@AmexBusiness travel portal asks me for almost all my info over again every time I book a flight. Known traveler number, airline rewards numbers, and literally everything for my wife. Ok bugs happen. So I try to help by reporting the bug and the form to submit bugs is broken 🙄

I think I may look back and realize I was an extremely late bloomer. Feel like I'm just now starting to hit my stride at 34. 44 gonna be god mode.

Does anyone actually think 5G is faster than LTE?

[Shane Williamson @mrwilliamson1]

@JKLade It's not clear if this is adjusted for inflation, but if it's not, the story is more like, "scores continue to fall despite consistent spending"

If you come to France, learn just 5 words you can use to show minimal effort, and your whole experience of the country will change. It's truly wild an entire nation can be so pretentious when it comes to their language.

[Shane Williamson @mrwilliamson1]

It's difficult to put into words how a language you don't know can feel so much more familiar than another language you also don't know... I'm basically fluent in Italian right now thanks to knowing a little Spanish. To hell with the Slavic languages.

Hungary was hard for me to pin down. Budapest felt so multi-cultural it was hard to distinguish the real Hungarian culture. That said, every single thing I ate was delicious, the architecture was beautiful, and the people were quite friendly.

The car thing jumped off the page when I read it. Driving in yesterday I kept thinking, "All these cars are so nice, but I thought this was sort of a poor country, and the buildings are decidedly less nice."

[Shane Williamson @mrwilliamson1]

Slovakia 🇸🇰 makes more cars per capita than any other country in the world (5.5m people, over a million cars in 2019).

Historical Soviet control/influence is obvious in the architecture and general feel in Kosice, but most of the small country is gorgeous forested mountains.

As I travel through Europe, I am going to make an effort to:
- Read the Wikipedia page for each country
- Listen to the country's top 50 on Spotify
- Post what surprises me

[Shane Williamson @mrwilliamson1]

@thesamparr I see the same trends. I'm a CPA with a mix of software and accounting background trying to bridge the gap... We should connect.

Our political system is broken. If we work together, we can fix it. https://t.co/cxI16ABC5T via @RepresentUs

My favorite stress relief therapy is getting in a good workout, then immediately driving to Outback and housing a ribeye and a 9oz glass of wine.

If you can eat steak and drink wine, what else even matters?

[Shane Williamson @mrwilliamson1]

Work is the sacrifice of the present to the future.

[Shane Williamson @mrwilliamson1]

Best option left. Who knows, maybe it's possible?

Most of the hype around generative AI is ridiculous. But getting quick answers to things that can be strangely hard to find is pretty convenient...

Today I spent $100 on dinner and saved $20 by taking the bus and wasting an hour+

I am an idiot.

[Shane Williamson @mrwilliamson1]

@infinite_edward @jordanbpeterson I understand the heat > rising sea levels bit but how does more heat lead to"extreme weather events" ? Legit ignorant and trying to parse the truth here. I think it's possible climate change is a real problem and the proposed solutions are just terrible. Help me learn.

[Shane Williamson @mrwilliamson1]

A few weeks ago I called @JKLade out of the blue. The way he answered was,

"Ah Shane, what an unexpected delight"

That pretty much made my day.
Still think about it sometimes.

I'm not gay tho.

[Shane Williamson @mrwilliamson1]

@JasontKetchum @JKLade It's translated. I wrote that off to something being lost in translation. Like "one of" vs "the one"

[Shane Williamson @mrwilliamson1]

Legit teared up at the end

Best way to listen to the Milei speech in English, rendered using HeyGen, in his own voice.
