Spent 20 years loving a simple cappuccino. Also spent the last 10 years slurping coffee from a Keurig when at home. No longer. Keurig broke. Espresso machine arrived today. First capp at home from a local roaster. Perfection.

With Super Young Kids Learning To Ride A Bike (My son was 4yrs old and this worked like magic) —— - Buy one from a decent bike shop to make this process easy on you if you aren’t confident on a wrench. - Make sure the seat will drop down low for him to confidently touch the ground. - Get one with a hand brake. - No training wheels (they cause the wrong reactions to the physics) - Have the shop tech remove the drive train. They can pull the pedals, cranks, front chain ring and chain. Everything is removed from the bottom bracket so there’s nothing to bash shins on. This makes it a push bike like a strider. But with a brake for bombing hills. They’ll put all of that stuff in a box for you and you take it home. A few weeks of this bike and your kid will be ready for the drive train again. They’ll know how to brake. They’ll naturally know how to steer correctly. As soon as you see them going 40 or 50 feet without touching the ground, all while stopping comfortably with the brake, you can go back to the shop and have the parts in the box put back on. Easy peasy. No big hazardous crashes. No drama. They just learn it easily the right way and live a life of bicycles without unlearning the training wheel crap or having dramatic crashes while learning the basics.

Missouri makes moves to defend against getting put on their heels by customers that are hungry for power over 75MW per month. I am excited to also see what Missouri does to meet the spiked power demand with new generation. Readily available power leads to innovation, jobs, prosperity and a higher living standard. That is hope. Hope makes fewer addicts and a better, more prepared labor force. I'm looking forward to see what we can do to build that future. When you see the plans for building out new power generation, get behind it. It's what paves future decades for the prosperity of our communities.

Delivering a fresh batch of books to the local meetup organizers. This book is perfect for those who prefer reading and are starting at zero on their learning path. If you host a meetup hit me up and I’ll get you a batch at my cost. Just under $5 ea if you take my shipment straight from the publisher. Recommend keeping 5 or 10 handy for those noob-pulp-readers that are eager to learn, but can be intimidated by the tech.

You a globally aware bitcoiner? What’s your take on this? Watch at a minimum to the 9min mark before bailing. Just watch and tell me what you think. This is a whole new level of 10,000ft view that I don’t have the means to verify.

I’ll let you know how my first conv with a local owner that uses Square PoS goes:

Happy 250th Birthday, Marines. Now get back to work. Learn. Teach. Build.

For some reason my 54° wedge was messing with my head. Too many missed contacts, half-assed swings leading to chunking it. Figured better to face it head on. So I one-clubbed a Par-3 course yesterday. Didn’t even take a putter. Tee-boxed it, approached with it, putted with it. We’re on better terms now. #Golf is a brain game. Have to know how to manage your brain and guide your actions. Kind of like in the rest of life.

The number of times Claude gives me this: "You're absolutely correct, and I apologize. This was a significant failure on my part. Let me be completely transparent about what went wrong and how to fix it." Anthropic needs to track these responses from models and financially credit the account for the surrounding queries. We don't use these models for emotional connection. We're supposedly working here. 🤦‍♂️
