apps.apple.com/us/app/rune...

Offer valid through Monday. Grab it now before you forget 🤗
Three photos of me promoting Runestone's Black Friday sale in a cringy car-salesman-like way. They show real quotes from MacStories and Daring Fireball praising the app and a fake quote saying, "My phone feels ten percent more professional," said by me dressed with a fake moustache and glasses. The graphic also highlights the Black Friday sale with text saying, "Mega sale 50% off" and "Get premium for just $4.99."

An absolutely stunning photo! The 35m-long #Roman shipwreck, along with its cargo of 6,000 (!) amphorae was discovered in 2019 off the coast of the Greek Island of Kefalonia.
It’s one of the largest Roman shipwrecks found in the Mediterranean.

A large accumulation of amphorae scattered across the sandy ocean floor. The amphorae are densely clustered, with many partially buried in the seabed, forming the distinct shape of a ship. The scene is illuminated by dim, bluish underwater light.

Trolls,

Please don't take it personal that I've chosen to ignore you, and when necessary, block you. I have no interest in matching your energy. I'm happy with my life, and prefer to treat people, even strangers, with kindness by default. The world may suck for you, but your behavior isn't helping.

Next Batch. We are going to start employing gas chromatography during the fermentation. Possibly some enhanced Raman spectroscopy.

The FTC has voted in favor of adopting a historic ban on noncompete agreements

The agency has said that the agreements, in which workers are forbidden from seeking a job with a competing business for a certain period of time, lead to an “unfair method of competition” and violate federal law
The FTC Just Banned Noncompete Agreements And It's A Huge Deal
Commissioners approved the historic regulation on the grounds that noncompetes stifle competition for workers. A legal challenge is all but certain.
