These are my go-to desk snacks.
For me, they meet the sweet spot of tasty yet somewhat healthy, and I only need to have small portions.

What tech conferences/expos do you recommend attending in 2025?
I'm looking for events that can inspire, showcase cutting-edge tech, bridge higher-level ideas into business practices, and are not focused on one specific framework or tool. Suggestions?

Why do presidential candidates have (or pretend to have) so much power?
So much propaganda around "deciding the fate of the country" feels like middle-school student council all over again.
Keep the power distributed and keep checks and balances.
