Very interesting to see who didn't acknowledge my move to France whatsoever

A couple people I interact with almost daily haven't acknowledged it. So weird.

Expanding my adventures to home goods after mostly successful hardware store runs the days before (minus the theft accusation)

Really digging the urbanism shift in my life right now and funny store names

Place du comédie at night

Don't mind my Sunday night dinner run at all

I welcome it! Maybe they'll help me find stuff

Hahaha OK. I can do that!

Yeah La Vaquita is pretty good. Probably the best in Durham. I wouldn't call it *great* though. And the wait was always ridiculous.

Everywhere I lived in California (10+ places) had better Mexican within walking distance.

I'm being that annoying California guy right now lol. Apologies.

It's not bad. But I never had great.

Which places in Durham were your go-tos?

Mexican food in Durham is pretty 5/10. Not surprising!

Update: the AC was such an improvement that I went back the next day to buy another.

Took the hand truck with me I bought with the first one. They thought I was stealing it lol.

All good though. Everyone was nice and eventually let me leave.

Tell me more! We only went to one beach (Palavas-les-Flotes). Which was your favorite?

Peak #urbanism.

Nobody even looked at me funny.

I haven't seen a good argument yet for how we overcome the challenge of model decline as models increasingly train on their own texts.

Ezra Klein did a short series of podcasts on this topic list year. Seems very plausible that AI will be an amazing technological boost for humanity, but fall far short of the biggest expectations.

Moving is the most painful activity a human being can engage in

I refuse. Shorts and t shirts until November.

So weird! We were at a pool party on Saturday and it was COLD

My partner's greatest accomplishment is transforming me from hoarder to minimalist.

Friend in high school had one of these. Ridiculously cool. Crazy fast.

Paying more makes it cheaper. Econ 101.

3.0??? That's somebody sneezing across the street.

3.0? Guys... that's like a truck driving by.

Thanks! Will do!

Great time to be doing summer camp pickup

That's awesome! I'm excited to be part of the expat club again.

We've been talking about heading up to Copenhagen eventually. Is that where are?

Thanks! Where are you???

Misc observations as I'm prepping to move this weekend:

- Resale value of home goods is very good, presumably because of inflation.

- *LOTS* of Reddit posts about how hard the job market is.

- Lots of people also working on expatriating

Not sure where this all goes but weird times for sure.
