I do think, though that with the pace of technology and global competition that the price will stay fairly close.

At least I don’t think it is going to like triple im price.

Mainly because of local models that people could end up installing on their own computer and Chinese competition.

@nexcess @LiquidWeb @KadenceWP big pet peeve you regularly trigger... releasing theme / plugin updates and the changelog entry for what was in the update hasn't been released.

How am I supposed to know in what ways I'm about to break a live site?? 🤠

It will be interesting to see how this one impacts the tech space. Critical issue but might quickly reveal who takes updates seriously and who is asleep at the wheel.

A critical PHP vulnerability (9.2/10) gets patched at 10am EDT. It can allow full server takeover, and attacks are expected within minutes of release.

LimeCuda clients: we’re on it and will update you today.

Not hosted with us? Make sure your host is on it today.

I think @jenthompson132 uses it as a reasonable variation to put in the mix for building bench strength.

For most of us, I don’t think it is worth it unless you are already doing incline bench, dips, and tricep work. I would also put pause bench in there before it as well.

If you are doing all those variations and different rep ranges - all with the goal of generally increasing your bench and your chest strength, then add it.

Or, if you just enjoy doing it, no shame in pulling it in to the mix. 💪🏻

@david_shane What you really should do now is watch the best rendition of it, the BBC one from 1995 with Colin Firth.

We’ve been busy at @LimeCuda this summer. Sharing a few new site launches we’re very proud of. Today is Epicenter from @quality_schools

This may be the site with the MOST movement / animation we’ve done. Built on a #headless architecture with all kinds of Answer Engine Optimization (#AEO) aspects. 
“Epicenter is the platform charter authorizers, schools, and management orgs use to keep documents, deadlines, and decisions in one place. It supports 4,000+ schools across 35+ states”

Built to be fast, engaging, accessible, and effective for telling the story of how the software serves schools.

My six-year-old is the king of the assumptive close.

Ummm no.

Gave students a relatively simple chemistry quiz today (one page, they just had to memorize the formula and charge of various polyatomic ions).

I graded it, but as an experiment we also had ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and Gemini grade it first.

No model was perfect (worth noting), but Claude was ALMOST perfect, and ChatGPT was very good.

Grok (sad to say) and Gemini both missed lots of wrong answers by students.

Word First is live: the new web home for Mike and Melissa Kruger's articles, books, Bible studies, and podcasts. Plus Surviving Religion 101, Mike's new podcast series on keeping the faith in college.

Fun for @LimeCuda to build a web presence from the ground up for a completely new org.

@thisisfoster Keeping short accounts is easier as you get older and your memory starts to fade haha

Hard to be bitter when you can’t remember who slighted you or why.

[Blake Imeson @Imeson]

what current or potential client of @LimeCuda would be up for an @EmDashCMS site? New intriguing CMS coming from the brilliant folks at @Cloudflare

Might rebuild my personal blog on it soon for fun.

Big news! @melissabkruger and I have just launched a website to be the new online home for our ministry content. It’s called Word First and we are thrilled. We will still produce content on our blogs Canon Fodder and Wit’s End, but we decided it was time to create a central hub where all our content and news can be found in one place.
Also, today I am launching new short-form video series called Surviving Religion 101 sponsored by @crossway (and named after my book of same title) where I will tackle tough intellectual challenges facing Christians today. For details, check out full announcement: https://t.co/kmsAEv7ztc

Between all the many ads on our streaming platforms, all the mail, all the flyers put on our front door, and all the people stopping by trying to sway… I wonder how much money has been spent courting our household’s vote.

Frankly, quite a waste in our case.

[Blake Imeson @Imeson]

Have been grateful that I had at least 15 years of struggling and learning that shaped thinking patterns. Now I can leverage AI and that creativity.

It is going to be harder for young generations, just like being forced to do math via pencil and paper. They are going to have to be disciplined to not take all the shortcuts.

I think millennials are also in that crazy position where they truly are more technologically astute than the older and younger generations. Again, I would credit the struggle of having to navigate poor user interfaces, and technology that didn’t “just work “

[Blake Imeson @Imeson]

AI-generated flyers for events, family, gatherings, kids birthday parties, etc. are this generations version of PrintShop Pro / PrintMaster and similar clip art tools of the 90s / early 00s.

Things like this, and when you see people willingly pulling aside to clear the way for ambulances are encouraging.

It shows that at least occasionally society seems to have some priorities straight.

I’ve had similar thoughts being part of a long funeral procession of cars, and how they block off the route to force everyone to recognize the practical and literal passing of a human being.
