RE: More Rugs than Wayfair.com
That's really unfortunate about the projects built on HIVE being such a disappointment. I feel like the entire altcoin space has become more scammy this cycle. I think it's fine to call things as you see

RE: The Bag, Bruno, and Another Goodbye
We've really cut down on how much we eat in restaurants because we're usually so underwhelmed. Quality has really gone down hill in the last five years. We still have some great local spots but they're

RE: Chilling out in Procida, Italy
Thanks for the link! That will be really helpful for future trip planning. I've heard great things about Florence as well but it's so tough to see everything in one trip. I don't have much desire to see

Thank you! It's not a huge deal though—I can't complain getting it for free. We've found from ordering things for our house that color can be a little off in online photos and that's probably what the

RE: Chilling out in Procida, Italy
Beautiful photos! So many people in my social media feeds are vacationing in Italy right now. It's making me want to experience it myself. What Italian cities would you recommend visiting for someone planning

Lol, that's the food-related shelf of my little library in the photo. : ) Thank you, it does smell really good! It'll be nice having as a travel companion. It was a very good concert! The venue was so

RE: Grok and Claude Go Head-to-Head
I think it's great to compare and this was all for fun. Each of the LLMs have their owns strengths and weaknesses in this tiny sliver of time. It won't be that way for long though. Soon all will be equally

That will be interesting if Apple ends up using Gemini. I've heard it's very capable. I guess compute is the only thing holding many of the models back right now. I think this is what prompted the deal

RE: Grok and Claude Go Head-to-Head
I don't use it enough to justify paying the $300/month for the most advanced version but I bet it's mind-blowing. The same holds true for the premium versions of all these AI-models I'm sure. I'm hearing

We're in the same boat. It's still nice to get a break from cooking every now and then but it's not worth the prices restaurants charge. I can even make better coffee at home than I get elsewhere. My only

That's good to know! I was actually going to try GPT and then switched to Claude because I had never used it before and was curious.

That looks like it was such a fun day! I never would have guessed there was a beach like that on Lake Michigan—it reminds me a little of Myrtle Beach. The food looks excellent! We can't believe how expensive

I'm dabbling more and more. It's been useful for trip planning for me. I had Grok create a packing list based on the destination (Sedona) and it took weather and everything into account. The list is less

RE: Pretty Armless
I'm sorry to hear about all of these injuries! I'd add cod liver oil and creatine into the mix. The cod liver oil will help reduce the inflammation, boost Vit D, and lube the joints and the 5-10g of creatine

RE: My First Cross-Country Roadtrip (gulp) in a Tesla
It’s officially named “Full Self Driving (supervised)” for now and you still have to be in the driver’s seat but after it’s approved you’ll be able to climb into the backseat and nap or read if you want.

Although I've never used Tesla's FSD on a cross country trip I've used it quite a bit on road trips within Minnesota and around town. I'd say it's ready for full unsupervised driving at this point—the
