Tim Robinson has this sketch about the phone that, on the surface, is totally ridiculous—but if you take a step back, it’s actually kind of thought-provoking. His comedy isn’t for everyone, but when he nails something, he really nails it. [

We've been a customer of Clicky for like 14 years. Even when GA was functional, clicky was my daily go to. I too was frustrated with GA4 but a couple months ago watched a few hours of youtube tutorials and it really demystified GA4. It

I too enjoy drinking alcohol and a few years back went dry for 90 days. I was disappointed. If anything, I felt worse. A clean diet and exercise has much more of an impact on how I feel/sleep than abstaining from alcohol. Eat less, mov

The classic way to tell if you're regular or goofy is to close your eyes and have someone shove you from behind, see which foot you try and catch yourself with. Probably works better if you don't know the shove is coming.

The top comment in this hn post from a few years ago really stuck with me. I'll paste here. "Seems an appropriate time to post my favourite piece on news addiction by Charles Simic in the NYRB. "I’m having trouble deciding wh

How’s the weight of it when the phone isn’t docked? Perhaps you could add an insert for a steel plate on the bottom so it has a nice feel when the phone isn’t docked?

It’s only a matter of time before someone creates a Taco Bell dynamic pricing engine / realpage like price fixing service. I’m sure it’s already here considering most of these Taco Bell’s are owned by private equity groups.

Use an agnostic payment vault like spreedly or hyperswitch and send transactions to whichever gateway you’d like. Every processor wants vendor lock-in, terrible for a business. I’m not sure there’s a great option for small ecom businesses w
