My roommate saw me put more cheese onto a frozen pizza & it was like I unlocked something in him. I saw the wheels turning as he realized we don't have to settle for the default amount of cheese the pizza overlords offer us. What goes onto the frozen pizza is in our control. We have the power.

I invented a game. It’s called 4 x 3.

It’s like connections except that there are three words in each category, there are four categories, and one word is in all four categories.

Easy mode is when you know the special word. Hard is when you don’t.

We lost a good friend the other day. Way too young.

He was a *true* friend, which is so rare these days. I’m so glad I got the chance to meet him in this life.

There’s several issues I have with Mark Rober’s LIDAR video, but I think the largest comes down to lack of framing. It tried to be a science experiment, but it didn’t have all the key items to make it a good one.

The Verge's paywall causes me so much frustration. You click on an article, begin to read, and then surprise – this is a subscriber post. Interaction on the rest of the page is blocked and you can only interact with the paywall modal – sign-in, sign-up, and navigate to the homepage.

I went through my old Overcast clips and found a bunch of great moments I’d forgotten about. I used to save these all the time, but now that I mostly listen in the car, I can’t do it as easily anymore. Kind of a bummer.

I’m trying to transcribe all my Overcast clips over the years, but for whatever reason ChatGPT can’t transcribe them. Any ideas other manually using MacWhisper?
