This is a very fun idea and I’ve had similar thoughts, without yet turning my mind to execution. Bravo. Is there somewhere I can follow more of your work in the future?

It’s what I call the comedians valley. Naturally funny people are off the cuff and effortless. If they try stand up it takes a long time to marry up elite performance professionalism with natural talent. For a long time there’s an uncanny a

Somehow I have literally never heard of this game. Does anybody here happen to have a video saved that offers one of those excellent “here’s why newcomers might fall in love with this game” videos that YouTubers sometimes put together?

This is how my memory works, especially for autobiographical things. Aka me a direct autobiographical question and I may not be able to retrieve it. Find an association and I can recall with quite astonishing clarity and in ways which I can

There are more books than you can read in a lifetime. There are more books in hypothetical list of “highest rated classic and modern staples” than you can read in a lifetime. Then there’s all the non-fiction. You should read for pleasure an

Is there any good data on the scale of this problem or that can be used to visualise it? What is the cutting edge of cooling tech like?

“We like what we do.” Bingo! Well, that’s half the story, at least. I think there are three factors: passion, traction, and friction. There are plenty of passionate people in less technical domains. They tend to be slowed down because eithe
