When the basking of my glory is too blinding for me to see the failing tests.

I read some good books in April. Thanks @thestorygraph.com!

I don't understand. The doctor tells me I should do something to elevate my heart rate for 30 minutes most days. But panic attacks don't count?

I find riding Amtrak to be immensely pleasant and wish we invested more in rail. The options in Michigan are woefully limited.

I would like to be the person to pick the 100 men that go after the gorilla please.

Has anyone checked on Blockchain since AI took over the hype? Are they doing okay?

These last few weeks just prove that the stock market is just a miswired slot machine.
