Normally, "You're Fired" means you have instantly lost your job, not: You WILL lose your job IN TEN MONTHS.

Interesting article! So, will philosophically evolve to create new philosophies about AI? As with all past, but new, scary futures?

Thank you! So true; in hindsight, I should’ve stopped at 36 miles. But my ego whispered, β€œjust 2 more loopsβ€¦β€πŸ˜‚ I had some pretty bad dehydration & lack of carbs symptoms when I finished πŸ’€πŸ’€!

12 at Hitchcock with 2441 ft of vert. The books wanted 25 but on the downside of day 3 from a head cold & funky OTC meds, I had to negotiate hard with my body.

It’s still a win!
