@FutureJurvetson @grok explain this to me like a 12 year old. How is it same and different to rfid and AirTags. What will change.

@naval @grok how could this be evaluated. And what’s the score currently.

@AlexFinn @grok how funny is this. Which components of it could be true. Which are not yet.

Unboxing Cricket: Episode #2 The Analysis That Doesn't Exist https://t.co/x0WfKk78SO

[Paulo Johnston @PJohnno]

CLR James asked: "What do they know of cricket who only cricket know?"

70 years later, I'm asking: What do they know who can't even explain what's happening INSIDE the boundary?

Here's what I'm unboxing from the commentary...

🏏 UNBOXING CRICKET
Richie Benaud: "Put your brain into gear and if you can add to what's on the screen, then do it. Otherwise, shut up."

I've been waiting for Ashes commentators to follow that advice. ...still waiting.

Time to unbox what we're NOT getting

$10,000/yr Recovered!!! I Built an AI Agent for a Car Mechanic

(and am crazy for giving it away for free)

The owner of this local repair shop gets tons of quote requests via email, but most are missing key details for the car (make, model, year). He only checks emails after work, so incomplete requests create a 24-48 hour delay just to ask for basic info.

"I lose customers because of that delay," he told me.

So I built him an AI email triage agent with n8n that:
→ Scans every inquiry the second it arrives
→ Instantly replies asking for missing details if needed
→ Texts him a summary when quotes are ready to process
→ Logs everything for tracking

The result? His inbox is now full of "quote-ready" emails by the time he gets out from under the hood. No chasing customers, no wasted time, thousands in recovered sales.

The best part? This system works for any service business that handles quote requests via email.

With 230,000+ auto repair shops in the US alone (most with zero AI and zero automation), this represents a massive opportunity for automation consultants.

I just dropped the full 25-minute build tutorial on YouTube, breaking down every component.

Want the complete n8n workflow template?

@samkindlen I bet there’ll be a few celebrations like that at McKinnon cc this year. Enjoy looking after Gordo and the boys.

#AskTDU What heat training would European riders do before the TDU? Do locals still have an edge with modern heat adaption knowledge and equipment avilability?

[Paulo Johnston @PJohnno]

@TANNEDRUSSELL @MulcahyLiam I don’t disagree. It will be interesting to see levels of support, etc and how successfully he does back it up. Do you remember Davey Warner had detractors at times for over-aggressiveness?
