USA. Summer. It is 95 degrees outside, and I am shivering inside a sandwich shop.
I have discovered how Americans forge strong souls.
Outside, the sun is trying to kill everyone. Inside this small restaurant, it is winter. My breath does not fog, but it is thinking about it. A man near me is eating a cold sandwich while wearing a jacket. In summer. Indoors.
In Japan we would simply turn it down. Americans do not turn it down. And now I understand them better than they understand themselves.
This cold is not an accident. This cold is a gift.
The owner has built, inside his shop, a second season. He invites you in from the brutal heat and hands you the one thing the sun has denied you all day: a reason to be cold. To endure it is to be tempered. You walk in soft and sweating. You walk out sharp and clear, a slightly stronger person than you were.
So I did not complain. I removed my outer layer and offered it to the woman at the next table, who was hugging herself. She said, "Oh, no, I'm fine, thank you." She was not fine. Her lips were blue. But she, too, understood the training. She would not break first. I respected her deeply.
The owner asked if everything was okay.
"It is perfect," I said, through my teeth, which were chattering. "Thank you for the winter."
He said, "...I can turn the AC down if you want?"
I told him no. A man does not ask the mountain to be shorter.
I stayed two hours. I ordered a hot coffee to survive. Then a second one, to hold. By the end I could no longer feel my hands, but my spirit had never been clearer.
So now, on the hottest days, I seek out the coldest rooms. I sit. I shiver. I sharpen.
And when I finally step back out into the summer heat, and it wraps around me like a warm bath, I feel it.
Reborn.
A man who has survived the winter, in August, indoors, for the price of a sandwich.
@BrenzGarage It's actually unbelievable how bad cars have looked across the board over the past ~5 years
BMW hasn't been the same since Albert Biermann and Karim Habib left
@LajPlays@PokeHEX5555 i think you're right but its not about shorting customers, it's probably because their factories are maxed out
sell ancillary products with less packs because they simply cant print enough cards to fill booster boxes
Here's our video of the explosion at Launch Complex 36. It happened about 9 pm ET (0100 UTC) as Blue Origin was beginning a static fire test of its New Glenn rocket.

@oracles the first impressions are already off to a bad start when they land you on the tarmac and make you take a 10 min bus ride to the terminal...
only to be greeted then by these 3 hour lines
@pohan_msu I’ve been trying to sell my items for so long that the new update made me ineligible to trade on the marketplace without buying 3M power crystals for bronze
I bet we’re ~6mo from a vibe shift back to OpenAI
GPT5.5 is very impressive and 40% cheaper, limits are higher.
Codex is stellar and taking mindshare of the top devs I know.
Teams I talk to are disillusioned with ROI from soaring Anthropic costs. It’s becoming untenable.
@alex_prompter@CampDadCam This is incredible smooth brained clickbait nonsense
Every individual human gets more value out of paying for AI then they would have getting compensated for the “work” they did posting online
You can tell your agent to make a Cloudflare account and deploy the HTML to a Cloudflare Page (for free) so its accessible online
You can also add auth (also free) with Cloudflare Access in case you don’t want the page public
My favorite way of interacting with Claude Code is to have it generate static HTML files as outputs (reports, explorations, code structure, mockups etc.)
I wanted to iterate on the file by commenting in browser and having Claude update the output live.
So, I built this Claude Skill👇
How it works:
- Install Claude Code skill (ask it to clone repo)
- Build an HTML page for anything (e.g. research coding agents and generate HTML report)
- Ask it to make the page interactive
That's it. CC will launch a localhost server and allow you to then leave comments on the page itself and once it updates, will give you a tour of changes.
It's like Google Docs kind of comments/iteration but for HTML pages.
@punk9059 If you look on the bottom left you’ll notice some cards have 1, 2 or 3 stars that indicate rarity
3 stars are the most rare but lots of cool 2 star pulls there so not bad
