And the composition of each frame!

Not to be that guy, but as a classic part of the college experience my first time trying mushrooms was my first time watching Dreams. Good lord.

I think I am going to need to do a Kurosawa binge.

Probably like most film school students I had a Kurosawa obsession. These are incredible to see. Would love a framed reprint of some.

Yep

I do this intentionally every year with a multi day food, people and technology fast.

I wrote a how to, didn’t get any traction here on HN, so direct link:

Yes, Cloud kitchens. Guess who has the most high profile one?

Thank you for this!! I’ve got a IIe and Classic in my parents basement (where I used to spend a lot of time as a kid...) that I’ve been meaning to have shipped to me. This would be a fun project.

Just yesterday Ben Thompson suggested that Zoom:

> “ Freeze feature development and spend the next 30 days on a top-to-bottom review of Zoom’s approach to security and privacy, followed by an update of how the company is re-allocating resources based on that review.

They were by far my favorite retailer to work with when I was CMO at Quest Nutrition.

You left really early. What indicators were you looking at to make the call? Is it just you?

In a major west coast city and trying to think through when to leave. Too early better than too late but I don’t have a cabin in the mountains so it will be a significant cost to hide out for a month.

It’s on that list :)

If for some aggressive reason we have to seal windows, or seal off a room. It’s also just a nice general purpose thing to have.

“Hey honey, come with me...”

I’ve spent about $300 to prepare, that includes paying a lazy fee ordering some stuff off Amazon, and optimizing for things I’ll eat in April if this all blows over.

Food and water: Added 25 gallons to my normal water delivery

Protein bars, jerky, dehydrated cheese

Peanuts, trail mix, peanut butter

Big sack of rice (save for earthquake kit after April, don’t usually eat rice)

Canned chili, canned stew, canned beans (Carry over to earthquake kit)

Canned tuna

All of this (sans water) is boxed and in a closet.

Supplies:

Already have plenty of n95s

9x12 plastic tarp

Duct tape (specific for this use, not relying on the roll in the drawer)

Bleach

Extra soap and toilet paper

Big thing of hand sanitizer (noticed a lot of out of stock on Amazon)

I already have a significant medical kit.

I’m mostly optimizing for people panicking and it becoming hard to get supplies for a week or two.

I was wondering about this too. Do you lock your wife in the guest room with a multi-stage plastic tarp to deliver food?

This is a strange thread for me to suggest this, but check out the Zero Fasting app.

Every year I disconnect and do a five day food, people and tech fast. I wrote a little guide on my process [0] If you want to try it yourself.

I find this to be a critical yearly reset. Simple but difficult.

First time load has an ‘in memory of’ sort of like what you’d see at the end of a TV show.

I don’t think Ive ever seen that in an app before.

What tax-planning resources did you find useful?

I do a five day food and technology fast every year [0]. It's an instructive experience to go without these two dependancies. If I have kids it is something I'd want them to partake in when they are the right age, but these extreme measures can't be the only action taken throughout the year.

Background sound. Usually reruns of The Office, which is a bit absurd but it helps me fall asleep. It’s now a conditioned response.

I sleep with one AirPod in. Have been since 2016.

Bit of a hijack but are you still working? I’ve been in LA for 15 years and the plan is to move to SB once we no longer need to work. I love everything about the area (I just did a 5 personal retreat at Lake Cachuma) but job optionality is low.

I’ll be back on Saturday and can’t wait for the peace, calm and beauty.

Had a meeting today where three were in an office together and I was remote on Zoom. Very sub-optimal setup. I like your philosophy.

Same demographic, and I too just heard this word for the first time.

Thanks for the podcast and book suggestion. Diving in now.

I’ve always thought of free will as something that happens in the past. Your “in the moment” response to anything will be based on your choices in the past. Those you have an opportunity to decide through overt habit and routine. Do you come home from work and drink some beers or work on a project? Wake up early and go to the gym or sleep in (because of those beers last night)? These casual chains can be broken in moments of free will. Or not.

Nope. At most, I'll have 2-3 drinks on Saturday night.
