@jtr If it’s a half day of meetings where I only sit, listen, maybe provide a comment or two then sure, I may be able to do some extra work on top. But most meetings aren’t like that (otherwise why have them), so the rest of the day is mostly spent preparing for them and dealing with the aftermath.

Rule of thumb: each meeting chews up twice the time it’s scheduled for.

@todd That is the correct stance. Any USMNT achievement from this point forward will be tainted for no fault of their own.

@JohnBrady Indeed. This I think is why Anthropic called its model Mythos. Very Lovecraftian.

@Miraz Thank you, Miraz! I won’t fully unclench until the last box is unpacked at the destination.

@miljko.org 4. Micro‘s crossposting to BlueSky can’t correctly post a numbered list!

@isaacgreene Yep. Yet somehow 12-13 years ago my wife and I managed with mostly snaps. Either our night vision and dexterity were better back then or we selected only the easier ones to do. Probably both!

@JohnBrady Thank you! I am not that old, but old enough to remember when being openly in pursuit of wealth and fame carried some stigma. Or am I imagining things?

@jtr Oooh, I knew nothing about Wizard’s Chest but I see now that the family will be making a visit or ten after we settle in :)

@manton You love to see it! If only it wasn’t our tax money paying for that scaffolding.

@lukemperez Oh, great stuff, thank you for the pointer. Aged all too well.
