I really hope the sequel includes how you ended up guest starring with Vince Neil and Tommy Lee in “The Secret Of My Success”, I’m sure it’s a great story! youtu.be/m9sC8vXLziY?...

I think in some cases they think they’re being clever by pretending to be stupid. I don’t think this was one of those cases.

Sure, on the one hand Muse doesn't really do anything, but on the other hand it opens up a massive attack surface on literally all your shit

A simple ClickFix attack is only one way to completely hijack the new agent.

Please know that this is one of my few legitimate areas of actual, high-level professional expertise: Kicking the healthiest people off of a health insurance program will bankrupt it. Not 'could;' not 'might,' not 'probably," but absolutely will, with mathematical certainty.

Bars should give wooden coasters and carving knives to couples on dates to carve a heart and thier initials in. Then they'll have a cute reminder of the date they can take home instead of carving up the bar table. This is either the best or worst idea I've ever had.

I think the economics would be against it, not only from the demand side but also having to pay the insane broadcast fees on much lower profit margins than the average bar.

Other than that, still getting used to Tidal. I like that artists get a larger cut but that’s primarily been the only difference for me. (I’m not enough of an audiophile to hear the difference in quality.)

Also I think (?) having a paid Spotify account removed ads that will reappear in a different app/service that I was expecting Tidal to cover as well.

A little (tiny, even) disgruntled that Tidal doesn’t have a podcast option after switching from Spotify. I get that it may be a better experience for podcasts to have their own app, I just don’t want to go through with downloading one and setting up another account.

Not that I travel a lot, but I seem to go to Chicago more than I go to Milwaukee which is significantly closer, cheaper, and easier to get around. I really need to spend some time getting to know what’s available entertainment-wise there.
