Is it a thing that people brag about their secretive rounds? A recruiter sent me an email about a company that is a "platform that just closed a secret $30M Series B".

It's also "AI-first architecture not bolted on AI"; no idea what that even means.

I don't really understand grading on a curve for automation that's just supposed to, you know, work. I know, I know I'm probably huffing paint thinner or something because I can't see how incredible it is.

The chaser is that I booked an 8am dentist appointment months ago. Yes, I could have changed it, but where’s the fun in that?

Now to enjoy the copay required by the progressively more useless insurance plan I pay for.

I've been going through old pictures/screenshots/whatever and it's clear from the stupid number of MLB/Gameday screenshots that I've been irritated about shitty ball/strike calls for a long time.

Here's one from 2014 from the 13th inning of a game that ultimately went 16 https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/PIT/PIT201404020.shtml

As I was laying on the couch earlier, tucked under a blanket with my eyes closed trying to nap, my wife walked in and said, loudly: “Hey! Are you actually trying to sleep!”

I do still use the Apple Watch, but only as an alarm clock. The silent vibration alarm clock thing is a delight, and I would kill for a purpose-built device that did that.

There seem to be some cheap crap devices that work as alarm clocks, but I’m not sure I trust them. I suspect I’ll be running this watch as my alarm till it completely dies.
