Here are a couple random things bouncing around my mind. If you’re of a certain age, you’ll understand why I apologize in advance if this comes across like an old Larry King column in USA Today.
I shuddered watching James Vowles, Williams Racing’s new team principal, explain on Netflix’s Drive to Survive that he only has caffeine on race day, because daily intake means the caffeine boost only takes you to a regular state instead of an elevated state. This continues to haunt me.
A current pet peeve is businesses that don’t accept cash, and that I only seem to find them when I want to pay with cash.
My social media feeds are full of ads for Cometeer, a company that flash-freezes specialty coffee that you reconstitute in hot water. I wasn’t interested until I looked at their website, where some of my favorite roasters’ coffee is available. Now I’d like to give it a whirl, but they ship only in boxes of 32, which I’m finding a high barrier to trying it out. #firstworldproblems
The algorithms have also decided I would be interested in this. Heavy emphasis on pulling in investors isn’t exactly a draw, let alone the idea of “friendly robot baristas.” I for one am not ready to welcome our new robot overlords, but if you decide to try it you may want to speak with Old Glory Insurance first.
