Early in my wife & I’s relationship I realized that if I just set a monthly calendar reminder, I wouldn’t be surprised by the oncoming firestorm. At work, I have done the same: board of directors meetings, quarterly reporting, end of month goals — all inciting moody & irritable behavior. Cycle-hacking at company level. Plan accordingly.

They could pick any other day, but they pick Easter. There’s no need to get emotional if you recognize the obvious.

My XRP-holding neighbor came over to talk about bitcoin last night. Lord, grant me the strength to execute a shitcoiner conversion.

Here’s my theme to the bull run:

The EV hype has been a lot of government interference. Rivian loses $47,000 per car.

To my wife, “Darling, I don’t Google anything. I internet search it.”

Predictive text doesn’t work so well when you type fast. I turned it off. I learned to type reasonably fast in order to get ideas down. For a carefully crafted business email, where trite turns of phrase and corporate vocabulary are needed, it works okay. But during inspiration, I can’t think of it as anything but a hindrance.

It is cold today. My son and I took the dog for a walk on the trail. We spent our time throwing chunks of snow on the large frozen puddles and streams, splintering and making holes. Then I taught him how to walk/run across ice that’s going to break, which would soak his boots. Finally I turned us around before we got too cold, our hands and jackets wet from picking up and throwing snow boulders. There is no substitute.

This image can apply to so many things I can’t think of one.

In California, a free McDonald’s coffee bought with points costs $0.25 because the county charges you for a non-disposable cup. A tree 6” wide cut down on your own property can cost up to $22,000 in fines. To avoid the fines, you need a permit, an approved plan to replace the tree, and an inspector. Meanwhile, the people I talked to denigrated pretty much everywhere else in the U.S. They fiddle while it burns.
