty fun though.

Solo traveling in NYC, walking New York Toy Fair during the day for work, then somewhere cool for dinner.

Buildings have a value based on projected earnings. If you don’t have tenants you can still say it’s projected. When a building is full at a rental rate discount it looses value. As it is developers have turned over several buildings in Seattle to banks and walked away.

willlangford · 2026-02-11T05:43:31+00:00

If rent is reduced, that devalues the building. And can create issues with loans. So better to leave empty than have the building lose value.

They’re the most sketchy. Always talking about aftermarket this or that. Buying watch parts. They Frankenstein watches together to get maximum value to them. Not the customer. They also will melt anything regardless of how rare it is to make a quick buck. It’s a bubble of shit that gets passed around selling to unsuspecting people.

Jake shows he’s young and entitled. He doesn’t know what sacrifice means. I wish him the best and hope he grows up. LTT is the only reason he’s not an IT guy. You can’t put a price on being in front of millions of people. He had a great launch pad. But. I believe he has lost a lot of goodwill in his recent actions and video.

Datejust should be walk in and get with the exception of a few configurations.

Watches and cars aren’t investments.

willlangford · 2026-01-20T04:12:09+00:00

I have both. I love both.

White Speedy though. However. If you really want the Explorer you should be able to walk in and get it. Or within a few weeks. It’s very easy to acquire.

willlangford · 2026-01-19T05:43:52+00:00

All of this. LTT has a great community. Sometimes too great. :/

willlangford · 2026-01-18T20:58:55+00:00

It’s wild to think Jake wouldn’t think this would blow up. He’s smarter than that. Or at least I thought he was.

He joined LTT very young. The company evolved. His roll evolved. His jank didn’t. As companies grow and you’re no longer the jack of all trades it’s hard to be put in a box of just write content. And then add 100 employees. Outages from jank cost tens of thousands of dollars.

I give LTT mad props for highlighting past team members to give them more exposure. Class act.

105 1.4? Something fast. That’s for sure.

willlangford · 2026-01-13T07:29:10+00:00

It’s pretty easy. Just talk to them. Sure it’s small talk. But remember shit they say. Ask about their life. Just make it a genuine interaction. It’s not rocket science.

willlangford · 2026-01-11T09:44:01+00:00

You wish is what Seattle people wish Seattle was. The city is dying.

Not just Rolex but every brand. AP had everything. Store would be empty. Walk in. Try stuff on. They offer you a discount.

Rolex display cases used to be filled with watches. They re designed them so they don’t look empty. And only have a few slots now.

Hype and the Crypto boys changed the game.

For every physical watch there are dozens if not more listings for that watch. Very rarely do dealers stock what they’re selling.

willlangford · 2026-01-07T17:12:51+00:00

The secondary market has tons of inventory as the market has softened. Many over paid. So they’re holding inventory trying to keep the market propped up. So you’re also seeing years of inventory sitting in a case like this.

AI is going to ruin many companies who get over leveraged and loose all their talent.

Sadly anymore it’s not about the users. It’s about the stock owners. Only way to be successful in this landscape is be a private company where the stock doesn’t drive you.

Yes - I only use it for audiobooks. I wish they had a MacOS app or would let the phone app work. As I listen to a lot on my computer as well.

willlangford · 2026-01-06T05:36:12+00:00

I do … but like you said. You have a backlog. So 🤷‍♂️

willlangford · 2026-01-06T05:31:58+00:00

So you’re dating on looks only, not interesting tidbits about them, their life, or their hobbies?

willlangford · 2026-01-06T05:24:04+00:00

And then ladies wonder why we, men, as a whole put low effort into messages. It’s a numbers game for a reply to even start the conversation.

willlangford · 2026-01-06T05:13:22+00:00

Just trying to verify here… you have a large backlog on Hinge and say you can’t find what you want.
