PJM - October '22

Gobble gobble... πŸ¦ƒ Turkey season is here!

October was a mix of highs and lows for me...

On the plus side - I got to take an absolutely epic, peak fall-foliage trip through the Northeast US.

And on the down side - I got absolutely swaaaamped with work since then. Straight keyboard zombie, terrible diet, no exercise, startup life ... but no benefits of free beer and ping-pong tables πŸ€”

Sooo yeah...that was quite the trip. But so worth it!

I love traveling to new places more than anything - but August through October, there's no place I'd rather be than the Northeast US. I love the crisp air, the changing seasons, and of course the fall foliage. I could watch it year-after-year my entire life... likely will 🀣

A beautiful description on how to see the world, experience cultures, and meet locals.

Equifax used its own worker surveillance product to spy on workers fired. If it's interfering with the job - yeah they deserved it, if not - politely f*ck off.

AirTags have become an incredibly popular way for people to keep track of their checked bags. Lufthansa has now banned these. Here's why.

Science

More Hurricane news - and reason I want an electric truck! The 'Grid' days are over. Energy autonomy is here!

Uhhhhh that's not good.

#powercouple ...unless Alex Jones was right and we all start growing tails.

A spacecraft that plowed into a small, harmless asteroid millions of miles away succeeded in shifting its orbit. 🧐Humans are pretty fucking cool.
