I’m with you on bidet. I just won’t shite until I come back home. Try to keep trips no more than 3-4 days.

Same here man.
I think it’s a lack of mobility for me. If I deliberately try to shift my weight my head moves too much

Is it better to go with HVAC contractor's preferred units or a DIY unit with the pre-charged lines? I'd hire an electrician to pull the 220 + subpanel and have a general guy install the unit (probably still $1000+ in labor)
This is the unit I think is best for my space:
Mr. Cool - 24000 BTU
ETA: I think I know my answer and will start calling contractors around here for their pricing.

Very cool. I do something similar with my trips haha. Helps keep me organized with packing for the kids and myself along with itinerary management.

I’ve always generated HTML for my projects to keep actual project status and findings. So maybe I was just ahead of the curve a little (but I find it hard to believe, I’m just guessing I don’t understand).
I’ve been creating dashboards for each project I work on to keep all change logs, statuses, bugs/enhancement requests etc. because my brain is not reading through markdown files over and over.
Markdowns for Claude. HTMLs for me.

I watched a YouTube video a while back on where an accountant was using Claude to analyze client bank statements and upload to QuickBooks. Was pretty impressive.
I'm working on a project that will standardize journal entries across all 20+ divisions we operate in. It's a heavy fricking lift since no 2 divisions do things the same way. Eventually, we take the statements, populate the JE, and post to the ERP.
Historically, RPA automations like this would take a long time to develop (requirements would take even longer). But I'm basically building out the automation while requirements are being sorted out. So I'm building and pivoting on the fly as more details surface.
What are the coolest applications/projects everyone has been working on? I feel like I've built some pretty incredible things, but I worry it's to industry specific to eventually market to other types of businesses.

. Calls for using HTML over markdown files.
Idk if I'm not IT enough to understand this idea or what. Of course sharing documents with visuals makes more sense than sending a wall of text in a file?
I was expecting this to say that the LLMs do a better job of digesting HTML than MD files. Otherwise, I don't really get the point of the article.
What am I missing?

We’ve got a usage dashboard it’s funny seeing people consuming ungodly amount of tokens and then you see they’ve only had 2 sessions. They’re literally just plugging away at one chat for weeks on end haha

I do feel the token pricing schemes that are coming are about to blow the roof off on some people. We have some agentic workflows that cost several grand each run, those are going away in 2 weeks :(
I haven't looked into this. I'll have to research.
We have 250 seats for our enterprise setup. I'm willing to bet 50%+ of them are not worth the ROI for the company.
AI in the Workplace - Open Discussion
Posted by Lazy But Talented on 5/13/26 at 11:12 am
I am an RPA (robotic process automation) developer at a Fortune 500 company. Like all major companies we have started heavily incorporating AI tools. I've really enjoyed using it as it's taught me a lot and has improved my productivity. But I believe we are moving really fast without much planning. People don't seem to understand that while Claude and other AI tools can help ship faster, it does not always get everything right and does not have the business knowledge. Currently dealing with vague requirements, scope creep, pressure to ship daily updates across multiple projects with a very small team (by very small team, I mean me, since I am the one who has dove in head first). It feels unsustainable - especially at my current pay rate, but that is a different discussion.
I am curious what other people are experiencing out there. Few discussion prompting questions here for ya:
- What is your role and what industry are you in?
- Did your company already have any type of automation in place before the AI push, and if so...what were you using?
- Who is spearheading the AI transformation at your company? Is it leadership, IT, or someone else?
- Are you feeling pressure to move faster than is realistic or is your team handling the pace well?
I am also about to start looking for my next role, and I am trying to figure out what good actually looks like before I land somewhere new. So if you have seen a company handle this well, I would love to hear what made it work.

I replaced my working overhead chamberlain MYQ for a Jack mount Chamberlain. Works the same with the app. Is quieter, smoother up and down travel.
Same. Much quieter and smoother than the overhead unit the builders put in.
Swapped mine out to swing the driver in the garage.
Every house from now on will get the side mounts installed.
