In the stage of hunting at max level to capture the last few creatures, fighting creatures I've already captured. All of my creatures are already max leveled.

Any tips to accelerate or improve my hunting?
Co-worker put a "90s angst" playlist on at the office and it's just...music from the 90s.
For a while in Eugene, I rode my bike almost everywhere (something like 10% of the city commutes by bike and many more ride for transportation not just sport). The city was well-suited for it & I miss that part quite a bit.

It’s the best way to get to know a city, imo.

The average American needs *a dozen* more. HAVE AN EGG.

Saw that a KC friend ran the Eugene marathon & half-jokingly suggested to my wife that I do it next year as an excuse to go back. She’s on board with the half…not sure what to do.
“What are three things you’re thankful for?” is often better than “What are you most thankful for?”

In general, asking for the singular example — best, worst, favorite, etc — is too much to ask someone to think about.

Counterintuitively, asking for a few things lowers the bar and usually invites better discussion.
It’s been a bit since I looked at my wallets (preserving my mental health and all) but I’m delighted to see that @rainbow now shows my token history. Nice work 🌈 crew!
My takes on the World Cup posters:
• Great (distinctly & recognizably local elements; unique, clever, and/or creative; design sensibility): Boston, Dallas, Houston, LA, Seattle

• Good (distinctly & recognizably local elements; lacking creativity or uniqueness; decent design sensibility): Guadalajara, Miami, CDMX, Monterrey, NYC

• Meh: Atlanta, KC (some of her other work is *killer*, but I don’t think this is her best work [which probably isn’t on her]; there’s very little that’s distinctively KC), Philadelphia, SF, Toronto, Vancouver (could have been so good but feels like they ran out of time)

As I've read through the transcripts for interviews I've done this week, it's made me mindful of how much I communicate (verbally or non-verbally) to built rapport ("yeah, okay", "sure", etc.) versus build understanding. While good & necessary, too much of it can break the speaker's train of thought, so I'm trying to restrain rapport-communication a bit more and see what difference it makes.
Meanwhile on ig…

He’s one of my all-time favorite songwriters and he just doesn’t miss.

Sometimes you accidentally wander into a subculture and you can’t get out fast enough.
Do you know how to set deterministic seeds in generative collections?

Would you be willing to take a look at some p5 to assess why the code isn't doing as expected?

Have I got the opportunity for you!

But seriously, I know this is going to be a quick look for anyone who knows what they're doing. If you have a minute to look, I'd appreciate it!
Wild moment that I’m not quite sure what to do with:
Last night, I got together with a few longtime friends and asked ChatGPT to roast the rooftop selfie we took.

A few of these points are so on point that it makes me wonder if ChatGPT is using facial recognition on public material. Or maybe we are just *that* stereotypical? 🤣

(And yes, I’m “the dude on the right”)

As far as I could get. No idea.

Wow, I’m not sure that was worth a penalty for Portland.
