First time for everything. On a @Delta flight to RDU and they just announced there’s “no water or coffee on the flight today — sorry guys.” Bathroom sink filled with sanitary wipes since, apparently, there’s no water for washing our hands either. Is this legal?

Andrew Huberman once said:

our brains are plastic, and we have the ability to upgrade them throughout our entire lives.

here are 9 things that changed my life completely:

[Dr. Julie Gurner @drgurner]

Don’t speak poorly of yourself, even as as a joke.
It’s not funny, relatable, or “cute”

It’s destructive.

@tinanguyen_ I need guidance!

[MT @__malida]

what’s worse - @Delta app didn’t notify about the bag not being on my flight. I had to go looking for that information.

[MT @__malida]

@Delta received an alert in your app that my bag was on board my flight… arrived and no bag in sight. open the app, dig into Track My Bag and it’s actually on the next flight. wtf?

incredibly frustrating experience trying to get a fraud charge ($1200!) resolved with @Chase sapphire reserve. going on a month of calls back and forth and systems down and departments not leaving notes for each other. 🤯 perhaps this is the year of moving everything over to Amex

My favorite Charlie Munger story:

In 1953, Munger was 29 years old.

Recently divorced. Lost the house. Huge social stigma of divorce back then.

His 8-year-old son, Teddy, was diagnosed with cancer.

The leukemia was incurable.

No medical insurance - Munger paid for all his medical care.

Charlie would visit Teddy in the hospital every day -- and then walk the streets crying.

Teddy died at the age of 9.

Charlie was broke, divorced and just lost his child.

99.9% of people would've turned to alcohol, drugs, or suicide. (And you'd understand why)

Munger never did.

Fast forward to 52 years old, a failed surgery left him blind in one eye with the potential of going fully blind one day.

Charlie was an obsessive learner who read every book he could get his hands on.

When confronted with the possibility of going blind and no longer being able to read he said:

"It's time for me to learn braille!"

The only thing that might be more impressive than his intellect was his actions.

RIP.

Munger on Self-Pity:

"Generally speaking, envy, resentment, revenge, and self-pity are disastrous modes of thought.

Self-pity gets pretty close to paranoia…

Every time you find your drifting into self-pity, I don’t care what the cause, your child could be dying from cancer, self-pity is not going to improve the situation. It’s a ridiculous way to behave.

Life will have terrible blows, horrible blows, unfair blows, it doesn’t matter. Some people recover and others don’t.

There I think the attitude of Epictetus is the best. He thought that every mischance in life was an opportunity to behave well. Every mischance in life was an opportunity to learn something and that your duty was not to be immersed in self-pity, but to utilize the terrible blow in a constructive fashion. That is a very good idea."

I have an old-ish MacBook Air, desktop, and iPad. Any good ideas on where to donate? Or any of y’all have a need for one of these items?
