I previously asked ChatGPT (albeit several months ago), as an experiment, to answer some general questions in the voice of Don Rickles. I’m hoping this capability somehow survives.

Don’t pass up Marfa Burrito, just off Highland Ave. Gigantic and extremely good. It’s a cool town on the edge of nowhere.

It did my heart good to see Forth listed.

I'd almost pay attention to the message, but Kennedy has no credibility with me. Giving up 90% of animal protein has made me leaner with vastly lower cholesterol.

Sounds like a good reason to not invest in parking garages.

Meanwhile over here in WV, we are saddled with above-market electricity rates thanks to our state (non-)regulatory commission and a desire to keep old coal-fired generators operating. It drives us nuts.

I use RememberTheMilk for this work - especially the notes feature for appending thoughts. Giving items a due date ensures I need to review things.

Kinda surprised to not see Forth listed.

JEDEC has long maintained an EOL/EOS standard for semiconductors. This was a big part of a previous PM gig. Sounds boring, and it was. But having a process kept us out of serious hot water.

Boy, if robotics could learn how to bubble wrap, tape, box and stack both hard and soft items… They could hitch a ride on the back of a panel truck. Somewhat similar to forklifts on the tails of Home Depot delivery trucks.

Not exactly Nobel worthy. :-) I’m rebuilding a learning library. Webpage bookmarks (with big help from raindrop.io), PDFs (hundreds of them, mostly book chapters), images, jupyter notebooks, markdowns, etc. using a Jekyll static site genera

It certainly was for me. I learned how to build Forth on my Commodore.

I’m hesitant to simply say “read this”, but please consider The Mom Test. It’s a quick read & teaches how to structure conversations with potential customers.

I got a taste for this years ago at Harris Semi. Grokking their RTX microcontrollers was a ton of fun. (Not so much for customers, who'd never seen such a thing.)

Vastly underrated. Props.

Agree. Feedly is my first open tab every morning.

My mom is in an assisted living center. The floor above hers is reserved for memory care residents. I'd love to see how to incorporate this into their affairs.

The kicker for me was hearing that the NTSB - and NASA - rejected Boeing's fault tree.

I live in WV. This explains why my local farmer's market doesn't stock them.

I lost an uncle to black lung in a WV underground mine. One grandfather lost an eye (explosion), the other broke his back. I’m happy for Chris’s dedication - but this industry needs to die.

I installed mark to investigate turning lots (a couple of hundred) of local PDFs into study guides and/or summaries. All of the PDF links bombed, mostly due to UTF-8 decode errors - which is fine. I pdftotext'd a few and ran into

You’ve got to have a local core of people to bounce ideas off each other. I moved from Austin to Appalachia to care for parents. The lack of any entrepreneurial spark here is just jarring. People just keep their heads down. They want better
