I couldn't be a musician for many reasons. A big one is that if Ringo came to me and played a song with the lyrics "In an octopus's garden in the shade".

My response would be WTF are you talking about? I don't have that kind of creativity.

My top CIM tip for folks taking the bus from the finish line: You’ll be stuck on the bus for an hour without a bathroom.

Go to the bathroom before getting in line and wait until we’re on the freeway to Folsom before you start hydrating.

You’ll have an hour at the start line for gels and water.

The comments section about the iPhone Pocket is a hoot. There's a rich philosophical discussion touching on questions like: Should this exist? What turtleneck did Steve Jobs wear? How rich should you be to buy nice clothes?

Handcrafted and beautiful catalog free of AI slop. The demands on this glassware is incredible because chemists expect it to handle hash acids, bases, boiling temperatures and freezing temperatures. Cool stuff!

I believe that legalized and ubiquitous sports betting is doing enormous damage across the country.
roryhr.com Rory @roryhr.com · Sep 5
I hate that every other ad on TV is for sports betting. It makes every home a shitty casino.

I don’t mind casinos but we need to rein this in because these sites do enormous damage to people with a gambling addiction and the ads are everywhere.

John Martinez taught me Physics at UCSB! It was Quantum Mechanics and Analog Electronics, as I recall. Super cool.

He was an experimentalist who taught theory but emphasized developing a practical intuition for how things work. He was a great teacher!
