"My Life As a Homeless Man in America"
Less than a year ago this was published in Esquire. It's an excellent read and I think YOU should read it.

Ordered an iPhone Air. Still can’t decide which watch to get.

Well, I got the #Covid again. Second time since pandemic started. I went to a doctor’s office masked to get prescriptions for something unrelated… the waiting room was full of sick people (they made them masks, so that was good). My wife never got Covid yet, but we no longer live in a house with a spare room to isolate like last time. I hope she doesn’t get sick.

So annoying. Was planning on getting new shot end of September for travel in November/December. 😔

I’m currently at stage 4 in this video…

When you move to #Hawaii the email spam from airlines shifts to different kinds of vacation advertisements…

Good write up on Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE) #Apple developed. It does look like developers will need to start turning on this feature in their own code. Will require some software engineering.

I wonder if those integrated AI features in #Xcode can help? You know just sprinkle some new code, frameworks, and tags everywhere…

Going to order a new #AppleWatch, just trying to figure out which model: Series 11 or the Ultra…

My Series 7 battery is not doing well.

Anyone else?

On #Reddit r/wallstreetbets you can bet on a stock or options pick. Losing results in being banned from the community (subreddit). Honestly a great idea for a bot to enhance the subreddit experience…

“Amazon to end long-running Prime invitee program”.
Been using this invite from a former roommate I had since 2006. Almost a full 20 years of free shipping!! Soon will be time to pay up I guess. Either for shipping itself or for Amazon Prime…

Have never been arrested but this actually reads like such a great way to do it. I’m not fat enough to require more than 3-5 grown men carrying me though…. 😔

Maybe now #DigitalOcean will update their supported Linux distribution list to include #Debian #Trixie. 💅🏻

I’ve been migrating all my domains to https://porkbun.com/ . Prices are very cheap. The biggest money saver is that WHOIS privacy is included for free. Almost all other registrars upcharge it as an add-on. #feditip

Worth it. #fediverse #mastodon

Happy to see #Honolulu Costco has Coke instead of Pepsi.

Bride leave’s groom at alter over vows written by AI. Groom says overreaction. Hope this gets boosted more because it’s an interesting topic.

Nooooo! I’m going to lose a free ride I’ve been enjoying from a roommate I had 17 years ago! 😭

Renting since moving to #Hawaii, my landlord has me send rent via Cash.app.

It’s also extremely annoying as Cash.app doesn’t have great relationships with banks. I can only withdraw $1k at a time to Cash.app, so I need to do at least 3 transfers a month to have enough money to pay rent. I’d prefer mailing a check to be honest. (I’ve contacted my bank and they said there are no restrictions on their side …) 🤷🏼‍♂️

"Exposing the Monsanto Conspiracy". I hope this holiday weekend was ruined for a bunch of losers at #Monsanto as they cook up more excuses and #disinformation. Nice documentary #Veritasium...

Most disturbing result of this post is the number of nano fans jumping in. I could never!

Nice read about factoring complexity using quantum computers. Here is a little factoid to hook you into reading: The difference in complexity in factoring 15 vs 21 is 115x. By complexity the author means greater than 115x more entangling gates. It is why a quantum computer has so far not factored the number 21. #quantumcomputing

Looks like #mastodon is winning the #decentralized game for social networks. Good job #fediverse!!
