Researched a few sites. But wanted practical ideas. Saw people selling questionable used ones at ebay

Bubble?

Is soap included? I seldom use body soap during a shower. Probably once a quarter, when my SO threatens me with consequences.

I am not a researcher, but I have a simple evolutionary theory that soap was invented in the last few thousand years and became a mass-market product after the beginning of industrialization.

If we survived and evolved without the use of something in the last few million years, then why is that thing needed?

Lots of plants can be used as soap with minimal processing (crush the plant in your hand while rubbing it on something). It’s likely that most of our ancestors used soap and we evolved to expect it. Just like we evolved to eat cooked or ground up food.

> If we survived and evolved without the use of something in the last few million years, then why is that thing needed?

Because we didn't. A lot of people died, actually. From germs. Before we knew about Germ Theory.

I see this same type of stuff when people talk about inductions or cesarean sections. "Well humans didn't need that before, so why do we need it now?" No actually... humans did need that before. Half of all infants died. Humans are unbelievably shit at giving birth.

Turns out, humans are bad at a lot of things. We die A LOT less now. Like... so much less that we can't even conceptualize how much less we're dying so then we start questioning if we need soap.

And, as a fun aside, the reason humans are so shit at giving birth is because of evolution. You ever wonder why seemingly ever other mammal is able to give birth and it's super chill but we just roll over and die in shocking numbers? Yeah, turns out evolving to be one two legs has disastrous consequences.

Is your name Richard, by any chance?

Why isn’t there a simple bookmarking solution that can survive technology shifts?

Forget Model Context Protocol — we’re talking Meme Creation Platform. :-)

Because sometimes the only way to explain AI complexity… is with a Drake meme.

We built a natural language meme generator using Claude AI + Imgflip.

Type your idea, get a meme. That simple.

Perfect for dev rel, product launches, or just roasting your team’s JIRA board.

Happy April 1st — but this one’s actually real.

Maybe the T-800 comes back reprogrammed to save us.

He is feeling out of place, his stock is down, his popularity has tanked.

He probably got what he wants from the current admin.

Hope it doesn’t get late.

op exhibited a point where if we do not know what we do not know--the estimates are always off by many order of several magnitudes.

if op consulted an experienced plumber--the estimates would be off probably by an addition hour.

if a junior dev estimates, yup, I can change the API endpoint in 10 minutes, he'll be wronged by the nuances of several intermediate steps:

- code

- review / merge

- deploy to qa

- qa testing

- deploy to staging

- deploy to prod

likewise for plumbing: "mom, i plugged the leak with a band-aid."

and cities can build roads and highways too?

I read the headline incorrectly as hard delete

But looks they just soft deleted the entry in their database.

Would have been interesting if we did just throw a satellite at it to deflect it's course.

Then I remembered we're still probably decades from being able to do such things on demand.

@paras: Congrats! If you remember we met in Palo Alto when you were thinking about moving to the Bay Area -- I spilled my tea which soiled your t-shirt :-)

This is a fantastic outcome. Why not keep going?

Yes, sir I do remember :)

Why not keep going? Well, everything comes to an end eventually. Projects are kind of like that - they start and they end.

Amazing!

Good luck with whatever you are planning to do next.

Hmu, if you are in the Bay Area next.
