@Austen You can get a steroid shot ~1 x year that will cure you 100% for 6-8wks. Save it for your worst season and it’s a godsend.

@thesamparr WSJ recently wrote about this. 1) more walking 2) less processed food / additives https://t.co/UnA1UDUHyr

@immad Takes a bit. I found that once I could run 5 miles consistently (~4X per week) without stopping, it turned from feeling ugh to really good.

@thesamparr @jwmares has a great newsletter on this. TLDR; stop wearing plastics (in most popular athletic clothing)

@rohindhar Today hotels are largely selling a completely different product. Though, many seem to be buying houses and condos near their hotel to more directly compete.

If I were running a startup today, I don't think I could bring myself to use a term as bogus as "pre-seed round," even if it was common practice.

@thogge @kimmaicutler 💯……The “our hands are tied we must keep breaking things” argument is so absurd

[Matt Hawkins @mhawk]

@immad @kimmaicutler Your point is still valid! If they had any brains they’d amend the constitution

@anothercohen + 1 on the Vonlane comments

@rohindhar Have you noticed any patterns to identify the haters?

[Matt Hawkins @mhawk]

@drgurner Yes! and positivity.

@OberholzerM @rohindhar Totally! It’s an experience game in a crowded market. Obsess over customers and deliver over the top delight and you just might win.

Hotels are getting into this game with force and from my personal experience are out delivering any STR I’ve stayed at.

@maiab the cognitive load required to deal with all of these unnecessary "smart" devices is untenable

@JoshuaBaer Leaf blowers are the absolute scourge of otherwise quiet suburbs!
