  • I like spicy things. I eat spicy things all the time. One time maybe 10 years ago I ate a “stinger” pie from a pizza place. It was a pizza with hot peppers and hot pepper oil. It was so spicy and so so good.

    The events that occurred in the next 24 hours were something to behold. I was sitting on the toilet, sweating, shaking, and making my peace with God. It was an all day event. Full throttle.

    Since then, my intestinal fortitude has been severely diminished. I have to be careful about eating things too spicy or it will mess me up. It’s like I built up a thick intestinal lining over years and years, and this one event tore down the walls. They were blasted out.

    Life has not been the same.



  • I’m not the person you are responding to, but I am a fellow shoes-oner. I find the soles of my shoes to be way more comfortable than walking on the ground. Like I go to shoes-off homes and they have these foam mats on the floor in their kitchen and it’s like “imagine those foam mats were on the bottom of your feet and went with you everywhere”. Additionally I live in a place where it gets cold. Cold feet suck.

    Now before the “well then wear slippers” gang comes in. I have tried that. The soles of slippers pale in comparison to whatever the fuck my Allbirds are made out of. Additionally, slippers are often TOO warm. I don’t want cold feet, but I also don’t want sweaty feet.

    If I have to wear boots or larger/warmer shoes because of snow/rain, I will absolutely take those off at the door. But when I take them off, I am putting on my Allbirds.

    For me, ultimate foot comfort is my sneakers. I’ll take my shoes off if you have a shoes off home, but I’m not going to enjoy it.




  • “Kyle, every boy pays for kisses. Do you know what I am saying? If you got a girl and she kisses you, sooner or later you’re paying for it. You gotta take her out to lunch, take her to a movie, and then spend time listening to all her stupid problems. Look, look at Stan right there. He’s got to sit there and listen to all her stupid motherf___ing problems 'cause she kisses him. If you ask me, that’s a lot more than the $5 my company charges.”






  • My guess? Because they fired a shitload of engineers and are having the remaining ones pick up the slack with AI vibe coding. They are pushing slop to prod and breaking shit left and right because they need to prove that destroying the world with AI data centers is worth it.

    Spoiler altert: it’s not. Having well trained and talented engineers wite the code works better.








  • Oh for sure, completely agree with all of that, but there is a point of diminishing returns. Like you definitely need functional equipment. And it’s nice to have nicer equipment. But buying yet another guitar doesn’t make you better at the guitar, and you can probably get better by practicing more often with what you have.

    Don’t get me started on music software. I could spend $10,000 a week on plugins that I would never use because they all look so awesome.

    Sequencing on something like LSDJ is great because you are locked into this tiny little ecosystem and you have to get creative.
