Favorite travel accessory and so much better since they added a USB charging option

Philips OneBlade 360 is an amazing personal grooming device.

@NickParkerPrint You can tell when the people who make a product don't consume a product. The real solution here is to buy a better pesto.

@solve_sf So much fresh air there!

@levelsio The real luxury is getting where you're going and not giving a shit about your baggage at all.

[John @johnspaetzel]

@levelsio But also it has to be fully dysfunctional. A little denting won't cut it, that's operating normally for baggage.

It's sad how difficult it is to find quality free apps considering how many are being created, the slop has only made the good ones harder to find

[Jen Zhu @jenzhuscott]

Massive output uptick due to agentic AI. Complete flat adoption.

[John @johnspaetzel]

@maria_rcks @opencode @alan__rice Because the content doesn't slap

[John @johnspaetzel]

@inve1ns Oh SF does, for example we have a neighborhood that was divided up just so a few blocks could be rebranded by Salesforce. It has its own website, events planning, etc. https://t.co/CzUEHZrK3I and this is one of the more boring ones.

[John @johnspaetzel]

@number_pizza111 Why

[John @johnspaetzel]

@SinaHartung One nice thing about being gay in tech in SF is that I don't have to debate the merits of the neighborhoods and instead just live in The Castro.

Hardside suitcases are all crap and should be avoided whenever possible

[@levelsio @levelsio]

Update on the Rimowa story: we flew Copenhagen to Lisbon now

They somehow managed to do this to it 😂

$1000 suitcase! 🤡

P.S. I didn't buy it, my gf did, she's more susceptible to brand value (and paid influencers)

Rimowa I think is really just way worse than any $100 Samsonite or American Tourister suitcase that never breaks

If you want to pay 10x more for 10x less buy Rimowa (or anything owned by LVMH)

Stay away from luxury brands!

[John @johnspaetzel]

I've never stayed in a place and needed daily cleaning, I normally just put up the DND anyways until the third or fourth day. People should learn how to be less disgusting in general and appreciate the lower prices that eventually come from this type of change.

[@levelsio @levelsio]

The hotel eco scam explained by @grok

So they can add $20-$35/night in profit if they don't clean your room

While virtue signaling to customers that they're sustainable and fighting climate change but they're not🍃

It's all greenwashing to make more money off of you while giving you much less

Interesting

@thebolditalic Someday I'll be able to afford a Keurig

[John @johnspaetzel]

Why isn't instant coffee already mixed with the instant creamer??

[John @johnspaetzel]

@masonwarner you joke but I do have a friend who lives in a room under a staircase in SF

[John @johnspaetzel]

@jasonhywang The new park over there is nice, it's slowly glowing up

[John @johnspaetzel]

@carolenaleon If anything, I could go for an untech week

[John @johnspaetzel]

@allgarbled Oakland really needs to figure out how to keep a mayor for more than a year

[John @johnspaetzel]

@Fai5alAld0sar1 @Hedgeye The working class doesn't have to buy the index, only a tiny bit of self determination is all that it takes to not be a part of this.
