Just curious, @caseyliss@mastodon.social : is the lack of interest in smaller EVs like Niro EV or the coming EV3 due to the “boring” 7ish sec 0-60 times or because they’re generally targeted at the sub-$50K end of the market? The EV3 isn’t wildly different from Golf/GTI size. @atpfm@mastodon.social

Are podcasts with bad dynamic ad insertion really how most people experience podcasts? I tried a new podcast for an interesting topic, and after the second mid-sentence interruption by a bizarrely irrelevant ad, I deleted the episodes and unsubscribed. What a horrible listener experience.

Return-to-office recommendations: - a small electric kettle, such as Bodum’s Bistro - AeroPress (and bring a small supply of freshly ground coffee in a sealed container) - an insulated coffee mug with lid, like YETI’s Rambler - an inexpensive portable monitor that connects via USB-C

I’m finding that one great use-case for “AI” tools is searching for actual information about products without sifting through the horrible “AI”-generated content slop for those products.

First happy hour of spring 🥃

Pi Day is a particularly strange fake holiday. Email promotions so far include two different vendors offering special wine discounts. 🤔

My favorite bird site in January 2023.

Taking a much-deserved break from the house-moving activities.

Seeing all of the unmasked, coughing people in the airport is gross. 😷

#ThirstyThursday : it’s nearly Friday

It’s quite a relief to return to dining on the deck again.
