@leerob Pain point: resetting my bot's computer wipes its Tailscale login. My bots lose my self-hosted memory server until I approve a new sign-in, and my tailnet is up to grokbot-box-2. Fix: keep network logins through resets, or ship a built-in Tailscale connector.

I just don’t understand how you admit you’ve not been to a grocery store recently. Also as someone who goes like 3 times a week I don’t understand how families work together with only one member buying groceries?

Finally does anyone really believe that a random person at Walmart (a) recognizes him and (b) remembers he’s a doctor not a politician?

If you Google “out-of-touch politician,” @AlvaradoForKY comes up:

@KelseyforKY I honestly can’t understand how there are families where one member doesn’t go to the grocery. How does one live that way??

@Musecases I mean there’s a screenshot media type category in Apple photos that’s a pretty easy filter!

These comments win the internet today. Everyone else can go home.

I can’t imagine how it could be set up in a way where it pays for itself on subscriptions alone, at least in a commercial way. And the advertising model doesn’t drive business results like it did two decades ago. There has to be a good model for it somewhere but it would seem like it has to be a non-profit, focused on hiring the best and being much much more nimble.

Super excited to see this but how can it be a movie? Seems like a GOT style long series would work better???

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

A ‘RED RISING’ movie is in the works at Paramount

• Francis Lawrence (‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’) set to direct

• The story follows a young miner living on Mars who attempts to bring down the color-coded class system

@naoufal_elh Looks like the unify api for cursor isn’t working though so can’t apply the sub to the bot

[Ben Self @bself]

@naoufal_elh Worked for me from the phone just now

@naoufal_elh Thanks!

This looks great -- I subscribed and I hope you do too. Good to have more local independent coverage of UK sports -

[Ben Roberts @InsideKentucky]

Big personal news: I've left the Herald-Leader, but I'll still be covering the Kentucky men's basketball team full time.

If you enjoyed my coverage in the past, I’ll need your support to make this work.

Here’s more on my new (independent!) approach: https://t.co/EC4VParKUh

@InsideKentucky Sounds great, subscribed -- good luck!

See you tomorrow at Oktoberfest?? We've got a STACKED day in Lexington! From Polka Dancing to Stein Hoisting, German-style beers, and more! Check out the schedule and join us for the fun!

[Ben Self @bself]

@tbonier So sorry to hear this. A pioneer indeed.

[Ben Self @bself]

@TheRealJBeagle I think the casualness with which it is discussed makes it seem like it wasn’t the only check written!

[Ben Self @bself]

This feels like Game of Thrones for people who aren’t very bright.

Eric Deters warned the White House last week he wanted help with something, and if he didn't get it, he'd go public saying US Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle asked him to pay $100,000 in credit card debt for her. Trump chief Susie Wiles didn't answer him.
Deters told @CBSNews today he wanted the extradition of a Pakistani doctor who did spinal surgeries on patients who didn’t need them. "Thursday, I sent Susie Wiles, Don Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle an email, and I told them, I said, 'You got until 5 o'clock on Monday to help me out with the Durrani victims,' and I just said, 'Let me know what's being put in motion' -- meaning the extradition of Dr. Durrani. They didn't respond. And I told them, 'If you don't, I'm going to go to the media and try to get the media's help because you're not helping.' So I gave them one last shot, and they ignored me," he told @weijia

Interesting. Maybe they’ll make a smart deadbolt that doesn’t suck. I’ve tried 4 of them so far and they all are horrible.

[Mark Gurman @markgurman]

NEW: Apple - in an unusual partnership with LG - is readying a Doorbell, Deadbolt Lock, Thermostat, Indoor Camera, Outdoor Camera, Floodlight Camera and more to rival Amazon and Google as part of its major smart home reboot. https://t.co/38pmnpaRSr

Apparently an insurance comparison was simply one bridge too far.
