I love trackers too! Just recently really got into them this year actually. Your ringing endorsement of Oura is noted though! I'm gonna get one!🎉

(Fwiw though: I do love gamification. Once I put numbers to everything, my life's become enormously directed and fulfilling!!🥳)

My sleep schedule. I go to bed by ~9p and read for a bit. Then I wake every morning 3-4a to start my day! I've been walking ~25k steps daily for a month and it's been life-changing. My sleep+appetite have improved a ton! I recommend it!! Yesterday, I increased my daily target to 27,500 steps. 🙂🚶‍♂️

Thanks for sharing, Sam! I loved learning your story. I am glad you're in a good place now and love all the stuff you make. 🙂

Knowing your lore makes all the stuff you create make even more sense! Thank you for being a generative human; humanity is better for it!! 🎉

Feel better, Maggie! By the way, do you recommend the Oura ring? (There's a big sale currently going on so I'm tempted but I don't know if I should pull the trigger. 🤔)

Also interesting: premium brands (so far) have not increased their prices while value (cheaper) brands have incurred "2x the inflation"! So far, premium brands have been able to eat the tarrifs while value brands have passed the hikes onto their buyers. Tarrifs are essentially a tax on poor ppl. ☹️☹️☹️

on American consumerism. One upside of striking down the de minimis exemption is that's now heavily deincentivized buying cheap plastic trinkets from abroad which is fantastic. I am very anti-materialist+love that Americans overall will now need to cut back significantly. This is ecologically good!🌎

closed his fund, and returned all money to investors.

This, IMHO, is a great instance of Keynes's classic line: "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

I cannot even begin to fathom how much money Burry likely lost (and didn't make) betting against AI. ☹️☹️☹️

@dkthomp.bsky.social keenly observes that "reporting on politics by reporting on politics is like looking into the sun." It's unuseful. To see the effect of the sun, you need to look at what it's shining on: the plants/trees/ppl that the sun nourishes. You understand things through their *effects*.

Oh! That actually explains a lot. I was actually shocked with the 1.6 stars. Like, there are some issues, but IMO, the app's not that bad all!

Re mod stuff, TY for sharing! Idk details but IMO there are definitely issues. eg. I'm falsely on "AI spam banned lists" but have no way of appealing. 🤷‍♂️

Preach, Sister, preach!! 💯 agree!!

morning to continue troubleshooting the issue w/ the in-store reps (whom I'm sure'll be thrilled to see me again😔).

S uses AT&T+pays $45/mo for unlimited everything. I was paying $71/mo to VZW but today I'll be visiting the AT&T store. This is how capitalism works+I'm grateful for consumer choices.

with was professional and patient but this experience has been incredibly annoying and frustrating. I am currently in a situation where my SIM doesn't work so I can't verify my identity anymore via text. After 2hrs w/ them on the phone last night, the VZW rep now wants me to return to the store this

app, the popover of user suggestions appears *behind* my on-screen keyboard. 😞 Granted, I'm on an older device (a 2019 Galaxy S10+) but maybe it also happens on newer devices too? I honestly don't know.

Can you guys please fix it though?🙏 UX matters! Even just a bit of friction will drive ppl away.
