@peteryared @anothercohen You’re forgetting the 2.35% Additional Medicare Tax

@kocienda Turning on a MacBook you don’t use daily is a drag. When I turn mine on, I get a barrage of notifications including replays of older messages. It feels like a house of cards. The UX decay feels unstoppable.

@Billy_Draper Flat fee is a good change but % off list prioritizes overpriced listings.

@adereth Same situation it seems.

@adereth What about fuffy and xylyl?

[Steve Bartz @bartz]

@adereth I used “arose” yesterday which worked very well, but one thought I had looking through the frontier words is that a 🟩S or D in the fifth slot doesn’t help prune the search much and many of those have it.

@adereth My first stab at an effective first guess was adieu. Minimizing the chance of zero hits on the first play feels wise to me.

[Steve Bartz @bartz]

@Billy_Draper Well at least the name sounds like a decent balance to the median American

@adereth I still use that strategy in other versions of Tetris…

[Steve Bartz @bartz]

@adereth I’ve got one! It’s fun to use but feels like I’m always charging the battery. Our dog doesn’t react to it.

@Billy_Draper It’s blue so they know it’s a 12

"most Americans can't pay a $400 expense" is commonly quoted (particularly in pitch decks!) but NOT TRUE.

The media went crazy misinterpreting a study from the Fed.

It came from the stat "only 60% of Americans would pay an unexpected $400 expense with cash equivalent." 🧵👇

[Steve Bartz @bartz]

@mcuban The $400 quotable you are referencing is not true see here: https://t.co/uf9k0kdjXB

@kocienda Yes, slightly tangential to reach, but it was something I looked for when deciding to buy. My thought: “Is this gonna be another game I play for a few days and never pick up again?”

[Steve Bartz @bartz]

@kocienda A daily challenge is a natural thing to offer a limited trial of and unlock with IAP.

[Steve Bartz @bartz]

@kocienda It has a daily challenge and keeps some stats so you can tell you’re getting better. In Upspell, I feel like my high score was a fluke and that’s a bit demotivating.
